Hey all

Some of the specs:
Soil 4 gal Fox farm 60% / perlite 40 %
Fastbuds LSD-25 autos
Day 43 from seed
Temps 75 dark / 85-90 lights
rH 55-70
Feed (twice so far Megacrop)
4x4x7 tent
600 watt hps (vented outside)

I swear i'll never keep a plant green to its end. Anyway, been strugging with high heat since beginning of grow, and probably a couple weeks of too much direct fan and not enough light (overused mh bulb) at start. Finally got a portable AC for a tent (new for this grow) and now have temps stable as of this past weekend.. running between 78-82 with AC.

Have had some minor issues but no real problems until two days ago. Overnight the problem seemed to show up with some discoloration on veins of newer leaves. Then next day brown spots between veins with some leaf deterioration. But the entire plants are affected, not just new growth. Two of three plants are affected with one further along. When i noticed problem it was time to water anyway. Per instruct from a guy over at greenleaf i fed 1 gal mixed with 1 ounce of concentrated Megacrop ph'd (from a 200 gram granular mix). That was yesterday, so I will give a couple days and see if any response.

But with 3 weeks left of flowering and time running out.. should i opt for another fix? Flush and water only and just see what i get? I read Foxfarm is supposed to run hot and some Autos dont require heavy nutes so i held back on any real feeding. This is first time using FF and first time using Megacrop product.

At 6 weeks it sucks to see this lovely plant go to shit....

Thanks

There's a big Mega crop thread on this forum I would go there and ask my questions if I were you, they love to talk about Mega crop and I'm sure you can get some great info there good luck!

You can keep the leaves green by starting flowering nutes (with N) before flipping and dont use bud enhancers until the last 2 weeks.

I've got Mega crop too recently but I'm not using it because the directions suck and greenleaf don't seem to want to clarify them but you don't use an ounce per gallon (it's something around 4 grams/gal from what I've glean from the Greenleaf thread?).​

I was fortunate to get one of Megacrops 200 gram dry bags for free from their site but when it arrived it had moisture inside bag. A Greanleaf rep apologized and said to mix all 200 grams ia gallon of water and use it as a concentrate. He said to top out at 3 oz of concentrate per gal of water feed ratio. I thought that might be too high and started at 0.5 oz and now up to 1.5 with one my plants, which is doing really well. She's been the underperformer of the three but now has the best plant / budding structure and by far the healthiest.

As for the other two - I flushed one and fed a dry bloom feed to the other (gh maxibloom) and the flushed plant continued to deteriorate. The other plant, while not perfect, the browning and any die off stopped and she is still packing some wait, so.. see what happens.

Thanks for checking

Oic..! Yeah I was like damn you know what I mean but I guess that's different, got to get a PPM meter tho, about 10 bucks, will really help you out, good luck!

Since this is soil would i use the ppm meter on the concentrate/water mix, the concentrate itself or something else entirely? I know you hydro guys test your reservoirs and such but ive never paid much mind to ppm for my soil grows.

the mega crop is a pretty well rounded veg mix... and it could be used in soil grows for bloom

its heavy in N

im wondering if at least one issue is magnesium def.... id look at adding 1 tsp Epsom salt per gallon for 1 watering and then dropping to 1/2 tsp every other

Id also consider insects... I seem to be saying the same thing in several posts but.. it is that time of year!!

the malformed leaf edges and curl and twist isn't explained by anything regarding your soil or nutes

You would basically use it so you didn't accidentally fry anything! :hump:I would recommend one asap, they're very affordable

I mean you got lucky and mixed it correctly but what if you missed, or misunderstood the directions? ..or what if you want to make it stronger at some point, or at a bloom booster ?

you're going to need to know the strength eventually it's going to make your growing skills better right away
