Hello..
Our girls are looking fairly happy, but there's something definitely wrong. James is away, and I really don't want his plants to die before he gets home!
*there are pictures attached
*we are growing indoors
*the watering schedule is as they dry, feed, feed, water, feed, water. We're feeding with Botanicare Pure Bend, soil formula Pure Bloom - it's 1-4-5
*the planting medium is some sort of indoor potting soil with vermiculite and sterilized mushroom manure mixed
*we're at day 31 of flowering
*Ph of food and water is always between 5.8 and 6.3
* temp is around 80F when the light is on (presumably lower when it's off)
*there is a possibility that we've not been letting them dry out enough between feeding/watering
*once we went over to flowering we did remove some of the lower leaves to improve light/air circulation
So, the problem: The leaves at the bottom of the plant are curling up a bit, and drying out and turning brown from the edges in. Where they're brown, they're quite crispy. There's also a bit of mottling. Where we removed the leaves, there's some new growth, and these leaves are a bit pale (one of them is actually white in the centre), and also curling up - they don't seem to go brown, although they do dry up. The leaves are not yellow.
I've been giving them epsom salts for a couple of days, but I'm torn between not watering too much and getting the treatment to them.
I wondered, too, about a zinc deficiency and I know that it affects new leavesas well as older ones, but the leaves at the top of the plants don't seem to be affected. If we hadn't removed some of the lower leaves we wouldn't have new growth at the bottom, and I'd be saying the new growth isn't affected at all.
Can someone help, please? I really want to save these ladies!
Thanks a bunch!
