Yeah i always use PH'd water to water them with how ever i have no way of measuring the PH of the soil. At least i dont think i do. So that could be it? Would it be worth watering her with PH water with weak nutes now? I have canna flush arriving monday/ tuesday i could water them with weak solution then flush her again to try and set everything right and start a fresh?

Hi GigglePimp, sorry to see you've got a problem with Jane. From all the troubleshooting guides and general plant problem websites I've looked at your pics most resemble Potassium deficiency (the odd pic of Magnesium def also looks similar). Hard to see why unless as email says there is lockout for some reason. Could well be soil ph, or any chance she is root-bound? Was her rate of growth normal up until this happened? Just a thought.

GB: Cheers man thats a relief as it had crossed my mind i was looking at some links just now and i thought it could be potassium deficiency but wasnt sure.. I doubt she could be root bound, i mean it wouldnt make much sense as Mary is in the exact same size pot yet she is so much bigger and has so much more to her, wouldnt that mean her root mass should be larger?

I imagine you're right GigglePimp. I thought it was unlikely, just another option. Back to ph again? You can get soil testing kits in garden centers and the like. I got a probe that does the same, but soil needs to be quite wet for it to work. Definitely worth checking asap.

i don't have experience with soil so take other soil growers advice if mine conflicts! I believe you can measure the pH of the run off water in soil.

What i'm trying to say is - not all nutrient deficiencies are caused by the lack of said nutrient but by lock-out for one reason or another.

there is alot of controversy about ph of soil run off. there are good arguments on both sides. i'd read as much as i can about that,

from the limited information ive gleaned, soil run off ph is a factor of sooo many different variables, like the medium, temperature, nutrient and water ph, the size of the root mass, and the used up nutrients/waste products built up in the soil. be careful if you are going to use run off for an indicator.

my to pennies.

hi TGP

what ph do you use to water your plant?
just out of curiosity what is the ph of your run off?

your ph would have to be below 6.0 to lock out the K but it looks more like N deficiency to me (but don't take my word on it)

here is why i think its an N problem
Marijuana Plant Abuse
your plants look like the first Nitrogen deficient plant picture

do you have a ph lock out chart?
hope she does not get any worse

GB: Now that you mention it i remember finding soil testing kits when i was originally looking for my PH meter so im gonna go grab one asap cheers!

Email: Thats a good point, could be worth a try, possibly if i made a solution with the soil mixed in that would also have a estimate to the soil's ph? Anyway i think im gonna be grabbing myself a soil PH kit soon anyway. Cheers for the input once again!

ASF2J: Ah right ok then i dont think i'll use the water run off, that makes sense actually! Thanks mate

Kulan Hunter: Yeah looking at the description of N deficiency it matches up pretty well particularly with the older leaves becoming lighter green/ yellow. I have a PH lockout chart somewhere saved on here i'll find it now. Cheers once again!!!

Everyone: Sorry about the delay in replying to all of your replies, i really appreciate all of the time and support you guys are giving! I had to dash off last night shortly after my last post. Basically i gave her a watering with a weak solution of canna Boost and i also added a bit of PK13/14 (its only seven days until it suggests i add it anyway and im sure i read somewhere that this strain likes it a bit early.). And i must say she looks better today. Unless its my eyes playing tricks on me due to me being hopeful i genuinely think her leaves a darker more healthier green now. I remember comparing her leaves to that of Mary and noticing they were paler, where as now theyre almost matching (Bar the damaged parts and older yellowing leaves).

Im about 80% sure that shes on the mend Her buds havent been affected by this much it seems and the leaves surrounding the buds only started to brown on the tips but hardly any. Shes got crystals forming everywhere some of the smaller buds are all ready covered. The smell seems to be developing each day. I cant explain it today. Never smelt anything like it, again a kind of soft fruity/ berry undertone to it but other than that i cant describe it.

Thanks again for all the help guys i Really appreciate it!

TGP
