Sadly my Quick One by RQS didn't germinate so I've had to change it up. So now I'm growing Auto Wedding Cake by alibongoseeds as my second grow. I am growing in a 8L fabric pot (for the first time) using Plant Magic Plus Soil. This week is mainly just misting the plant and keeping that humidity up. I don't plant on feeding until week 3 or 4 as I'm sure the soil is enough. 👍

Changed to a 24 hour light cycle as I want to see if it speeds up any vegetative growth. Other than that all I have done is watered and waited.

Nothing but watering when the pot seems light enough. Temps have been reaching 30c this week, so growth might slow down. Day 17: I've added some mycorrhiza with some molasses. Day 19: It was 34c in the tent, she is still growing but I'm not expecting rapid growth due to the stress.

Lots of vertical growth this week. I fed some molasses, worm castings, mycorrhiza and some plant magic grow. Looks like it should be going into flower next week. This week I noticed a yellowing on the tips, I am assuming that this is a ph problem as I am not testing my water. I will be picking up a ph pen later this month so hopefully it doesn't get too bad before I do.

I've noticed a few yellowing tips, I am assuming it to be a ph problem but would like some opinions also. Cheers

Hey ez yes it is a little ph problem but your plant looks great so dont stress over it now. I would pick up a general hydroponics ph control kit rather than a ph pen. The pens can be a real pain to calibrate and are not always reliable. I use the general hydroponics kit. It is easy to read and always reliable. You wont regret it in the end. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Fed on day 30 with some molasses, mycorrhiza and worm castings Did some defoliation of the bigger fan leaves to get more light to the bud sites as it should be flowering next week Some crazy growth this week finishing off the week at 54cm

Pistil have started to show up and pre flowering has begun. I did remove the lowest branches as they would not get enough light. She has now stretched to 85cm Received my new nutrients so I've added some bloom and cal-mag

Got a ph test kit so I've flushed with ph water (6.5) and cal-mag. Later in the week I feed bloom and cal mag and I took off the dying leaves. Looks like the ph issue has affected the whole plant and might take a while to get under control.

Finally stopped stretching this week. I've been removing some of the dying leaves, hopefully the ph problem is fixed now. Ph watered on day 50 and the leaves didn't droop like they previously have when watering. Sprayed with some leaf coat on day 52 Did some defoliation on day 55

Does anyone know what would help fix the leaf issues (browning and yellowing) I had some PH issues originally so I flushed twice with ph water and kept my feeds to a 6.5-7.0 ph but I'm still having problems. Any ideas?

It's looks like a nutes burnt to me. I don't know if your nutrients list is up to date but if so you should reduce the nutrient amount after the flush. I mean you flush to get nutrients excess away so no need to be in a rush to feed after a flush , just half strength would be enough , to give the plants the time to use the nutrient that she's already have in her system and the nuts that remains in the soil ( expect if you're flushing hardly you'll still have some nutes in the soil ). Your ph fluctuation did not helped with the nutrients issue but if you can control it then no need to worry. What I recommend you is to flush... Haha once again and then to feed with half strength OR you can give her just water during the 2 next watering and then start with half strength to slowly increase to the full amount ( if the plant can handle it )

It looks like shes still suffering from what I assume is nute burn, I've tried a third flush this week but with some great white mycorrhiza, molasses, worm castings and some bat guano added to the water. I feel like I am learning more from this grow than I am from my first. Other than that the buds are still progressing and looking pretty good. 👍

You looked good up to week 6 until you started spraying your leaves. week 7 first sign of light burn upper leaves. Stop spraying your plants especially in bloom. never spray with the lights on. Try adding cal/mag into your nute regime week 4 with autos. Cal/mag issues start to show up by week 6 in autos. Cal/mag helps plants deal with stress of high intensity lights. I would try to simplify your nute/supplement line up you have a bit of everything. Low nitrogen med phosphorus high potassium for this stage of bloom. Nothing can be done to fix the leaves at this point.

@Philindicus, Yeah I've only seen a negative response in my plants from adding salts so far, but I didn't stick to any feed schedule so that might be why. As far as I am aware adding in more organics and microbes shouldn't really be an issue because you aren't force feeding the plant.

@EzAutoGrow, once the leaves are dry it's safe to put them under the lights again.

@EzAutoGrow, I see a lot of grower using recharge and got great results. I believe it contains beneficial microbes as well as humic acid,aminos acids so it sounds more like it acts as a fertlizer. My base nutrients already have humic,fulvic aminos in them supposedly.Since I'm primarily growing auto flower I havent really even used half strength nutes on them. I think some strains can handle more than others it's just a matter of reading the plants needs. I agree everything we add helps. Just seems like a lot of products have some kind of gimmick. Trying to find viable microbes for enhancing your grow is the biggest issue they need to be fresh and stored and shipped properly.Just another expensive hobby of mine but I'm really enjoying GD.

I'm by far the last person to give advice as this is my 1st diary ,but isnt the plant supposed to do this as it ends its life cycle? And aren't you 2 weeks from that or so? Just asking do I know

EzAutoGrowcommented6 years ago
@Chillpill123, Yeah ideally it shouldn't happen at all, but I think my issue is nute burn.

I would flush heavily ph6.5 , so you get a decent run off. Then just water for a week or two until you see her bounce back. Happy growing and much less feeding next time!

Hope that answers your question. Feel free to let me know if you have any more concerns.
