LIVE SOIL. too much nutes or not enough?
flo_420started grow question 4y ago
I think its toooo much nutrients from the live soil, and cold/dry conditions for too long. but someone else said it's lacking nutes?
(I was sick, and they were a bit neglected for a bit.. )
using live soil, like I said

thanks so much for any input 😊

Hey Growmie,
She's certainly not lacking nutes, it seems as if she has nutrient burn, those tips being burnt is an immediate giveaway. The conditions are going to be the blame for that, a low humidity level causes plants to drink more resulting in “nutrient burn”, which gives the leaves tips a yellow or burnt color. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Yep-nute burn. You can up the humidity a bit for a while so she transpires less and sucks up less nutes, and just use straight water for a while too and she will recover just fine. But no more top dressing or nutes for a while ok. let her use up whats there first.

PH drops every 4 daysI'm losing PH control 4-5 days after feed. PPM drops to 200-300 and PH drops under 5. I flush the res and add new solution every 5 days because this is what works to stabilize ph. It can hold ph for 4 days before I lose it again. You think I'm under feeding?Week 7

Soil PH needs to be increased. What do I do?Hey everyone. I've noticed my plants are getting purple stems and not really growing as much as other plants. I checked the soil PH of them and the big plants have a PH of 6.1 and the small ones have a PH of 5.7. What's the best and easiest way to increase my soil PH to 6.5?

Phosphorus deficiency? Week 5 of floweringIs this a phosphorus deficiency? I originally saw orange and brown spots form on other leaves, but now I'm seeing blackish/purple spots. I've been having soil pH issues with this one, so may need a proper flush. Temps have also been low the past few days (60-65 but as low as 56)Week 7

Rusty Leaves3 upper fan leaves have "rusty" brown spots on the upper side. Hard to spot, hard to capture on camera.
I also have slight "clawing" on many of the upper leaves.
Mg/Ca lockout because of nitrogen toxicity possible?
Doesn´t seem to be fungi, as there are no spores to rub off.5y ago

Brown/rust spots and yellow leaves at the bottomPlant in late veg (soil) is showing spreading brown/rust spots on upper leaves and rapid yellowing on lower leaves. Frist only at one plant and now at the others too. I suspect a pH-induced Cal-Mag lockout. But I always check pH to be around 6,5. What should I do?Leaves. Tips - Die
