Bugs and root rot

[Deadhead91]

So here is an update I made a make shift room I had the foil wrapped around it but noticed it got too hot and burnt a couple leaves. So I got a bigger box to make this room. Also it's starting to preflower and a couple leaves are getting this purplish hew too it and that leaf came off on its own 2 different leaves got that color should I worry?

Deadhead, purple leaf is a sign of a couple problems. First would be cold temperature, you mentioned it was too hot so that's out the second is copper.
the leaf looks like a progressive zinc problem as well but heres the thing
is it only on old growth?
have you check your in and out ph first?
did you start supplementing calcium magnesium?

 

[Deadhead91]

It could've been the cold, it gets pretty chilly at night in the living room and I got a fan going to cycle the air not directly blowing at it but that could be it. I'll try making it warmer but not really too sure how seeing as it sits in the living room. Purple a little on the top leaves I'll take better pics later to show it more. Ph is balanced going In yellow with slightly green and comes out yellow. I did start the cal mag and the older leaves still show a slight deficiency but all new growth looks good. I am a little concerned on the new growth it looks like the claw a little bit.

 

[Deadhead91]

Also i want to transplant it cause the bottom of my pot is still getting pretty water logged. Would that be ok tonight?

 

[Mr.furley]

I think the first thing is to get a handle on you temps, by a thermometer and move it around your plant seeing what the temperatures are the curling could be from Heat or wind move your fan get one with a high and low memory setting on it. and then if it gets too cold at night a Radiant heaters good for grow area no infrared. Got a good digital thermometer is invaluable for this.
Probably wouldn't hurt to give 5 ml of tiger bloom on your next nutrient water both for copper and zinc.
How much cal mag? 5ml?

 

[Mr.furley]

If you think she's healthy and been growing it's a good idea to transplant if you cant get it to dry out but remember transplant causes shock and the sicker the plant the harder the shock, It looks to me that she has improved but is still struggling and this could be the problem. So you are the one that will have to ultimately decide to roll the dice based on your observation and information..
Good luck.

 

[Deadhead91]

On the next feed I'll give it the trio of the fox farm plus some of the cal mag and I did 5mg of the cal mag

 

[Deadhead91]

Ill give it a couple more days to recover some more then ill probably transplant it, but should i feed it before or after transplant. I'll be switching from soil to the coco loco.

 

[Deadhead91]

Also how do I know if the radiant heater is infrared or not

 

[Mr.furley]

On a health plant water 24hr before transplanting. You wanted to be moist to hold together, not sopping wet and you don't want it to be dry to fall apart. I try to transplant on the plain ph water cycle as not to use, waste nutes on a moving plant ( this is my ocd)

 

[Mr.furley]

I think they are also called oil heater, there is no element on them so there's no infrared. You just want to be aware of any lights on them.

[Mr.furley]

How moist is your pot today? When is your next feeding?

 

[Deadhead91]

It was dry when I put my whole finger in I did a pure water flush I bought some partial reverse osmosis water( they sell at Wal-Mart it was perfected phd already )going to transplant in a few days some of the run off smelt like sewer again so I'm fearing the worst and I just watered it

 

[Mr.furley]

I would suggest that if your runoff is smelling that bad to transplant. Try to gently if you can inspect your root ball.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey 91, that water from Walmart is just right, That's what I use but I still check the ph every now and then ,but it's always right on the money. Mr.Furley is giving you some great advice. Good Luck

 

[Deadhead91]

Thank you guys so much and will do I'm going to transplant it tonight or tomorrow were supposed to get another bad heatwave too like 90 for thanksgiving day. Any suggestions on that?

 

[Mr.furley]

You will be ok in veg, let her have as much indirect fresh air as you can.

 

[Mr.furley]

One more thing deadhead91. What grow big, is it the concentrate npk 6-4-4 or the one for hydro with a lower npk number?
