1 week into Flowering and some problems

espresso2go · Apr 17, 2009

Hey guys, I'm rather new to the whole thing and a bit worried about the Health of my 4 babies.

1: The lower Leaves are dying from the bottom up and it started rather early (after a month the embrionic Leaves were dead)

2: The Stems are beginning to droop at the top if i dont water daily. After that they rise up again but remain wobbly. Pretty much every book i read reccomended watering every 3 days.

any Ideas?

I upload Pics as soon as I figure out how it's done :weed:

sounds to me like the plant may be root bound, have you transplanted at all during the grow?

you don't give much info. how old are they? what's your medium? are you feeding them? etc. the cotyledons don't last long.
how often you water depends on a couple things. the size of your plant, versus the size of your containers. lighting, temps. etc. all play a role in watering.

ok here we go,

The light is 400w HPS.
There are 4 plants exhibiting the same symptoms.They are roughly 3 Months old.

They are all in Soil, get fed every week with NPK 4-6-3, The temperature is in a norml range about 28C.

The Containers are unfortunatly all different in size and none of the 4 have ever been Transplated. Pictures are on the way^^

please help kiss-ass

3 months old and your only in the first week of flower? They should be huge by now.

espresso2go · Apr 18, 2009

Yeah i know^^ Its my first grow so i hardly know what I'm doing. There about 60 cm now.

Pics are up

I really appriciate your input^^
keep it coming...plskiss-ass

your roots are probably bound up if you have yellowing that starts lower and works up... the constant watering of them could indicate that as well... but if you supply water and nutes when they need it a new container really isnt needed... they might need a transplant but during flowering might be a bad idea so you might just have to water water water. that would be my guess, but i dont know lol i have a problem with my plant too

no its not that, your only feeding them once a week? they are starving, i feed myne everyday and they are looking dank

in soil, feed once a week. what strength are you feeding? in-between feeding, if they dry up, just water with properly ph'd (6.5) water. next time, fill the containers up a bit more with medium. i don't see much of a problem really. those lower leaves will naturally die off. i do see a bit of tip burn, which means you can back off just a bit on the nutes. you don't really need to x-plant, unless you want to. root growth will stop at about 3 weeks into flower, so keep that in mind....

Thanks for the quick response.

my Nutes are Bio-Bloom N 2%, P 6%, K 3,5%
2-5ml per Liter water

On the Bottle it says Use with every watering which confuses me a bit to be honest. Last time I did that with another fertilizer I think one of them got a little too much nitrogen. The leaves still look curled and burned.

An other thing, now that pics are up, Is the Light enough or do I need to get that reflection foile thing or whatever it's called?

I'm gonna keep a close eye on them for now and pray they dont die before Harvest^^

and regarding the Containers,
it's not such a good idea starting to grow while being high :shock:

Have a good one :joint:

manufacturers are famous for suggesting higher than needed ppm's. this way you can use it up quickly and go buy more. keep an eye on the tips of the leaves. if you see the tips browning, back off on the nutes a touch, and you should be good. once a leaf get brown/crispy, you can cut it off, it won't be back. (the one's with tip burn are good though.) always good to have something around the grow spae to reflect the light back into your girls. no sense in letting it spill all over the room. every little bit of light you can get on them is a good thing. (astro-foil is great stuff!) LOL, i hear ya on the being high thing. even worse if your mixing up a fresh rez and forget how much you added already. been there, done that!!!

Just tested the Ph of my soil which seems to be okay but my tapwater is ph 8. Can I expect trouble down the line if i continue watering with that? Did it from the very beginning and up until now it seemed to work^^

Silky Shagsalot · Apr 18, 2009

if it's working, don't make any major changes. if the ph becomes a problem, the leaves will let you know.
