I'm an outdoor grower so I can't be much help but there are folks here who can but they'll need more info.Hey I'm new and need help. This is my 2nd grow. The 1st were autoflower and came out ok. This grow is regular plants. 2 GSC and 2 sour patch kiss. 1st off the GSC have been growing since January the sour patch kiss since March 7th. They grew real slow and now we are in the 3rd week of flowering and the leaves are dying. The nodes on the GSC are too close together on top of each other. The soil takes 5 to 7 days to dry out.View attachment 878009View attachment 878010
@Peppie, second that request for natural light shots...I’m not seeing anything in the first shot for alarm, at three weeks into bloom.Might help to have some more pics in normal light
I agree. I based my earlier reply on what looked to me like twisted leaves in the purple picture, but perhaps in regular light it looks differently. I still maintain that less is better for growing.@Peppie, second that request for natural light shots...I’m not seeing anything in the first shot for alarm, at three weeks into bloom.
I have a water meter and only water when it says dry. Also they have perlite at the home depot in my area. I will try that. I also have 2 Sour Patch kiss that are being fed the same regimen, so being new I'm confused as to why the GSC did what it is and not the others. Can they be saved?I think you are seing the #1 reason for problems, overdosing on nutrients. Fox Farms soils are pretty hot. I've said this a hundred times. When you pour more nutrients into an already pre-charged soil, you can not only overfeed them greatly, but also screw up the Ph and stuff because the soil is full of everything needed, and additions can raise or lower the Ph, causing all kinds of issues. I always maintain that it is a LOT easier to add nutrients than to get them out. Flushing might help, but since the soil is chock full of nutrients, flushing might not help as much. I would give it a try, and go easy on the nutrients. If it is taking your soil 5-7 days to need watering again, you might want to add some perlite to the mix to allow for better draining. Promix is great if you can get it, as it really can eliminate the overwatering issues.
The leaves are twisted and stacked on top of each other. The leaves are turning brown on me.I agree. I based my earlier reply on what looked to me like twisted leaves in the purple picture, but perhaps in regular light it looks differently. I still maintain that less is better for growing.

Not sure what your prob is but its not overferting,Ive had plants that looked exactly like yours. I treat with VF-11 and within a week they were thriving,I use it as foliar and in soil. It fixes sick plants and makes healthy plants thrive,been using for 30+ yearsThank you that helps a lot. I did flush last watering so I will go light on the nutes
The soil is 7 for ph. I'm sorry I confused you. The water I flushed with was 6.4Looks like pH issues to me. 6.4 is a little low for soil, in my experience esp. Foxfarm soil, 6.8 to 7.3 is the normal threshold. I don't use RO water, though, and never have/will, so my experience may differ.
I also only use tap water that has sat out 24 hours or moreThe soil is 7 for ph. I'm sorry I confused you. The water I flushed with was 6.4
