SANlight sanlight EVO 140 and 60 series perpetual grow with biotabs Dutch passion ect

Just a quick one today no heres my problem child and when she first starting losing colour I assumed it's because she doesn't like being wet so I took her off the res and I've top fed her for over a week but her main problem is even after the smallest feed she takes days to feel close to needing more by the weight of her. So what I've done I gave her some orgatrex for a bit of nitrogen and she didn't like that so what I've done now as per @Antonio_DutchPassion advice is start giving her some bac grow to try and turn around but here's the strange thing she's still filling out just not very pretty

My only other suggestion would be a touch of root rot?

Qb
 
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well, I think the wet conditions on the Autopot system has prob caused some water logged soil (with possibly some rootrot here and there) Since she was the smallest of the batch she could have had more issues with using all the water that was provided to her. This can also cause various nutrient issues/imbalances.. and this is what we are seeing now I think.

I would personally take away a few of its big fan leaves (especially those at the bottom which have been yellowing) to make sure she doesn't need that much nutrients to stay green..

I would also be very careful with every watering, and first let her dry out more. Try to give her a bit less water, its probably better to give her a bit less but more often, then a lot once in a while (because this will make matters only worse), this way there will stay more oxygen in the soil too.

One question to you @St. Tom are you using those Autopot Airdomes for extra oxygen in each pot or not?

I don't use the air domes also bro the fussy girl has been off the res for a week now but even feeding just over a litre at a time she seems to take the longest time to feel light again also regarding the leaves I left them on to show you and I removed most of them now . Also @Qbgrower I haven't smelt no smell when I've watered her but maybe she could have root problems and i will check her for sure

If you've got any of that hydroguard stuff it may be worth giving her a little dose? I'd double check how it will effect organics as it's not something I've ever used just seen people use it on here.

I've got the organic version HYGROZYME so I will give her that with each watering mate

I knew there was an organic one just couldn't remember the name. And it was probably you that made me aware of the stuff. :funny:

Kind of sounds like her roots need some attention to me.
You might want to try and making some SST, sprouted seed tea. Organic popcorn would be the easiest to get for most people, I like using two row barley. Basically just sprout the seeds, blend them with a little bit of water, being careful not to heat it up too much. When blending, at the beginning add enough water to keep it fairly fluid and still chop the seeds, afterwards you can add more water.
Squeeze out and strain. You want enough water to get everything down decently in the root zone. A cup of seeds will be plenty. Sorry I can't tell you the exact amount, since I could always feed all my leftovers to my worms.
There is a huge amount of hormones and some enzymes that the plant can utilize and hopefully correct what is going on in your root zone. Hopefully you don't have any bugs or anything that is affecting it. This should help, if it were mine I would add a touch of aminos and also a touch of kelp, but since you probably don't have these items, just the SST should suffice.
Unless you have some bugs or something affecting it, I think your assumption of too wet feet is probably what's going on.
 
Well the poorly girl is still hanging in there so I removed a load of leaves and I only slightly moved 2 branches and they totally fell off but you got to remember she's was always a runt anyhow today I just about gave her a reprieve as she was close to getting binned but the other 3 girls look awesome
. Thanks for the advice with her folks but I still have her beautiful sister mbk s1 and my 2 Gxbc also I'm here to post the good results with the bad


 
Were the stems/contact point a little mushy? Or do they still look good from the inside?

One of the biggest bitches in growing can be stemrot/fusarium... it often starts in the soil/rootlevel, and works its way up to the stems/branches. And it thrives in waterlogged conditions.. I really hope it is not the case here! :doh:
