Hm that'swhat i thought.. But it seems much worse today with some brown spots in the top bud and drooping even more.. Just as the plant before, but it came back after every flower and leaves and turned brown..thinking that it maybe could be some sort of virus because this is really weird that two plants of different strain "get sick" in the exact same way.. Kinda sad but what can you do! I'll give it a few days to see if something can be saved..

Its unfortunate you are already in flower. You may have did alot of damage to your root system, and its not going to recover once flowering is in full effect. Inspect your roots if you can. If they are dingy white or brown, and dessicated/shriveled, you are probably fubar'd. Ive seen the damage that dessicated roots can have on the health of plants in veg, and it took a few weeks for them to grow new roots and completely recover.

It's kinda like he said, It's really just common sense, If you just let them grow...them bitches will grow, hell, weed is a weed. And it will damn sure grow like one. Don't stress it man, they are a pretty tough plant, they can endure a lot. I use Miracle-Gro honestly. It works great and all my plants are looking good. Just follow UNC's advice on here.great advice im stressing over plants(1st GROW) some info seems to contradict other pros that are trying to help but from my experiance your info seems more logical.....maybe logic doesnt produce more bigger buds I have been over waterig/fertin and when i chill and be patient things look better Lord im an impatient bastard especially when im smokin schwag and waitin for my grow to finishGOD BLESS RIU PEOPLE

I was just wondering if anybody could tell me what the issue with my plants are? First I noticed the leaves doing this
Then I noticed that one of them hermied on me so I decided to just chop'em. When I did so I decided to exmine the roots just to see what kind of condition they were in and this is what they looked like
Now correct me if I'm wrong but they are supposed to be nice and white are they not? I examined the soil to see if maybe there were any critters eating away at the root system but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be the issue?

I once read that dunking a pot in water until the bubbles stopped, which, when you remove it, the water drains, and creates suction to draw oxygen to the roots. Is this a recommended way to water?

hi my name is stickystink im just wondering if you could help me with my plant, well there isnt really a problem now like there was but since i have used hydrogen peroxide and epsom salts into my water mix, its seemed to help the plant greatly, i use very small amounts (at least half the stated dose), and make sure that i do not over water, as i let my medium dry out, but i did water it a bit to much before, once i noticed that something was up wiv her, i went on the forum and found stuff out like you guys!!! hooray for you lot, your godsends the lot ov ya! well once i started these forums i go on a couple that im a member of but yours is far the best the info is really clear and concise and very easy to understand, heaven sent in my eyes she is just starting her 5th week now and fingers crossed x, well i have it in a cardboard box set-up for now until i get my tent, which im literally waiting for now, i have a 250 watt MA bulb, a big shade, digital ballast, and there is mylar lined walls, with small computer fans blowing fresh air across the top of the plant, and the lid took of the top of the box so any stale air can go out of the top of the box, the temp is between 75-80, but when the lights go of it goes down to 61-64 is that to much of a drop? could this stress the plant to much? well the leaves seem ok but does that mean the actual plant itself is better? the stork is alright and leaves look lush green, but residue of yeast from trying out the co2 method (which went tits-up! ooppps!!!) but sparayed the leaves with water to get it of, and cleaned it asap, ill put up some pics of her aswell.

Stickystink, raise the temperature of your growing space when lights are off. Raising the temps will reduce internodal elongation, as well as improve their growth rates, and will decrease the time it takes to flower. Get it up to 70 during lights off would be good. Even 75 is fine.
If your plant is full of beautiful green leaves, then you are probably doing well.

hey UB been reading alot of your threads, forums and all. absolute tons of info anybody can use, absolutly amazing. saw your thread about topping to get 4 colas but cant find it again. but was hoping i could ask you here. on one of my plants iv taken some clones from the bottom(the first original 2 nodes), so if i was to top above the second node which would be the 4 now would i still get 4 colas or does that only apply to if you do it after the real first 2 nodes? and i know its hard to say without a photo but on one of them it looks like little rust spots everywere, any idea what it could be?

Here you go.
I do this to all mine now. If I get what your asking if you took clones from the 2nd or 3rd node, then if you top 2 nodes above there you should have 4 lateral branches to become the 4 main colas. UB answers it better but I think that's what you mean. Post some pics if you can since it's easier to describe. Hope that helps.

Its not from flowering, and Its not Big Bloom. Have you added any other nutrients lately? I can't be of much help. Sorry. You may want to look in the Marijuana Plant Problem forum, and see if there are any threads regarding the same problem. Im sure there are.

UB, and other knowledgeable growers please.
I enjoyed this post. I think it applies to me. Man, I am freaking out and very depressed and disappointed in my current situation. Every other time I wanted to grow, I threw some magic seeds in some garbage and grew a beautiful garden.
This time, I planned everything, spent the $, build the room, dotted the "I"s and crossed the T's. Im murdering my grow. I know it. Please take the time to listen and help me.
There are two small plants in the pictures. Believe it or not, they are both about 5 weeks old.
I started with 20 seedlings and they all died except 4. These two look like crap.
They are both super lemon haze fem, and the larger plant in the larger of the two pots was transplanted into miracle grow soil a week ago because I thought the original soil I used was poopoo.
The smaller one in the yogurt cup is still that same poo poo soil that had been used by my basil plants for a growing season.
Growing environment is 4-23W 6500k spectrum CFLs/ 2-T5s directly overhead 40wattsx2, blue/white spectrum. 68-70degrees at night. 73-80 during the day, with humidity pretty steady at 45-55%.
The smaller plant as you can see is turning yellow and seriously wilting. The larger one is just staying the same with no new growth.
I have tried light nutes on the soil. I have tried flushing/leaching with Phd water. I have tried H202 in the soil. Ive foliar fed the leaves with the nutes, but it hated that, so I then misted leaves with distilled water to remove the white powdery substance and cleanse them.
I had one other plant like this, and I moved it to a small coffee container DWC with air pumps, netpots and maintaining the water at 250ppm 5.8 and that one survived.
Im wondering if I need to do something drastic and change the conditions? I already put the larger one in new MG soil, but that didnt do anything.
Like I said, Ive been doing this for 5 weeks and trying everything. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

how is the drainage on those pots? and what are your watering practices?
Alganj

the yogurt cup has a bunch of holes drilled in the bottom and the larger clay pot has a drain hole as well. there has been no water leaching out of the cups after 2 days of watering/flushing.
I think I over watered at first. Then tried correcting with H202. I havent watered in week until today I watered one today with slight nutes because straight water/superthrive or anything else has not been working.
Im gonna replant the smaller one from the yugurt cup to a larger container. I just planted the other one into the clay pot, so it should be ok for a little while.

well you did not answer about your watering practices,,,ie: how often and how much you have been watering, but I agree you have most likely overwatered them
if you are going to upcan the yogurt one pay attention to the color of any roots you see and describe it for us
then no water for as long as it takes to see the leaves droop
