Ahh! What is wrong with my plant?!

[DeezBlunts]

I had to do some emergency repotting yesterday. I repotted two of my three plants. One looks fine but the other looks like this:

I hope it’s just some nutrient burn but it must be from the new soil. It’s all over the plant in some degree. I just hope it’s not some fungus or bug infestation. I gave them plain, filtered water yesterday.

this dosnt look like a burn to me . Hence nut burn starts at the tips if im correct? Did you check under ur leaves ? What was ur RH where u grow ? Are the spots fuzzy looking like mold would look like ? Did you use the same soil you started with to re-pot it ? Whats ur PH? Feeding schedual ? Add more info and i think some more pro grower will have the anwser.

So I used the same soil I began with. FoxFarm ocean forest. The RH varies cuz the humidifier ain’t top notch but until it runs out of water it won’t let it get lower than 45% and when it does which isn’t long b4 I get home it can get as low as 26%. It can get temporarily as high as 80% after I spray the walls until the fan pulls it back down. Been trying to keep it within 55-70%. My ppm was very high before repotting (3400) yea...idk why I have only added nutes to water twice since I began growing and did that two weeks apart. But no signs of bad health showing. I’m currently checking them and about to check the ppm and soil ph. Now I’m at 5.3 soil ph and 2783ppm. I think I need to flush this. How do I get the soil ph up? Do I add higher ph’d water? Keep in mind the other two plants have been getting the same lv of nutes or lack of and same environment. The brownish patches are almost all over but not on some of the lower leaves or leaves not exposed to light. Underside of the leaves I don’t see anything and they don’t feel much different, a bit dry tho. Another pic

nice setup man! you got a little tunning up to do and youre well on your way. so your ppm shouldnt be over 500-600 tops and ph should be 6.5-6.7 for soil. all you need to do is add very little nutes and correct your ph to 6.5 when you water and youll be good.

Thanks! I’ve been giving it correct ph water so far. The new soil must have thrown it off to be way down at 5.3. I feel like she’s dying. I’m so sad. The soil is still very moist(almost wet). She’s not drinking at all. I feel like I need to do something extreme to fix it but I’m such a fuckin newb! Been reading online and it looks like ph shock and I guess I need some limestone. I think I should flush it and idk if I know how to do that properly. I see people using the shower to do it and my tap isn’t terrible water. Boston, Ma water isn’t bad, I’ll test the ppm from straight from the tap but I filter it and it’s at 89-107ppm and I water with that. It’s a little brita pitcher that only holds about 1.5L at a time.
In this situation, is straight tap fine to use? It’s looked like this for two days now. Today it looks a little worse. Leaf damage looks more intense but not spreading.Leaves are dryer.

maybe put a fan to blow on top of the soil to make the drying process faster ? Shit happens what can you do. Also for the future try stay away from the high rh 80% for 2 long i 100% thought that was mold growing on the leafs but then you said they were rusty spots. Did you ever considerd buying Plagron Royal Mix Soil? Its a very good soil for starters but a bit on the expensive side . Since for the first 6 weeks you dont need to use fertilizers. BTW is the plant A photoperiod or Autoflower ? if its photoperiod you can save her since she can stay in veg forever

i never ph my soil its not worth the headache but good luck i hope the best for you

Thanks for the info. these are photoperiod. I’ve heard of that soil. I just went with FF ocean forest cuz it seemed pretty standard. The only time rh is too high is when I spray it to raise it. The humidifier will only maintain 45% while my exhaust fan is running constantly. So I’ll spray to bring it up to like 60% as a goal but then it will go high but not for more than maybe 20 min. B4 it is back under 70%. I’ve gotten pretty good at spraying just enough but if I come home and it’s 25% I wet all 4 walls while I refill the humidifier.

this is where I’m at now with the plant. The soil is still moist. It actually doesn’t look like it’s suffering. The spots have turned more of a purplish pink color (but that could just be how it looks under the light) and it’s growing taller. Noticeable from two days ago. Some leaves aren’t effected and it doesn’t feel as dry to touch. I’m still feeling like doing something about the wet soil. I had a rough time repotting. This problem is bcuz of repotting. The new soil has been sittingfor about 6 weeks and was prob “hot” af. So they must have given it too much of something or I may have damaged the roots somehow.I did this on Saturday so idk how long it can go on or how long it takes to course correct.

id consider putting another fan to blow on the fabric pots (i think i saw a post somewhere where it said that fabric pots actually need quit good airflow) i might be mistaken since i have a tower fan. When they are dry enough maybe add some root fertilizer . Now all you can do is wait.

yea it usually gets worse before it gets better. you have to let the soil dry a bit first. put a fan like others said and also a heating pad if u have one handy under your pots will dry them out pretty fast. then flush with 6.5 ph water and give it time to recover. dont get discouraged brotha these things happen and all you can do it learn from it and keep improving with every grow

 

[StevieStoner]

also you dont want it too humid during flowering as when they start getting frosty and its extra humid in your tent = mold. keep your temps at 79 if possible and 35% humid and you cant go wrong

They still vegging out. Everything I been reading says to keep rh from 50-65% in veg. I know once flowering it don’t need or want that much humidity.

Thanx. I plan to add at least one more fan. I gotta get my money right b4 I hit up Amazon for one tho or I’d already have it.

So my problem that I spent much time diagnosing was showing as a calcium deficiency caused by nute lockout from low ph. Which was from too “nute hot” soil when repotting. I flushed at 6.9phand got runoff ph from 5.3 to 6.1 and ppm at 1094.Two days later it seems to have no signs of over watering but it’s dark green color has gotten light. New growth is pushing up and existing leaves and bigger and it’s gained height. I’m bout to cut off the badly damaged leaves. I thing this issue has passed. .

Awesome news! good luck and happy growing my friend.
