I'd stop the nutes, water with plain water......then the next water add 30ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide (kind you get for boo boo's) And i think the reason it takes so long to drain is the soil. Ya really need to get some perlite in with that stuff otherwise it compacts real bad

good luck!

what about mixing sum sta-green horticultural vermiculite in the soil to help in dry quicker

farmer#1 · Jul 27, 2008

well if you could mix it in that might work but its gonna be hard unless you transplant it again. Not sure how advisable that would be though.
You want the soil to be real nice and airy so the roots don't have to fight to get through.

If you click on the second link in my sig. ask in there. There is a lot of brilliant people in there.

They have been over nuted. Just flush and water once or twice with just water and then if you wanna go with nutes start at 1/4 strength every other water and slowly move up.

I think they are hungry.
That new soil had good nutes in it and made the plant grow. Now the plant used the nutes up so its hungry again.
I would think about giving it a full blast of nutes.
What do ya think?
Is your nutes ya been feeding it have the micro nutes,boron,zinc,etc,ect?

He's already been using nutes i believe. Anything more and they'll fry.
IMO

It really doesn't look like a fungus and i'm pretty sure they are burnt from to mych nutes. Also to much of one can lockout things like Nitrogen.

Any updates as to the progress?

:peace:

mbudman20 · Jul 28, 2008

not much progress really :-|

i mixed in sum of tht horticultural vermiculite into the soil
i pretty much took her out the soil and mixed it in and replanted her
i havent been able today to check her and cant wait till i do but im hopin shes not lookin to bad.
if she dnt look good when i get home them i will go buy new soil and mix and replant her
if shes looking good then when the soil is completly dry ima just water with bottle water..

can i use like a pool ph kits to ph my water and nutes mix before i feed it to my plants..

also where can i get ph up & down

Bling Bling BC · Jul 28, 2008

yo bro in your pics it looks like your light is to close your burning your plant

mbudman20 · Jul 28, 2008

even with cfl can i burn there prob 1" or so aways from her but the top tubes the plant sumtimes touches when it grows at night and it never really burns but idk if its burning them or not but imo i dnt think so cause the lights have been like tht for a long time and the leafs tht are dying are just random leave nothing really consitrated in one spot

thanks for the input.....

If they were not doing well and then ya transplanted into new soil, then they did well for a while and then started doing bad. I would say they are lacking a nute.

blazin waffles · Jul 28, 2008

How did the root ball look?

If they were tiny its a compacting issue i believe. The water is retained longer and won't drain. This doesn't promote the roots to grow and you won't be sucking up the nutes the plant needs.

:peace:

mbudman20 · Jul 28, 2008

well theres lots of roots but from moving ive broken sum
there white for the most part
i dnt know about a root ball cause its more like root strings lol

i think i might just get some fresh new soil and start from there but ive done this once already

i mean how many nutes is to much i give 1/4 amout always so tht i dnt burn

ive got flowering nutes and veg nutes and some epson salt ived foiler feed with epson salt and water and also foiler feed with the bloom nutes before

the first time i fed her after transplanting a gave her 1/4 blood meal 12-0-0 and 1/4 bone meal 1-11-0

mbudman20 · Jul 28, 2008

ya they were pretty tiny there def werent any hard nice roots just like wet soft light white string..lol

what would be a good soil/medium mix to get and transplant to
ive got a nice size pot so ive got room for roots to go just need them to start takin off

few diffrent problems i think
