HELP! What's wrong with my plant?

midnightoker · May 4, 2009

As you will see in the pics...Overall it looks healthy, however, on the same node/branch on both sides the leaves are curling and turning quite brown and crispy..

She's not UNDERwatered..if anything, over watered..

She just got her first does of BIG GROW a few days ago, but this problem was existent prior to BIG GROW. She was getting water only prior to big grow. PH is at 6.8, humidity in room is at about 55% and temp is always between 65 and 75 degrees.

Not sure what's going on. Is this the "under leaves" falling off like I have read?

Like I said, overall she looks healthy. and the top growth/new growth looks perfect, it's just these original leaves that are looking real bad...

Thanks in advance for the help

Age?
Light cycle?
Whats your water schedule?

Whats a few days ago? And do you mean Grow Big? If so how much did you feed?

Thanks for the reply..

She was germinated on 4/2
She's under a 600watt HPS 18/6
I water her when I feel the first inch or so of the top soil feels dry....
PH is about 6.8
3 days ago she got GROW BIG and she got 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon of water....not fed at once....spread out the gallon..

sounds like a magnesium deficiency to me, common in soil if the roots get too cold, or mg becomes bound when theres an excess of k, ammonia or calcium. epsom salts would probly do the job

I appreciate the help. Any suggestions as to how to get the epsom salts in? Do I dissolve in the water? If so, how much? (per gallon).....Shouldn't the grow big have magnesium?

How often would you say you water?

Go get a soil moisture meter. Water when it says dry. That will make sure you do not over water. When you water water with the same amount of water as the container size. This makes sure the medium gets fully moist. I grow in 1 gallon bags and water every 3-5 days and longer later in flower.

I would have started nutes at 1/4th strength but if she takes it its all good. Grow Big is some strong stuff. I love it though. It takes 3 days or more to show results. So in the next couple days you she see some good growth. Make sure you only feed once a week and at least every other water.

Everything else looks good. Just get the watering down and she will be fine. Make sure you also ph after you add nutes. Grow big will drop that ph alot.

Good Luck

Grow big has all the mg you need. The issue was she needed to be fed mixed with a lil over watering.

You fixed the nute issue by starting grow big. And you will fix the over watering.

I come with a grow journal in my sig. This other guy has 40+ posts?

Do what I say and you will have a healthy happy plant

Very, very helpful, thank you!

I'm going to re check the PH at the next watering.

Question though, you said feed at least every other watering...and at the same time, don't feed more than once a week....that confused me.

as for the growth...I have already seen the growth JUMP....It's looking great...Just those leaves that have my concerns up...

Those leaves will just die off. The rest of the plant going forward will be fine.

Sorry for the confusion. I am very high right now :hump:

What I mean to say is don't feed back to back. So at least go feed, water feed. And unless your in like a 16 oz cup you should at the least go 3 days between watering. So every other watering would be a feeding. But also make sure you try to feed no more than once every 7 days to not over nute.

So never feed back to back and never feed sooner than once every 7 days.
