Stunted leaves
gorntstarted grow question 4 years ago
One of my plants is having a hard time - it's technically growing as fast as the others but it's leaves are half the size, slight discolouration and cupping. I suspect Mg, PH or overwatering may be the issue. All variables for each plant are exactly the same.

My first guess is overwatering. If they are too wet, the plant has no reason to develop a strong root system. You need to mimic competition in the wild by forcing them to develop strong root systems. You almost need to dehydrate them.

I agree with 8thChevron. Looks like over watering to me. Let them get to the brink of droop and even a little under watering is better than overwatering as long as you catch it quickly. Overwatering can also lead to pH fluctuations, it promotes anaerobic bacterias (the bad kind) and creates an ideal environment for pests like fungus gnats to reproduce. Good luck and happy growing!

Deficiency and assimetric developmentMy girls seem to have a deficiency, strangely enough, the gal with the most signs of deficiency is doing the best in bud production. Any ideas on what is going on here and what is the cause of the deficiency?

Yellow centre veins fan leavesYellowing of the inner vein of fan leaves only. Also sporadic yellowing and blemishes of whole fan leaves but only some, others fine nice and green. All bud leaves and buds don't appear affected. Is it just that she's nearing the end of her life cycle? Or over water/over nute?2 years ago

What to do? Where am I at now actually? I’m lost and slightly discouragedWhen should I add happy frog fruit and bloom? This is my 3rd grow and im 0-2! I have a overfeeding problem but I’ve learned to be corrective and precise with ph and ppm and be pest preventative as well (heavy handed waterer as well..im trying).

Still to early to tell? Noticed yesterday and have slightly worsened today. Not sure the issue but potentially magnesium? Getting close to top dress also.Only on 1 of 3 plants so far. On older growth after getting dose of Recharge the other day. Maybe an N problem as I also use 484? Or mag? Using CalMag every other watering in RO at 150ppm as the soil has some cal and mag. Also getting close to top dress time maybe something else?2 years ago

Veins turning light green on lower leavesOne of my plants is getting light green veins on the lower leaves. Is this magnesium deficiency? I can't water currently without risking overwatering, can I just foliar spray BioBizz cal mag to temporarily help recovery? Or is this something else entirely?Week 7
