First time grower and now on day 14 they are growing but the leaves are yellow on bottom there's some green on top, it's because I got expert gardener potting soil instead of the foxfarm soil... so now as I've learned the p-h is now outta wack...PLEASE HELP?

[Xconian]

I am a first timer too. I got an organic mix and added my own compost to it. Then once she was accustomed I topped her at the main cola, and literally pruned off all of
My fans (especially yellow ones) and kept 4 fan leaves for about 2 weeks. After that I transplanted
To a final pot after a once a Month dose of Epsom salt for growing plants (organic). Once she was in the final pot I trimmed her down to two top fan leaves (I noticed
They were the biggest and strongest). Then after this trim I got a Vermont made alpaca grow (that’s the name of it “alpaca grow”) and sprinkled one teaspoon around the base of the plant and watered her. Then I used LST (my own way) to get
More light to my bud sites. There wasn’t really any shock to the plant that was noticeable other then a very short (2-4 days) growth delay. She has literally erupted since I did this. I waited about 2 days before each prune, and I only pruned the fan leaves. Some of them were draining the plant and making too much shade from size. It took me like a week or two to get the balls up to do this lol. I waited until I could see
That she was strong and healthy and I literally only pruned 3 at most in one shot. I kept checking on her and noticed
There was no damage or extra shock being done so I continued to do this until the last two fans on top (leaving those) I had bud in the base of the plant that were so puny and underdeveloped and after training and removing shade and sucker (what I consider to be suckers) the bottom two sites literally in half a day grew to the same size as the main colas and had caught up with hairs. This was about a three week process. Most of it done in the first week of flowering minus the topping and transplants. I am attaching pics in the next thread of the transformation. Idk, I know that what I did worked really really really well from what I’ve seen. Once I trained her for two nights (she would stay where I wanted the next day unrestrained) I put her outside in the sun. I still maintain 12/12 and at first was doing 7-8 hours out the rest back under the light and darkness inside. I did this for 3-4 days maybe and now have left her out twice overnight without a single hitch. My goal is to keep her small and contribute all her time and energy into dense quality (hopefully) buds as opposed to quantity. She is a white widow/northern lights clone that was given to me in pooooooooor condition. I had a dude at one point say she looked sickly and spindly, which I will include that pic he was taking about. I disagreed because she wasn’t and isn’t. My advice from what I’m learning, read a shit ton, and incorporate general grow rules you absolutely need into how YOU want it to grow. Mines all organic, and I have had barely any issues, and none since flowering. I don’t use sprays just
Straight well water, the alpaca grow (once a
Week) and the Epsom (once a month if needed). Idk to me she looks awesome and how I’ve watched her grow is pretty sweet. Let me know what you think,
Pics in the next thread I post on this topic

Really need more information. Drooping leaves could be over watered. Pot is too small. Are you letting it dry out before watering? Feeding it? What is the pH and PPMs in and out when watering? Not familiar with that soil. Does it have fertilizer in it? Should start.them off in Happy frog soil then move to Fox farm ocean forest in the big final pots. Hope this helps you out.
Happy Growing!

More info = this post is 6 years old, yer a tad bit late

[Alien3000]

From the pictures does my plant have a nitrgen toxicity ?? Or what makes the leaves curlling down please i am using putting mix of peatmoss and perlite only

[hiner]

she looks great she may need some lst tho it also looks like the bottom isnt receiving as much light how many watts are you running

[Emomajic]

Allen 300 nitrogen would be my guess. Simple plant food and a good PH should fix it. Remember soil is forgiving unlike Hydroponics. Would also consider transplanting soon if you want a better yield. I learned that if your watering more than say once a week your pots are to small.

[BeeGinner]

try using CAL MAG and record your amounts each time. red or purple stems/stalks usually mean a cal mag deficiency is there. sometimes its genetics I read..If your plants arent getting enough O2 the leaves will droop and yellow out. which could be root rot like I have experienced. or it could be from overwatering. These were the challenges I faced not too long ago. PH really matters too. i grow in soil and I keep the PH at 6.5. I noticed my PH of the soil would raise really fast. When I did more asking around and research, I found that I was over watering, the ph was out of whack and my ladies had a cal mag issue. I went and fixed one thing at a time and monitored the results. Taking notes is a must. getting an air pump and some air stones helped my plants out immensely. I like to use microbes to keep the roots healthy. But Im still learning and these were my findings as I experienced each issue. Hope this helped. take Care!

[Bagseedgrower]

Hey guys first post, as Well as first grow. Im having some serious problems with this plant, it is at 5weeks now and it's leaves have curled since week 3, is this "hot" soil or just due to it being bag seed? Any help appreciated thanks

[hiner]

what soil are you using as well as light schedule

[MrGreenGenes]

looks like over watering. drooping wilting. This also looks like the container is too large for the size of your plant. which means your giving it more water because you have more soil. Thus the over watering issue. And regarding your leaf curl, could be the beginning of nutrient concerns. What is your grow medium and does it contain added NPK and have you started your nutrient feeding program yet?

[Emomajic]

I did the same at 1st. but 3 weeks and bag seeds. Try some root stimulator. If no improvement put that one aside and start over. Remember if you don't use quality seeds your not likely to get a quality grow. If u haven't read Nebula 7 steps for new growers please do. I think that's the name of it. There are some simple rules to follow to get a top notch grow and it can be done without breaking the bank. Follow these and u will be a Master before you know it.

[hiner]

shes looks like she has some bites just not sure

[Firsttimernate123]

Hello you seem to be the master here, I was hoping you could tell me after 5 days of flowering whether there male or female.... call me crazy but I see sacs!

[keldog420]

male for sure

[Mullman]

Male bro! Cull em asap

[Bluey]

He cut them 5 years ago dude. You're commenting on a 5 yo post Mullman

[vdhole]

hi guys, i would like some help if possible, haven't encountered something like this before.
i have 4 outdoor plants in soil pots in the vegetative stage and all of them in a couple of days have the same issue simultaneously
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

[Potted]

Thay could b root bound are thay autos or foto’s? What size pots? And is there good drainage? These Q and others help make a proper diagnosis, pics help

[Bosnia]

If its rootbound its easy to notice , if u need to water it twice per day you can consider root bound , but dont think so , people will be surprised how big plant you can grow in a small pot with good soilless medium . Most of the problems occur because of overwatering . How often u water them ? Let them dry few days and see the first signs of underwatering on how many days will occur , u will know then if u was overwatering them , the dry top doesnt mean anything , depends of the pots and medium you use .

[Flipion]

I got some funky looking thing going with some leaves from my latest grow, thoughts and advice is most welcome

Set Up: DWC/ Hydro
- One plant per container
- 10 gal tubs with 6 gal water in each
- topfin 8000 air pump made for 170 gal aquarium
- 1000 watt LED 24 inchs from top of plants, 18/6 light schedule
- General Hydroponics nutrients (change out of fresh nutrients and water every 2 weeks with a water top off the week in between)
- 4x4x8 Grow tent sitting in air conditioned room (72 day/ 65 night) temps F
- 9 inch fan blowing in thru bottom duct (not directly on plants)
- Grow tent temp of 68-72 degrees F
- PH of 6.1, 6.2, 6.3

Wife started these in aero garden waiting on LED and TENT to come in, they got a lil root rot from debris left in bottom. cut old infected roots off when switched them to tubs/tent/LED and new grew in pretty and healthy. a few fuzzy white flies (one a day) was killed gnawing on them until they went into the sealed grow tent. Lately started seeing this weird thing going on with the leaves, Any insight on whats going on is much appriciated!

*Today i took out 1 1/2 gal of water from each tub and replaced with 1 1/2 gal of fresh water and re PH'ed them down to 5.7-5.8 to see if this would help any*

[BeeGinner]

I would say it could be heat stress. try turning your light down if you can or move it further away. or it could be a nutrient deficiency. as for pests, I use fly strips. try 5.5 for a PH. Get some Microbes too. try one thing at a time so you can see what works and what doesnt. hope I helped out. Take Care!

[Flipion]

Any thoughts on this issue with leaves? Everyone seems to be stumped thru out 2 web grow sites

[MrGreenGenes]

Always amazed to see the actual problem discovered. Learning every day.

[Flipion]

@mrgreengenes

I only grow DWC/ Hydro, with the help of these great guys it was figured out of lights being too close and running the agressive veg nut mix. Foil was for a extra layer of light blocking. In hydro no light can enter the res where the water sits or it grows bacteria and alge. per the setup its a 5x5 tent indoors, 1000 watt led and dwc. after raising the light a few inchs and flushing out the tubs and resetting with a medium nut mix they went back to their normal selves

[RyanGrow420]

I had this problem with a cheep LED. It was very strong I had to buy a better one. When I did, I raised it 2 inches from 20to 22 when they were young and this solved the problem. I never thought it being a nutrient thing. My little girls until week 2 of veg get nothing but what’s in the fox farm soil, so they get about 4 weeks of straight ph water no nutrients. I read from That LED is a strong spectrum for little plants to get accustomed to. Especially if your seed room has different lights than your veg and Flower. I grow under a CMH 315w. It’s great all the way. Never will go back to another light.

[Flipion]

hydro, DWC.

it was not doing this the entire cycle of the growth, just recently (last 3 weeks or so)

[Trichomefarmer88]

Huh? Any other symptoms? Are they the leafs infront of your fan? Not sure what else it could be?

[Flipion]

na, nothing is directly in front of the fan but the tubs, the air passes between the tubs and bounces off the wall to create a slight breeze. I had someone mention today root crown rott, not exactly sure what he was refuring too tho and the main roots are all nice and white and pretty

[DankwingDuck]

Are you foiler feeding it anything?

[Flipion]

looks like it may be stem rott, ill know tomorrow when i pull the stones out and check the bottom of stem . hopefully if it is it has been a educational experiance for others also

[Trichomefarmer88]

This lady here is a beaut... week 6 day 3 into flower bubble gum kush clone dwc 5 gal bucket

[Foxytelha]

why do you think the leaves are getting light green on the center of the plant? thanks

[DankwingDuck]

IMHO they look fine . When they grow in they should even put on the color . I wouldn’t stress it unless they start to turn yellow or brown or show other signs of stress .

With that said , if the problem gets worse it could be a nutrition lock out or deficiency but it’s hard Diagnose without more information such as lights medium nutes ppm/eco and ph .

But tbh IMO I think they look just fine .

[Californiakid]

I agree with DankwingDuck. They look good.
