I'm running my plants in a 4x4 pot under a 750 w. Temps stay around 70-75. The strain is xj13 and its the only one out of four strains that looks like this.





* Here's the bonus pic of Alex Smith after being demoted:

Hmmm. From what I see in the Photo, I would say that Space Aliens came down and rubbed theri nut sacks on your plants and gave them intergalactic herpies. But this is just my guess. More information is needed to give a educated opinion. :)

yes...the nitrogen claw has begun...i would flush her, and then cut back on the N your feeding her...and dangley...what you think about the first pic, and the contorted leaves? possible PH issue?

Thanks for the input dont think its space aliens though I sprayed for them last week. After the last feeding I popped in a tri meter the ppms were at 1460 so I think I'm good there but the ph was a low 5.6 do I guess I need some ph down. I'm growing in coco four with perlite being the only ammendment. There's 4 plants of 4 different strains in the planter box but the xjs the only strain thats been acting adversely.

I grow in nothing but COCO. a PH of 5.6 is about Perfect. 1460 PPM is way to high for a lot of strains. You are growing 4 different strains while feeding them all the same amounts of nutrients. I have found that to be very difficult at times. About 5 crops ago I was growing two strains at the same time. One strain was drinking down huge amounts of nutrients and loving it, while the second strain would almost start to burn when I just showed it the bottle of nutrients. I ended up having the mix two different batches of nutrients.

On a side not. I have not used a PPM pen in years. But I still know that 1460 PPM is a large amount of nutrients for any strain. I would cut the amount of nuts you are giving them in half. And keep that PH at 5.6-5.8. Check the run off about once a week also. Hope you are allowing 20-25% run off to help remove the old salts from the coco.

I'm running two 4 x 4 geo pots that run off into a single 100 gallon res. Everyone I know is running around 1500 - 1600ppm so I thought I was good. I'm running one tray of cherry pie and one tray with "the white", xj13, kushberry, and john lennon.

I'm wondering what strain john lennon is by the way, I know its some sort of indica but not sure what the lineage is. Thanks to everyone who responded, I'm definitely going to start keeping my feedings under 1000 long from now on...

P.s. ill post pics soon.

agree with above, i grow xj, that too much nutes, and its likely your ph is starting to sink too... give her a watering with just water
