They are only 22 days old. Just transplanted into 5g buckets of FFOF slightly amended 7 days ago. I have never had to add anything to this mixture until after a month. They are gg4 autos so i usually add some cal-mag and tiger bloom when they pop pistils
Why?
I have to use distilled because my well water runs from 5.2 to 6. And youre right, ive never had to add anything but water for the first month in the final container. Honestly i didnt think the uncleaned pot was responsible but I dont know what else. I clean my growspace regularly, have good airflow and such. I dont think i brought anything in but who knows. I always wash my hands and such before touching them.
What is the EC or PPMs of your well water? Anyone with well water should have it tested, a low PH with a low EC should be fine. It's usually hard water with a high PH that is best to thin out with RO. Sometimes well water has too much iron, best to have it tested and post the results.
Thanks alot. Yeah ive had some really good pot that came from Boone. I just been using the distilled till they get bigger and the mykos is working. I use general hydroponics ph up with my well water afterwards. I had some bad things happen to my seedlings using my water before. Since they dont use much when small distilled works. Ive been adding the compost and manure and stuff and mix it up good before transplanting. Had good luck with it before. I appreciate you taking the time to help.
I have had alot of ph issues with this water. It fluctuates alot. There is ALOT of iron in the water im sure as they used to mine iron ore here. I only use distilled for the first few weeks. My other plants in the same mixture have been fine. This plant started having spots on the 3rd set of leaves. I add epsom salts and lime. The mixture comes out around 6.5 ph which if im not mistaken is same as FFOF. I hope it is a deficency. Then I wont have to worry about contaminating the other. I figure the neem oil spray wont hurt anything just in case. Thanks for responding, i just want to fix this before they get bigger and fixing gets harder. I need to get the water checked, i hadnt thought to have EC checked.
I didnt use google. I watched alot of you tube videos(professor debacco etc. ) looked at lots of pics and read Kyle Kushmans guide. Why cant it be septoria? Ive seen plenty of pot plants with it on there. Kyle even has a section on leaf issues and dude has 10 cannabis cups. It sure looks like septoria but id be delighted to find out its not a pest. Any ideas? I just did a dab too. Did yours help? Thanks for the input. I asked and you all responded. I'm grateful.
My head still hurts
I understand, i have never had any problems like this one either and ive grown alot of plants over my 55 years. Thats why I have been looking everywhere. But I never had spider mites inside either until last grow. And I was careful. Changing clothes ,etc. Before going near my plants. I usually dont ask strangers on forums for help either but I know that if youre going to be able to fix an issue like this, with an autoflower especially, you better fix it fast and before they start flowering, which has been about 30=35 days from sprout on these GG4 autos from (I Love Growing Mutants) Ive never had ANY pest issues indoors until I fkd up and ordered their weak resistance genetics. Ive already got some Mephisto gear for next time. Hey I appreciate you all for taking time to try to help a fellow. I will post some updates here to show what happens. Again many thanks. If its only a 5% chance of septoria then thats great.
Lol. My percent was kind of just a number I threw out. But ya. I don't think septoria is something you are going to need to worry about.
The problems started early in the seedling pot which is happy frog only. It had a lot of spots on the first 5 finger leaves. Its actually gotten no worse,maybe a little better since transplanting into the FFOF. The other plant is doing great. But I dont just throw a bunch of nutes at problems. I have used this mix for 2 years and never had any issues other than the mites last summer and that is obviously my fault somewhere. But no It wasnt my Soil. Thanks for the input. Always appreciated.
We have high iron in our well water as well it works just fine for soil grows.
