60 Plant Grow Setup

looks as it the Roots are struggling to get nitrogen uptake, Causes


AFIDS, if you read back you seen me warning of this. you need to folar feed but it will get much much worse. Good luck, afids are very destructive, they will destroy your plants ability to get the nutes. Nevertheless your plants will still live, they will just lose a little vigor, and the color, and health will suffer.

If you would have treated and followed the life cycle you should be rid of these. You want to know 4 sure? Pull your plants out of the dirt, inspect the root ball, if there are afids, this is your cause.

Also, be warned, you are lowering the nutes, is is making less micronutes available, this will cause your problem to get worse. adding more nitro to the soil can cause more lockup. Ease the stress of the plants by folar feeding, you need to get this in check fast as, it is not good to spray your buds with moisture, and @ day 20 or so you are starting to get some formations.

You seem really positive it's aphids abud'. Isn't it also a possibility that he simply has bad pH, which is probably the most common problem with new and old growers alike?

i have not heard that they are gone, the reason i dont suspect ph is trenton is making large quanitys of nutes, if it was a ph issue i would suspect it to be more wide spread.

in eariler posts i read he has hundreds of them coming out of the pots, i have no idea on the effectiveness of the organic treatment he has applied, however, If it is afids, you will notice a lime green appearence, you react by naturally adding more nitro, however, at this point WEEK 3 of flower, he would be on 2 tsp grow big 6.4.4 2 tsp tiger 2.8.4 and micro nutes big bloom

giving a overall 8 12 6 there is plenty of nitro there, and if the ph was off would show other lockout.


When these afids attack a section of roots they will devour all the tips and matter in sight. when these chewed roots are fed it burns the tips. the plants ability to uptake nitro is the first to go. usually one will over correct leading to total nutrient lockout.

If he has a good case the plants will appear overwatered, pulling the root mass out of the pot and inspecting roots will answer this in a heart beat.


I couldbe wrong but i am i standing my call ....

Brady thought he was right about going perfect too, but too bad he didn't =).

he switched nutes last week. no more fox farms.

DAMN I'm glad I ant soilin...So much easier to control with hydros.

Sorry everyone I have been super busy. I am actually switching to a 3 part bloom product tomorrow. Flora Bloom 0-5-4 Flora Micro 5-0-1 and Flora Gro 2-1-6. Not sure on how much of each I should use yet so please give advice. Another thing I need advice on. Ever since I leached my plants the soil doesnt seem to retain water for shit. IE, if I water one plant with .5 gallon of water approx half of that goes straight through to the pan undernieth. I can no longer water every other day like this. This way I have to water everyday... What should I do? Calli, I just got your message PM me.

well if you're going to start using 3-part feeds you definitely need an EC/PPM meter.

They're cheap.

Are we going to get a update on this grow?


he said every 12 hours, it has been what seems like 12 days

Hi everyone. <amy of the fan leaves on the grand daddy purple are turning solid yellow... This is only day 20 of flower and they have approx 40 days to go...Should I up the nitrogen intake and if I do will the leaves turn around and go green again from this point. I can provide pics if you like.

From my experience leaves that are mostly yellow will not turn back to green with heavier feeding. Some of the the fan leaves that have just started yellowing may darken up again, but it will definitely stop more of them from yellowing.

you wont correct the damage you can keep the new growth green. i have not used the new food you have selected, so i can not advise of the amount of nitro.

nitro is readily available 5.0 - 7.1


Trenton, ease the stress by folar feeding. keep ph @ 6.3-6.6 to keep plenty of p available. at this point hearty plants are uptaking 3- 4 quarts of waternute mix. water slow to allow time for the foxfarms to wix up the water.

You also need to make sure these plants are at least 1100-1300 ppm on the food levels.
what is the aphid situation trenton?

Aphid situation seems to be the same. Im killing as many that are producing. By foliar feeding you mean to spray the leaves. Im not gonna attempt that at all at this point. I have way to many buds forming... Also. My PH pen broke a couple days ago. Im really scared to water with nutes without checking the PH. I need to buy a new one asap.

Here is an image of a grand daddy purple plant with the big to medium sized yellow fan leaves. This is 3 pics of the same plant. All 16 GDP look to be the same... What do I do???

I dont think thats much to worry about...hows the new growth look to you?

n-i-t-r-o-g-e-n

Hey FDD I wish you had a PH pen I could borrow tonight. I really think some plants could use some nutes and water tonight but I dont want to do it if the PH will be way off.

i have test strips for a swimming pool.

that yellowing looks pretty normal to me...I would just give the gdp more N then the sd......I think I have an idea on your watering/soil situation..
