SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!! Smmfh.. I really fd up

CincityFinesse · Jan 27, 2021

FFOF 50% perlite
Temp 74 humid. 45-50%
20/4 schedule/ 12in from plant
Ac infinity inline
3x3x6
3g fabric pots

GSC x Orange sherbet x lemon pie x Zkittles

So one day I didn’t do any measurements and I believe I added too much liquid seaweed and cal mag to very shitty un-ph’d tap water and by the next day my plants went from green to yellow and have brown spots all over them.

Zkittles got too tall so I had to bend it down, slower to flower than the rest.

The bud looks and smells really good tho... Tf should I do?? My babies are getting worse and worse every day, well the leaves. Buds are super frosty and growing well.

Being a novice this is just my 2 cents. I would start off by flushing with some ph'd water and then I would give it some half strength Cal Mag.

Flush it a few times with weak nute pH water. It will perk up but get rid of that stuff in the grow media.

Them perking up isn’t the problem, it’s the leaves dying and getting crunchy brown. Zkittles (the one that is bent down) is the only one that isn’t perking up. Is there anything I can do to stop the leaves from getting progressively brown and crunchy or is it a wrap ha? This is my first grow n it was goin kinda good until I did this dumb shit.

Should I pull off any of the leaves to expose more lower buds?

I left the the dying leaves in grow media bc I thought it would be good for soil. Your saying I should clean that all out?

insomnia65 · Jan 27, 2021

Leave the leaves, there is nothing you can do for them really, just leave them, over doing stuff is over kill,leaves as mulch is okay, I wouldn't over think it, the priority at the moment is getting rid of that crap in the grow media, new stuff will grow just be patient.

insomnia65 · Jan 27, 2021

The plant will be fine if you leave it alone, all you can do is get rid of that crap, the plant will be okay.

Thanks bro. I was thinking they were literally going to die. But I saw the buds continue to grow daily and get frostier so I figured they would be ok. But seeing that brown shit overtake all the leaves is very disheartening. Thanks for advice.

All clean

Thanks for clearing that up better bro!

Your plants seems to be suffering from a Sulfur deficiency due to lockout from adding all that calcium in the CalMag. Always feed a solution that is measured in nutrients amount and pHed.

”Leaf stems, petioles, turn purple."

”Most common when pH is too high or when excessive calcium is present and available."

That seems to be exactly what’s goin on. I really appreciate the help!! So I’m going to add Epsom salts and do u have a recommendation for the sulfur? And how exactly should I flush? I just watered two nights ago and plan on flushing today.

No reason to keep adding more nutrients to your plant. I'm not sure what medium you are growing in but if it's soil others might be more help, but looks like a they should be flushed with a low EC/ppm nutrient solution that is pHed.

Yeah it’s FFOF soil with perlite. Thanks bro!

Cold can be a factor too.

I don’t think it gets cold enough in my tent to cause problems, it never gets below 68f.

It's rather difficult to properly flush a medium that is saturated already....I had this problem recently as far as plants going from green to yellow hella quick.....so to properly flush, u want at least the volume of ur container to come out the bottom as runoff....so like, if u have a 1 gal, u want at least a gallon of water as runoff...which is different than saying just flush with a gallon of water. My plants bounced back, it took a few days and I didn't feed them again for like 3 days, and the color is coming back nicely. You'll be alrite. Depending on how far along u are u might be close enuf that after the flush, u don't have to feed again s. Good luck

Good lookin out bro! How exactly did u catch the runoff? I’m at day 49 from seed.

He dumped an unmeasured amount of CalMag in his feed. It has nothing to do with the cold.

Where did you find your chart? Thanks

Easy way to water and not worry about the runoff: The NX Risers I bought fit perfectly in the opening of a 5 gallon bucket. If you want something easily available, take a cookie cooling rack and place about the bucket. All the runoff will go down directly in the bucket.
