Im sorry but I would toss it Not worth the time, would be better to replace and by the look of that plant a new clone would catch up to that size in 1-2 weeks The 1 in the back looks nice and healthy, GJ!

This one I believe was suffering from and zinc lockout due to a constant pH of 6.0 and according to this I found on a different forum:


Zinc deficiencies on some plants will have the Spotting and bleached spots (chlorosis) between the veins first appears on the older leaves first, and then goes on to the immature leaves. It will then start to slowly affect tips of growing points of the plants. When the zinc deficiency happens so suddenly, the spotting can appear to be the same symptoms to that of an iron and manganese, without the seeing the little leaf symptom.
Zinc is not mobile in plants so the symptoms will occur mainly in the newer growths. Having a plant that is deficiency in Zinc can cause small crops, short shoots and have a cluster of small distorted leaves near the tips. Between the veins (Interveinal) yellowing is often combined with overall paleness. Pale or grayish, yellowing between the veins; rosetted weak is the signs of a Zinc deficiency.
With a low level of zinc in your plants, your yields will be dramatically reduced.
Interveinal chlorosis is present in the small, narrow distorted leaves at the ends of really shortened shoots and the shortening between internodes. Leaf margins are often distorted or wrinkled. These nutrients will get locked out due to high pH: Zinc, Iron, and Manganese. These deficiencies will often occur together. Parts affected by a zinc deficiency are young leaves and petioles.

Having an excess of Zinc is very rare, but when it does happen it can cause wilting and in worse cases death.


Problems with Zinc being locked out by PH troubles

High ph, Low organic matter, High Phosphorus levels in the soil, and or lack of nitrogen.



Hydro and Soil less Mediums

Zinc gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 5.7-8.5
Zinc is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 4.0-5.5 (Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Zinc Deficiency.


The symptoms seemed consistent with what Cheese was experiencing, I just hope she will do better now that I have lowered her pH to 5.5. Oh, and as you can see in the photos she has continued to produce numerous 'normal' pot leaves, of which I am very proud.

I "flowerized" my grow room, that is I sealed her up from both light and air. I constructed a tent of poly, black tape,velcro tape and staples from my gun. I cut a hole for passive intake in the side of the 'tent' opposite of the air cooled vent hood and covered it with a swiffer duster wipe. I figure that the wipe is designed to capture tiny dust particles on your furniture so it will catch them as the air is sucked through it.

I rearranged the grow room so that the oscillating fan Is directly infront of the passive intake hole and it is blowing on high on a stationary mode against the wall. Its a small space (60 cubic feet? i multiplied 6 feet wide x 5 feet highx 3 feet deep?) so the air just bounces around in there providing me with great negative pressure and causes the all of the leaves to shake ever so gently.


Here is the most recent photo of all three of my girls. Even though you cant really see any of the updates from the photo I thought it would be nice to see a recent photo of them all together.

I will be traveling for one week at the end of this week so I don't really want to start any new projects until I return. I will just let her
(Sensi Star) be in her H2O2 water for the time being. Plus when I return I will be purchasing O.N.A. and soil moist and FINALLY CONVERTING TO THE 12/12 CYCLE! I can't really have a clone go straight to flower without building some meat on her, and I don't have a second 'veg' room.Things may change when I return though, finances may come through that I can afford to purchase a real grow tent and use that as a 'veg' room.

For the time being I will neglect her and focus my energy on Cheese, who still has a good chance, and Head Band, who is impressing me more and more everyday and then when they are all harvested I will start anew with fresh clones. Next time I want to do ISS, Kali Mist, and OG Kush.

4 your next grow in DWC dont use air stones they suck balls. Get oxegen shield air diffuser they r like 16 bucks a piece but I have been growing now 4 bout a year DWC and I got these air diffusers after using air stones and i did side by side test air stone v Air diffuser. Of coarse air diffuser wins all i have to do is change nutes once a week use adjust ph once with nutes and just through out the week all i do is add 5.3 ph balanced water and no problems your plants will love you 4 it trust me. Check out this link if ya want but that is where it is at oxegen shield air diffusers.

I used airstone and they still kicked ass, just like the smell that comes from you anus uranus.

just wanted to say thanks for the bit of enough on keeping the rockwool covered, been having issues. SO SUPER THANKS TO YOU
