Mag deficiency.
Likely low pH at the roots.
Dolomite lime to bring up pH. Bit of epsom salts for some extra mag.

 

[Smallgrow]

Thx Bluey that was my thought too.
Treating with Epsom salts.
I’m not sure the Dolomite lime will adjust the soil quick enough for these plants, even in powder form.
I’m going to add it to my next grows soil in advance and hope to keep my ph in the best zone. My water is a bit low at 6.2 6.3 I think it’s pulling it out of range.
Sure wish I could afford the blue lab PH soil meter, I’m not confident in slurry test results. Maybe some day if I save my pennys

 

[Bluey]

The lime will add cal at the root zone immediately which will go well with the epsom for mag as best to treat for both. You can maybe top dress with a light sprinkle which will bring the pH up immediately. I've only added it when making soil and not during a grow. I wouldn't use much just enough to adjust the pH going in into the zone.
Measuring runoff pH is so inaccurate if you use the results to make changes it will lead to bigger problems and deficiencies so go by what the plant is telling you. I'm using recycled recycled coco which is really stable now in a stable environment with stable feeding and getting wildly varying runoff results that are so far out of range if it were reflective of the pH at the roots my plants would be dead and not thriving.

I haven't given nitrogen to this plant for about a month. It's the third week of flowering. The soil is compost and animal manure. I flashed it twice to remove the nitrogen, but the leaves are like this.

 

[Bluey]

Is the manure decomposed before adding it? If not it will be breaking down into nitrates mostly in your soil for many months and continue to add nitrogen for the entire flowering period.

 

[StickyNugsAZ]

Drooping leaves might point to over watering. Do your plants get a chance to dry out between watering? You said you flushed it twice... make sure it dries out between. Not having any N for a month would make me feel the plant would use up any nitrogen in the soil by now. PH should be about 6.5 for soil so check your run off water

I added compost to the soil three months ago. The weather is hot here and the soil dries completely. And I water every day because the plant gets tired from the heat .The soil is very light and quickly drains and loses water. Of course, I suspect irrigation. All my plants are irrigated and maintained in the same way. This plant is like this.

Help - upper leaf tips curling up, brown spots, some yellow between the veins, and some pistils turning brown.

First time growing indoors...last time was outdoors and almost 50 years ago. Yikes.

I live in the newly liberated state of Maryland and thought I would give it a try. My two plants, both fem and autoflower but different strains, were germinated on July 11 and planted on the 15th. They are planted in pots that are probably too small (2 gallons), using a potting mix. My light is Spider Farmer SF 2000 with a dimmer and which I like quite a bit. Growing in an open room with a fan blowing (not on the plants), temps in the low 70's, RH is about 60%. One plant is doing quite well and is sporting lots of young Colas. The other is doing okay and has the leaf/pistil problem.

I think it might be light burn on the one plant so I've lowered it further from the LEDs. Now it is about 20" instead of 14" and I've reduced the power to 80%. Ideas? Thanks in advance. Allen

What if anything are you feeding and what type of medium are they growing in? Fabric or plastic pot? I think you may of solved part of the issues with raising the light but during flower you really want to keep the light at full brightness but for now if things start to look better just leave it at 80% and are you running lights 18/6 and do you lift the pots to tell if they are dry? Lots of questions for ya LOL. PS i love these lights with dimmers

 

[SoOrbudgal]

To me it looks like it was revegged.

 

[MDGrower]

Thanks SoOrbudgal.
Answers:

• Currently feeding a Bloom food that is 10 - 60 - 10 with some trace elements (see pic 2).
• Potting mix enhanced with slow release fertilizer (see pic 1)
• Plastic pots
• running lights 18/6
• I have a moisture meter (accuracy? TBD) that indicates relative moisture in the soil.

Giving the plant a ph of 6.2 and EC of 1.2, the plant is a photoperiod and the yellowing of the leaves started from the bottom up. It’s in the flowering stage and I use Cal-Mag, Canna Boost, Canna zym, PK13/14, and a little bit of rhizotonic (no Canna Flores yet but will be using soon maybe this is causing the deficiency) is grown in dirt with perlite, little bit of lava meel and wormhumus, I’m scared if the yellowing will continue to the buds my yield will be significantly decreased so I need to know, how to solve this problem?

 

[Bluey]

You have started to flower so I'd be upping your EC higher to the recommended amount, 1.6 or whatever the nute manufacturer says for flower/bloom nutes.
The yellowing appears to be because of an N deficiency but you don't want to be giving it more N right now...give it more of the flower nutes and you should be fine...

Help! Is something going on with the curling leaves and tips? I started giving it some Epsom salt (1/4 tablespoon)/liter of water. Using Advanced Nutrients Micro, Grow, and Bloom. Watering about 1 liter every other day. It’s an OG Kush auto in FF Happy Frog soil, 10 gallon fabric pot, 2x2 grow rent, SF1000 LED light at 80 intensity, oscillating fan, exhaust fan on med high. Maybe light too close or intensity too high. Raised lightfrom14” to 17”. Watering 1000ml every other day but started every day since Saturday. pH is 5.9-6.0.

 

[Rwise]

What is the temps? Looks to be heat and/or light stress

 

[Smallgrow]

I would look at that light distance 17” is pretty close I think. Seems to me that those taco leaves are the plant trying to protect itself from the light intensity.

PH is low if you’re growing in “soil” as opposed to coco. 6.5 -6.8 is better.
Moving into flower problems will occur more easily than during veg

 

[jamaicajoe]

I’ll try moving a few more inches up. Temp is 79 and humidity is 55.

 

[jamaicajoe]

What do you mean by EC? Thanks for the info.

 

[jamaicajoe]

Does anyone think I need to flush? I have someone on Facebook recommending a 6 gal flush then a feed with 3 gal and a light dose of nutrients.

 

[Bluey]

I don't think it is the light or the heat.
Light stress would only be effecting the top leaves, yours are taco-ing all the way down with hardening margins too.
If you do a proper leaf analysis of those symptoms what do you find?
Your pH meter is not of good quality. Do you have calibration solution and what's it reading?
You need to read up about EC...it refers to the electrical conductivity of the solution you are watering your plants with and you need to know this so you can calculate how much nute solution you need to add to the water..
