I know I said my Ph is in the 6.0 - 7.0 range, but to be honest I've never had my Ph get up to 7.0 nevermind 8.0

I use the paper test strips which indicate the Ph by color; I haven't had a test strip change to a solid 7.0 color yet. However I have seen it change slightly from the 6.0 color and that is why I say it's between 6.0 - 7.0

For Soil Grows the Ph you want to have is between 6.1 - 6.9

But for Hydro & Soiless Grows you would want 5.5 - 6.5

That's my understanding from what I've read and seen online in forums as well as YouTube vids.

And no, not a worm.. Just a pipe cleaner lol!!
Oh ok to be honest I got scared on the second picture haha I thought it was a worm and second what nutrition you using and how much?

I'm using Fox Farms Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom. I also use General Organics CaMg+ (like once or twice a month) and I was using a Stump Tea in Veg but I haven't used any since the switch to 12/12. I water every 2 days or every other day as long as the top inch or two of the soil is COMPLETELY dry, and I feed nutes every other, other watering so about every 4 days I will give them nutes.

For ventilation I keep the door to the room open during lights on and I close it during lights off. This allows me to get Co2 in there as well as get the stale air out (I think). The plants have their own room not a basement or closet.

Thank you for taking the time to help me! I appreciate any & all help!!

Is this plant suffering from some kind of deficiency?

It's a blueberry auto strain at about 21 days post germination.Growing in potting soil with perlite and compost (20% volume). I haven't given any nutes and I don't plan to unless necessary.

Let me start by saying I am a beginner grower. Everything I know I've either read from a book or forum, or seen in a grow guide on YouTube.

You said you didn't use any nutes, rite? Did you use any fertilizers in your grow medium?

To me it looks like it could be nitrogen deficient. And if you haven't used any nutes or ferts it would make sense because cannabis plants NEED A LOT of nitrogen in veg. But again; I'm just a beginner and it could be something else.

From what I've read a nitrogen deficiency will usually start with the lower leaves turning a pale green / yellowish color, and work its way up the plant.

Sorry to crash this thread: not finding where to add new post?

Hi all,

Would like to get some advice.

I've started 3 x OG Kush auto May 7 2017. Outdoor.

Have sprung up nicely, however I noticed ( as with a previous outdoor grow) the oldest leaves ( bottom of plant) seem to be getting white spots and it seems gotten so bad that the bottome leaves looke 'burnt' and have crisped away.

What is happening?

Google research(!) and a visit to a garden centre I came away with a few things:
1. Some sort of pest/fungus : I have used onion/garlic puree to coat the leaves last couple of days.
2. Over/under nutrient (Nitrogen)?
3. Too much water ( has been wet spell for last couple of weeks)

Was thinking to go get some pesticide/fungicide?

Muchos gracias :)

Not sure it's hard to tell since I'm not there hahaha anyways to be honest when I use to grow all I did was use worm compost 1-1-1 and 1-0-0 one cup of each it would work like a charm once a month and the right ph but I'll keep looking over your picture and try to remember my past bad experience so don't worry I'm try to fix this issue and see the problem outside the box

Omg wait do you use tap water? Do you filter that water with a pitcher ?

Yeah I'm using tap water and unfortunately no filter.. I just fill each of my gallon jugs and then let them sit in the grow room with their tops off for 12 - 24 hrs (to let the chlorine evaporate) then give them a GOOD shake (to get some dissolved oxygen back into the water) before watering..

Make it sit for 24 hrs I think 12hrs might not be enough to make chlorine evaporate. Also how do you bring the ph water down?

@Scaccia450 Thanks firstly for response!

I'll have to get me hands on one of these pH checkers asap.

Honestly though last 3 weeks or so has been only rain water - have brought the pots in when its been consistent rain so the soil doesn't get too soaked through.

I envisage the following (this is second set after last summer)
Wanted to keep it pretty simple as possible ( not major fussed , though interest, knowledge and experience growing organically - pin intended!)
4 month release soil ( though suspect the heavy rain has flushed some nutrients out a the soil)
Hoping to get out summer back again next week - envisaged little maintenance bar watering when soil is touch dry
At around 6 weeks feed with organic seaweed solution as per instruction ( 1 cap/4 litre/gallon) every so often when soil is dry
At around 10 weeks back to water only ( picked up some good tips on this thread re: pH and de-chlorination!)
I kinda get the poster who mentioned his plants favoured dryer warmer conditions.
Sun + water = decent growth and budding.
Not super bent of mega mind blowing nugs (yet!) just getting my fingers greener and greener.

Started growing last summer due to health conditions that 'God's-plant' eases and not get super fry chem bent stuff from less than reputable dealers.
;-p

Looking at a good spell of warmth and sunshine so hoping the white spots + decay will ease ( I fear it has been the extremely moist conditions that caused this rot of sort?)

Best for now, keep youse all upta date on progress

Don't mean to thread jack but maybe someone here can help.

First grow

Outdoor grow, I'm not sure of the age of this plant but I'm guessing it's around 30-40 days old. Was doing great when I left for the weekend and came back to be quite bummed and slumped as to what to do. The fan leaf stems are purple on top but not on the bottom and their seems to be some spots on the leafs as well. I'm new to this and I've been doing a lot of research trying to teach myself but sometimes you just have to ask someone with experience. I've grown the plant with only water since seed untill yesterday I hit it with its first nutrient feeding and a calmag folier spray mix at sundown. the new growth seems stunned as well. The leaves aren't filling out like normal and have a brighter green color on the inside of the new growth and some are "canoeing" Not sure what to do. any suggestions? IMG_3502.JPG IMG_3499.JPG
