This Plant is sick.. What's up??

[30roll]

The leaves are light green, spotty in color, curled in and clawed.
I have 5 others that I started at the same time that are jammin..

Any ideas??

The leaf hooking is from too much N. The interveinal chlorosis in the second and third pics is an Mg problem — either lockout or deficiency.

 

[mysticepipedon]

It looks like you're avoiding watering the soil near the sides of the pot. That can cause problems, too.

I transplanted last night. I put a gallon on it..

If you give him more details he can help ya better - what ya growin in? Nutes? Soil? Lights? Any ppm or ph values are helpful

OK. You need to get that media completely moistened. when you're done, even the cloth sides of the pot should be damp. Don't worry about measuring how much water you are putting on. Roots will not grow into dry soil.

If it comes bleeding out the sides, try putting the whole pot in a shallow pan of water and allow it to soak it up from the bottom. It could take a little time. Then don't water until the pot starts feeling light.

I'm not sure if you should do anything beyond that, since I don't know anything about this grow, other than you have one deficiency symptom and one symptom of an over-abundance of a nutrient.

Soil PH for all is like 7.75. tested with one of these.. https://www.amazon.com/Sonkir-Soil-...1642722521&sprefix=soil+teste,aps,1011&sr=8-7

That same tester say the soil is WET..I poured it all in the middle to hit the roots.
Frankly these seeds seem a bit weak, growing very tall and thin. I ended up burring them deeper in the original pots because they couldn't support themselves.. I havested the seeds from the one plant I did last grow that went Hermie with Nanners! I let it cook to long..

Media is Sunshine #4, not the Advanced cuz they didn't have it..
Food is Connoisseur that I only ever mixed half strength, 2ml per Liter..
I think it's all lockout because I wasn't PH'ing the regular water for non feed watering.. My bad..

I can take out the pot elevators and add water to the trays to soak the whole pot..

 

[mysticepipedon]

If your pH was really 7.75, I think you would see a lot more in the way of deficiency/lockout symptoms, so I'm not going to tell you to try to adjust pH.

I'm sure the soil where you planted that instrument is wet, but the soil along the edges of the pot are not. Try and make sure that soil along the sides of the pot get moistened, too. But then back off on watering for several days, until it's close to dry. You don't need an instrument to tell you when soil is wet or dry, you can trust your sense of touch and the weight of the pot.

3 day update..

That Plant seems to have more pop to it, and it is growing if you compare the center chute to the previous pic..
The Tent is hovering 77-80 degrees and the Cloudline if maintaining 60% around every 5 minutes. So things are looking up.

I did give them a top dress of Worm Castings and another wack of food with some Piranha Mycorrhiza. Although I gave the Pots a lot of water a few days ago, they werre starting to wilt a bit when I checked them this morning.. It's tricky to water bigger Pots after transplant in the beginning. The Leaves are starting to get a darker green color to them.

Bumpy start..

Might as well make this a grow thread..
The stunted Plants are still pretty much stunted.
The other 4 are catching their stride.. I might just scrap the 2 runts and concentrate on the 4.
The small plants in the back have grown some, but not like the others..

Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it

Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...

Watering SOIL

New Simplified Way to Water Marijuana Plants

The other day I had an idea and after testing, it works great. To know if you need to water, get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot. Insert the meter probe into the hole and test for moisture. If its dry, then water SLOWLY...

Welp, 2 weeks since I started this thread. The main 4 are really taking off.
The 2 runts are growing if you compare pics, but are still stunted. I flushed the 2 with Flawless Finish and PH'ed to about 6. If they don't green up on this watering, they are gone.
I can easily fill this Tent with the 4 Plants..

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

What do you mean 'green up'? Those look fine.

 

[30roll]

It doesn't come thru in the pics, but the runt is pale. You can see how leathery it's Leaves look tho..
The main 4 are jammin'.

I sent this pic to my buddy January 2nd.. They've done pretty good overall in a month..
I've learned from my mistakes..
I probably flip next week.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Flip? What? Those babies? They need a month more in veg.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

What are you feeding and how often?

 

[30roll]

They are starting to drink a lot. I need to flip soon before they get to big. Not sure about the runts yet, but the main 4 are growing a lot.
I tied down the main chutes of the 2 largest Plants.

I was starting to get some light stress where the tips of the upper Leaves were yellowing out a bit. I backed off the Lights a put a heater in the Tent to maintain 75-77 degrees and 55-60% to keep the transpiration flowing. They are coming back to good.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I wasn't able to tell how big they are in the other pic. Flip them now.
