New Growth Is Deformed Please Help

[Dewd]

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I love it! I have a plant problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm using Humboldt nutes. Lately, once in a while, my plants get sick and I don't know why.

 

[Dewd]

It's been happening mostly on my bigger plants just before I put them in flower. Which is horrible timing. I started growing with techno flora and it worked great every time but the taste wasn't the best. So I switched to Humboldt. Sometimes it works great and sometimes it dont. The flavor is better either way. But I hate the inconsistency.

This is a stress signal. Root issues of some sort. Looks to be textbook overwatering. How often do you water? My skywalker kush is extremely sensitive to overwatering.

You sure about that?

You sure about that?

I am speaking from my experience. It's possibly nitrogen toxicity. I don't know his schedule so I can't say for sure. It's easier to diagnose.a problem when you're making the inputs.

Ok ok wasn't challenging you or anything just seemed really sure of yourself considering they're not the clearest pictures. It's usually advisable to put 'in my opinion' or something at the end so people don't think you're DrMcSkunkins or something like that and just blindly act on the advice. I would have leaned towards nitrogen toxicity because there's a fair few yellow tipped leaves there, and they appear to be clawing rather than drooping, and the overwatered plants I've seen, EVERY leaf drops. The question is whether it's because of overfeeding, or whether there was some sort of lockout that's suddenly been fixed and released nutes I.e nitrogen in abundance. No expert here, please research this yourself and ask a few of the pros @Dewd

 

[Organikz]

actually you just jogged my memory. I have read that over abundance of nitrogen can lock potassium out and vice versa which may explain the unusual growth.

Just to drop this in I've only seen two overwatered plants total, so don't take my word that's it's not, like I said I'm pretty amateur, but every leaf was almost 90 degrees to the plant pointing down, why I said I don't think it's overwatered...

Thanks everyone for your imput. I'm glad I found this site. I definitely don't over water. I let the soil completely dry out before I water. Sometimes the plants drops first but I try to water 1 day before they droop. I might have a bad bottle of Verde. It seems to have started about the same time I bought my last bottle. I thought they needed a little more green so I gave them a little extra dose and the next morning they looked like this. In the past when I've added extra Verde they greened up a little. But the last couple times this happened instead. I flushed with 6.5 pH water 2 nights ago and nothing changed yet.

 

[Organikz]

Extra as in more than the maker recommends? There is your problem. I would do 1/4 nutes or none for the next week or so. That's just me.

 

[Dewd]

Not more than the maker recommends. I had to go look to make sure. It's been awhile since I looked. Recommended dosage is 1-5 ml/gal. My normal rate was 2 ml/gal. I've never gone above 4 ml/gal.

 

[Dewd]

I will for sure cut back on the nutes for a couple feedings

 

[Organikz]

What can it hurt? If you work with a few choice strains you will notice some are nute whores and some just like a touch. You get to know exactly what your strains like to be fed and when once you dial in.

Less is more!

 

[Organikz]

This may be a stupid question but you are doing water, feed, water, feed correct?

You need to get in a better habit of wet/dry water cycles and hows your air exchange. .NOT AIR MOVEMENT. ..AIR EXCHANGE

This stuff kind of throws me for a loop. Root issues such as root rot, fungus gnats etc can throw off symptoms of pretty much anything from nitro deficiency to nitro toxicity. One thing that scares me about no till is I hover right below root rot.

My gut response is to say pH issue with your leafs clawing like that.... What medium are you in?

Consider the possibility that letting the soil dry out completely is allowing salts and other deposits to build up in their solid form and cause a lock out. In my unprofessional opinion...

Feed feed water about 800 ppm when I was using Humboldt. I just fed 350 ppm of mills nutes. A few days ago I flushed really good
