Hey hello..need some help..I'm growing 6 plants indoors in soil happy frog..3 large 6500k cfl's..one 600hps..1t5..2 Led's 250watt each..all the plants did great all the way up to flower..but I got 2 plants showing some sort of problem on the lower leaves..and it looks to be trying to spread up the plant..I treated the leaves on all of the plants for fungus with a foliar spray..and I flushed them the other night..but the leaves at the bottom of the two plants have been cupping and getting really rusty the last week..I started out organic..but then I began to add a lil FF bloom nutrient when I flipped to flower thinking my regular feeding nutrient wasnt enough..my regular nutrient source was always aloe and cocnut water and they never burned or had deficiency..grew really fast with big root systems..it wasnt until I started with big bloom that my leaves began to get ugly..can yaw take a look and tell me what this could be? These are sourdiesel/Star dawg cross and I think Tahoe/Alien cross on the other..dont have eyes on it to be sure while.I'm typing..here are pics..what is this crap? The last 3 pics are of a 3rd plant and the leaves are rusty but not lile the other two.. Might be two diff things or three because they're three diff plants..but I just dont want it to spread anymore or to my other healthy plants..any thoughts/help? Should I pluck em off..just left em after I sprayed and flushed..the tops look great tho..

I agree with you F. It does look like something rotting causing them lower leaves to wilt down, but also!
love you're using aloe/coconut to water the plants! I wonder if the batch of soil u got is fucked. I just "slurry" tested mine that did the same and its very low. like 6.0 . I used some type of ph/up to correct it and i'll see how it goes man i hope this helps ya! 6.3-6.8 is ideal so i watered my 6.0 with 7.0 this random time i decided to check if that makes sense.

I'd start with a slurry/ph test here to see where you are at, and then maybe after that just say fuck it n keep it rolling without any further measurements. I bet whatever u get will be better than the shit thats out there man!

imo looks like not enough light getting down there and the plant is kicking those leaves to the curb.

I didnt check my runoff..gonna do that in a day when its time to feed the others..or maybe ill just chill on these two..these two are always still heavy when the others are light and thirsty..I'm hoping I didnt over do it with the aloe..its a humectant? I think I'm saying it right..might be gumming up the works..I fluahed though..juat gonna let em dry out..they look more vibrant today though..the leaves that were rusty just flopping there..but theres new pistils and growth up top..so I think ur right on the water thing..they maybe needed a good flush..maybe I need to flush all of them..since I havent done it since ive planted really..just didnt think they needed it since I dont use a lot of commercial nutes..but I guess salt buildup can still happen..so yeah..everybodys getting a flush..so we can get back to thos bud making..no brakes!

By the way..I didnt defoliate..any of them..just too chicken shit to try it and my luck do it wrong..all of the leaves wilting aren't connected to bud sites..just fans..but still I'm scared to prune..just dont want any adverse affects of this..

Id say pik anything low that sucks or you know isnt getting light or wont produce anything and those cfl lights on the floor are basically not doing anything for you in that position.

Okay..lol..still nervous ..and I was just throwing everything I had at them..those were the bulbs I used in early veg while they were in solo cups..just kept them in as they got bigger..I'll give it shot..you dont think this late in flower will cause stress?

That was always my main concern..stressing them too much..sure would improve air flow in my space though..i might have to pray about it first lol..thanks for your input tho man

You won’t be stressing the plant at all - it’s done with those leaves that’s why it’s eating them...

If you remove a bunch of healthily fan leaves then yeah - she’s gonna be pissed but you’re fine :)

well some stress is going to occur because it has to heal that wound but its better in the long run to get it done and move forward then to keep it on the plant sucking energy for the rest of its time. If in veg or early flower 1-2 weeks you could spray a little kelp to help heal the wound or in flower a mild silica spray will help heal it.
