Hi All,
Appreciate some help from my fellow growers!
I have some yellowing of lower leaves and some yellow and browny spots appearing both in the centre and at the edges of the leaves. Accompanying this is the central 'vein' of the leaf going a light yellow/white colour - which is kinda what throws me, as Nitrogen deficiency and others talk about dark green veins.. also why are the spots yellow and brown but in the centre of the leaves mainly (certainly not outside in at any rate) and only on the bottom fan leaves or lowest ones and not on top or all over?
I have also had occasional drooping of lower leaves sometimes - which I have taken to be needing water - and which have pretty much gone away once the plant is watered..
Plants have been generally healthy so far and quick growers more or less.. but circumstances force me to set them to early flowering (one week in now), where I move them indoors to a dark space for 12-13 hours every day.
It is affecting one plant mainly, the second one a little and the third one hardly at all - but there are some signs.
It seems too early to be the natural Nitrogen deficiency of flowering (only one week into light cycle change) so I am slightly confused about what it is..
It looks a little like several things: Nitrogen deficiency, Magnesium deficiency or even Manganese deficiency.. also could it be a bit of under or over feeding? Is it a bit of Nute lockout?
Or is it a combination of problems? Bugs and nutrients?
Here are some pics, and I'd appreciate any considered responses as I'm kinda scratching my head here..
Thanks for your help!!!
Details of plants :
SOIL
How long has this problem been going on? 2 weeks
What STRAIN are you growing? Swiss Bliss
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?) Seed
What is the age of your plants? 11 weeks
How long have they been in the soil mixture they are in now? 10 weeks
How Tall are the plants? about 2 feet
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in? Early flowering started 1 week ago
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc) Soil - 8" pots
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?) Standard gardening centre general purpose potting compost/potting mix.
What Nutrient's are you using? Maxi Crop Extract of seaweed plus - all purpose garden food (5-5-5)
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? About a capful in 6 litres of water
How often are you feeding? once a week
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used? Umm not sure
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? Not sure, soil pH (measured about 10cm down) is around 7.0
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen? I have a cheap soil testing kit
How often are you watering? normally twice a week but occasional wilting of lower leaves in warm weather means I top it up every few days..
When was your last feeding and how often are you feeding? Last feeding was about 4-5 days ago
