Grrrr..... i´m confused.

So I have some photos I have had sitting for 4 weeks doing great until the last weak the bottom leaves are drying bad and dying... I was just getting ready to move them outside but the weather has been shit so I think i will transplant them and leave them in the tent but I wanted to hold off on a transplant until I figure out whats up with the leaves....

grown with a 400W Phillips SON-T Agro bulb in a 120X120X200cm tent. in and out extractors, humidifier and fan inside tent. no carbon filter necessary.

medium: Atami Kilomix:
the bag says.....
Atami Kilomix is the substrate that guarantees yield! Kilomix is a hight quality substrate and a mix of high-grade peat types and perlite, enriched with natural and biological nutrients. These nutrients provide your plant with an optional start for at least 6 weeks. Because of the well-balanced composition the structure provides a stable and perfect air/water regime in the substrate, both under dry and humid conditions. Excessive water is released easily, and the water distribution in the pot is optimal, making it easy to water the plants kilomix provides optimal root development, which is also visible above ground. The plant shows the difference.

I am on a 20/4 Schedule

watering with river water with a PH @ 6.5 and run-off is at 6.3

Humidity 70% and temp at 26.7c


:no:

Do you have any way to check your soil PH directly? Is the PH of 6.5 river water and nutrients together? It's possible your river water has alot of calcium or other mineral and is causing a lock out. If you haven't used nutes yet they are probably hungry. They do look a bit nitrogen deficient.

it looks chlorotic to me. especially lacking nitrogen. the bottom leaves look stressed by heat and maybe food. i would try a good balanced water soluble fertilizer to bring back the deep green color. GL

Could be lack of N ......... Or over watered?

 

[AutoMan]

Over or under watered....I'd bet over.....also that's a small amount of soil support that much foliage....perhaps rootbound and overwatered?

 

[Mr Piggy]

Looks like N and P dep. Those plants are large enough and in containers small enough they should be getting fed a vege nute by now. Also, be careful of any soil or nute that uses the term "natural" in it. Organic is a regulated term that has standards, natural is not. If a company is trying to be slippery by using the word natural, it sounds the caution alarm for me. Doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, just something that sends up a flag for me. I'd transplant and feed those girls.

I agree with you AutoMan, that pot needs to be bigger! And over watered.

sounds good people. Lots of good ideas! So it´s not over watering only because I wait 4-5 days between waterings. if anything its under watering. I am good with not overwatering and local people say that I may starve too much.

Today I will transplant to three galon buckets. I guess I won´t be able to get this under control until I get them more medium and nutes. Pretty obvious but it passed right over my head that they need to be transplanted and the medium could no longer serve it´s purpose. I have been waiting and waiting for better weather but I guess its just a shitty rainy cold summer here in Galicia again.... so they will stay in the tent until my next line of auto´s finish and then I will 12/12 em.

you´ll see them along my next auto journal starting today or tomoorrow.

All the best!d

Good luck dude! :booya:

Transplant made... but don´t know what to do...

So I planted them the 30th of May. I transplanted two days ago to 3.5 gallon buckets and they seem to have adjusted well. Now, this is the first time I have planted a photo inside and the second time i have done an indoor grow (have planted plenty outside before).

I just ordered some magic dragons and samauri jacks. I wanted to plant them as soon as they arrive but that will put these photos for another 2 months of vegging at least. They are running 20/4 and after the MD´s and SJ´s finish vegging I wanted to drop to 12 hours to flower the photo and finish the autos

Or should I just flip to 12/12 now, flower the photos the next month, then start a new grow with the MD´s and SJ´s?
You opinion is greatly appreciated!
