Brown Spots, Yellowing, Leaves Dying (Organic/EJ full line)

Hey i am having quite a problem and i am not sure why. I have leaves that are turning yellow, they get small brown spots or they get dead tissue around the veins and then the leaves turn yellow and die. I have been using sunshine #2 along with the full line of Earth Juice Products. I have been ph adjusting the nutes from day one as well, and yet still I look like I have a bad PH problem. A litmus test puts me at about 6.2 (its a bit hard to read, no exact match). I though it could be mg however I am using the microblast and it has that in there. Nothing appears to help. My Purple Kush is somehow more resistant however it too is starting to show the same signs as the banana's that I have.

I am 4 weeks into veg, and if they did not look ill, I would go 12/12 in a few days.

This has been my nut cycle, i'm wondering if i'm low in nitrogen?

Pictures Soon ~

What am I doing wrong?

dirt or hydro? and what are you setting the PH to?

lots of variables pics would help..

here are some photo's of the issue. I would be very grateful for any help!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Soil ~

Sunshine Soil mix #2

I try to set the Nutrients to about 6.5, this is after I use an air stone for 48 hours.



Oddly, the smaller the plant, the less affected by this condition. .. The PK is far more resistant to whatever the issue is.


I tried to flush with tap watter two of the plants and one looks far worse, the other looks about the same.

Looks they are eating themselves if you keep the soil that dry.... All I can think of Poke your finger 2 inches down in 5 spots. If every poke is dry you need to water. When you water, don't go easy on them, saturate the pot so it doesn't need a watering for a good 3 days.

Its possible, those plants got the flush, so they may have been over watered during that process.

Up until the last time I watered, I tended to just put about a cup in each bucket ever time it got dry. I do not think I was over watering, but perhaps I was watering too often?

over watering isnt going to cause died spots it sounds like cal/m def maybe your ph is too low maybe next watering water her with 6.8 phed water.maybe shes just locked out.

That's a good idea. You can also foliar spray twice a week at 100 ppm 6.5 ph with cal/mag or your nutes with cal and mag in it to fix the deficiency. Spray the plant when the room temps are around 75 F I believe as this aids absorption. Make sure to spray the bottom of the leaves as well. I now see some brown spots but that light color looks like something else maybe lack of nitrogen =/.

You might be overwatering in the terms of too often as you said. So try this, when you water your plants, just keep pouring water around the edge and around the stem completely making the whole entire pot wet. When your pot feels like it went from 1 pound to 5 pounds... you have watered enough. My LSD in the pic below gets watered anytime I do some soil pokes 2 inches and feel no moisture. Basically bottom 3/4 of the pot stay moist 24/7 and it looks like this. When you give your plant water, make sure you give it plenty =] Keep us updated

It slowly gets worse every day. I am deeply frustrated. All ph levels look normal. I just went to water and no nutes for a week to see if that would help, but no. Every day just slightly worse. It's like there was some kind of poison in the soil or the Earth Juice products went bad. i have no idea and no one to help.

Give 1 a feeding double the dose of what you have been giving them. Seems they are just hungry maybe =/
