noob here

I have tried using 1 tsp Epsom salts to a gal of filtered water.
Sprayed plant with the salt water, then root drenched. The pics are from yesterday.

These plants are 6 weeks old and been outside 3.5+ weeks and this happens to more than one plant. Did I forget something?


Soil make up
Top layer of soil 12 inches or more
is compost,
dolomite lime
kelp
fish meal
humic acid
glacial rock dust
bone meal.


Any ideas

EDIT: Genetics: ( Afghani x Black Domina) x (Skunk )

I would say keep spraying them, maybe do phed water then with epsom salts... But if you just watered, i would give it a couple more rounds of water and see how she responds to your first round of salt.

Looks like a temperature issue to me, is the soil cold? If the spot in full sun during the day but chilly at night the large temp swing is another possible cause.

Maybe this strain has problems, I have couple more plants of different strain and they look fine though.
I'll just watch them, maybe start a couple more seeds. If the plants don't get better will have to plant them in fabric pots.
thank you

The plants still having problems. What to try next if anything?
For some reason RIU is timing out for my pic to upload.
Still look the same, used 1 tsp epsom salt to 1/2 gal filtered water per plant.
Watered them yesterday.

Here's a noob thought, Could it be that the area was limed too much? Took a soil ph test and it was 7. My water is at 7 as well.

UPDATE: Today I ran about 5 gallons of clean water each plant.
To leach away any excessive salts.
The soil has excellent drainage.

thank you for your help everbody

UPDATE: Ran another 5 gal water to each plant. Now wait and see, until the soil dries out some.
EDIT: they are still growing through all of this.

You seem to have an organic set up so I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with flushing? Why would there be excessive salts? If there are excessive salts, they would be sucking your bottom leaves dry. I hope you explore the pest angle.

Well I dumped on the epsom salts on them, that all.
Yes, exploring angles, just trying one thing just to see if it helps.

Hi,
I'm going to spray neem on them weather permitting.
