Help ! I don’t know what’s wrong with my plants???

Stone973 · Sep 24, 2023

Help these are plant grown from clone in fox farm soil they are being fed advanced nutrients 3 part fertilizer with a little cal mag every now and then , they are under 2 300w spider farmer lights.They were doing well when I first transplanted them in there final pots now I’m not sure what’s wrong they have very purple stems whith very droopy leaves and some of the leaves are turning yellow or yellow and brown and one plant has black on the tips of the leaves almost purple

You might want to consider a good pruning of water leaves and open them up for air flow and less nutrients. Just my opinion

Ok thank you. You don’t think they look sick?

GNick55 · Sep 24, 2023

eeek…
mmmm well one thing is, this is not good..
are you following a feeding chart?
what about your environment? is it good?

BuggzNuggz · Sep 24, 2023

I've seen worse when I started indoor growing, but they can bounce back. Oh yeah play them some music!!

BuggzNuggz · Sep 24, 2023

Yeah I was going to ask if you have good ventilation or smoke around them?

I’d say they are hungry,and your too low of a PH is locking out you nutrients.but your soil is very hot. If that makes sense.

-Purple stems are from the intense lights

-yellowish leaves from being hungry,but you don’t need more fert.you need to probably correct your PH in your soil

Have you tried measuring your run off of your pots.(I bet you PH is under 4

Looks like calcium, magnesium deficiency.
Correct PH by flushing with these secondary nutrients.

Calcium looks like those black dots on new, upper leaves.
Magnesium can be also visible from old, lower leaves.
Nitrogen deficiency looks like too is occuring.

Sides of leaves are changing colour also on mid parts of leaves. I d say K nutrient.

no

Where did I make mistake in my assumption?

Could be PH problem but who knows, I didnt read anybody mentioning, if PH is incorrect.

no no didn’t say your wrong and sorry i meant to reply..
im waiting to hear from this grower first but i’m thinking some sort or virus or viroid., but yes you can see deficiencies and toxicities..

ArtfulCodger · Sep 24, 2023

I'm guessing some combination of too much light, too much feeding, and/or too frequent watering. How old are the plants? How big are the pots? Which FF soil are you in? How big is the space? How often and how much are you feeding? How often and how much are you watering? Do you know the runoff EC/ppms from your last watering?

Maybe try a good gallon of store bought spring water with a little Cal Mag added in and see what happens.

Cannaburg · Sep 25, 2023

Calmag or Epsom salts will help with most of it... probably can diagnose other issues once calmag is ruled out

Not to crash this thread but I’m having issues with my teen clone. It was slightly in shock when I first got it so I went ahead and just put it in a bucket with no nutrients just water with a P.H of 6.4(running dwc btw) thinking this would be a good idea since it was in shock to help bring it back to life (droopy leaves). However, it’s been 3 days now and after one day it looked like it was starting to come back but not day 3 it’s dropping even worse and one leaf has fell off completely (just turned yellow and fell off ) and now two more are doing the same but not only are the leaves drooping so are the stems. 74 room temp and 55% RH at all times with lights going 24hr and a ppm reading of 25 (because I’m running no nutrients right now). Can someone help a brother out as this is my first time doing dwc.

start a thread with some pictures and people will help

it kind of sounds like it's hungry but that's just a total shot in the dark

Good idea. PH is critical In all plant growing.

just got done with some that looked like that. Tested my soil. I was extremely high on sulfur. And have read up on it bit. My issue was I never watered enough. I didn't want to leach out my nutes. But that left all of the sulfur in there. hydrolocked my soil. I still did alright in the long run, but could have been much better. Sulfur toxicity increases the salts dramatically. Locks out a lot of nutes. Lowers the ph quite a bit.

I fixed things in the interim with microgenics stuff. liquid zinc/boron/copper etc. I sprayed once with it and things changed pretty much overnight. Sprayed again two days later and leaves were coming out green. The cycle continued to happen through flower, so sprayed a couple times more.... keeping spray off any flower.

All of this is moot if you water enough.

Help ! I don’t know what’s wrong with my plants???
