Have a couple things going on. Nitrogen deficiency at first but as the pictures show of progression. looks like you tried to correct the problem with too much fertilizer which shows nutrient burn to the ends and periphery of the fan leaves. Also looks like your light source maybe a little to close to your canopy but sometimes a toxicity may give that impression as well. My suggestion is to leech your plant with 2-3 volumes of water that your container can hold and then feed with 1/4 strength of your nutrient program. And keep your fingers crossed. Good looking plant in its early stages.

Hey DrKran,
What kind of water are you useing? you might need to add some CalMag. That kind of looks like you are useing distilled water or R/O water.

Hi, I am actually using Tap Water. :-|

Thanks, I'm going to try the Leech tomorrow morning. The weird thing is that the other two plants are perfect.

I did the Soil Flush this morning. Outside the grow room I took some pics from all sides.

After the Soil Flush I added very low N amount. Lest hope she gets better in about a week.

Thanks.

Its hard to be patient but it can take up to five days or longer to see a complete cure to your problem. I hope it all works well especially to a generally great looking plant.

Here she is August 12: She is doing a bit better.

when in doubt, flush it out. as mentioned, it looks like a magnesium deficiency. one teaspoon of epsom salt in a gallon of water, once a week. are you ph'ing your feedings/watering?

Looks like it will be fine. No worries....ready for P and K.

All that cali said.... I'd water that about 2X a week no more... as for tap water , just let it sit for 24-48 hrs. to evaporate off the chlorine...
Nice plant... luck...+rep

I had the same problem when my soil ph was off causing a def. Check your soil ph and make sure it is between 6.2 and 6.8. This may not be it but if it is then leeching the soil only helps for a day or two and then will continue from the bottom up.

Hey DrKran nice recovery....you have some beautiful plants... well done :clap:

DrKran · Aug 14, 2008

Thanks so much for all the input. She is doing much better now in a short time. You can follow the rest of the grow on my grow Journal.
