Hi guys

Well this is the problem i'm having!!
The p.h is fine, the temps are fine and i've not been nuteing her so i'm lost as to what might be causing it!!!!:-?
I've attatched some pic's because it beats trying to explain it.

The Strain is blue cheese and the medium is a soil mix i've used for a while now without any problems any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers guys

how old is she and in what stage? If your in the middle of flowering her than this is pretty much normal.....Its a nitrogen defficiency either way but if your in flower, thats normal.....

Sorry mate, she's in veg about 4wks but for the first 2 she was under cfls, but now shes under a 600w hps.
So i thought maybe she might have had a tough time with the change?

I'm worried as i've got a few more strains that i'm germing now all of which i've never grown before!!! so a don't want this happening to the rest!!

What nutes would you recommend? I'm a organic grower so really i need to stay away from the chems.
Thanks for the quick reply dude
And heres the strains i'm germing

no prob.....check out botanicare, they sell great organic nutes....go with something high in nitrogen.... thats what im leaning toward man.......you can also try peroxide mixed in your water when you water them or even coffee grinds, they are a super source for nitrogen....im only suggesting these since your growing organic.. just some ideas....I would try to get some more opinions on this first because i am by far not an expert.........

When was the last time you gave nutes? Still could be nute burn as nute burns in soil usually manifest several days later.

It's true that the lower leaves do eventually turn, dry up and fall off. But, your plant looks hungry. It is past the point where it needs food. If your soil has no fertilizer in it you should start adding 1/4 strength nutes when the plant shows its 3rd or 4th set of leaves. Which is usually after about a week or two.

Also, (in response to post #5) Nitrogen is represented by the FIRST number on the bottle. That is why they call it the NPK value (Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium). AND peroxide is the most inorganic substance a person can put on their plants. It will literally kill every bit of organic matter in his root zone. Why would you even think of recommending peroxide to a grower who explicitly states he is organic? Typical RIU...

Might want to be on the lookout for thrips also. They tend to attack the points on the leaves that are showing damage. Are there any shiny spots on any of the leaves?

I've checked for thrips and there's no shiny spots just yellowing and crispy lower leaves.

I think THseaman has given the advice i need but thanks to everyone for their input.

I'll post some more pics once i've started nuteing her hopefully the problem should start resolving it's self.?.?

Thanks guys

You know what, your right about the npk, my bad... I was really baked when I posted....I specifically told him to get OTHER OPINIONS, not to take mine because Im not an expert by far.....I just brought up peroxide, I didnt tell him to use it.....did I not tell him they needed fed?? but I do stand corrected about the npk values....
