Yellow and purple'ish leaves ?

[Muddy]

In theory that may be correct but we've seen others have pH issues with their soil. I would suggest you start pHing your water to around 6.4 - 6.5, then capture and check the pH of your run off just to be certain. If it is a high pH situation, it could be locking out the nutrients and preventing the plant from up taking them.

Does look like a N deficiency. For a quick fix, mix 1 part household ammonia to 10 parts water. Mist the plants once a day for 2-3 days with that solution. Make sure you mist both sides of the leaves. In a few days your plants will be nice and green again.

My water ph is around 7.5, according to biobizz you dont need to worry about water ph when using allmix because its organic and it will buffer the ph.

Like i said i didnt give her anything yet besides water and 1ml of bio bloom, i thought allmix had enough veg nutes since autos veg is so short, guess i was wrong, hopefully fishmix and epsom salt will give her what she needs, dunno if it wont be too late tho

Well with 2 ml/L of bio bloom the water ph is between 6.5 and 7, with fishmix + bloom im guessing it will be even lower, if the problem is the ph it will prolly sort itself out :group:

 

[Muddy]

I wouldn't count on it sorting itself out. The correct pH is critical and unless you know the pH of your run off, you're just guessing. I would suggest using the ammonia as I previously mentioned to address the N deficiency. Then on your next feeding give them enough so about 10% runs out the bottom of the pots. Capture that and test it. Let us know what you find.



This chart shows the proper pH range for a soil grow. As you can see, if you are out of range various nutrients will be locked out.

Hey Raquel, you're plants are starving...at week 5 you should be using around 1.5ml Fish Mix 3ml Bloom. The All mix will only really feed them for a few weeks. With BioBizz ether the Fish Mix or the Grow are used all the way through the grow. if you want a feeding schedule for autos with BioBizz just PM me.

I know its critical, im "guessing" because according to biobizz i shouldnt even need to worry about water ph. Any reason why i shouldnt trust the company that actually makes the soil ?

If you could send me a schedule for allmix + fishmix + bio bloom that would be great! I've been giving them 2 ml bio bloom, next week i'll get fishmix and i'll prolly give it 2 ml fishmix + 2 ml bloom and then 1 ml fishmix and 2 or 3 ml bloom. Since they are hungry can i feed them every watering ? (every 3 days)

As I previously mentioned, we've seen others have pH issues with that soil, so I wouldn't make any assumptions if I were you. Already you're seeing an issue that could be pH related. Better to know where you're actually at than to guess or rely on something that may not be correct in your situation.

One of the oldest fan leaves fell off today, its the first leaf that actually fell

(This one was one of the pale/purple'ish i talked about, first it lost its green then turned pale and purple, then this)

Does this look like something specific ? I already started feeding it fishmix with bio bloom and my ph is around 6.5 so i dunno what else could be the problem :no:

This one still needs 3 weeks to finish and she only had 4 big fan leaves to power her, now they are 3, the 2nd leaf from this node will have the same fate, the other 2 are in the next floor, they have some purple but they still look green'ish, at least for now

Hi Raquel

The leaf looks to me likes it's eaten itselft to death, if you still have three weeks left then the most likely causes are you've had a nute lockout because the soil ph was off and the plant couldnt take the nutes, so it ate itself - or it's been underfed and again, eaten itself.

I'm not adding anything new here really. Muddy and Hazy are 2 of the most experienced growers here that you could hope to have chime in and i'm pretty sure they've got it spot on.

I used Allmix for my first second and probably third grow and encountered small to large problems with all of them - not to say it's bad soil, i just changed to light mix becuase i wanted more "control" of what the plants were getting.
Also getting the soil PH "theroy and execution" took me a while to get my head around, and once i did i started getting some success.

the PH pen is my beloved peice of kit that i couldn't grow wothout.

Fingers crossed for your lady and a safe finish!
All the best

Yea, yield will prolly be crap but oh well, its my first grow and i have more plants WTF is that

I think the buds look good tho :drool:

I have 4 new seedlings that are currently 1 week old, im gonna start feeding in the 2nd or 3rd week instead of waiting so long like i did with this one, im almost sure that was the problem

She looks good mate! For a first grow, the goalpost has got to be set at completing to harvest and getting some bud

And that looks pretty nice to me ^_^ It's got some filling out to do over the next couple of weeks and i'm sure it will!
Yea, i bought 50 litres of the allmix the first time round, so stuck with it too for a few grows, it's definately possible to get some great results with it, i just thinking it's a little misleading to new growers as an "easy" option. (well, i know it was for me!! )
