WTF is this shit?? PLEASE HELP ME (pics inside)

Okay.

I need a doctor.

Planted in a Promix/Perlite blend. Water pHed to 6.5. Using Technaflora BC nutrients' 750-800 ppm. I have no idea what to do. I can't figure out what this is. Fixing the pH hasn't helped at all.

Seriously, what should I do? I'm afraid it's going to keep getting worse and she'll end up dead.
Please help my little Naomi! Sorry I'm baked I just posted without pics.

Gonna take a gander and say nute burn son,
MY reccomendation would be a nice flush and take it easy with them in the future as your plant is still small

I already tried flushing her, it didn't help.

And I'm only feeding nutes at 1/2 strength.

I would guess it is nute burn to start, so flush with lots of water and leave her alone for a while and see if she recovers (something similar happened to me and now my little bettie is doing great again). If that doesn't work you may be infested with bugs or have some deficiencies....

Could be something in your soils or water, but I agree definitely nute burn.

Peace out

how often do you feed nutes? and how long did you wait to see if she would recover?

Isnt 6.5PH a little high?

notlaura · Jul 19, 2011

I feed once, water twice. Feed at 1/2 strength. I waited about a week and there was no change.
I was thinking it was a fungus of some kind? I just can't see it being nute burn.

But I guess I'll try flushing her again tomorrow. Thanks guys.

And everyone on this board keeps telling me different shit about pH. I started out at 7. Someone said it should be 6.7. I lowered it. Someone said it should be higher. I raised it. Someone said it should be 6.0, I lowered it. Someone said that's too low. I raise it. Someone tells me it's way too high. I lower it. Y'all are confusing lol.

My other 2 plants get the same food at the same time, the same water. They're both perfect.

Flush and then start feeding @ 1/4 strength.

dannydakota · Jul 19, 2011

Everybody's saying flush, but you're not watering too often are you?

Biologically Incorrect · Jul 19, 2011

PH level straight from the Growing Bible should be 6.5 to 7

Peace out

It's not your ph and I really don't think its nute burn. Nute burn would be more of a yellow discolored look, which would eventually cause the leaves to shrivel and die. To be honest, I think your undernuting it, especially after having said that you've been feeding it half strength.. What I would do is give them a full dose of an organic nutrient like fox farm grow big. If you overnute them, it wont hurt them as bad because fox farm is organic. Another problem you may be having is light burn. So..
1. What kind of light are you using?
2. How far is it from your plant?
3. What is your temperature?

Dankster4Life · Jul 19, 2011

Your feeding it half strength nutes and watering twice.....and you say you have already "flushed" it.

That word has gotten to be so fookin redundant.

Have you given any thought that it needs some more food?With half strength feedings and then 2 waterings and then the infamous "flush" she could be just wantin to get her grub on.Not knockin ya about flushin,just sayin yanno.

Pics of the whole plant will always get you more help.

Are your other 2 the same strain?

Dankster4Life · Jul 19, 2011

You are fairly safe from 6.2-6.8 with a soilless mix.

Don't chase it.....set it an forget it.

DrFever · Jul 19, 2011

IMO `feed them fckers there lackin phos giving you a false burn look

On my favorite cannabis "how-to" site, GreenMan's Page, there is a free Cannabis Growers Library. There is a place on this site that is specifically for troubleshooting problems with all types of grows. Here is a link to the page. I hope that helps. http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/troubleshooting.html
Good luck. And, remember, this ISN'T friggin' rocket science. It's a WEED!! Have some self confidence and be like "Naomi's" mama. Get a gut feeling and stick with it. NO ONE knows your baby like YOU do!! Have confidence in that.
Cheers!!

I'm using a 400w HPS in a cool tube. Temps stay around 74. It's maybe 2-3 feet away from the canopy.
So.. I got people saying it's nute burn and others telling me to feed more?

And no, the strains aren't the same. This is a Papaya. The other 2 are Blue Mystic and Pineapple Express.

And I realize flushing might have not been a great idea, but at the time everyone said it was burn..

Dankster4Life · Jul 19, 2011

We got ya.

Can you do a pic of the whole plant?

By your statement about the other 2 plants bein fine and are getting the same treatment i think you just have one that wants a little more food.What are you tryin to keep your ph at?
