What's causing these spots and wilting? How do I get her healty again?
DragonlordFreyastarted grow question 3y ago
What could cause my plant to start wilting and have yellow spots like this? I tried looking up the various causes but can't put my finger on what it needs (water, nutrients, etc).
I have been feeding according to the Fox Farms Schedule. Light is now at 100%, about 2 feet above.

I hate Fox Farm. A lot of people like it but since I only grow autos, I will shout it to the hills: I HATE FOX FARM. M0use is absolutely correct in her assessment here.. and Nugsery is daft... the EC on my autos NEVER gets above 1.2 or 1.3... and that's in very late flower when I'm pumping a lot of PK into them. Read through all of m0use's answers, he's nailed it....

Looks like your main problem is over watering. Get a Moisture meter if your struggling to figure out when they need watering. They cost about £5.

High DragonlordFreya,
Your main problem here is overwatering. Let the top 2-3 cm soil dry out completely between waterings. And do not give more then 5% from the pot volume each watering.
The second problem are nutrient lockouts. This could have 2 reasons. Reason number 1 is pH not in the right range. Keep the pH from your nutrient solution between 6.2 and 6.3 It will go up a little when the plant processed the nutrients so the soil will stay around 6.5
And the second reason is EC not stable and/or too high. Week 4 can give EC 1.4 /Week 5 can keep EC 1.5 And from week 6 till flushing before harvest (2 weeks before she is ready) EC 1.6 Will do the trick.
Enjoy your grow!

Spots and yellowing on the leavesGood evening I have an autoflowering at the eighth week and recently yellowing has begun to appear on the leaves that I don't understand if it is the leaves that go towards the natural end or a problem of burning of fertilizer or even a fungal infection.Leaves.

Beginning of week 8. Deficiency? Nute lockout? Normal for this stage of its life?Beginning of week 8 and her leaves are showing more spots and discoloration everyday.

The plants get yellow leavesGuten Abend ich bin hier neu, und habe folgende Frage; meine 4 Francos Lemon Cheeses werden immer hellgrüner? Sie stehen in einem 50x100cm Zelt und werden von einem Zeus XT 308 in der Farbe 3500K Cri 90 beleuchtet. Die Erde habe ich aus ca. einem Drittel gebrauchter Erde und 2 Drittel Plagron All Mix gemischt, und je 2 BioTabs/Topf gegeben. Stehen tun sie in 11l Pflanzensäcken. Seit einer Woche wird eine extrem hell und später werden die Blattränder braun, aber jetzt werden alle heller und sehen nicht mehr gesund aus. Laut meinen Recherchen schauen sie unterdüngt aus, aber ich bin mir absolut nicht sicher. Vorgestern war Gießtag und ich habe folgendes dem abgestandenen Leitungswasser beigemengt. 3ml/l CalMag von Biobizz 5 ml/l Melasse und 5ml/l Bio Tabs Orgatrex sowie 2ml/l Terra Grow von Plagron. Vor ca. 10 Tagen habe ich zum ersten mal gedüngt und habe ca. 5ml/l Bio Tabs Orgatrex und ein wenig Melasse gegeben und vor 6 Tagen habe ich geflimmt. Die Pflanzen sind etwas über 5 Wochen alt. Ich bin auf Eure Tipps gespannt und sag schon mal danke.Leaves. Color - Yellow
