Lowryder #1 First Grow

Has the browning of the leaves gotten any worse?

The only way i was able to go around the ph id to use disstilled water, you will prob have cal problems with it thats why i stoped. e-bay has ph kits fo 15 buck. wall mart has paper ones for like 5. it really is worth it.

Thanks both of you... I guess im either stuck on pH problem or, to much nutes. Pic in a sec.

DAY 29: Lucy is doing the same as yesterday i think, I am hopeing this problem isn't going to cost lucy her life

or is the lights to close? Because in that second pic it did look like where that one cfl was in the middle right under it that leaf started to get a little discolored..?

alright so someone on GC told me "flush, keep pourin water in til it pours out the bottom.. do this every time you water until its strong enough for nutes.. yer soil will keep it going for a good while as far as food is concerned. it'll recover if ur nice to it.

get a soil ph tester if your planing growing often, but if you use good soil and clean water you can get by without one."

I'm gonna try that next time i water.

hey millyy, how did your seed look. just got mine in and they look really white. i always pick the dark ones with black lines. i have been pretty good about picking out the females with the other seeds but could just be luck. mine came from pollinator seed bank. after ordering i found out they are owned by mjseedbank. many bad reviews about them.

Hey Millyy, I think Lucy needs nutrients. I think that flowering tablet is not getting to Lucy. Need to check the soil to see if the pH levels are correct. If the level is too high (above 7.0) then you could be experiencing nutrient lockout. My babies have yellow leaves at the bottom because it was time to start feeding them nutrients.

I see, I ordered mine from the attitude. They were like a brownish color I can't remember dark or light though, I can check maybe today.

Hey chief I was thinking that but now it's not just yellowing of leaves, the bottom leaves are yellowing and curling downwards and turning brown at the tips I'm pretty sure.
It still might need nutes I'm not quite sure, but I'm using FFOF soil so if it did need nutes wouldn't it be able to use the mutes already I'n the soil?

I will continue to flush every 2 or 3 days till shes back on track, hopefully this will cure her I can only try hehe

This is true I might go so far to say that its working. My logic? She doesn't seem to be getting any worse. No complaints about that right

What's up Millyy, the soil provide nutes for about 3 weeks then your baby need more. I don't know if the tablet is giving Lucy all the nutrients she need. I see she's trying to get some height on her Get the pH meter soon before it's too late.

Yep man, We will see what happens, maybe tomorrow she will be 16 inches tall! (kidiing haha )

Thanks chief, shes trying and im trying to try lol im about to get that meter. Its confusing though like your saying she might not be getting nutes, others say it might be getting to much and or ph is bad haha

Well once you know what the ph is it will tell you two things. 1 whether lucy is able to USE the nutrients in the soil and 2 if lucy CAN use the nutrients in the soil then you know there's not enough in the soil so you have to add flowering nutrients.

The tab i added was for flowering nutes but ill see if shes done any better by today when i take pics.

i let my water sit out for atleast 24 hours lol.

this just lets some of the salts and chlorine and chemicals evaporate and lets the water get to room temperature. It doesn't automatically adjust the PH to your plants needs

i forgot to PH my water once...just once. and the water was around 7.5-8 and it destroyed one of my plants. It probably the most necessary thing to get as a grower.

Thanks Zenith, that's what I was trying to say about soil If the pH in the soil is too high, then Lucy won't be able to get the nutrients from the soil nor the tablet. The yellowing of the leaves is an indication of some deficiency having to do with nutrients, either too much or not enough. It's hard to tell because the first thing that needs to be check is the soil's pH level to rule out one or the other.
