I think my baby's gonna die

[gopherbuddah]

This is my DNA Genetic's Chocolope, Emerald Triangle's Super Sour O.G., and their Emerald Jack. I planted the Chocolope about three weeks ago and the Emerald Triangles about two weeks ago. All three are growing in Fox Farm's Ocean Forrest under a 400w mh on an 18/6 light cycle. I've not started using nutes yet, only water. I've used the same soil, lights, and water for other grows and have never had any kind of problems what so ever. The Choclope isn't looking good at all. Her leaves are turning brown and crispy, just not good. This only started about three days ago but is getting worse every day. It almost looks like nute burn, but I'm not feeding her. I flushed her any way just to be on the safe side. I'm thinking maybe heat stress, but moving her away from the lights hasn't seemed to help either. I topped her a couple days ago and the new growths look green and healthy. I just don't get it. Please somebody help me. The second pic is the Super Sour O.G. The next is the Emerald Jack and the last one's are the Chocolope.

Nobody wants to take a guess? I'm really stumped on this one and could use help

maybe the nutes in the ocean forrest are to much for that strain.

that's nute burn, flush your soil REAL good and water with plain water after that... she will be fine.

I just burn't a mk ultra baby when I transplanted it to OF, but all i did was flush and she (hopefully) is fine.

I know you haven't had problems with FFOF before, but I think it's your problem now. It could be that those strains you are growing are more sensitive to nutes than others you've done in the past. Is everything the same like temps & humidity, Im pretty sure those play a role in nute burn. Looks like nute burn to me, but Im guessing. Do you pH your water? Cuz tap water's Ph changes from time to time.

Won't flushing with a nuted soil just release more nutrients in the soil and again overfeed the plants?

It never has for me but some people say it will when using stuff like MG cause it has time released food in it. The food in stuff like FFOF is immed available and that's why a flush won't hurt it. Also if that was the case then every outside grower on earth would be FUCKED when it rains out lol

 

[gopherbuddah]

Thanks alot everyone. I flushed her with some rain water today, gonna keep an eye on her and hope she makes it

 

[max316420]

watch your ph when using rain water

 

[MrGhettoGrower]

The more you water FFOF the lower the ph & the more nutrients releasedOutside grower are not F'ed cuz their not in FFOFI've had the same shitI'm on 8th week flowering can't wait for it to be overI've burn'em little had low ph added 4 cups of lime to each 5 gallon pot 1 cup at a time and the ph is still low

 

[gopherbuddah]

I never check ph levels or ever know my humidity percentage. I'm going with, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it approach with growing. I kept trying until I got it right and use the same formula over and over. It's worked great till this grow. Like I said this is the first problem I've had

I don't understand what your saying about outdoor, I was talkin' about indoor plant food fed soil not outdoor soil. When I've grown outdoor I just used plain dirt and I've gotten some healthy monsters over my head. Immediate food isn't activated by water?

 

[max316420]

that's what im saying... there is food in the ground already right? well say it rains for 3 days straight... is it gonna make the food that's already in the soil burn your plants cause the soil is getting flushed? Point being is that your not gonna burn your plants by flushing them...

Natures got itself a good system and distributes the nutrients in a ultra efficient manner. Your last statment depends on the soil correct? Another question, how long does FFOF nutes stay in the soil. Lets say they stay in there for two months if you flush won't you just start right back where you were before you flush. That is unless you flush 2 months of nutes out that may takes 100's of gallons.

 

[max316420]

im a little confused about what you just said lol but ffof is supposed to last around a month but I have started light feeding about 2 weeks in wo any problems

Where's the confusion? lol. I'll try and make it clearer, but it seems to make perfect sense to me.

 

[gopherbuddah]

After flushing her she looks to be doing a little better. Her new growths are lookin lush and green and she seems to be thriving. Thanks for the help all
