Hi everyone! I'm new around here.
Over the past few days I've been having some trouble with my little plants. I have three, they're about 6 weeks old and one of them already showed being a girl.
It is an outdoors grow, and here we're like halfway through autumn but there hasn't been any really cold days yet.
PROBLEM: First they developed dark spots on new growth which then appeared on older leaves too. Then the new growths got an extreme chlorosis starting from the opposite end of leaf tip. (see pic)
Also, the young leaves started clawing/curling upwards, and one of them developed some more serious clawing on bigger leaves. Also I don't notice the nice weed smell anymore, in fact if I get really close it doesn't smell very well which makes me think it could be some fungus.
The diagnostic that visually matches best is manganese deficiency because of the spots and chlorosis. I can't really buy any nutrient solution, that's why I'm trying to water them with rain water in case it's a ph problem. But I guess it could also be phosphorus since they're trying to show their sex. But the clawing and smell makes me think it could be some bug or fungus.
You might also think it's iron deficiency but I don't think so because I already tried applying some iron which worked in the past but nothing changed.
I just hope you guys can help me! If you need any other info I'll be happy to provide
Questions from the sticky:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? Seeds.
2. How old are your plants? 6 weeks
3. How tall are your plants? about 20cm
4. What size containers are they planted in? about 9 litres
5. What is your soil mix? it's a fertile soil (has some perlite, ashes and stuff) + earthworm humus + more perlite + a bit of coffee and chamomille
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? I water with rain water when the soil is dry enough, I generally see if the top inch is dry or see some symptoms in the plant
7. What is the pH of your water? I don't know, but since it's rain water I'm positive it's ok
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? I don't have that information
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? Nope
14. What is the pH of the soil? I don't know :( but it should be ok because I had a sulfur deficiency in the past for using tape water which has a lot of chlorine, and started using proper water
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? Yes, I've always had trips but I check them all the time and remove them if I find any
16. How much experience do you have growing? This is my first time!
