Help! My Girls Need Help!

[Bordman]

Hi guys, still fairly new to this.

My White Widow girls are starting to look sick. There is brown spots appearing and the edges sre turning brown as well! Hopefully it's not too serious.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hiya @Bordman , could be various things. She looks pretty dry but that could be caused by overwatering. What's the pH of your soil? You could have some lockout going on. Also what light and how close? It could be light burn. The other thing that pops into my small bean is nute burn..what are you using and how strong? THis info will help the smart peoples give you more educated guesses. CHeers mate, gl!

The brown tips and edges look like nute burn. The brown spot looks like it was splashed with fert.

Hey Pbass Thanks for the reply.

I was letting her dry out for a while after I checked the pH, which was fine at 6.4. I initially thought it was lockout, I had it with my last grow this is my third time so still learning.

I'm using Mars 300w LEDs which I've been keeping around 21" away.

I'm starting to think it is nutrient burn. I may have given a little extra by mistake, I'd had a little extra to smoke the night I was feeding, dodgy knees were playing up so needed a wee bit more ( that's the excuse anyway ).

On a side note - is that you or Ian Anderson(Jethro Tull) as your profile pic?

That or the leaves were laying in soil because I don’t see burn on upper leaves.it looks like it was transplanted recently too

Hi Sgtativa, Thanks for the reply.

You might be right, I think I gave a little bit extra nutrients when I last fed them! I had a little extra myself, silly mistake but I'm still learning so hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and catch it before it gets any worse.

Thanks again

I’m not sure it’s burn cuh.. check my last post.
We’re gonna figure this out buddy

The leaves are good 3" from the soil, it looks a lot closer in the picture. She's been in that pot for just over 3 weeks.

 

[Sgtsativa]

When was the last time you fed?

 

[Bordman]

She had just pH'd water 2 days ago and 2 days before that she had the cocked up feed.

I was going to leave her till tomorrow and then start her back on a half dose of nutrients and take it from there.

 

[Sgtsativa]

Seems a little quick especially for dirt. If your over feeding it’s probably not a deficiency. Pretty small yet, nute burn I guess.

 

[Bordman]

If it is nute burn should I give her a half dose of nutrients or should I stick with pH'd water for now?

 

[Sgtsativa]

I’m not familiar with “dirt”. Sorry. But I would ph flush it and let it go with just water for a week or so. And see what happens with the leaves.

I think I'll do that and hopefully that sorts her out.

Thanks for the help.

Nute Burn 100 %

Nute Burn 100 %

Thanks for the reply.

I'm just giving pH'd water for a few days/a week. She doesn't seem to be getting much worse so hopefully I caught it in time.

I'll update in a week. Cheers

flush and let it dry out a bit before half strength nutes.

Its been a week, tonight, since the feed that I cocked up. Since then she's been on pH'd water and it hasn't gotten any worse. You think it will be OK to start her back on half strength nutes now?

 

[Ycfro]

I think they looked big enough to be on half strength, maybe ;; water /nutes/water/ ect..

when first start off many get it into there heads me included is, more must mean more growth, how ever start saying to yourself less is best.

Its much easier to add nutes than it is to take um out
