few problems with my 5 1/2 week old Deisel ryder

[lizzardking]

ive been in flowering from around the 3rd week of growth. i do have a few problems that im abit worried about. firstly some leaves are turning yellow also have brown tips. im not sure weather its a nute burn or a lack of nutes i water them when top 2" of soil is dry maby 2 3 times a week. i feed them nutes (biobizz) grow and bloom now just added bloom other day. also in biobizz soil. 18/6 light schedual. need some help thanks for all advice in advance.

 

[brasmith]

They look nitrogen deficient. Could be related to how often and how much you feed them? You may not be feeding them enough, tell us your feeding schedule and how much. Oh also the npk ratios for both grow and bloom, this will help us help you

 

[1ht1der]

Agree w/ the N deficiency (if in veg), but since almost 3 weeks into flowering I also might add/ask maybe everything is ok, and its already using its energy for buds, causing the leaves to yellow, and eventually (closer to week 8.) leaves may fall off...

 

[smokeybandit22]

like usual brasmith is right on. you want them to yellow close to harvest but need to have controlled yellowing until then. need the ratios so brasmith can finish his diagnosis

bio bizz grow n-p-k 8.0-2.0-6.0 bio bizz bloom n-p-k 2.0-6.0-3.5 only used the bloom once with grow on my last feed wich i gave around half a teaspoon each into 3ltrs of water for most of the way through i have been giving them very low nutes cuz of it being a lowryder plant my schedual is water water feed water water feed

At this point cut out the grow food. Go with the full reccomended amount of bloom and change the feeding schedule. They are getting 2 full waterings, to 1 feeding right now which is equal to flushing out their needed elements, counter productive. Go with this schedule;

Feed-full recommended dose of bloom
water- only and/or molasses 1tbl per gallon
Feed-full dose
water-only and/or molasses
on and on......
Every time your pot feels dry do the opposite of the time before, about every 3-4 days. Within a few days after you give them this next feeding (soon) you will see the green comming back and fattening up. Luck

Btw....you may have to extend your flower time by a week or 2 because they my have to catch up,just be prepared and not discouraged.

thanks for the advice will definitly take it on borad and do what u recomend altho i dont have mollasses. thanks again

 

[brasmith]

Molasses isn't necessary, just good for the plants during flower, it is full of good carbs and fattens up the bud and a nice inexpensive natural additive. If you did choose to begin using it, you'd be pleased.

Looking forward to seeing the results, keep us posted

if your flowering shouldnt you be on a 12/12 cycle and not a 18/6? also check your ph of the soil that could be what is causing the def.

 

[lizzardking]

its an auto flowering plant works best with 18/6 lighting ive checked ph all good runoff today was 6.7 and gave it full bloom nutes. thanks for all the help ill keep this page updated

Thanks Lizzard, I like figuring this stuff out. I just have to give you kudos for asking for help because I have always been too embarrased (pride) to admit my girls have had issues too. I am the first to deny family disfunction.

I always appreciate your votes.

 

[lizzardking]

thanks again 4 the help brasmith i want some good bud at the end of it ill never hesitate for help when i know their are expert growers out their with first class advise

 

[lizzardking]

Update: cant realy say anything about the yelowing cuz ive just started to try and fix it gave it ful dose of nutes the other day but heres some pics

 

[brasmith]

They look like they are starting to get a little greener and the buds look a bit fatter. Do they need to be watered again within a day or so? If they do, feed em another full dose this time too, looks like they need a bigger jump start. After this next feeding you may notice some of the leaves staying yellow but all new growth will be green. Once some of the yellow leaves completely die off cut them from the plant. Lookin better for sure.

 

[lizzardking]

yeah they will need watering 2morow or the day after im also gonig to try and get some molasses. should i use molasses with the nutes or use them seperately?

 

[brasmith]

Your plants will like molasses. It doesn't matter what brand of molasses you get, just make sure it is unsulphared. Add 1 table spoon per gallon of water. Use it on your water only days, so just water and molasses. have fun

 

[lizzardking]

ok thanks 4 gettin back 2 me as i said i might get molasses but it depends if the store has got some and it would say on the lable if it is unsulphared right?

srry 4 all the questions
