Rusty looking leaves really ruff feeling just started feeding 3 days ago?

Can someone please verify my problem here?

that plant looks limp.........how often do you water?

it was 16 ounces once every 7 days but i just started feeding 3 days ago and i was going to do 8 ounces in a inch or so of soil is dry so 3 or 4 days

cut the strength of nutes, if it seems like that's when it started. it may just be a wicked case of nute burn. water by weight of pot, imo.

It actually started appearing a day or two before nutes got introduced, since then has gotten worse

more data plz...........

5 ml of prime by earth juice and 7ml of grow earth juice mixed with one gallon water aerated for 24 hours then aerated for 3 hours with mixture gave all 4 plants 8 ounces each.... anyother info just ask?

water source, ph, soil..........por favor

The "lift the pot" method is a widely practiced, and very accurate method of knowing when to water your container plants.

The best way imho, to know when soil grown potted plants need more watering is by checking how heavy the pots feel. This method is very simple to learn once you get the feel for how light a ready for watering pot of soil feels.

Get an equal size pot and fill it with your soil. The medium should be about as moist as a new bag of potting soil. Use this planter as a learning tool to get a rough idea of how much the pots should weigh before watering again. The pots with your plants will feel only just slightly heavier when the soil is ready for more water. Pick up one of your planted pots, if its noticably heavy, do not water it until it feels "light". Next time you water a planter, pick it up and feel how much heavier it feels compared to the sample pot of soil.

It only takes a few times picking up the pots until this skill is like a "second nature" to you. You wont even need the sample pot after you get accustomed to the lifting method.

Sure your plants are always putting on more weight as they grow larger, but once you're proficient at lifting the pots, you'll also know how to compensate for the weight of the plants with ease.

I dont know how to better explain this method of knowing when to water, but believe me, anyone who learns this method, will always know when its time to water.

tap water, 6.8. soil is roots organic mix with perlite 8 gallons soil 2 gallon perlite

start of phos def to me

thanks for the knowlege grandpa i have been practicing this method

make up a light batch of food and foilage spray your girls lights off ASAP try to get ph to 7.0 for foilage

i have some nute/water mix still aerating leftover from couple days ago use that? i ave ph up down to get the ph around 7

To me it looks like a Cal/Mg Def.

With the rough leaves, and the spots of brown. It could also be to much light / heat in combination with the calmag def.

Cut back on the NUTES a bit, and maybe add some CalMag

check the ph after nutes are added to water if the water is 6.5 then after adding nutes it usually drops the ph could be to low.

i also was thinking cal def. from other pics i have seen but im not sure. i did have a climax in heat yesterday for a few hours but managed to get the temp back down to 77f 40%h but this problem occurred a few days before nutes. gave the girls the specified amount for week one of veg im currently one month two weeks since the seeds sprouted thru soil.

after nutes are added ph is around 6.8

add some cal/mg if you have not already, it should clear up in 3-4days. The damaged leaves will not recover much
