Ok let me start by saying,this is my first grow. I have (3)lovely ladies (2)around same age about 6 wks old (1) 3wks old. Im having problems with my (2)6wk old which (1) is in full flower, the main one in question is not. I have done some research and still can't diagnose my plant. As it seems my plant has a few issues. It started approximately 12days ago after I tried to take nutes up to ff recommended schedule week 4. Checked next day plant was dying from bottom up.Flushed the plant twice it went stealth after first flush then after the second flush it started growing taller. Checked ph it was almost 8 on ph probe. So gave half of the recommended ff week 5, 2 days ago. Today I notice more leaves dying.Not sure if its nute deficiency,root rot, it has been hot as in its summer time. In my grow area lights are still on 18-6. Please lead me in the right direction.

That's a fugly plant. Compare the damage with cannabis effected by Russet Mites or Broad Mites.

If it is mites. They have been going at for a while.

It's over watered. Somehow you have to dry your soil out and get some oxygen to your roots.
On the probe I have it test light,ph and moisture. I just took pic while taking pics inserted probe and it is saying dry an top layer of soil is dry

As far as on the plants I haven't seen any put fingers in the soil to try and createa air pocket because i thought it was root rot or pot bound

Last feeding was 1.5 tsp of ff big bloom 1tsp each of tiger bloom an grow big to 1 gallon of distilled water and split the gallon between the two 6wk olds
Ok.

You need to mix it weaker and water more. You want good runoff to prevent salt buildup.

It looks like a root problem. Could be over watering or under.

Both look similar. If it starts yellowing bad it is over. If it starts yellowing and getting necrotic brown spots its chronic under water.


What is your watering habits like? How much and often?

If using distilled or ro water you need to add a bit of cal/mag to the water. Both are void of minerals and can actually strip the plants of them.

Are your pots heavy? They look over watered. If you used a half of a gallon of water to water one plant then I'd say they are definitely over watered.

It could be root bound.

That will cause problems. If it is you should be able to lift the 2nd and root ball out in one piece easy when its on the dry sides.

Work and squeeze the sides of the pot and see if it lifts out easy.

You can lean the pot over with the stalk between your middle and ring fingers and let the plant fall out of the pot.

I was water a 1/2 gal twice a week using top layer soil process sometimes 3 times a week an feed once a week everything foxfarm recommended i cut in half as far as feeding. Is there a certain ratio how much cal/mag to add to how much water?

I have read after you transplant at seedlings you never remove plant from the pot? At this point don't want to cause anymore damage. Is there another way to check with out removing the plant?

You read. I've done. Won't hurt a thing.

If its root bound it has to be up potted.

Its common to up pot multiple times.

I routinely cut or break up roots on root bound plants. It helps them grow roots in the new pot.

Ok What do I do once its out?
Put the old pot in a new one and put dirt around it to make a perfect hole.

If the roots are white and healthy just leave it alone. Remove any root damage.

If its not root bound leave it be.
