Have A Plant Problem? Check Here First

can that little fruit flies harm your plant? because i see them on my soil all the time just chillin there ><

Omg I really need help saving my girls please! I've got 2 nl autos in 2.5 gal pots and I'm using (4) 42watt and (6) 23watt soft white cfl's, about 2 to 3 weeks into flower. One plant is really light green, slightly yellow with burn spots on the leaves and some purple on the stems. The other one is still green but has some burn spots and some purple on the stems. I flushed them about 36 hours ago with well water and gave them a drink of boost pack 20-20-20 and some soil amp. I checked the soil ph and it was reading around 4.6, I added 1tbsp of fast acting lime to the surface of the pots but haven't watered the lime into the soil yet. I don't have the money for a good water ph meter, so I tried to check the water with my soil ph probe tester, but it wasn't a reliable reading ( it was reading very acidic, and then very alkline). Can somebody point me in the right direction to solve the problem please. I heard foliar feeding will help them fatsest. But can I folair feed on my buds during flowering? If so what do I use, and how much? I'm on ssi and have a 1 1/2 year old, so not much funds or time to research. But I really need the medicine, so I. Really need your guy's help please to save them!

Me too,me too!
has any one seen this before, don't have a lot of issues growing but here's one the has hit four weeks into flowering.

looking at my notes I would think it was over fret. I reuse super soil, and she is dry at the top two inches after two days, and needs to be watered after four. One mo. Into flower and I think it's P or nitrogen or both, didn't check Ph this morning.

Hi all Could also use some help working out what's wrong with my babies This is my first grow so not super familiar with nute problem etc. looks..
They are under CFL's, about a month old from seed maybe? I have done some LST + Topping on some, but stopped it when i transplanted and then once the problems started occuring heavily.
Originally they where in just clay pebbles, but without a hydro setup. Just hand watering..so i decided to transplant them to soil. I used a mix of MG Organic / Perlite / Peat Moss / Small amount of clay pebbles mixed through...of ratio about 1: .5: .25. These problems only started about a week ago. I hadn't fed them for about 2 days, then my room-mate fed them once. I initially thought it might have been from an overfeed. I have since stopped feeding..just using seaweed extract once daily for stress. Now im not sure what it could be Looked at alot of the photos but cant seem to pinpoint it.. The transplant was two days ago..check before the temp in the grow room is a little warm at the moment..had to move it all so its not setup 100% again. Any help is appreciated

Hey greenabyss, I noticed your using the organic soil so your might want to check your soil ph. It might be a bit on the acidic side, which will cause nute lock (salt build up that stops the roots from absorbing its nutes). I would flush your plants with just ph balanced water and when the soil drys some repot them in bigger pots (3 gal atleast) and try using a bit more soil rather then the straight organic stuff. If your soil is still too acidic, then you'll need to add some dolomite lime to balance out your soil to more around 6.3 to 7. Invest in some superthrive also, it works wonders. I would also suggest giving the a good watering of balanced nutes (20-20-20), just to even everything out again. Folair feeding would be wise at this stage in your grow also. Give it 2 days after you've done all this and you should see some better happier plants! Hope this helps and that your girls make a quick and healthy recovery!

Thanks for the speedy reply mrgreenworld. Do i need a soil PH meter? Or can i ph check the water runoff? The reason i havn't fed anything else is the soil im using has time release nutes ><" Won't it fry them if i smash with water and nutes? And should i be
foliar feeding the nutes? or just water foliar feed? Thanks again The girls also say thanks hehe

Hey greenabyss, a ph soil teaster is helpful, but you can just check the runoff. You want your runoff to be around 5.8 to 6.3, which should put your soil right around 6.5 to 6.8 for a ph. Don't worry so much about the time release when you flush them (alot of those nutes will wash away when you flush). You will want to flush them with twice as much ph'd water as your pots can hold (example 3gal pots = 6gal of ph'd water needed to flush with). After you flush them, then check your runoff. If your runoff is good, then give them a couple days before adding your nutes. Some superthrive and soil amp would be wise to add in at this time after you flush. When you go to water them the next tiime afteryou flush them is when you should add the rest of your nutes (complete nute feeding example 20-20-20) that will also help to balance things out for you. And you should just folair feed with ph'd water until you see improvement, before you start adding nutes to your folair feed. A little advice would be when you do start folair feeding, just use 1/4 strength of nutes. Cause the leaves take the nutes in faster then through the soil. I really hope this helps you out and your girls. You should see results in just a couple days. Let me know how it works out for you ok. The more people working together on things, the better our lives can be.

Quick update - I checked the PH of the soil, it read around 5.5, and the run-off PH test came to about 5.0. I flushed them today, and added a little dolomite lime on top of the soil. Foliar feeding PH'd water with a light strength seaweed mix at the moment..hopefully i will see some results in a few days After they start reading a little better on the PH scale i will transplant into bigger pots. Thanks for the help mrgreenworld!

Hey no problem greenabyss, glad I could help! I still suggest getting some superthrive and some soil amp, they work wonders, and you won't be disappointed! I used them on mine and they did a complete turn around in about 2 days. Remember the more you grow the more you'll learn, the more you'll learn the more you'll grow. Happy growing, and keep me posted greenabyss

Hi there,
I have absolutely the same situation.
Hi there.
I have my first grow in process. But something is going wrong. Actually i have 16 plants (4 different species) and 8 of them are good and nice looking but other 8 are much more smaller and looking sick. Firstly, I thought that it depends on the species, but i found that even same type of weed have this issue. I have uploaded two photos of good and bad sample of the same type (white widow). They were kept absolutely in the same place, using the same light and nutrients. Today i transfered to bigger pots and left some of them(bad ones) outside for a while. advise me please... !!! what to do?

I just went to check on my plants and I noticed that they're kind of wilted. They were completely fine and not wilted at all earlier today. The only things that I did today was give them 3 quarts of water and the excess drained out, and they got more sun than they normally do and I'm not giving them nutes yet. I've never observed my plants at night before, would they be doing this just to go to sleep or is it the cold? It's 62 degrees here and a little windy.

For the past three people, here's your solution:

STOP OVER-WATERING YOUR PLANTS!!!

For one of you flushing will just make it worse.

Hi Guys,

I'm getting ready for growing and I've got everything sorted out but there is one big problem that has occurred and this might sound pretty ridiculous but I can only water it at 6 am and then water it again at 5, from 5 on I have no problem watering it every 2 hours or so but the problem is from the morning to 5 without watering... There is a lake near me, I found a great place to plant... Should I plant it next to the lake due to me not being able to water it before 5 so that it gets water naturally from the lake and it won't necessarily being over watered because I wont water it for a good chunk of the day. If not I doubt it but are their any solutions to this?

Thanks guys

Cannabis only needs to be watered every 2-3 days. One of the biggest mistakes people make is over watering and over ferting their plants.

Definitely watering too much. Just wait for the leaves to droop a little or you can feel how heavy your cup/pots are before and after you water them to get a good idea when to water them next. The roots need to breathe and if you keep them saturated, you take away any chance of that.

Its raining out and i noticed i had a small nut def problem, iron def i beleive. Should i go out asap and fed it. Or wait for the rain to pass and wait for the pots to dry out?????

Three babies born today! One was born with her "helmet" still attached. I tried gently nudging it hoping it would fall off, but it seems to be still clinging to something. Any suggestions as to how I can get her to shed her headgear? Thanks in advance. peace...bongwater
