This keeps happening!

My last 3 ladies have all done the same thing - I move them from the veg tent to the flowering chamber, and the leaves start yellowing, then they'll get crispy tips and curl up and die.

This plant is White Widow, but the last one was Fruit Spirit and the one before was Durban Poison and they all did the same thing (so far with the WW). I'm growing in Big Rootz under a single Viparspectra 1000 in the veg tent at 18/6. They get the FoxFarm trio all the way through flowering. The flowering chamber is 2 x 4 x 9' high and it has 2 Vipar 600s in it. I keep my pH always varying between 6.2 and about 6.9 and the temp stays between about 68 - 72 these days, abou 45% RH. Any help would be much appreciated!

New growth is looking to be the right shade of green. During flower and bud many strains, the sun leaves will begin to pale and yellow as the plant drains them of their nutrients. No drooping, burn, or disease that I can see. It can be disturbing to see the life drain from them but in my opinion it's just natural aging.

Are you following the fox farm schedule or doing it on your own?

You need to lower your pH more. For soil you want it between 5.5-6.5. From my personal experience they like it closer to 6. Are you only feeding during flower? If you're not feeding through veg, then that very well could be the issue along with the pH.

I'll have to disagree with that PH range, for soil 6.0-7.0

How far are the lights from the plants? I have a Greasy Grapes that looks yellow, but lower growth is correct green, the under side of the leaves are purple. I think mine to be light fade from the LED.

Rwise is right. Soil is 6.0-7.0 so the Ph is on spot

Yeah I was high when I posted this and put hydro/coco ranges because I've been looking into a coco grow. 😂

dphipps1020 You made me laugh out loud. Aaaah yes, gardening while stoned (GWS).

Thanks y'all - I have been following the FF schedule for feeding all the way through veg & flower. The lights are about 22" above the tops. This is the same as the last 2 grows. I'll post more pix as she matures.

Why are they at 18/6 for flowering? If those were mine i would give them a really good drink of water, just water till that pot feels heavy. My fabric pots have large amounts of fluid comes out quickly. I believe in alot of cases the watering just run out the side before it really soaks the medium and gets to roots. It's more time consuming pouring slower allowing to absorb. I'm doing this now also cause dry air trying to keep humidity more stable. I think 22" is good also. :smile:

 

[CaptainWiese91]

That was my first thought 🤣👍🏻 Probably pretty high 😆🤞

Here she is a week later! I think she is in week 7 of flower. I guess I'm gonna try some Cal Mag next watering?
