Welcome... welcome all! I have here two beautiful mid aged ladies that need some immediate help from someone with a bit more knowledge than myself.
Here we are, about to be the end of week 3 flower (end of week 3 will be 8/24/14), and I have some potentially serious issues here!
First off, started these both off is fox farms happy frog/ ocean forest 50/50. added about a fifth the overall amount perlite and that WAS the medium for both. The healthy one remains in pure soil. The unhealthier one I transplanted today, removing gravel from the bottom of the pot (its causing some problems so i removed it), and put the plant into a passive hydro setup. The bottom reservoir of the container is pure perlite. I am hoping the soils runoff will nute the reservoir, i will feed as needed.
I am pretty sure they have a potash deficiency (purple stems)
I have fed these plants 4 times in their entire life cycle.
I use CFLs, and they are about 8 inches from the plant. im not moving them unless necessary, the other one is doing fine. and this damage originated in their original environment which was a small cardboard box, poor ventilation.
This plant here is the worst of the two (physically); showing signs of what I believe is a combination of heat stress from its previous environment (too close to cfl's), and the gravel I had in the bottom of my container. I looked through my previous grow and I even warned myself not to do that because last time it did the same thing. Last time I wasnt as concerned with PH. And it showed. COMPLETELY forgot about the gravel.
Today; I pulled her out her old pot, made a hempy setup (pure perlite reservoir) and put her in. Added lots of vermiculite to the soil to fill the sides. Soil is Fox Farms Ocean Forest mixed with perlite.
I was hoping the runoff from this soil would keep the reservoir right. When I see signs if defic... I'll nute. I ordered some lighter nutes (general hydroponics) because I want to try a hempy for my seedlings...
Back to the two problems at hand. As you can see, these leaves are "taco-ing, canoe-ing etc..". It is NOT broad mites. I have only fed these girls 4 times to date in the entire grow. Here are somemore pictures. There are 2. One has the tacoed leaves and the other is healthy besides the rusty protrusions pictured below. Any ides what this is and or how to fix it?
Tacod plant
Healthy plant, See the spots? Just on this cola. *Does that term work there?
Not just BAD shots.... look at that node spacing (;
unhealthy girl :maaaaaaaan
Happy plant with bad cola... Shes purty. See the bad top there in the bottom left of the pic?
up close of the bad top.
Any advice/ questions or comments are appreciated! I am kinda new at this, and LOVE to learn! I'm constantly reading / studying on this subject and am more than eager to learn!
