Gc leaves curling.jpgGC clone leave curl.jpg I just found this link today and I have added it to my collection of links for my journal to help me have a quick reference to check my methods or ideas that i come across or problems i have and for the most part a little reading on my part i find the cure but this has me stumped its only happening to the new growth.

Its a coco grow with canna rihzotonic,coco a&b, canazyme. I used 10 liters H2o PH 5.8, 10ml ea as this is a clone unknown age Ive had Weeks at that time i up potted from 16 oz Dixie cup to liter nursery pot with extra 1\2 inch holes drilled in. I feed till i get about 10% run off. about every-4 days or when pot feels 1\2 its full wight. 400w HPS now for 8 days doing a slow transition by 30min a day from 18\6. Any help please I would like to catch this now i will need to feed again tomorrow. Thanks to all who try to help others

How close are your lights and what is the temp at the top of the plants and in the grow area? Kinda hard to tell from the pics but it looks like heat maybe. Also, do you know what your ph is? I know some of the Canna stuff has stuff in it to help control the ph. I don't know much about growing in coco though. Have you seen this link, http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688

Hey Zen Master!

I turned my PM off because I keep forgetting to check them and I'd have a mailbox full of 2 month old messages, sometimes doubles of people telling me off for not returning their first message. I did the same thing with my phone years ago.

I've been making sublingual tincture, my favourite method of consumption. Fast, potent hits, good duration, easy to titrate doses, easy on the throat. And the mist bottles are portable which is nice when leaving the house.

wait a minute man, are you telling me that that pump has some kind of extract in it that can give the same, or better euphoric feeling that something rolled up can give me.
oh my God, i want in. how does it work, because if it is the same "exact" high, or buzz, or whatever that i would get from a specific genetic in a joint, and its the same in that extract, man i want to know how to do that.
please Mr. Hobbes,.........teach me the ways of the Wu Tang!!!!

Zen Master the link is at the bottom of this post, right hand side. It's also in the ebook that I want to include this plant problem guide. In.

For me the high is more potent than smoking or vaporizing - hits in under a minute and is so relaxing. Faster than brownies, easier to control effects, less bud is used.

For anyone trying sublingual tincture - when you spray under your tongue inhale at the same time. Fine mist goes into the lungs, I feel effects in 10 or 15 seconds. Very relaxing.

KINDA NOOB!! WEEK 6/7 BLUE CHEESE flower!!! Kind of a weird situation - I had a light leak for a while and just sealed it over a week ago. It caused some of the girls to produce a few seeds I think. But I am also noticing now that the buds are coming off really easy does anybody know why??? Have I flowered too long on this particular strain? In the beginning they just seemed to be slow going cuz they were cuts from another guy and looked crappy but they turned out really nice just these lil glitches... Anyone?

A small light leak would not cause your buds to come off easy. most it would probably do is slow flowering a little. When you grow outside they rarely see complete darkness and they do just fine. Mine also have had leaks and never seemed to hurt anything. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as it's fixed. Sometimes plants will produce seeds with no visible signs of any male flowers but that doesn't mean they weren't there. You might have missed a single flower. I've had some before where I found a single pod with a seed, not like it was pollinated and not on a flower really. just kinda by it self. What do you mean the buds are coming off really easy, like when you pull on them? I don't think you have flowered to long, most any strain will take 8-9 weeks at least. got any pics??
 
It's my first time that I grow a plant and I have some problems...
At August I germanate 7 seeds(unknown brand) but only 2 female plants left and the one started to have white-yellow leafs 2 months ago...I believe that finally I'll harvest only one!
Anyway.... I have them to 12/12 from 29 of september and everything was OK until 2 weeks ago that the leafs started to getting brown....
I attach a photo.
Does anyone knows what's wrong with it?
THANKS!

p.s. sorry for my English :P

ok ladies and gents i have an issue with my pistils not turning color. im in the 9th and week of flowering(8 week strain) and i thought i was kinda odd that the pistis are still 95% white. yesterday i looked through the scope and i saw a sea of milky white trichs and maybe one or two amber trichs, but like i said all white trichs, and the calyxes really havent started to swell . this is strange because this never happened to me before. what should i do? should i give it another week, two weeks to see if they change? should i chop it now and avoid the thc degrading? dont want to take a loss of yeild, but if i wait and give the flowers time to swell the thc might be degraded to an undesirable point. PLLEEAASSS!!!!! someone give me some advice on this, as i am stumped.

also what are the symptoms of cal-mag deficiency. cause this is also going on;in the beginning, on the top portion of the plant the fan leaves are starting to get yellow in between the veins, while the veins are staying "DARK" green. later on the yellow portion starts to turn a goldish/bronze color, while the viens start to pale. once it passes that stage, the enitre leaf starts to turn goldish/bronze, curl under(from the sides), until its dry and crackly, then it starts on the next level underneath it. ive never had this problem before, and ive heard that coco can suffer from cal-mag issues real easy. and seeing that im doing what ive been doing for a while and never had this problem that it might be a Cal-Mag deficiency. i'll try to put up a tomorrow, if needed. thanks everybody.

Sounds like salt build up. Flush your plant.

Magnesium does appear a little like that, but usually on the lower leaves.

Could just be heat related also.

Hello, I have this problem with leaves. They turned brown for some reason. This is an autoflowering strain and is in its 7th week of flowering. Whole flowering should last for 10-12 weeks..I suspect this might be phosphorus deficiency but I have fertilized my girl very little with 10-54-10 fertilizer about a week ago. Any help would be much appreciated :)

Looks like she is maturing nicely. I agree with your assessment that it is probably short of phosphorus. Don't do anything drastic, just feed a little more and make sure you don't create any salt build up in the media. You'll be done with that plant before you know it.

ok i was able to get some pics the first three are in veg, the fourth one is a mother and the last two are in flower. any help would be greatly appreciated. i was doing some reading last night and there are a lot of similar symptoms with alot of the deficiencies. but i did kinda came to a few conclusions, and maybe some one can tell me if im right or wrong.
#1 i havent had alot of run off lately, could a build up of salts cause the lockout of certian nutrients to cause these problems.

#2 Ph and Chlorine, i use Canna Coco and their nutes allow for the use of regular tap water. up until now i havent had any problems like this, so here lately i havent really been worried about Ph'ing my water or letting it sit so whatever amount of chlorine(if any) is in it can evaporate. could the ph being too high or low cause these issues? could chlorine levels in the water cause this? agian like i said any help would be grealy appreciated, thanks.


PEACE!!!
