so I'm trying to push her out and get her bigger but she has slowly ate her leaves since the stretch. I flowered in fox farms ocean forest hoping I would keep healthier leaves longer throughout but this happens in soil for some reason. I just recently made a gallon of soul synthetics bloom at just 5 ml a gallon, but it didn't slow down THIS...View attachment 702637is THIS senescence, @rmoltis ? I give them tap water, sometimes right out of the faucet. I think we have mediocre tap water, but the run-off trays turn yellowish white, I think from calcium or calcium carbonate?
ANY ADVICE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Need more info.
How many weeks of flower?
Are all the pistils red or brown?
Are the trichomes mostly cloudy?
It looks like it is either starving or overfed.
I started flowering the late march, so we are only like 8 or 9 weeks in, have no info on the strain but it was a seed I found in a qp of "master kush". haven't fed her anything but water, only nutrients came from ffof soil I planted her in 2 weeks before flower. until just this past week when I fed her a small amount of bloom nutrients.
should be done soon bro...propsI started flowering the late march, so we are only like 8 or 9 weeks in, have no info on the strain but it was a seed I found in a qp of "master kush". haven't fed her anything but water, only nutrients came from ffof soil I planted her in 2 weeks before flower. until just this past week when I fed her a small amount of bloom nutrients.
Are you using muni water? If so, do you allow time for the chlorine to offgas? Although some don't think it goes away -Dan you calcium carbonate toxicity from tap water! tap water is 157 ppms, rainwater is 12 ppms. rain water is neutral ph. tap water is basic ph.
Are you using muni water? If so, do you allow time for the chlorine to offgas? Although some don't think it goes away -
In water solution, at near neutral or higher pH levels (> 6.0 pH) and with typical sanitizing levels of free chlorine ( < 10 ppm), chlorine will NOT “off-gas” but will remain in solution until
Chloramines, which may be present alone or together with free chlorine, represent a more complex issue. As a practical matter, most dechlor agents contain sodium thiosulfate which will remove BOTH free chlorine and the most common chloramines.
- the chlorine is destroyed in a redox reaction with debris or gook in the water, OR
- it is chemically removed in a deliberate reaction with hydrogen peroxide, sodium thiosulfate, etc, OR
- it is removed via photolysis by sunlight or another UV source.
I’m not sure what you want to know, but you can verify the absence of BOTH chlorine and oxidizing chloramines by testing with OTO (orthotolidine) kits, available anywhere pool chemicals are sold. Just be sure to let the solution stand for 10 minutes after adding OTO, since it can take that long for the OTO to react with some chloramines.
From the interwebs:
Most packaged fertilizers carry on the label a guaranteed analysis of the elements inside. The most important of these are the N-P-K levels. N-P-K stands for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the three macro elements that plants need to grow.
- Use a complete fertilizer that is appropriate for your water type
In addition to these macro elements are a group of lower concentration elements referred to as micro elements. These include calcium and magnesium, and in smaller amounts iron, copper, boron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc.
A complete fertilizer will contain all of these elements in ratios that are appropriate for growing plants. There are formulations made for growing fruits and vegetables that closely match the requirements of marijuana. These are absolutely fine for your garden.
I'm using fox farm oceanforest soil and water and when they started looking light I fed with soul synthetics at the small doses, 5 ml of the grow and 5 ml of the calcium stuff, it was AT LEAST 6 weeks before I started feeding, but when I fed them they didn't get better, just continued on a bad path. the rain water I collected off of the roof I'd cleaner so I have "flushed" them out twice and the next time they need water I'm gonna try and add the soul synthetics and hope for the best. I just need two weeks of good veg growth and I will be happy to go into flower. it's just not a good time to do it with them being sick. the one stopped taking up water as much and even after letting the pot dry out good I can't get her flattened out and reaching like they should. the two that look burnt of or hungry just keep getting worse and the one in front to the left is taking it on the chin like a champCheck out the link in the last line of my last post. Ben up at Centennial did a bunch of work with soluble fertilizers and how they work with muni water supplies. It might be a solution but it's not 'how you fix this toxicity'.
I get buildup like that when I use salt fertilizers. Do you mind sharing what you use? Also keep in mind I just saw your single post, I haven't gone through this thread. If I need to please tell me to read up and catch up.
Do you use a ph meter? Is there a possibility of contaminated runoff from the roof? Do you know your soil pH, or do you measure ppm's when you feed or at runoff? Are you sure your root zone is dry when you water? A lot of my non-pot plants look the same when overfed versus underfed or watered.post

perhaps it is environmental as in RH% versus Heat versus CO2? Excessive evapotranspiration where input salts are exceeding the loss of salts from the system via flushing. That rain water will help relieve your plants on ion build up in the leaves. Your indoor so you cant sadly blame the local dam and rising water table. 157ppms is very very low and soft water anyway. Anything under 200 is soft water.metabolic processes took a plunge from it..
awesome work@Stumpy420 how you doing brother, been a long time. I'm back to stick around for a bit and here are a few pics of a bit of what I got going at the moment
