What is the problem...... Bottom leaves, not the total bottom, leaves are yellow and withering up. Some have dark spots on them too. Is the an nitrogen def? Even added a N booster... The ph is at 6.9 in soil and RO H2O.


Please help if you have a diagnosis pot need more info to do so.

Peace thanks

I run soil and try to pH everything as close to 6.5 as I can. With your pH that high, you could be locking out nutes and seeing defs. You didn't mention how old your plants are, whether veg or flowering, and what your feed schedule has been to this point. All this would be helpful to know.

With no more info to go on...I guess if they were mine, I'd be most concerned about keeping the pH lowered. I'd probably hit them with some 6.3 water with a TBSP of blackstrap molassis (unsulphered) and a guano tea. FF Big Bloom as a stand-alone added to the molassis would work fine. See how they respond to that and then I'd resume a normal feed schedule keeping it pH'd to 6.5.

The molassis will act as a chelating agent to help the plant take up the nutes that are probably there, but locked out. It will also give some energy, feed your benes and provide some other benefits as well. The guano will gently feed the plant and help bring the soil back into balance, while being very soothing on your plant at the same time.

Also..if you're not running a regular cal/mag supplement, you probably should be.

Hope this helps,

Max :wacky:

Also transplanting the 4 that are in one container into their each. This way it will be easier to tell the def if there still is one plant by plant....was given 4 in one little basket, barely alive so, kept them going and now time to put into each own container
