I honestly thought it looked like sun damage. It also looked like it had a spray of water or foliar feeding b4 was set outside in sun. Just a thought from an old farmer.
I've been following their feeding schedule through this grow. They actually recommend using bb through the whole grow. In the beginning its 6tsp then gets down to 3. They said it's very mild.Big Bloom for vegging plant? Just an FYI, there's a difference between grow and bloom nutes. At what PPM? IMO, it's displaying P and K toxicity, combined with plant stress.
Hey!Hey y’all, fed my girls yesterday with Fox Farm Big Bloom I normally use Fox Farm Grow Big. Their last feeding was 4.5 days ago so I think I over fed but this dosent look like pictures I’ve seenView attachment 1254226View attachment 1254225View attachment 1254223View attachment 1254222View attachment 1254221thoughts?
I’m repotting them tomorrow into 25gal pot, should I flush them tonight?
Seems like its on the big fan leaves on two out of my 4 plants…
So idk where ur located or what u have access to, but you want to give your plants EVERYTHING they need be4 issues start.These are my girlsView attachment 1254232
This is the plant on the far leftView attachment 1254233View attachment 1254234
Maybe a Deficiency showing in those lower leaves? Middle girl seems OK upper pictures of are the two on the right side of the picture
Food grade diatomaceous earth I hopeIf/when I get bugs in the soil I cover the top/dirt with sand or diatamacious earth. It helped with a terrible fungus gnat attack one time. But my plants did not look like yours. I may have eliminated the gnats before they did much damage. Bugs are no joke. And they can really explode in dirt if you aren't catching them early. Good luck.

Update guys:
I did end up doing a little exploring but didn’t find a borer (thank goodness!!).
It would seem whatever happened stopped progressing though the infected leaves are still Dying which I expected… hopefully it was just over love with those nutrients….take a look and let me know what you see please and thank you!!View attachment 1256782View attachment 1256783View attachment 1256785View attachment 1256784
I haven’t been watering them cause my meter said or is saying that they’re WET but I’m havei g trouble believing that, tomorrow will be 7 days since last water and that seems really long but they are 25 gallon pots Afraid to over water the weight thing is hard cause they took 2-1/2 1.5cu.ft bags of soil so they’re already really heavy
That is literally text book bro!Stick your fingers down into the dirt up to your knuckles, if you feel moisture, give it another day or two. If not, time to water. When you go to water those, make sure you saturate the entire pot, don't be shy, use PLENTY of water. They're fabric pots so you basically can't overwater anything in them, but you can water too frequently.
After you get them good and soaked they should be heavy as hell and probably won't be able to lift the pot very easily. Just keep checking every day and you'll eventually get the feel for when it's time to water again.
For the first week or two in those new pots, you shouldn't have to water very often at all, until it develops the roots a little better.
Just keep in mind most people get the "overwatering" term incorrect. Overwatering does not mean too much water at one time, it means too much water, too often. These plants NEED oxygen at their roots, so letting your soil dry out a little is necessary.
Yup thats my opinion too.With the rapid onset of symptoms snd the classic trails on the stem im sure it is borers, and you may not have to scrap the plant, but the lifecycle of these things are iffy, i know the borers emerge from th soil as little grubs , on cool mornings when there is dew on the plants they crawl up the stem until they find a stem that is tender enough to chew through,(the trails you see are the grub test feeding until they can penetrate the outer stem, once inside the chew their way up i believe although that's a point of speculation and exp on my part. some say they go down others say up, but either way , once ive located the hole he chewed his way into i will take a straight needle and start piercing the stem every few mm or so up the stem as far as you believe he might have had tim to travel( they can move quickly) you can usually tell when you hit paydirt but not always. the prevention..i have found to be to keep the plants indoors at night, and i use Vaseline around the base of the stem if im keeping them out alot, there are systemic poisons that kill them but i do all organic grows and i honor that pledge. there are budworms also that have similiar lifecycle , the difference being that the budworms are laid as eggs on the underside of the leaf by a small tan ordinary looking moth, and when the grub emerges he heads straight for your beloved colas to set up homesteading. this is what i know and have experienced with borers= usually the damage they do before you find them is catastrophic, and there is room for hope , i have found, eliminated and revived countless plants who have been afflicted with these things weed, squash, broccoli and all other types of garden vegetables.
Search, new simplified way to Water, and check it out.I’ve come to the conclusion on my meter that dry means dry, moist means dry, and wet means moist. Remember you can poke holes in the bottom third of the pot and insert the meter horizontally to get a little idea of what’s going on at the bottom.
