Lovely Ladies - I am a newbie here too so not too much advice but I shall recite some Marijuana Mantras for your plants tonight as I burn CannaInscence - Aganja

Hey Aganja, thanks for stopping by and your support, much appreciated!!!

May your pH alway be balanced..

Trouble

Hello everyone,

sorry if I keep bothering you with this issue but I'm starting to fear that 3 of my ladies might be sick.. They're all automarias and they've been growing slower since the beginning but now the leaves are turning a bit darker, twisted a lightly stained (pics below). Any idea what's going on? I'm out of ideas..

Sick?

Also, it got super chilly here all of a sudden, do you think it would be alright to turn off the fans during lights off?

A good one for comparison

pics are easyer to diagnose when there in natural light ?

The plants are on day 14, part of a mixed group of 16. The others are peachy, but this 3 seem to be suffering..

how often do you water,If i may ask.

 

[natty_dreadie]

Indeed you may, and thanks for doing it!

Ever since the beginning I watered them 5 times, roughly at 4 days intervals (day1/3/5/10/14), at the beginning I was over-watering them a bit I believe (each plant wad getting about 6000ml of water, ph tested 6.3 @24 C, very little rootfast and terraleaves in the mix.. about .3ml/l), you can see the story unfold in the previous posts. Then Muddy corrected me, so I waited a bit in between watering 3 to 4 and also fed them less water, about 400ml each. They really seemed to love the watering on day 10..
Last time was today with one last dose of rootfast (3ml/l) and terraleaves (3ml/l). About 1/10th of the water given came out from the bottom and I drained it.

Perhaps I should add that we had a temperature drop in the past couple of days, but the trouble with this ladies begun before me thinks..

Thanks for taking the time goauto!

the lower temps are gonna make drying out take longer maybe try to wait 5 days between waterings.......I'm guessing they started with deformed leaves..if not maybe a pest... one more thing have you tested the ph of your soil.this will help with that if not

Rough Calculation Guide:

here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

6.5 ph is optimum for soil heres some charts

Thanks for the good info goauto!

Unfortunately I was testing pH just with the drops, tap water here is full green, I lower it (after adding nutes) to yellow with a hint of green (hence the 6.3 guess on my last post). I think the next investment should be a proper reader but I'm a bit short on cash.. You think I can do without?

Also, I drained all the runoff so I have no way of testing it this time around.. Will certainly do in 5 days unless I get a soil pH reader before that..

I'll post an update as soon as possible,

in the meanwhile thank you for your assistance,

unfrtunatly just 1 to 4 points can make a differance, a meter is a good investment, what about the deformed leaves born like that or turned like that.
