Plants sick

[Mdotbean19]

I’ve been on the symptom checker going back and forth so just decided I’ll try to seek help here. This happened after I accidentally allowed tempatures to soar to 90+ after that it’s been about two weeks ago I’ve changed my bulb to MH and they’ve been on a 24hr light cycle with a portable A/C unit. I’m not sure if I’m watering too frequently which I was watering every day. And up until about a week ago I was chemically feeding them with PPM range of 300-500ish I believe. Is it best to just stay with 2-3 days water cycle also I’ve stop adding chemicals to my water.

there are a lot of things that could do that but what I think it is ,is light burn how close are your lights also what are you growing in if you are growing in coco you can water every day if you are growing in dirt you need to let them dry out before watering again coming to this forum is the best thing you could of done you may get 20 answers that are all different so you will have to decide what to absorb and what to ignore lol but everyone here is here to help

[Mdotbean19]

I’ll talk all the help I can get this is my first grow and I’m getting discourage but I’ve invested a lot of money into this project so I want to see it through. Asided from that one heat stress day I had temps haven’t been over 85 degrees I’ve been running my lights 24/7 which again last week I switched to MH after I found out running HPS lights wasn’t for my stage of growth and also the lights measure 30” inches from the bottom light to the top of the plant. Leave are turning yellow.

@oldjarhead100
Awesome comment, I think I'm one of those 20 that should always be ignored lol!

Mdotbean19 welcome. Have you been checking the ph of your water?where do you get your water? What medium are you growing in? Looks like they need nitrogen and magnesium by comparing to the GWE guide or as OJH said light burn but seems like it’s on the leaves further from the lights.

[Mdotbean19]

PH levels are 6.4-6.6. I’m growing In a 20 gallon cloth pot and I’ve just switched to a every two three days watering schedule.

Need a little more info. If you check the question posting guidelines it tells you info needed to discern problems.

[Mdotbean19]

I’m using fox farm potting soil ocean forest. And my grow light are 30” inches from the light to the top part of the plant. I’ve used seaweed 5ml in one gallon of water my well water PH level is about 6.4-6.6 I did add a little more soil to a pot as I didn’t have it full but the last time I watered was Monday and I just watered today

[BlueBudz]

Does that say 83° & 2_% RH?

[Chefbjy]

Humidity looks low in the pic with the hygrometer. That can cause some problems.

Looks to me like overwatering,not so much from to much water but from to many times in to short a period. Let them dry out completely and just water when pot is lite very lite.
Thay look like there drowning,not getting enough oxygen,when soil is always wet 02 can’t get to the roots to breath.
any way that’s my slant on your problem. Lots of luck

[Dutchman1]

Lots of good info here.

Well sometimes less is more. Try to mimic nature more because you are growing a weed and she's done fine for thousands of years without our input. You have good soil and the plant is still alive so try to let her dry out some and turn the lights off at night. She will recover if you set a timer on your lights (20hours on/ 4 hours off) and leave her alone for a week.

I love what I read above about 20 different responses (@oldjarhead100) and how you should ignore some. Very truthful!

[oldjarhead100]

Well its true I read posts sometimes just to see what people are doing and how they are doing it lol ,and the tangents are fantastic .
If you want help this is the best place to be

[Mdotbean19]

I watered this particular plant after I posted and it came back to life I guess I didn’t have enough soil in the pot. Yesterterday around the time of the picture the temp was 81 degrees with 27% humidity. Do I clip the yellow leaves as I read they most likely are damaged and won’t come back?

[Chefbjy]

I wouldn't cut any till you know the problem has stopped spreading to other leaves.

[Chefbjy]

During the vegetative stage, if humidity drops below 40%, especially anywhere below 25%, it can cause problems that look like nutrient deficiencies or light/heat stress!

[Mdotbean19]

I went a purchased a cool mist humidifier. My humidity levels are at 45% now. I read that in the vegetation stage I could 24hrs light cycle with MH

[Canuck147]

KingKush knows - your plants need a little dark time.

[Mdotbean19]

I’ve read that in vegetation stage 24hr light cycle was ok?

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey Mdotbean19, yes you can run your MH, 24hours a day, during veg. if you want to,
Good Luck with your grow.
