New Grower Lowryder Mix - New Start

[Marty5678]

No plant is ever ruined!

To me it looks like you've got a few problems,
Nitrogen toxicity, this can be identified by the downward clawing of tips of leaves.
Red stems and condition of leaves may point to phosphorus deficiency, along with some cal/mag issues.
There maybe some kind of nutrient lockout, or ph problems.
I would recommend flushing soil and giving light feed of bloom nutes.
Maybe someone else can chime in and confirm some of this.

Thanks for your feedback. Not sure how its a nitrogen overdose as I only gave her a 1/4 teaspoon of grow nutes each time. All hell broke loose when I switched her over to bloom nutes and only gave her a 1/4 teaspoon. What I really think its because of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and or nutes are old and became toxic. I pinched the bad leaves off yesterday.

As mentioned above I am looking for more opinions just to be sure.

Anyone want to chime in. Just not sure what to do at this point. Should I flush and start over or give extra cal / mag and bloom nutes?

The spots still look like Cal to me but as mentioned earlier looks like there could be a few other things going on also, which i could not say for sure what it could be that was causing it.

Best off posting up in the Live Help Thread, is where all the cool kids hang with A LOT more knowledge and skill than i could ever dream off, they are a friendly bunch who will bend over backwards to help a brother out in a time of need.

I'm just telling you what I see, and the leaves are dark green with curling on tips, looks like N toxicity, mixed in with the red stems and rusty spots there's also something else happening.
If soil has nutes in to start with and you've been feeding nutes that may answer the question, you may have a nutrient lock out either from build up of salt making certain nutrients unavailable, or you pH is off, which is making nutrients unavailable, it doesn't look like there's a pH problem.

If I was you I would flush soil, feed with bloom nutes and cal/mag and see how she goes with that.

I would also recommend posting in live help, they know what they're doing in there!

All good man

I will flush when I get home and give small dose of bloom and 1 teaspoon of cal/mag

I tried to post in live help and site would not allow me to.

Jackson-- this happened right after you fed the first dose of bloom nute's, even at 1/4 strength? no symptoms before that? I see a mix of symptoms, mostly looks like P defc., though Ca can look similar on occasion; I'm betting from the speed and severity, it was a big pH shift,... and that Ca-Mg is 2 years old? Does it look/smell like when it was fresh? They can go bad,..what brand? Whatever you do, don't add more nutes! this will make matters worse,.. most likely, you have a pH lockout of nutes, meaning they have been rendered unavailable for absorption,.... do you have a pH meter? A reading is critical, and maybe even a flush,... here's a guide for proper run-off testing for pH-- ( https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...-for-run-off-testing-and-ph-estimation.41733/ ) ....

Yikes mate, she went to hell in a handbasket as they say lol! I think Waira's got it, I suspect there was some wild pH swing when the bloom nutes started. What brand of nutes and cal mag is it? It could partly be the For Farms soil, it seems to be hit or miss around here with that. Agree it's a few defs, when I looked back at the first picture of spots I thought Cal def, but now it looks like more.

It's not totally ruined, obviously it's still making SOME bud at least hehe. It might be a painful learning project though lol, and we've all had many of those! We gotta figure out the pH. If you want to keep growing in soil, a specific soil meter called an Accurate 8 soil probe will be important to have. I know it sucks to hear about another thing to purchase, but this item will really really help whenever you can get one. : )

That is correct. Within 24 hours the plant flipped out! I am using General Organics Grow, Bloom and Cal/Mag. I was told that you do not need to check ph when using distilled water with these nutes. I flushed her with 3 gallons of distilled water lastnight. I have a cheap ph strip tester and it appeared the run off was 6.0. I`m so bummed about this second grow almost makes me want to throw in the towel! I won`t as Anthropolis said we have all been there. I will dump all nutes and restock. Is the nutes I`m using ok? I am only growing in soil and can`t seem to figure that out either.

Temps are about 72 and have a fan blowing on her. Last grow she got some bud rot so Blue recommended a fan.

I keep reading how Fox Farm Ocean Forest sucks so I dumped it too. I have another auto seed called AK and will try that next. Should I just cut this down or let her finish with no more nutes?

Thank you all so much for your feedback and kindness. My wife is very sick and I can no longer afford to buy street weed. Besides in Texas its mainly hydro or Mexican brick weed.
