Default Help, plants dying with 2-3 weeks to go :~(
Hi All,

Having major problems with my babies & need your help please...

3 weeks to the chop & they may not even last that long...they will be six weeks into flowering this thursday.

I posted on the problems page last week (Over Fert?) & was happy with the suggestion I received.

It started with the fan leaves going yellow with black/brown spots appearing which then turned into black almost burnt sections on the leaves, the leaves would then droop, curl up on themselves & drop off after a while. The yellowing has now spread to the fan leaves which appear just under the buds on most of the branches & the leaves around the centre colas have started to go slightly yellow so I am guessing it is only time till they follow in the same way :~(

My ph is fine & in my opinion (A beginners may I add) I did not over fert?!?

The conclusion from my other thread was that I had a fert salt build up from not flushing which had locked out the nutes, this made sense so I flushed 6 days ago & gave them a 1/2 strength feed but the problem has got worse :~(

I know leaves turn yellow as the plants mature, but it started at week 4 which seems a little early to me?

Any ideas please?

HELP

Looks like you have a K deficency. Thats what cause black spots and rust colored veins on the leaves. What is the NPK of your nutes. The recomended NPK for flower is 10-30-20. The flush was good but if it is not getting enough K it wont fix the problem.

thanks v much bubba...

I'm using hesi bloom which I don't think is that strong?

Maybe 10-8-8 or something like that.

It is recomended for flowering so not sure why it is
so low...

I also have a hesi phos plus which is ment
to be used at week 4 on flowering onwards.

I was using this...I think it is p & k not sure
of the values though.

Should I look at a stronger fert?

Checked the n-p-k values and they are as follows:

Hesi bloom is 4-3-5

Hesi phos plus is 0-8-4...

Both products are used at the same time after
week 4 of flowering...

I am using soil so maybe this is why they are lower
values?

Should I get something with a higher k value?

Thanks

What you have here Muff is simply a case of a plant going into flowering.
Take a breath. She's doing fine.
3 weeks to go, I don't think so. There are so many variables. Who knows how long she's got but let her do her thing.
I checked out the other thread briefly.
As soon as you turn the lights and change the nutes for flowering she will start looking for N, you will start to see weird shit going on from the beginning in hydro let alone 4 weeks in soil.
She looks fine bro.
Let's see more pics of the plant in full not individual leaves as she progresses.
Are the flowers healthy? Bud leaves, stiggy's etc? That's all you need to be interested in.
The leaves, especially the shady's, are going to get used up during flowering.
How they end up on their way is going to be inconsistent.
The NPK breakdown of your ferts' is cool.
Stick with your schedule and keep us posted with updated pics

Thanks Mammath...

I hope your right

I have had yellowing leaves on all my grows
which I have always considered normal...

These look different though, the spots are the
worrying thing...

I will take some better photos tonight and post
