I'm on my first grow and i've run into some problems with one of my plants the leaves are getting these rusty spots and the tips are starting to curl and they are dry and crispy i dont use any nutes other then food scraps and i water once a day my soil is sponge like so i thought over watering but the stem is hard and i water my other plants the same amount and they seem fine so i have no idea now could someone help? also would adding eggshells for calcium affect this plant in any negative way while it is in this stage

Long-time lurker. First post here.

This thread is by far the best resource to anyone growing cannabis. Uncle Ben excels far beyond others in his cogent yet tactful responses. The dedication to this thread is superb.

My hat is off to you.

Peace

I have violator kush running right now in week 5 of flower I jave 15 plants and the leaves are turning yellow and crispy(fan leaves) some plants are worse than other, the one plant has zero yellow to it and is 1000% healthy. They are all getting fed the exact same.I have grown before and none of my other crops have did this. I tried to lower the ppm but didn't help, my grow room is 77-79° and humidity at 35%. Could it be cause from low humidity?

Its hard to guess what could be happening with these plants...pictures would be helpful. There are a few things that occure with plants that look very similiar to one another but with pictures one can see perhaps the minor differences. Otherwise everyone is just guessing.

The top left plant shows N defiicency at a pretty high level for being that you are only in week 5 of flower. I personally use higher N ratios during flowering. I try to keep the plant as green as possible. The leaves you picked off, intrestingly enough, look like a combination of things related to nutes....not excluding some burn??? But when the leaves curl inwards like that it usually insicates that the plant was trying to disipate water at some point but was unable to. you could have excessive salt build up in the soil and possibly have some lock out issues going on there, however it seems to be somewhat isolated because the overall health of the plants looks, actually pretty pretty good.

Anyone else have something to add??

When you say the leave is disipate do you mean too much water or not enough? And the weird thing is not all the plants leaves are doing this only on like half of them. I have one plant that is unbelievably healthy with super green healthy leaves and I feed them all the same I dont understand.what could I do to bring them back healthy or what should I do to prevent them from getting worse?

Also what I thought was weird is I use general hydroponics expert series, well I bought a liter of rapid start about two months ago and it has a this layer of Mouldy looking stuff but the rapid start still smells the same.. is this normal? Or would this have an effect maybe?

You're using bloom foods I bet.

Why in the hell do I have to ask the same old question, and why do you guys even bother to grow if you don't know what you're doing? "What's the TOTAL NPK values of those combined products?" That whole GH line with all the bottles and all their shit products is just a rip off.

BOOM!!!!!! Don't let the Taliban get a hold of this stuff or we're in trouble fer sure. ;)

Another sucker becomes a victim, and now we have 11 bottles of high priced snake oils recommended at stupid rates and times via another newbie sucker chart. GH needs to take their adjectives and phoney claims and shove it up their drain and waste tube.

Beloved Uncle Ben,

You are doing a great job and people are thanking you even if they won't tell.

I realize am still a kid infront of your knowledge and experience. If I had someone like you in India with me, I would be supplying enough medical marijuana for a state :) (bragging?)

I have been learning things here and there and experimenting, observing and infering my shit if you know what I mean.

Someday I wish I could be like you.
Knowledge is one thing which grows when you share. Like someone said- you really know your shit.

May you have a long and peaceful life ahead. If you ever visit my place, I would give you my finest buds.

I'll be watching you :D

Respect and Peace!

Toker.

Thank you Unc :)

I will tag along the ride. I don't know the good doctor, but went through the blog and website.

I was reading about snake oil and how companies are deceiving people by giving them toxic shit. I wish you guys were in India, I would personally see to it that you will be getting the best bio-fertilizers and liquid manures which is ORGANIC, not LIKE organic which will be made by me ;) There have always been players in the industry to fool the unknowing people, here also.

Since weed is now legal in the U.S, bottled toxic nutes should be binned. Unc, am with you(behind u) in the war against fraudulent jerks. Hope legalization in India will come soon. Sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Peace!

Toker.
