Plant seems to be very sick, please help!!!!

Hey, I have been feeding my girl only purified bottled water for the last month. Before that one water nutrient mix feeding per week. The plant has slowly developed yellowing leaves, which turned into brown/grey decaying of the leaves. Check out pics. Thank for the help.

Hmm well the yellowing leaves is a sign of nitrogen difficency. But I think your plants got mold, what's the humidity?

take a few pics w/o the light on, its messing up me trying to look at the colors of the leaves and judge how bad it is and what it might be.

Thank you for the replies guys. The humidity is low, so I do not think it is mold. Here are more pics with the lights on the a camera flash. Any info would be great, thanks again.

Ok what's you're PH and temperature?

I am not sure on the PH, but I have been using only bottled water, and I use soil not hydro. The temp ranges from 82-92

What kind of soil? The PH is just as important in soil

Where did the symptoms first show up? On New growth, small leaves, in the middle of the plants, on the bottom/older leaves and from there which direction did it next spread?

I could not see gray in the pictures but if you do see gray that would most likely be a Boron problem.


Boron deficiencies will show up first in younger leaves (they may turn yellow), then moves up the plant. Boron deficiency can resemble calcium deficiency. Stunting, discoloration, possible death of the growing tips, bud abortion and development. The Roots will show a stunted with swollen short secondary roots, leaves distorted, sometimes bronzed or scorched. Tip of the shoot dies; stems and petioles are brittle. Boron deficiency plants are easy to tell, because of the spotting the leaves show like a strawberry mark and or splashes of the marking. Boron-deficiency symptoms first appear at the growing points. They also can show signs of newer growths turning gray and or dying, bud deformed, curling of the leaves which are often spotted and discolored. Newer growths appear to look like they are burnt. They can show signs of hollow stems along with yellowish to brownish color leaves. Dead (Necrotic) spots develop between leaf veins, as well as the leaves becoming thick. The leaves will wilt with necrotic and chlorotic spotting. Boron is poorly absorbed with low potassium content. First signs of the deficiency are abnormal growth tips. Having not enough boron can also invite troubles for fungus problems from the internal tissues to rot away, as well as the root hairs along with them being discolored. To avoid having a Boron deficiency try to keep the ph below 7 and to improve the moisture as well as retaining light soils.


Too much boron in your plants can produce a lot of problems. The leave tips turn yellow progressing inwards causing the plant to soon die slowly along with leaves dropping a lot. Can show same signs as if a magnesium deficiency, but only happens on newer growths. Parts affected by a boron deficiency are: Growing points and young leaves.

The symptoms of boron toxicity seems to match decently well to my situation. What are some remedies for that?

that looks like a LOT of heat and moisture stress. I would consider scrapping them and starting from scratch, if they are this stressed in veg, imagine how they will react to flowering.You have to get your environment dialed in before anything else. Post more info on your environment, min max temp and humidity? how often you are watering? What type of soil, and have you used any amendments or nutrients?What size pot? How old are they? Strain? etc,

His plants are flowering check it. Drop your temps. Its nitrogen and somthing else if it is boron google "boron and cannbis" it will find somthing thats how i found RIU.

Hey, they are autoflowering double diesel ryder plants. They are about 6 weeks old. I think heat definitely played a role in this. the tips of the top leaves were begining to show signs of heat stress. I have recently moved them down to the floor with plenty of space between the light. I did a grow earlier this year with the same conditions, environment, and pot size with great results.

Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest

temp ranges from about 82-92.

I water them with 17 oz of bottled water every day. When I dont water them for a day the plant seems to droop a bit. There is 3 plants total. One snowryder is currently flowering and will be done in a couple weeks. The other is double diesel ryder except it seems to be very heatlhy. I do not know why this one plant has had problems. I do foliage feeding occasionally. Maybe once a week. Thanks for your continued help. Also I do not know if this matters but on the very sick plant (third pic) the roots have come through the bottom of the pot and into the bowl i Put under it, could that play a role.

Lastly, this autoflower strain should have been flowering already and it hasnt really begin yet. I have seen the progress stall for about 2 weeks. Growth still occurs though.

It could be some sort of disease. I would take two full gallons of water two that pot. Take a milk jug freshly empty nothing curlded, Fill it up 24 hours before waterings. they add abunch of shit to the dead water they harvest from the other side of the world and sell it for a major profit. Use tap water it more nutrients that wont fuck up the plant. DROP YOUR TEMPS 80 is the max i let my shit get. Besides you will yield more dense nuggs and less chance of disease. Thats what i think i aint know expert but have enough expirience to provide for me my wife and my patient. They are weeds keep it simple. Also try mixing Fox farm Ocean forest with there light warrior in a 50/50 ratio and se if that makes a difference next grows. Or sunshine #4 i hear it some great shit. She hasent flowerd because she know she needs to be healthy first. Make sure your light aint to far. Looks like a tent? if so drop the temps in the room its in down to 70 that way the exuast will rise to 75 wich in turn your grow area will be no more than 80.

I did not quite follow what you meant by this. Can you re word or re phrase?

Currently I am taking the suggestion on the nitrogen deficiency. I just fed the sick girl a water/nute mix with 2 tsp/gal of fox farms grow big (6.0% nitrogen).

"I water them with 17 oz of bottled water every day. When I dont water them for a day the plant seems to droop a bit."

"Also I do not know if this matters but on the very sick plant (third pic) the roots have come through the bottom of the pot and into the bowl i Put under it, could that play a role."

"The plant has slowly developed yellowing leaves, which turned into brown/grey decaying of the leaves."

As the saying goes: 'When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra'... I'd repot into a larger container as soon as possible regardless of trying anything else. Being root bound would explain a lot of that and also minimize any other steps you might take nutritionally to help her.

I don't grow weed in soil but have a metric shit load of experience with containerized nursery plants. If the roots are all spiraled you have to unwind them. don't be afraid to cut some roots, it won't hurt the plant.

The Boron PH thing I believe rings true. As a prevenative just add the 1tbspn of Epsom Salt (I push this because it works) this balances ph and corrects nutelockout AND it doesnt harm the plants at all. Do this each FERT. Start small and work up to the full amount. Remove those sick leaves, your plant will recover faster not trying to heal them. I wouldnt scrap them because from what I have seen your plants are already recovering. Is it just me or do they look better as the pics come....


Waiting for the haters to disagree....

Can I add the epsom salt directly to my already formulated nute mix? either way its 1 tbspn/gal correct?

The roots definitely have purple/red streams through them length of them.
