BrownThumb Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 One of my clones just went totally south in 48 hours hours. She was doing great until yesterday morning when I noticed black discolorations on some fo the larger lower leaves, as well as losing some of the green on other leaves (or more accurately, turning from dark emerald green to a lighter green). The lower leaves also started drooping and curling at the tips. I was planning on transplanting her into a larger container yesterday until I saw that she appeared stressed; now I'm conflicted as to whether to leave her alone or not. She's been in FFOF under T8s (24/7) at 62 degrees in the basement (I know, a little cool). Any diagnoses or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jipo Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Looks like begining phases of cal/mag def or phos def. I would try adding a cal/mag product first see if that helps it out, if not add a little bloom nutrients to your feed. I'm doubting is a phosphorus def in FFOF though.

lkline300 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I would try a tspn/gal Epsom salts & flush. I agree with Jipo, you shouldn't be having any deficiency's in the ffof this early. May be too much for your particular strain & now you have some lockout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not monitoring the PH you're feeding it that could definitely cause these issues. Keep your PH between 6.5-7.2 in that soil.

If you're not monitoring the PH you're feeding it that could definitely cause these issues. Keep your PH between 6.5-7.2 in that soil. pH is right around 7, maybe a hair under. I'm thinking the magnesium might be the issue, especially because of the colder temps in the basement. I'll try putting a warming pad under the pot to get it up to 70 degrees. As for the cal-mag, should I foliar feed it or just apply via solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
