This is a fem GH cheese plant that is about 4 weeks old. There are other plants of different species in this grow and none of them have this problem. The cheese is also about 5" while others are near 8" although it has roughly the same number of nodes, the nodes are verry very compact. She will be put into flower next week and id really like to see her in better shape. Upper leaves do not display any symptoms
Also, i have a small population of fruit flies in my grow cab, should i be concerned?
Thanks a lotsick cheese 001.jpg

Pics really blurry. Looks like same reason you have fruit flies though, too much moisture and not enough airflow or light at base. It could be nitrogen if it starts showing on more leaves, but with fruit flies too, seems like lack of light and air circulation. Put an osculating fan at base, also a hi and low thermometer w/ humidity readings.

Make sure you clean out and throw away any clippings, don't leave them in the pot. that will get rid of the fruit flies.

I would say also look into low stress training LST-it will help prevent that problem as u spread the plant out.

once it rights itself and new nodes start, put it to flower(1.5 weeks at most prolly), u may also want to FIM or top the other plants that are 8" so they all are the same height, otherwise put the small guy on a stand.

Ya looking at it again shows just the bottoms dying, not enough light and air is getting through.

Also, if you tell or take a pic of what you are using, lights, exhaust, and what temp/humidity is, it can make this easier.

thanks for the heads up, it is most likely moisture because i have a moist place. I am using a 400hps, so i dont think lighting is a problem, i have a 12" oscillating fan and an inline fan on carbon scrubber that i will be using in flower. Sounds like i need to dehumidify :/ you think a dehumidifyer from walmart will foot the bill lol

Ya, theres lots of them out there for cheap. I have a small one thats a dehumidifier and fan that i leave at base of garden blowing upward. Also, if you clip off the lower 6-12 inches in the 1st few weeks of flower, depending on how tall they are, and put a fan osculating across their bases toward the exhaust, it will move the moist air out as it comes out of the pots. A strong breeze on the base will make it stronger anyways, and the more air movement the better...

same with light- less is bad, more is better, and there is never too much.

Kinda looks like mine. Read the Mg def from this http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks/ThankYou.htm. Best match as far as I can tell. If not then I have no idea.

If you are also getting white leaf tips, red stems and if the veins are staying dark, you have Mg. - Dont think it is that, unless its just time to feed it and it is just starting to show signs of NPK and Mg

I like that site too NOX but I like this one better for diagnosing them. http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/tables.html

O and ya pest strips are awesome. never used the sand, just cleaned it all up and had pest strips,
