HELP! Any thoughts on whats wrong?

RobM

I am going back to the question " Any thoughts what went wrong"
1). Your pot size is too small 8L or 2 gal is too small for that plant so next time move up to 16-20 L, around 5 gal.
with your small pot you are having root problems which can look a lot like a deficiency.

2) Ph, you are feeding @ 5.6 ph going in which means your runoff will be lower you need to be between 5.8-6.3 ph RUNOFF. your plants root zone in coco likes it around 6ph in coco.

3) look like the peeps on here that use the same nute(I use FoxFarm) say you should lower it. Good advice as the Hydro store wants to sell you as much as they can, listen to Growers that use it daily will get you better results.

Did your plant grow into your light? From the pictures you could have some light bury, bleach tops and burnt leaves are a sign of light burn but I'd go with PH and small pot first.
Now if this was my plant I wouldn't transplant in flowering, it is putting it energy into flowering and will get confused and start growing Roots again but I would flush with PH WATER AT 6 -6.5 UNTIL YOU GET 6.0 RUN OFF in one go, then adjust your nutrients down, and water ones, nutes ones using the pot weight method to determine when to water then hang on till the end
this is my opinion of what I would do in your case.
hope this helps happy growing

Yeah I should have read all the posts. You give good advice first time I've seen you around. I'm just trying to keep my mind occupied.
 
Really? I've been on for a long time and see your name and posts all the time I noticed we agree on a lot of topics
 
Sorry for late reply. been doing some long hours :/

hey Mr.furley ... Thanks for that. :) Yeah i checked the roots today and yep almost root bound so about to transplant. Yes I know its not a good idea etc BUT its that or more issues down the line. Im 5 days into flower so see how I go. Ive been landscape gardening the last 2 years so i sorta know what i'm doing. haha I didn't expect the growth in the past few weeks that i have gotten.

Ok currently I don't check pH of waste water, I shell start doing so and adjusting as required. No the plant didn't get to the lights :) hell didnt even get close. Most tips are burnt and some leaves have burns around the edge... not many though.

Actually my hydro shop guys are quite good. They have actually stopped me buying stuff I didn't need (least the guy i always talk to.. cant speak for the rest of the staff :) )

I agree about the watering. Mistakes made. :/

Anyways Ill update in a day .. Thanks heaps hey. I know ill make a mistake or 10 but thats the fun of learning something new :)

time for a smoke :)

Well. Some strange shit going on here. Ok i had the plants in their early life in a small 1/2L pot... when it got to the right size i moved it to a bigger one. Well when I went to transplant it the roots have not grown any bigger than what they were in the small pot. its still the original pot size (ill post pic in a sec. i hate typing on my phone :P ) Its been in a bigger pot for 5 weeks at a guess. any thoughts on this? Its quite bound up best I could think of was to tease and replant.. Up until a few days ago it had been growing really well.

this is a random seed and unknown sex so i wont be too bothered BUT in saying that Im not about to give up either :)

Morning robm, like mr.Furley said you need to definitely start checking your runoff, that's how you stop the problems before they get started. So you can adjust. Good Luck
 
your in a tough spot buddy, do the best you can to separate the roots away from each other and any dirt that may be bound to the inner root coil, be gentle, obviously, then replant in a much lighter mix. im not sure what else you can try for the roots except to just give them the extra time they need to recover so they can start to grow correctly.
 
Evening Rob,
Sorry.for a late reply
Boy that is a little mess, looks like it was root bound, circled around itself and got stunted. I've seen tomato plants that are huge in small pots survive after being transplanted so there's hope as far as cutting or massaging cannabis roots I haven't done it I have done it to other plant some like some it's a nono. Mistakes happen to us all, I just the other day looked at a plant in a 4" and went, oh you are twice the size of your container sure as could be root heavy when I transplant, it happens. Good luck with it and keep us post how it does. Keep in mind all the great info from everyone in the thread it will save your future grows.
Mr.F
 
Hey so water run off was 6.2 .. 6.0 was what i feed them with

so the transpalnt with my bigger one thats going well but was almost rootbound has gone well. 24 hrs and no droop or any signs of stress.

as for sick plant. No better or worse.... runoff was 6.1. No nutes other than whats in the tap (off hand 200 ppm i think). That plant never got close to root bound thats the odd thing of it all.... it baffles me why it gone like that while thr other that was done at the same time is florishing (both girls from the looks) see how she goes.

Going to take a cutting tomorrow night. Being only a week in wont take much to revert back (just got to finish wiring my liight board) bubbas gift has a 6 or 7 week flower time i believe from what ive read. Cant wait haha. Waiting to cure is going to be a mongrel :)

anyways again thanks so much for your assistance. Ill uodate on sickie tomorrow night :)

i think next time ill do a grow log to keep track of everything
 
Been doing some thinking... coukd gnats cause this damage? I made a mistake i think.. when i mixxed a brick of coco and perlite together i used what i needed and lwft the rest outside. When i repotted i added more and used the stuff that had been sitting outside.... i have a few gnats flying around my tent.

just a thought. Still looking sick. One of my others is a boy... least 1 is flourishing haha :)

as the pythons say... always look on the bright side of life ;)
 
U just have a case of nute burn. All the tips of ur leaves look yellow to brown and some are curling that means its nute burn, lower ur ppm to 600-800 and ull be fine ph 6.5. Ur effected leaves will not go back to normal, if u can afford to loose em pluck em off. If ur worryed about nats get some stray call dr.doom (red can) and spray that in ur room it will kill all insects and will not harm ur plants I use it when I grow outside.
