I have a fan now mounted in photo is that good placement and i have it on highest setting which isn't too strong if the leaves are moving from a breeze i cant tell at all but do i want to have it blowing on them to where they move?. All my plants are autos and theyre supposed to be smaller in size. If i have too ill put 3rd one right in the door way since ive got 3 goin already. The Northern has a tiny brown spot on one of its leaves in pic not sure why its starting to grow its 3 set of leaves i can see them thought it looks healthy other than that. Moved my lights up couple inches.

Need help, part of the plant appear to be dying, is it possible I need a bigger pot or something else? This is red headed stranger and it’s pretty big. One side of the plant is in great shape the other side has visible leaf browning and curling. Any help would be appreciated.Attached FilesComment

Plant was started in may, pot is 5 gallons, plant gets rotated often. It’s been really hot and sunny all summer in upstate NY. This is my first grow and it’s a seed I found in a bag. I used regular potting soil from my local store and feed her tap water. I did post on here a few weeks ago and someone mentioned calcium deficiency so I have given it a calcium/ magnesium booster a few times in the reg water.

Sorry for lack of info, this is a 5 gallon pot, I do rotate it, i live in upstate NY the plant does get full sun. I’m inexpierenced this is grown from a seed I found in a bag. It’s just plain old potting soil from my local store. I feed it plain water from my tap, a few times I added extra calcium based on a previous ask on this page.Comment

My apologies I originally posted this to visitor messages instead of hereWillycox420 based on your photo's here are my three guesses on the issue -
PH Fluctuation
Magnesium Deficiency
Potassium Deficiency
How to Remedy the situation: (as long as you're NOT using living soil)- Flush the growing medium with 3x the amount of ph balanced water (5 gallon bag = 15 gallons of water) The first 5 gallons mix with1 small 8-10 oz bottle of over the counter hydrogen peroxide. Take your time and allow the water to fully saturate the growing medium. This will reset the nutrient levels in your growing medium.
- Allow your growing medium to dry to the first or second knuckle on your index finger
- Your first feeding should be at half nutrient strength
- Remove all but a few of the damaged leaves for comparison and watch to insure the issue does not get worse and/or spread to other leaves

Hello everyone. If I notice that my plant is dry, with water can I save it or is it too late? Thanks in advance.Comment

Depends on what you mean by dry, if its crispy its dead, if its drooping water it.
IF the roots get to dry they may die and the plant cannot live without them, same for to wet, 'cept its rot.Comment

Please Help any guidance would be very appreciated!
Hi folks, newer member, first time posting. Few years dirt experience, newer hydro (less than two years). Hydro is a bit more involved and quite frankly can be a pain in the ass.
I have been running into this vein yellowing issue quite a bit recently and I’m going a little bit nuts! My initial guess was a deficiency (maybe cal, mag, iron or nitrogen). After going through my prep notes all seemed good and my ppm (EC) was in my desired range (perhaps a little higher than normal with the CalMag but there isn’t any evidence of nute burn that I could tell). Next guess was LED stress. I measured the PAR value and was low (150 PPFD). Here are some data points:
1. RDWC/aeroponics hybrid
2. PPFD 150
3. Bloomspect S1000 LED (qty 4)
4. 32” from plant at 25% power
5. Humidity 55%
6. air temp 77-81
7. GH flora trio with calmagic ( I add cal/mag as I use distilled)
8. EC 0.7-.0.9
8. Strain LSD 25 Auto
9.water temp averages 72 with hydrogaurd
10. PH target 5.8 , daily range 5.6-6.0
11. Tent(s) Spider Farmer 5x5x7
let me know other specs you may need
let me know if cannot zoom in enough and I can take closer shots.
Cheers folksAttached FilesComment

Sorry you were left hanging - I don’t get on much these days. I have been growing in Hydro DWC for 10 years and here is my take on your situation. I really think it’s genetics. All plants are the same, all plants display the same anomaly. What you’re seeing is not normal even for nutrient deficiency or overload. You’re set up and specs look fine. As long as the girls are otherwise healthy and growing well there is really nothing that needs to be done. In hydro keep an eye on your roots as you know. The babies look nice in their clean white tees 😎
Best wishes and Happy Pharming.

High guys lol just checking back in need to know if these look like theyre doing good it looks like my northern lights is growing little hairs??? And its drooping on top i just removed two leaves that were dead couple days ago.. My lights are like 22" from plant with the veg lights lil lower cause theyre not as strong and just supplement my bigger lamp. I started turning my light on veg and bloom so it would deliver full spectrum light not just veg and to bump up the temp in closet.. Are these okay?? The smaller one that looks like its mutated or sumn with all the leaves its a gorilla glue autoComment
-
Now my GG auto is startin to grow flower hairs and its only like 2 inches tall sprout basically,// the northern lights is about 4inches ive transplanted. All but the one BCN sprout. Is it cause i had them on veg lighting for so long that when i tried to just up the lighting by adding bloom setting l.e.d's too that the plant took that as a signal to flower? cause those spectrums were added to its regular dose of just veg setting lights that are more blue? I turned the bloom setting off so hopefully the plants change their minds and grow bigger first then ill turn bloom back on

Now my NL leaf tips are dieing any answers?? Lights are at 18" from plantsComment

Hazyn740 both comments by BeeGinner and Puglover1 are pointing you in the right direction. Burnt leaf tips on young plants can indeed be a sign of nutrient burn, but yellowing leaves and leaf tips can also be caused by overwatering and light burn. Whether you transfer your plants or start them in a smaller starting pot is completely up to you. Some like a fuller rootball before putting their plants in their forever home. What’s really important for young plants is less nutrients and drainage. Over time you may find some strains will do better starting in larger pots and some may not. In the end; you know your plants best and will always have to temper advice with personal knowledge.
Good on you for doing your best and for having just a few of GWE’s many concerned and helpful members pulling for you!

I germinated my autos in plugs and placed the plugs in the convenient trays, I did it that way thinking I could better control water and humidity. A couple of days after germination I placed them in 5 gal pots. I don't think the plants had any awareness of what size pot they were in and think the only difference was in my head. I had success 7 out of 7 seeds. However if a grower plans on handling the seedlings a lot, moving them from table to tent and such smaller pots makes it easier. In the long run I think the more room for root growth the better but I am new at indoor gardening.Comment

3Berries I did the same. After a day or two the thought came to me that I should have added water to the 5 gal in prep for the transplant. Because I used hot soil I water a 4 cups at a time until I see run off every three days.
They are really exploding in their 6th week, 2 inches or so a day, I think the roots are reaching the richest soil at the right time. The only way to confirm this would be to replant in a 7 gal pot. If I am wrong headed about this I hope someone will tell me, like, "No, Saty that is the way GSC autos grow."Comment

Hi All
just getting into my first grow and have a small issue I hope you might be able to advise me on. I'm seeing some brown spots on my leaves, but only on a few of the plants. Quick rundown on what i'm working with:
9 auto's in 3 gallon canvas
3x3x6 tent
sun systems 315 LEC
mother earth coco mix
Gen Hydro Fora, Bloom and Grow + calimag
Today is the last day of week 2 and the light has been 24" away from the plants for the last week when I moved them from rapid rooters to their current homes. After reading the tutorials I was worried about over watering and may have under watered them a bit this week. They were given water when the medium felt dry, however I might have gone a bit light in how much I gave them. I've been giving them 1/4 noots + calmag with each watering.
The spots also seem to be where water droplets came to rest after watering. I've been checking and adjusting the PH to 5.5 - 6.5.
Not every plant has it and there isnt a clear pattern inside the tent. The back two rows contain the four plants that seem to be having the issues.
thanks in advance for the help!
***EDIT***
After doing more research it looks like its probably a cal deficiency. I also realized while making this solution that i've completely botched my PH. I had not been stirring after correcting, which means i've been using insanely low PH water (like a strong 4). Tomorrow is their first day where they will get vegetative state watering, so hopefully its onward and upward from here.Last edited by Obsvr; 08-29-2022, 10:38 PM.Comment

I don't know much but I would lower your lights to no more than 18", also, as they get bigger they will drink up more water so, don't let them run dry. One last thing, I don't know what your plans are but I think 7 plants are too many for a 36X36 tent, My tent is 4X4 I gave one plant away, I should have sold it 7 weeks old but I didn't, to reduce my count to 5 I am moving one around my backyard following the Sun. I could grow 6 but I would have to give up on keeping them a part completely, even with netting. In my 1st time grower's opinion the amount of greenery is more important than the size of the pot. I use 5gal. bags because I want the roots yo have ample room. I think Puglover1 is right about about runoff as well.

thanks! They got their first full watering and they responded as well as could be. I'm seeing solid new growth with very healthy leaves. I think by the end of week 3 they'll be ready to top.Comment

Hi GWE forums help thread heros!
Problem: Two of my plants have leaves that are damaged. I have tried to locate a deficiency that fits the look of it but cannot conclusively say what it is.
Genetics: 9lb. Hammer Feminized by Growers Choice (Bigger plant)+ One unknown bag seed (smaller plant)
Soil: They were planted in Bar Harbor Blend Organic & Natural Potting Soil. When they got big enough I transplanted into 3 gallon fabric pots with Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Each transplant was done with a sprinkle of Great White Mycorrhizae. Planted in 3 gallon fabric pots.
Equipment: 48" x 48" x 80" Vivosun Tent, Spiderfarmer SF4000 18 inches above canopy set at 75%, AC infinity 6inch inline, 2 oscillating fans.
The Nutes: I have the Fox Fam Trio plus I picked up Microbe Brew and Bushdoctor Sledgehammer. Of that I have only used the Big Bloom, Microbe Brew, and 2 feedings of 2mL/Gallon Grow Big. Tips started crisping so I stopped on the Grow Big. I adjust pH of the water with General Hyrdoponics pH+ and pH-. I have Superthrive for emergency use, Fish Shit that I put in every watering, Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses which I have started adding every other watering at 1 tbsp/Gallon, and GH CaliMagic as my CalMag.
Water: I water when I can pick the whole pot up and it is very light compared to the size of the plants and I cannot feel moisture on the fabric pots. After I add nutrients I pH water to 6.5. I check run-off and its usually 6.4 to 6.7. When I water I add until just before the water will overflow the dirt and cascade down the air-pruned dirt on the inside of the fabric pot. I am looking for run-off that has flowed through the main root mass. When I see it I stop.
What do I think it could be?: Based off of what I can see in the plant diagnoses section of GWE I am leaning towards either a Calcium deficiency or I am overwatering it. This isnt my first grow so I dont believe its over watering.
If you have seen this, please reach out! I am new to this community and would like to learn from you all.

It sounds like to me that your adding alot of ferts or different nutes in combination to the already loaded soil mix. I know it's not " dirt soil " but i call it soil or potting soil. I'd stop the additives raise the light and just use water a couple of times see if it clears up. Remove the large damaged leafs. But i'd quit with all the nutes temporairly then gradually add small amounts of growth tea until you do 12/12. Maybe someone else has different idea but i don't use that much additives in my soil mix. -
I appreciate the feedback SoOrbudgal. I was thinking it was a deficiency because the tips weren't burning and the inner leafs were browning. I'll give your suggestion a try. Do you have any tips or links for a good tea and how often to use it?
