Okay, I'll try again. Any pest activity in the room Andy?
Pest doin' that..? Hmmm.. I wouldn't think so, I could be wrong tho, am a lot. The twisting leaves and rust looks like ph issues and lockout. I used to get this looong time ago, when my ph was off in my aero unit. It would lockout nutes and F everything up. Looks identical ime.
Get ya some Age Old and stop worrying my friend. I use it on everything from Mary Jane, veg and fruit gardens, to citrus & palm trees on the farm out here. :harvest:
Im pretty set on switchin to coco or promix my next run..It seems to me that i would have much more control of my grow. and no more having to guess what and how much is in my soil and for how long..if that makes sense lol.
Thanks for all the info bro, but its just that i just bought these nutes not long ago (havent used them through a single grow yet)..But i will def keep that brand in mind in the future!
Sorry guys, forgot to fill you in on everything..this girl has been in FFOF soil for a little over 30 days..mixed my first batch of nutes to strong (fox farm Big bloom). Gave a good flush once i seen the clawing and yellow leaves. after i flushed her i started nutes again..but switched to general organics bio thrive bloom. Fed once with that and then this started. my ph is 6.5 btw.
Just my take on it bro, take it or leave it.
That damage looks to me like root aphids, leaf necrosis, burnt tips, upward curl. However you said no bugs in the room. Your nute schedule looks fine to me. I don't see how it could be any of the environmental factors you mentioned. Two scenarios come to my mind. One, you may have root aphids, they live in the root zone and are hard to see unless your looking for them specifically. Do you have a plant that you can tear up to inspect the root zone closely? Maybe a plant that was on the way to the trash can anyway? My second thought, if absolutely no bugs are present, is that they may have a virus, transmitted at one time by aphids. I had both. I took clones from, and threw away all mothers, treated the clones, cleaned out the closet, and was rid of the bugs. A couple weeks into veg I started to notice the leaf death signs that I'd associated with the aphids, however I tore apart the clones and no bugs, at all.
Anyway you can take a good, clear close up of the drainholes on the pots? Aphids congregate around drainholes and leave behind a white fungus looking substance that reminds me of mycelium (if your a shroom grower or have seen them grown you know what I'm talking about).
I really dont want to have to rip one of them up but if I have to I will. What would I be looking for in the roots? Is it normal for aphids to attack only one strain in a room with other strains?
"I took clones from, and threw away all mothers, treated the clones, cleaned out the closet, and was rid of the bugs."
I thought about doing this the other day. Taking clones from my mom and then tossin her. How would I go about treating aphids and/or an aphid virus?
Sorry for all the questions lol..here are the pictures you requested, I also added one of a clone I took from the mom. Wanted to get an opinion on whether or not its savable. Thanks for all the input btw!
Hey Lazarus what u doin with a picture of my woman as your avatar.
How did the roots look when you tore them apart? White and fluffy, brown? How did they smell? Any too-sweet tomatoes?
I'm not going to be much help here, but unfortunately, I don't know how to narrow it down for you. If it is root aphids, I tore apart a plant that had a big colony, like something out of Indiana Jones, but only in a couple square inches of a couple gallon pot. If I hadn't seen that particular section, I would have missed them. Go sit in front of your worst plant and just stare at the soil a while, maybe the answer will reveal itself. I'm actually not being sarcastic. I did this for about ten minutes with a plant and saw one of the white crab looking root aphids crawl out.
At the same time, your plants don't look exactly like what I saw with ra damage, but that could vary based on lots of factors. Either way I'd say you have root damage of some kind. The overfeeding could have been a factor, but then your new clones shouldn't have the problem.
How do you check your pH? Also hopefully someone more familiar with soil and your nutes can help you with that as a possibility.
You might have root aphids, but I always believe in taking a minute to figure out the problem so I learn.
Sorry bro, didn't even see this till I was trolling around today! That's MY hottie man, she's toking some of my green right now... Sorry for hijacking your thread for a minute Andy, what did you do as far as Cal/Mag goes for fixing this problem, I don't think it is bugs at all bro!!!!
Well, epsom salts are a staple in my garden along with lime. You can foliar feed the salts for quick uptake.
