Needed some good advice and thought I'd FINALLY sign up so I can post!
I have always found these forums to provide helpful reading material, and they have assisted me well over the years- but I've never had an issue like this before and a little help is required.
Okay, so I left a few girls (1 x White Widow. 2 x Hindu Skunk) vegging in the same pots for a little longer than I should of, and they look like they started to developed a pH def. or nut. problem.
3 weeks ago I moved them to larger 20L (3 gallons) pots and mixed in gardeners lime to the soil to try and correct the problem- and that seems to have amended the ph issues- it now tests at around 6.5.
Once pH was corrected, I gave them small amounts of phosphorus and potassium- the after about 2 weeks the Skunks showed improvement and are now almost back to normal. But the White Widow still doesn't look her best, and I'm unsure what the problem is.
It's hard to say whats wrong as all 3 of the plants displayed slightly different symptoms- Skunks displayed an overall yellowing/lime green colour, and purpling of the leaf stems and main vein. While the Widow had clawing and rusty brown spots, and the yellowing was more leaf specific on her.
While most of the clawing has now been fixed, several leaves on the Widow continue to develop yellowing (starting at the tip and moving back) with random brown spots on the affected leaves- while other leaves on her look like they are getting better.
I originally thought it was a nitrogen def. but now I thinking may be a problem with potassium, or possibly magnesium- and I'm thinking that treating her with epsoms salts might be what she needs.
Any advice on what it could be would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys!
