PPM -?
PH - 6.2-6.9
RH - 30% to 53% if that's humidity
Room Temperature -79 to 88 degrees f. in between this temp day and night due to grow room I have gl-80 grow lap so for some reason it stays hot I'm running 3 six inch fans on blast and one rotating 12in fan with it on low hanging at ceiling and one 4 inch inline air booster with carbon filter

Solution Temperature -?
Room Square Footage -? I have a GL-80 growlab
Pests - None Known

GDB/O.G. Kush Problem: My leaves are curling up yellow with brown spots looks weak/stems look weak as well but my purple erkel is doing fine and all were grew at the same times but my heat was a little higher Ive just repotted them hopefully this will fix the problem my erkel has been left untouched sinces it was doing okay so waiting a few day before i do anything else. Any ideas? please help

Sounds like calmag deficiency. Do you have any pictures? For tent grow have the light on at night so it's much cooler to run. Do you have exhaust fan pulling the air out of the room? You got some fans going in the room but that's just pushing the air around not much exchange.

 

[CannaVince]

Welcome banks to ....well let's see I would also mix myself up a small batch of cal/mag on my next watering or two...they might also be getting tired of the heat...again do you have an exhaust in there?...need to be exchanging fresh air.....And yes please pics,pics,pics...my man...good luck...

 

[00pbanks]

Thanks to all that took time to reply much love to guys I have a for inch duct fan it say's inline air booster on it and i have it hooked up to my carbon filter on top. What would be the best brand of cal/mag if sold together should i get and is it sold at a walmart or home depot kind of on a budget will post pics as soon as i take some pics pictures thanks once again 00pbanks

the bigger plant that is yellowing looks like a typical nitrogen deficiency. the OG kush looks to be in really bad shape, what is the root system like right now? It could be getting burned if you're feeding it, I would flush the OG until your runoff is in the 6.2-6.8 ph range and water with plain water for a few days until you see new growth. Then you can pick up the feedings.

 

[GodSpeed]

Do u always keep your lights that far away from your ladies? I had some of my girls go a shade lighter green due to to intense light them. Id do what crimson said get her flushed through intill run off is in range and start over on half dose feeds intill you see some rapid growth!

 

[00pbanks]

@TheCrimsonK20 or anyone else that can help!

well I just replanted granddaddy blueberry and OG Kush in better soil and brought the ph level down to about 6.0-6.6 range so i was waiting a few days to see the progress. So when i replanted i used about 75 percent water and about 25 percent nuts mixed water hopefully this didnt mess it up so will let you guys know in about a week

 

[00pbanks]

also quick question my ph levels are okay and my nuts are low doeses so why is my fertility meter saying not enough nuts for my plants

 

[Steve McStoferson]

with the plants being that small, they don't need much nutes, and nutes could be the reason why you're having problems. The OG looks like it's burning from too much nutes, it's root system may not be developed enough to handle it yet, I would flush the OG right away, just give it plain water until it snaps out of it and forms new leaves

Not sure what you mean by your fertility meter saying not enough nutes. How are you checking your ph?

 

[00pbanks]

@TheCrimsonK20 I just flushed the OG and Granddaddy blueberry since those were planted the same time as the erkel but as you can see somewhere i went wrong lol but I'm using a three prong ph meter i stick in the soil but it also has on the meter a fertility meter i guess for the fertlizer my current reading are in between 6.3-6.8 for ph but then i hit a switch and the fertility level say's its too little

 

[00pbanks]

Just wondering if my plants are getting 19hrs of light and 5 hours of dark would it matter how I ran it because currently i'm doing 20/4 but would like to make it

15hrs light
2.5hrs dark
4.0hrs light
2.5hrs dark


any opnions

 

[Twelve12]

Ah, with pics we're able to see the problem better. Yes, as many have mentioned they are suffering from lack of nitrogen. Add some nutes 1/2 strength.

Your plant is not recovering well because they are under 24/0, constant work and no rest. Instead of using the new light cycle; 19/5 use 12-1 (12 on, 5.5 off, 1 on, 5.5 off aka Gas Lantern Routine) will provide enough rest for your plant to recover any stress it may have, save you electricity cost, and sustain plants from flowering. Promote 25-50% increase in growth.

 

[Steve McStoferson]

and using soil ph probes are fairly unreliable, you're better off investing in a digital tester so you can test the solution before and after it goes in your plants. a digital ppm meter will tell you how much is in the water so you can gauge nutrient strength. Both can be found for less than $30 each for budget ones, that's what I use and its great.

 

[00pbanks]

Well just finished giving the erkel a low dose of n but then i logged on looked at my pics and plants the one you guys are seeing of the erkel is due to the light its not that yellow but slighty going that direction my hps light emmits a orangish color which the camera caught

 

[00pbanks]

@ twelve will do thanks for the advice when should I Switch it back to 20/4 20 hours light and 4 hours dark

 

[Steve McStoferson]

yeah i notice my hps does that, I'll think I'm getting an N deficiency, then I look at it with the light off and it's just green haha

 

[00pbanks]

Same here when i looked at the photo then my plant I was like okay maybe you guys where right so i added a little n but then when the lights where off the plant was green should i leave it like it is or should i flush it to

 

[Steve McStoferson]

it should be alright but it will take a few days until the plant reacts to it. If you start noticing the leaf tips/edges turning yellow and/or burning, then you should flush, that's a sign that you have too much N in your feeding. Otherwise, you'll be alright.
