HELP! I changed my water in all my bubble buckets 2 days ago and last night they started to look burnt or at least I thought. Changed all buckets again to just pHd water . Anyone know what is going on . Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is my second grow and my first with 600w hps my light is about 18 inches away bare bulb wing reflector and all my plants are showing some unhealthy signs.... 1 is really starting to yellow badly and all 4 have lots of brown tips and brown/rust colored spots.... I'm only in the 2 week of flower... My first grow was from seed and these were from clones so maybe they are more temperamental..... Any input would be great if I had to guess... Calcium & nitrogen? Anyway I made a thread about 2 weeks ago and was told about maybe a magnesium deficiency... Let me know what ya think..... Thanks

Fox farm soil
600w hps wing reflector
Canopy temps 79-83°
Fix farm tiger bloom and 1 feeding of grow big at half a dose....
Yesterday I watered with distilled water... Also wondering if I should use PH down on my water last grow I didn't and everything was fine... Tap water I let sit out 24-48 hours...

So need your guys help. Am in week 3 of bloom. And leaves are turning yellow curving up. Think it's heat not to sure. Have not over used nutrients feeding w/nutrients once a week. Giving three waters. Per week. Am using a new light at600

My thoughts, Juan.

If symptoms began with yellowing at edge of leaf working its way in followed by brown necrotic spotting and began lower working its way up the plant then i believe that your problem is not enough Magnesium.

If you dont have enough Potassium then the plant will start to over heat causing leafs to get brittle yellow/brown rust edges between veins. Overall plant structure will become weak.

And my last thought is it could be nutrient burn if you get brown crispy upturned leaf tips in primarily the top of the plant.

Hope this helps!

It would help to know what you are feeding and how often. At this period of time in bloom it is crucial to give the plant nutrients with higher phosphorus and potassium as well as calcium and magnesium. all growers should have a bottle with these elements for bloom.

I 100% recommend that you add calcium and magnesium with your water ESPECIALLY if you use distilled water. also, lower that high temp of 83. but you are also burning with too many other nutrients-this is why you have upturned brown crispy edges. The dots are from calcium deficiency probably becasue you used distilled water and didnt add enough calcium back. the yellowing between veins is probably due to not enough iron. and the yellowing down the sides of the leaves are from lack of magnesium.
This is a common problem new growers face.

to fix get a suppliment with calcium, mag, and iron in it and add it to every watering if you will be using distilled/ filtered/ RO water. if you use tap water then add it like 1/2 strength with every watering.
Stop using the grow big when flowers FIRST start to appear.. using grow big AND tiger bloom is probably what burned the tips. i would recomment adding either big bloom or sns 604B(My personal favorite for a tea) as an organic/natural tea to try to get a better quality harvest.

Lastly if your ph is off then you cant expect anything to get better. GOOD LUCK


(Just noticed you said you used tigerbloom at half dose too.. Tigerbloom contains cal/mag/iron.. so maybe you arent using enough of the tiger bloom but youdeff need to drop the grow big. too much nitrogen right now.. do you have any clawed/talon leaves? thats nitrogen toxicity and i would flush the excess N out.

Darn.... Wish I checked your response earlier... This morning I was following fox farm schedule and used tiger bloom 3 teaspoon grow big 1 teaspoon & Sensi cal mag xtra.... Which also contains nitrogen! So hopefully I didn't use too much nitrogen.... I only used the distilled water for the flush but I usually use tap water that I let sit out for a couple of days.... I just finished a successful grow from seed but I'm thinking that these clones are a little bit trickier than growing from seed... I will stop the grow big Now... And hopefully things will get better.... Thank you for all the advise and hopefully my next set of clones don't look as bad.... I don't have big bloom but maybe I should add it to my feedings
