Gent's....I'll be happy to bring along anything that you'd like. Good bud, 20 yr old scotch, apple cider, coffee, Geritol, Zig-Zag's, hearing aid batteries. You name it! I'm just happy that I'm being given such a warm welcome and won't have to go and start up a new thread called The Hill - Over 40 But Not Yet 50 Club.

I think that a lot of old folks are having trouble finding the over 50 club. but of course we can't find our own cars in the Walmart parking lot either!

HAY, HOW'S EVERYONE? BEEN TOKIN SINCE LATE 60'S , LID'S ABOUNDJUST A QUICK QUESTION . I GOT TWO INDICA AND ONE SATAVIA, ALL LOOKIN GOOD 7WKS ALMOST 8 FLOWERING, BUT LEAVES TURNING DOWN. SOME CHANGING COLOR YELLOW ,BROWN ALL REST OK KINDA DRY. MAYBE NOT ENOUGH WATER ?
Hey SAFO1! It would help to see some pics but let me take a stab at it. It doesn't make sense that they all would do this at the same time since Indicas will mature more quickly than Sativas. The water intake on plants in the heart of flowering can be somewhat surprising until you consider the amount of biomass that the plant is creating in the form of buds! You can spring for a hydrometer but actually feeling the soil down in the pot will give you an idea of the moisture content of the soil. Some folks weigh the pots but that can be misleading because of the additional weight that the plants a re putting on. At this stage you can pretty much discontinue feeding any nutrients more is pretty much just a waste of money. The yellowing of the leaves shouldn't concern you the plant will gradually shut these down as photosynthesis within the plant lessens as it slides toward senescence. My suggestion would be to remove most of the yellowed leaves at the stem. Monitor the new growth at the buds. As long as that new growth looks good you should be ok. After this the first rule of stock car racing goes into effect...What is behind you does not matter! Best of luck if you can post a pic I may be able to help you further.

Hey all subbed on here. Up until a month ago I had only played around with 5 gallon coco grows. a hydroponics shop convinced me to try sprinkleponics. Any of you folks grow this style?

Grind my own designer beans here... about 4-5 pots a day.

No wonder you so cagey! My bride and I have about a 40 cup a day habit. More if it's winter and we are snowed in up here!

Hey SAFO1!iI'm certain others up here will have different ideas but it looks to me like you have a couple of things going on. First and foremost you are way over doing the fertilizers. That downward leaf curl is a sure sign of too much lovin'. What have your temps during the day and night been. That twisting leaf curl on the taller plant on the left front can be caused by a couple of things which are possible in an over feed situation. That is over feeding with higher than needed temps/ humidity. You may have some root burn on that one. This is all assuming that you have checked for under the leaf sucking insects attached to the leaves these in heavy concentrations can also cause leaf curl but I don't think so in this case.
So Holler, what in the heck do I do now, Mister Smartee Pants? Well first give them all a good flush. Pour at least 2 gallons through the pots.
Then I would let them get fairly dry and then water with club soda. What? Club soda like what some people who buy cheap scotch use? Yep. It's CO2 and water it will help oxygenate the roots. Watch your day time temps. The back 2 plants are not critical the front one is approaching a real problem period. Let's take another look at them after this in a week or so
Lastly you obviously did really well during the first part of the grow. But remember plants as well as people go through stages. The feeding schedule that you would use in the early growth period is different than in mid veg. And then it changes again during pre -flower all the way through senescence. It's not all your fault so don't blame yourself these folks that sell fertilizers and supplements are not only good sales people. They also know that the more you use of their product the more you will need to buy. Go back and read my mining the miners post a couple of pages ago.
Now on the upside I believe that they will pull through. I need to rewrite my plant stages post. It will give you a number of visual clues as to what stage your plant is in during it's growth.
Best of luck! I'm certain that another old grower will come through with some more insight. Take all of the info you can get.
