Is this Nute burn, ph prob, or heat stress. pics

Please see pics. I need expert opinion. The buds are looking hella sweet, and overall growth is good, but I have some yellowing on some of the leaf edges, and ocassional spot on the leaf

My temps 85-89 average ocassional 90- and eh a lil 91

I haven't tested ph, leached soil.

It's 31" high off the top of the pot. the pot is about 12x12x10.

I water once in the morning and once a little before lights out.

I am fertilizing with a light dose of Tiger Bloom, accompanied by 2 teaspoons of epsom salts, and one drop of super thrive per Gallon.

I was using worm tea once a week, but have not for a couple weeks.

Early on in the plants life it had allot more yellowing, but it came around and became my only female. I may be overlooking something so any ideas would be apreciated!!:weed:







The nice pic...Yum






Sorry if I blab to much just want to be detailed. :fire:Thanx in advance!

Hard to tell from the picture! Your temps are too high so it coud be heat stress? 84 degrees is max for temps. Watering twice a day is a lot. Pot like the soil to dry a little so that could be a problem.My guess is the heat! The first thing I would do is flush! Check the ppm of the runoff and see if its nute burn. Then go from there. Good Luck!

Thanks for the fast replies.

Yeah,

Flushing sounds like a good idea, I just need to read up on the procedure again.

I water twice a day because, the plant has pretty much grown into its container, so I thought it would dry faster, and maybe underwatered. I don't want to transplant because I read thats bad 0n a 12/12. I also am using tap water. Hope its not that bad!

Should I still cut the water back?

I also don't have a ventalation system in there. I have ran the central air AC, but it gets way expensive. I don't want to pay more then the bud is worth. ya know?

They do say some strains can handle the heat, but you guys are probably right that it's too high. My Buds look awesome though.

Whattaya think Guys?

OK Things are cooling down now to about the 80-84 degrees range. I flushed my soil with tap water for a few days. I'm going to get some reverse osmosis water and start flushing weekly. However, I still need to get a PH tester, and wonder if the reverse osmosis water will be to low in PH. I'll let every one know if I see a change in the yellowing of the leaves. I did notice that even though I have been flushing water, that some of the bud leaf tips are starting to yelllow or brown a little, like a nute burn. I'm wondering if the plants hormones are getting depleted by the quick bud growth??

Wait! A nute burn flush is not like a pre-harvest flush.

For a nute burn you want to flow 3x the pot size of water through all at once. Not over a few days. (don't dump it in, but keep a steady flow)

Flushing with RO water might be a waste. The last gallon would be cool. You are trying to clean the soil. So it shouldn't matter what you run through it since its not staying behind. Hence using the RO for the last gallon.
You also shouldn't have to flush weekly, unless you are killing your plants with nutes.

There are a few nute leaches magic sauces out there.

You do need a pH meter. I think all should get one before seeds or lights.

Brown leaves/tips won't turn back to green. Just keep an eye on the green parts and that they stay green.

Fan leaves will turn yellow late in flowering, but they generally change all over, not from the tips. (aka: get lighter and lighter like N dif)

Thanks Big Bud Balls LOL

I will take your advise. Although since I gave the plants straight water for 3 days I will see how things go before doing a super nute flush. So far the leaves look better. I don't belive I'm using to much Nutes. I am using Tiger Bloom at the daily feeding level of 2-3 teaspoons per gallon. I haven't been letting the tap water sit for 24 hours though to rid the Flouride or Chlorine I forget which one both maybe.

My big fan leaves at the bottom are in fact turning yellowish.
I think like you said as well I really need a PH meter, so I will get one.
I'll post results asap.

Thanks Alot everyone for the help. I wish I could send you guys samples when the harvest is done!! bongsmilie
