This Blue Mystic has been doing fantastic till just recently. Her big sister is 2 weeks older, and much worse.
She is in a 5 gal bucket with 3 equal parts Coco, Perlite, and Miracle Grow Potting Soil.
At transplant, I put a soil tab from Nirvana down under the tiny sprout.
Usually she gets plain old water, ph'd if needed.
Once it got well into flowering, I'd give it a bit of my hydro nutes from General Hydroponics, the Flora Grow system.
Everything was great, but it's started turning yellow, especially on the leaves, and the tips are curling.
I don't know if it's a deficiency or an abundance.
Can anyone tell from the pics what's going on?

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My plants are looking just about the same as your pics.
How did you fix it?

Hey guys, sorry ive been super busy!

Popeshank, your ok! the plant begins to wither as it gets old, and nugs are well developed. its dying man, and cares less for leaves and more for nugs. At this point, your primary concern should also be the nugs. You can give it some nutrients (try to stick to organic for the taste), but the leaves will continue to die out. As long as its a slow process, and the nugs keep maturing, you're ok. Either way, dont go crazy with nutes or anything and burn it this far in!

I leave here a few pics of what i got going on, probably 6-8 weeks left til done,

herb2.jpg herb1.jpg < thats a 45cm cubed pot!

Sadly, these photos are from 2 weeks ago i think (so really early onto the flowering).

The skinny plant (lemon haze) is now about 7ft, and big dense nugs; while the fatty indica (a south american hash-hybrid plant - best explanation i can give) is about 6ft, but very very wide, probably 4-5ft!

The nugs are coming in well on both, started to get frosted, and the nug growth is filling in the internodal spacing (on the hash plant for sure, little more time to fill in big gaps on the haze). The haze stinks... that almost exotic weed smell, that tells you "sit down before you hit this", while the hash plant... well... smells like a dirty lady ;)

Honestly, im not sure which ill like more, the hash plant will be great w pains/arthritis from riding a motorcycle, and getting older, while the haze plant, im guessing, will just make me not care about the aches! that might be better for work (urbanism), to be more social and fun!

Anyways, im outa here. Keep up the good work guys, ill try to post up some better pics, but the female unit in my life lost our camera!

Yea bro nice we need help my girl just started a problem pix help well be appreciate it
Purple in the stems is usually nitrogen (N). The yellowing looks like phosphorus (P)... or maybe potassium (K). I think (P) though. There's a post under the first, with a link to a really good chart.

yea cal mag is a pretty common one, thankfully it doesnt take much of either for a plant to thrive. they just have to be included.
Im currently using a 4 part nutrient solution and only 1 of the 4 contains both of these, the other 3 dont.

I kinda just think people need to read the labels, and know what is in that jug of "Green Booster!" or whatever they buy
hey bro i have some prombles i put pics up i have a journal up to please help bro

Please help me diagnose these plants.
I am running in peat (Klassman) perlite and vermiculite. 50-30-20

Have been using tap water aired out for few days. Scotts professional 30-10-10 at 1/3 strength with added liquid seaweed.

The larger plants are f'ing nearly 7 weeks old. clones cut from them before any signs of trouble.

Whats confusing me is i had 1 experimental plant with organic soil (EWC and blood&bone etc) and it is showing similar signs but to a less of a degree and this plants has only been few a EWC tea QQ Photo20140517212430.jpgQQ Photo20140517212427.jpg QQ Photo20140517212423.jpg QQ Photo20140517212412.jpg QQ Photo20140517212405.jpg QQ Photo20140517212400.jpg QQ Photo20140517212338.jpg QQ Photo20140517212335.jpg

I've gone thru 25 pages on here looking for someone else having problems similar to mine! Eeek I think im a freak of nature. So this girl, she is Failing to thrive. She is so deformed I can't believe she is still alive. All of my other plants seem fine, they have a little problem here and there, but everyone else I can fix and work with. image.jpgIt is a clone, Larry og. Every single new growth site is deformed. Like someone cut the leaf short. Slow growth lots of stretching between nodes. Weird wrinkled leaves. I know the plant is worthless. But what happened? image.jpg

I have a nagging suspicion it's the soil. I have an Apollo 13 in the flower room that was potted with the same ocean forest that it having issues too, but she was farther along and healthy when I transplanted her into a larger pot. Her buds just don't want to form. Just very small hard calyxs. She never had that first stage of flower when they look like fuzzy white Pom poms.
