New Grower Sick plants! : [ help please!

[tsleazy]

Hello,

I'm at 4 weeks from popping out of soil as of yesterday. Nirvanas Bubbleicious auto fem. I've been having trouble with her. At first I was sure I had a nitrogen toxicity going on. So I flushed. And then a week later introduced mother earths super tea bloom and she started acting up again. (less than 1/4 the dose rec.) So I flushed again. And trimmed off lower bad looking leaves. That takes us to here. I thought the leaves that were acting up were from the nitrogen toxicity before. Now It looks like I have some sort of deficiency? :[ yellowing leaves with dying brown spots. Calcium deficiency maybe. Here are some pics if you kind people could help me out. Also solutions to the problem!



All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Happy tokes!

Hello there tsleazy,my last grow was an auto bubblelicius and believe it is a killer strain

i was having the same problems in bigger scale,imo your soil is too acidy and that cause all the problems

for sure you having (Ca,Fe,Mg) issues with my eyes,so check your soil ph levels and act

I have been ph'ing to 6.5 - 6.8 about (just using the dropper method) and the run off is between 5.5 - 6. I had filled my five gallon buckets with ffof and happy frog. first third - ffof, second - mix of both, third - mainly happy frog. So i assumed it was the bottom third making it super acidity. Should I pH the water higher to compensate?

And thanks for the help!!!

Can you get a soil ph reading? To me it looks like cal/mag lock out. I had the same issue about a week or so ago. My soil ph dropped to 5.2 and cal/mag got locked out. The rusty spots on the leaves look similar to the symptoms I had.

I can water tonight, the soils a tad bit damp but one day early won't hurt. I usually check the runoff as I stated a couple posts up ^ but like I said I assumed it was the bottom third of my soil that was making it so low. (First grow, has been pretty tough).

I wouldn't do anything until I knew what my soil ph was.

 

[tsleazy]

my only option of testing the soils ph is from runoff. how do you suggest i do it otherwise, and on short notice.

I've got nirvana northern lights going . doing the same thing at about the same time. I'm a couple weeks ahead of you. I'm doing the same thing checking runoff. For the past couple weeks I been feeding with 8.to 8.5 feed the runoff is at about 7. Now and the plants are looking better. I've also been adding some grow nutrs in with the bloom. Some better pics might help

Ph soilmeters go for about ten bucks worth the investment. Did u flush her with phed water?
