Flowering or not??

[Lewbhoy]

Hey guys.. Got a Dutch passion auto ultimate growing next to 4 other strains ... https://www.autoflower.org/threads/multi-strain-first-grow.49519/page-6 ... But seems she has just stopped growing and frozen. I can't think what has gone wrong? Please could someone throw some light on the situation thanks in advanced guys

I can't tell if it's flowering yet.The one with clawed foliage is either over watered or over fed with to much nitrogen.Check your soil and see if it's water logged.Give us more info on your type of nutes and how often you feed.

Its been like that for the past week, not changed abit. May have been over watering a little like you said, soil was quite damp. She's been getting sensi grow a and b 2ml per litre watering 3 litres. She's in with 4 others and all are well into flowering all had same treatment. They are all 32 days above soil if that helps

It's either to wet,to dry,or to many nutrients.If it's not a water problem than hold back on your feeding for awhile and just go plain water.

Thanks man will do! I just thought it would at least be flowering by the time scale and going off the growth of the other plants. Thanks again mate

hey Lew-- we need some normal light pics please-- HID color distortion make diagnostics difficult,... that said, I do see some yellowing on tips and margins,... likely a pH problem in the soil that might be locking out certain nutes,... overwatering does stall a plant out sometimes, smothering roots, poor gas exchange, killing soil microbes, all of which can mess with uptake too,... get us an in-soil pH reading; likely, you'll be using the run-off method? If so, follow this guide carefully; this method is iffy to begin with, but this guide and calculation takes some error out of it- (https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...-testing-and-ph-estimation.41733/#post-928975 )... best thing to get is an Accurate 8 soil pH probe, or something like it..nothing beats direct measurement! once we have this, we can figure out what's likely wrong and get corrections started,... that said, this strain is one of the longer growing ones if I recall rightly,...

If I was taking a guess I would say the PH is high. Low PH usually creates yellow in the centers of the now growth and High PH caused yellow at the edges like your plants. The only time I have had high PH was my last grow so I am not super experienced with high PH and it could be a nutrient lock out from something else, like one nutrient being to high or being over watered. Check the PH of your soil if you can. My high PH was due to me adding too much calcium to my mix. My tap water at home is around 8+ so if your using sink water that could be a cause of your problem if your water is high like mine. Not saying it is high PH but I would check to make sure before any thing else. If you cant figure it out in a couple days than I would recommend flushing your soil, giving the plant a few days with plain PH 6.5 to 7 water and then going back on your normal feeing schedule.

Thanks so much for the input everyone! I will get some shots of her in natural light and check the soil ph. I was always scared of ph problems, that's why I have went with the sensi grow/bloom ph perfect range. I was told that it would adjust the ph for me so I wouldn't have to worry about it being too high or low. Is this bullshit guys?

 

[Joe383]

I don't know as I have never used it. I do know there is PH correct nutrients on the market though so it could be correct. A PH meter or strips are an important tool in growing.

Here's the photos of her in natural light, hope this helps to. Il collect run off for ph this afternoon and post results
