I am in my fifth week from seedling; you can tell fromthe early pics the environment is ok. It is more of a soil, Ph, lockout, problem. I wastrying to sort out the problem on my own and I had few Ph. meter issues. I amusing both a soil Ph. tester and a reliable ph. water tester...!!


Plant info:

Sweet seed: Green Poison Auto -
Soil: klasmann with NPK - 16-17-18, recommend by Mandala seeds - German maid(too late to discuss it now), I did add any buffer to this soil or perlite. Ihave five other plants all auto one (GPA) and they are doing all ok. I am suingeggshells to buffer the soil in the other five.

Water: Drinking water - 6.9 Ph. - I used once another type of water but it wasonly for small amount but it had high Cal/Mg. Today, I used tap water withph7.2. I am trying to raise my run off ph.; it was low at around 4.7, now it isstill low but around 5.

Nuts: Canna line but used Molasses once but this after I have the problemgoing. And I only used one Bloom low Strength. Now, what through me off is thestupid soil meter which keeps showing the soil ph at around 7, so I was tryingto lower the ph in soil? Even when the problem existed my run off was around6...!!

I think the pics will tell the story and not to of that I bent the top stem,like I need it now...!>

Final note: I don't have access to garden lime or any other form and I can getany cal/mg any time soon, minimum ten days and I don't see her making throughtill then.

All the help is really appreciated....!! Happy growing....!!

Need pics... If I'm reading right only one plant is sick? Don't worry alot about run off. Soil and water together have a fine pH.
Calcium pills and epsom salts are at drug stores if you think it helps your issue.

Hi coho, I posted another thread with pics. The other five plants are growing in a completely different soil. But this one was the best and the most promising one...!! I think extra care, and bad ph got me there....please look at pics!! It is in a very advanced stage.

PS. New leafs are healthy but not for long maybe a week and they get the spots and it is downhill from there....and she is in a 3gallon pot....!!

Thanks for your help...

Use that high calmag water on it to start. Looks like a couple things..calcium and blooming so it using nitrogen from its leaves. You running bloom nutes?

You can dry egg shells in a low temp oven until really dry. Put in a blender and make calcium powder.

Could it be lack of nitrogen? Where on the plant did it start? Top or bottom? You can get a big bag of epsom salts at walmart for $2. Try mixing a tsp to a gallon and foliar feed for a few days. If its happening to new growth and not old growth (the top of the plant and not the bottom), I would suspect a nutrient problem over a Mg def. Good luck! Keep some results posted :)

Hi Daltrum...it started at the bottom couple of weeks ago(old grow), the soil has low N ratio, stayed low on nuts, just Canna veg. andMolasses once low dose. My Ph run off was as low as 4.6 now it is still lowaround 5. I was trying to raise the PH in soil, with just ph'd water. I gotfixated on the idea it was a ph problem...I thought I can get it fixed on myown, after reading maybe over 5000 posts, visited 300 webs:eyesmoke:ite and researchedthe industry inside out ....!! I thought I had it all figured out, how wrong i was..:sad: Nothing beats first hand experience...!! and my smart ass ideas (no soil buffer), got me into trouble...:smile:
