hello I am currently growing 50 plants in 2 tubs that are 18"x44" and about 8" deep the seedlings are ruffly 8" tall give or take I have them under a 1000 watt hps that has been 20" from the canopy my soil was at 5ph so I added some dolomite lime PELLETS and it came up to about 6.75 I am using alaska bloom 0-10-10 (they are in bud cycle and have been for 7 days as of today) I am starting to get some wilting so I raised my light 4" today which may very well fix the problem if it was sucking the moisture out of the foliage that is I also think they look way to limey in color so I am hoping that is an iron deficiency will expirement with that tommorow in a controlled fashion I wont have any pics up until tommorow but do any of you guys think you could give me an educated guess on the issues I am having
slight color problem
- Thread starter lono
- Start date
ok well rust water didnt darken them up raising the light seemed to perk them up quite a bit but like I said still a bit limey in color on the new growth my next treatment I think should be sulphur but I dont realy know if that is the culprit here but like any thing else its not rocket science if no one can help I am quite certain I will figure it out but the growth rate will suffer in the mean time so time is of the essence being they are in bud any input would be help full if not thanks any way
I have added epsom salt to my water I under watered to make sure they werent getting too much of some bullshit they werent asking for hopefully they will respond well to the sulphur 1/2 tsp per gallon but like I said only moistened the soil I wish some of you would give me some ideas if this doesnt work I am out of them maybe I am in the wrong place in this site to be asking for help if that is the case than please let me know people new to the posting thread stuff also I dont know how to put pics on here
thirty viewers and no responses I know their are no pics as of yet but no one will even help me with that am I in the wrong thread or is their just no one yet that has the xp to help ne ways thanks for your time in viewing maybe I can teach you something thru my trials and tribulations
well their are two plants that havent showed any signs of getting better but in fact look worse than before so I will probably pull them if I dont see a possitive change by tonight one is begining to show sex its day 11 since the light cycle was switched and I think it will be a male small pod forming no hairs portruding

Yea pics will help tons man. Just describing it is not good enough because we are making pics in our head of what your plants look like and may diagnose your plants incorrectly leaving your months worth of work dead. But yea pics would be good haha 
ok well in pic one you can at least see dark veins light tissue under curled leaves but keep in mind I trouble shooted the fuck out of these things and tried to treat them for several things in a very short amount of time like I said I flushed them yesterday so from scratch tomorrow
I have found two males today its day ten still no females but I think tomorrow I should find one at least i hope i do ok in pic three I think its important to point out that the troubled tub is the one on the left the one on the right is where I am finding the males cant wait to hear from you guys thanks for the interest and the help

Well.... like you said - could be lots of different nut deficiencies - or it might just be overall nut deprivation, which would be my guess... lots of plants fighting for water and uneven watering could give some of the food deprivation..
Why did you grow all those plants in just 2 big containers?
Why did you grow all those plants in just 2 big containers?
I have alot more in two other containers I had them outside at my propertry but they started thinning ranks in the meantime I had a 1000 watt hps so money was tight and I could only afford x amount of dirt fert a fan timer ph meter but none for pots hence the tub grow so you think I should hit them with full strength nutes it really suck because you cant realy see much in the pics
well the past two days these things have really filled out still no females will post a new pic sometime today thanks for all the help just reading the other threads has really helped me one obvious fact that had escaped me earlier most of the plants are fine and because they are all in one tub if I treat symptoms for two plants in reality I am treating all the others as well so my end result was stress 20 to fix 2 and get a very weak yield or continue taking care of my twenty and see what happens with the two hopefully they recover but it seems they are getting worse
