ok so the first plant is soil. Fox farm ocean forest mixed with 2 tbs of dolomite lime per gallon. I feed with a ph between 6.2-6.5. No idea what run off ph is but with dolomite lime and feed of 6+ the ph should be good. I've also fed her some molasses and calmag recently. This is only my 2nd grow and I did a lot of research beforehand. Everything was going great until about 3rd week of flower.

This problem is getting extremely bad. I've already lost almost all of my fan leaves and now its moving onto sugar leaves. On each leaf appears orangish dots in the middle of the fingers. Kinda changes color to more blackish over time. Typically the middle finger will yellow first and die and curl up. it kills like 1 leaf at a time.

The only thing I can think of is maybe my soil ph is too low but I don't understand how that could be possible with me adding dolomite.



Strain is ak 47 - 35 day veg and about day 38 of 12/12






Now for my 2nd problem. QQ

The 2nd plant is exactly the same except it's dwc instead. Problems also started showing up about week 3 but it looks totally different than the soil plant. ph drifts from about 5.6 - 6.2. once it reaches that high I lower it back down again to repeat the process.

Feeding with GH flora 3 part. 700-800 ppm or she burns. I added 5ml per gal cal mag thinking that was the problem but I don't think it's fixing it. Maybe a potassium def?

What kind of nutes are you using now?You should be using bloom nutes with higher phos and potassium. Check your runoff that might be off.Keep feeding cal/mag at every feed.

The 1st one looks like possibly a lockout due to pH. If I were you I'd suspect the OF.

I was feeding between 1/2 - 1 tsp of grow mores 4-26-26 bloom nutes every 3 days or so. I actually just fed her today but I only gave her 5ml calmag after I flushed her with tap water. I kept the ph really high at like 7.6 or so. Run off was 6.8.

I don't understand how that is possible with the dolomite I added to the soil. So sad!! Well I got the run off to 6.8 so maybe I'll see some improvement soon.

Still no idea about the dwc plant though. My ph should be spot on there.

There's a high chance I'm wrong about that but after reading so many grows it seems pH is often the culprit of many woes in soil grows.

this was my first and last bag of soil. just finished setting up a new girl in coco. I really need to figure these problems out though. That soil plant is just getting worse and worse. Everything was going so damn well too.

 

[Albert Eimstoned]

The heavy demands put on the plant in flowering can really bring underlying problems to the surface. I'd try to get a soil probe if possible. The increased yields from potentially solving the problem could pay for the probe.

You might want to post your dwc problem in the hydro forum.That4/26/26 is pretty strong so I would cut the dose to 1/2 tsp

If I were you I'd flush asap and then add a very mild dose of bloom.

ahh I flushed the soil plant and fed bubbled tap water with calmag. I'm really hoping the flush with tap water and higher ph will help.
