[Seande]

Hi everyone,

This is my first visit to this forum and as the title suggests I got here after having some issues with my plant at home.

I’ll give you guys the story and follow with some pictures. Any advice would be much appreciated.

So I grew MJ once before in Europe over ten years ago. They were feminized seeds and all went pretty smoothly. I currently live in South East Asia and here pot is filled with seeds so I thought I’d give growing those a go. Out of 50 seeds only one sprouted but that one’s been growing strong ever since.

The plant lives in a pot that I filled with a mixture of soil, sand, coconut husk, rice husk, and a little cow dung. I usually gave some worm extract every few weeks.

The plant is in full sun on the roof and as it’s rainy season here in the tropics so it usually gets a serious watering daily.

A few weeks ago I tested the PH with a cheap PH meter and it was at 5 so I put lime powder and a good amount of cow dung on top of the soil. I also had some bugs in the garden so I preventively sprayed it with a neem oil mixture. I have white spots on the leaves and stem as well and hoped the neem oil would fix but it didn’t.

A few weeks back I also had a little accident by which the main stem split about an inch deep. I tied it back together which seemingly healed well.

2 weeks ago I started seeing some leaves turn yellow but I went straight on holidays leaving it as is. Now that I’m back the pot is full of dead brown leaves that have mainly dropped from the bottom part of the plant. Higher up I see the bigger leaves change colour as well.

I assume the problem is phosphorus deficiency but I'm not sure. If so, will adding nutrients be enough and would it be a good idea to renew the soil and thus transplant the plant?

All tips are welcome and thanks for reading.

Warm regards

Hello Seande here is what I see...you appear to have root issues. Either pot has poor drainage and the roots got attack by bugs/root rot. If it were mine I would transplant to larger pot with many drain holes. To warm humid in that pot now cooking the roots. Move it out of sun and give it long drinks/flush no more nutes. Goodluck

Hi guys,
so I’ve planted 2 flowers outdoors and one of them has some serious issues. Leaves are getting curly a lot and also the grow is tremendously slower in comparison to the other plant. Seeds are from seedbank called 2fast4buds and this particular strain is Lsd-25. They are in 3rd week. And also the seed was a lot smaller than the other one. I’m a beginner grower so I have no clue what it could be.

Is there any cure for it or could it be some sort of deformation ?

Thanks a lot for any help.

[alltatup]

Siadric You are right, FastBuds is totally reputable; I just had never heard of the seller before.

[Qwertywill]

How much have you been watering them?

[Siadric]

In the morning about 200 ml and in the evening 300 ml.

[optus]

Week 14 flowering, all of a sudden it started shooting up these white fox tails. I'm not sure if I should wait or harvest asap. My first time growing DWC, sativa 2 month vegg
Help please

[SoOrbudgal]

I don't grow in DWC but those look ready? How are the trichs looking do you have a scope? Are lights to close hows the temps leaf showing abit of curl?

[alltatup]

I dont see any white pistils. She looks fabulous.

[optus]

I checked trichomes 50% amber, the rest milky- I think it's time I was just confused because it looked as if it started to grow more bud on top of already formed buds, if that makes sense.. Lights are around 2.5 feet away from the tops.Anyway thanks hopefully it'll taste as good as it smells and looks
SoOrbudgal what do you grow in? I really want to learn how to grow this medical grade stuff and the best way to do it, as I ended up having lots of fun doing this grow.

[alltatup]

optus That spurt of growth on top is the plant's last-ditch effort to get pollinated. Time to harvest her. https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest

One plant is 6weeks today and one is 4weeks today I’m using coco and perlite micro riser bio grow and then seeweed for leaves foliage now and again every thing was going great but the other day the two bottom leaves died and one fall off and a couple of leaves above that the tips have browned a bit I recently transplanted my oldest which went really well?? I don’t know if it’s nutrient burn or not but I really don’t wanna lose the last 6 weeks it’s my first grow so yesterday, I’m using a cycle timing light 24w led on its own I thought that was maybe burning the leaves and that was at around 30cm but now I’ve put it higher a bit higher just in case at 20 inches which is 50cm with another two lights at 40w each and this morning it’s not got any worse like the other day so hopefully it’s going to be ok

[Johna]

I am a new grower. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the two smaller plants here. All autos, the bigger ones which seems OK are about 8 weeks since germination the two smaller and poorly ones are about 3 weeks form germination. Grown in multi purpose compost the two poorly ones always been under the 400w COB LED. The two bigger veged under strip TL then outside for a week then about 2 weeks ago put under LED as above in tent. Two poorly plants have had two feeds with Bio Bizz Grow and two bigger with bio bizz bloom.

[Colombo]

Welcome to GWE Johna ! It appears to be PH issues. Get larger fabric pots if possible so your roots can really grow. If not use small pillow cases doubled. PH your water/feed to 6.5 at all times. If your grow media has added nutes wait 6 wks before adding more. Check the run off and PH to 6.5 for efficient nute uptake. Some things to get you back up and running full speed. The last photo #4, can you take a close up of the Buds.

[oldjarhead100]

I agree ph issue or root , Im not a fan of growing in to small of a pot some do it ,I think it causes to many issues , I grow in coco and use 3 gallon fabric pots and feed 4 times a day,how far away is your light

[Farmall]

In a growing class I have taken, I asked about rotating the plants like musical chairs,without the elimination, and the answer is ...don’t. The plants can freak out by changing the light they have grown accustomed to. I’m wondering how the artificial and sunlight may have created a reaction?... looks light either light burn or a deficiency...what do you use for nutrient feed schedule

[oldjarhead100]

when I used a tent I pulled them all out to work on them and put them back in different orders never had any issue, I use ageoldorganics and I went to there web site and downloaded there feed schedule,I dont use the amount they say to, I use the whole line ,so whats on the schedule is what goes in

[rangerjake]

If seasoned growers are monitoring this sticky, please check out my HELP post on the board (PPM runoff lower...). Trying to ID a problem that has developed in the past couple weeks and that has yet to be effectively remedied.

[Briank58]

Just noticed this ... dunno if this is a problem or not ... seems to only be on the one cola

[Colombo]

https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabi...ermies-bananas Hello BrianK58 ! Sorry to say that your girl has become a hermi and is producing seeds based on this photo. If you can provide some info on your grow and overall photos it gives a better understanding of what you are dealing with. Good Luck Good Growing !!

[Briank58]

so I should get rid of this plant immediately? it's only happening on this one plant

[Colombo]

As atu stated the pollen is out and blown around. If other plants are with it they also will pollinate only if they are in flower. The easiest way is to check a small bud and break it apart and it will tell how far along the seeds are. Some of my best smoke was from a hermi. That's good you only see it on one plant ! watch the others if there are for the same appearance. Keep us posted !!

[alltatup]

Hi Brian, You can see that some of them have already dehisced pollen, so you may very well get some seeds at harvest time. However, it looks like you are getting close to harvest, so I don't think you'll have to worry about having tons of ripe seeds. This happened to me on one grow, I got some seeds but the bud was outstanding and sticky, so almost all the energy went into bud production, not seed production.

Make sure you give a totally obsessive compulsive cleaning to EVERYTHING to get rid of the pollen, so you don't get seeds on the next grow.

[Briank58]

well, if anything I learned a new word today ... dehisce ... thanks ... how long does pollen stay viable? Once these plants are harvested I'm not going to grow again until the fall. Too tough to regulate the heat in that room in summer.

[alltatup]

I know, I dig that word, dehisce!!! You'd have to look up the shelf life of cannabis pollen. Just spray everything down with isopropyl and water or H2O2 and water in your grow room; it can't hurt.

[SoOrbudgal]

Dehisce...heard this surgeon once tell this guy " you cannot work manual labor else your incisions will dehisce again" 2nd time had to stitch a gut together after the guy went back to his job too soon. True story once had to float this woman in a huge whirlpool tub lowered her down into it from a cot she was laying on put her in all the way up to shoulders, layed flat on the cot soaked her in a type of "betadine". She had " dehisced" her surg. site abdominal she lifted something heavy split wide open I kid you not you could see the mesh holding organs. Had to flush out wash her whole body do to possible infection draining took back into surgery stitched back up good as new. I want to retire......

[alltatup]

Surgical dehiscience, eh? Fascinating! Never heard it used that way--only in relation to pollen or seeds.

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes it was quite the procedure. It was close to 25yrs ago it was one of those cases that stuck with me.

[Farmall]

Ok, ok.... I had to look this one up, despite my superior intellect !

Wound dehiscence is a surgical complication in which a wound ruptures along a surgical incision. Risk factors include age, collagen disorder such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, diabetes, obesity, poor knotting or grabbing of stitches, and trauma to the wound after surgery.^[1]

[alltatup]

Thanks for the graphic explanation.

Grower friend of mine said 'mites', and he was right. The leaf in the photo, left on my desk overnight, the whitish spots are gone, and the tiny mites are crawling all over my desk. I'd seen mites before, but not the 'eggs?' that they hatch from. Treated plant with Spinosad yesterday. Gonna try to rinse off any more 'eggs', and retreat this morning. My tent is set up with a pan that drains through a hose to the outside, so I can actually spray water on the plants from a hose without making a flood inside.

[alltatup]

Good luck with the little bastards!!!!!!!

[oldjarhead100]

kill them all
