[Don't Fear the Reefer]

Hello have u calibrated your ec pen lately just a thought as my needs doing once a week

Thanks Dell, yes it was brand new and fully calibrated yesterday before I used it.

The Godzilla Cookies I fed the other night is showing an issue this morning, I don't think it was from the feed as it may possibly have been going on for a while. Previously I noticed, pinkish patches on the leaves, which I just ignored.
Today I am seeing bownish, orange spots on the leaf tips
Sorry for the crappy pictures.

It has only been getting non Ph'd water, as I was told I do not need to PH with this soil and nutrients and the feed I gave it the other night.

None of the other plants are showing symptoms, and they have only been getting non ph'd water.
It has been praying to the light pretty much since it started growing.

Any wise heads able to offer any advice please?

I see this in nearly every grow. If none of the others show problems then just mark it down to it being a week plant. I have one in my SOS grow where previously I would just remove it for not being up to par.

When I have a plant like the one you have they normally have a slow metabolism and take in nutrients slower than the rest. The leaves may go crispy with larger rust spots. I normally let the plant dry out a little then water when required ( may be a day or two out from the rest).

My wee shit plant.

Thanks @Sawney_bean , I'll keep an eye on it and just water it when it feels light.
Like you said, it may be a weak plant, as it was a cheap one from herbies seeds, one of their in house brand.

edit - It could also be a magnesium deficiency, as the week 2 feed, recommends 1 gram of magnesium, but I only fed the week 1 feed, which has no magnesium in.

it's always a pain when a strain needs special care
As you know mate I only use blood fish and bone with some chicken poop so I know hehaw about the bottle nutes. I do use formulex to bring back my sick plant's. It's a full solution with all the nutrients , in theory you can grow a full plant from seed to harvest. It helps with the lack of certain elements in my feed to.

You grow some great plants, so it's definitely working for you.
Not sure about the nutrients I'm using, some people swear by them , but I have trouble last grow and having some trouble this grow.

Thinking of swapping over to some dry organic nutrients for the next grow. We'll see.

The bottom left plant is the week spaner . Picture was a couple of weeks ago.

It's hard to get consistent results when there are so many factors at play.
I have used hydro and all the bottle nutes with all the charts to follow and never got good results. And I mean it. So I just went with dirt. I couldn't get a basic consistency that was repeatable grow after grow and for breeding and seed making that's just not on.
You don't need to have a PhD in chemistry for soil.
And for a dulard like me I see no other way
I wish you all the luck mate .

I agree mate, too many variables, too many bottles.
I just want to water when they need it.

Hopefully it's just a weak plant and I have no other troubles with the other girls.

Got a question for all the people who top their plants.
Is it ok to top a plant on day 21, that is showing pistles?
