any ideas on this one?

[lurchdaddy87]

I'm thinking heat stress?? Its critical cheese in ffof, only nuted once on 9/1/13 with 1.5tsp of grow big (same as ultra sour in my other post). Its been kinda hot latley (mid 80s), only have 2 daylight cfls on her about 4" above. Ph is good also...so heat stress or .....?

i don't think it can be heat stress, mid 80's is fine, your two cfl's can't be the problem.

too many nutes

Over Watering(Moister Stress) and or Too much Food...

Either way, the Soil you have has food in it, so let the pot dry up and only give them water.. Don't make the soil MUD.. but don't give them too little..

Give it time they'll bounce back.. STOP FEEDING THEM

how often do you water and how much, could be under watering too. what is your nute schedule? plain water one time next time water w/ nutes or are you nute-ing every water?

 

[lurchdaddy87]

I water every 5 days when the pot is light, and I've only fed nutes once (1.5tsp of grow big) at 6.5 weeks. And yes ill be watering plain every other.

does your pot have holes at the bottom?

 

[lurchdaddy87]

Yep with an attached tray

 

[fir3dragon]

do you remove the tray when watering? if not thats your problem. that water is sitting there killing the bottom roots i bet the bottom of the pot is basically mud..

every 5 days, may not be enough?? idk looks like mine when i under watered. what size pot?

yeah every 5 days might not be enough. I water my party cups every 2 days

They are 4 gal. That may be it though. I always tip them to run excess water out but they do seem bottom heavy lately

i think thats the problem. i got a type of pot like that too. it clamps to the bottom of the pot. all i do is turn it so it doesnt clamp into the holes and the pot sits on top. when im done watering ill empty the saucer. if you want, get like a little rubbermaid tray to put the pot in and water it. im going to get one. im trying to find a tray that angles the sides to the middle, so i can attach a hose and drain it without having to take them out. just attach a hose to it and put the end in a gallon jug. i found one not angled for around 100 bucks but to me thats expensive for a piece of plastic. i may try to make my own.

Or you could Grow in Hempy Buckets and Never worry about this again..

Smart pots, i know ive watered enough when i can see little droplets, but in 4 gal container watering every 5 days is NOT enough. id say every other day but i mist my soil inbetween if it looks a tad dry. it took me a week to come back from underwatering!

 

[lurchdaddy87]

Yea I been using 1 gal between 3 plants in same pots. Seems like they are always bottom heavy. Should I just I let them dry out then till next watering?

Over watered plant

[lurchdaddy87]

Don't think its zinc, gave it calmag last week (small dose). Thinking it is the tray problem, took them off last night amd watered, so we'll see if the bottom dries up now. I'll keep ya posted
