Thread: Yikes, leaf damage overnight

I was checking the plants this morning and found the leaf browning on this one plant (p2). Also on another I see little spots on the upper stem viens (p1), any advice would be great, they are 56 days into flower, bagseed, CFL, see pic 3. Should I bother? They are getting molasses water and superbloom about every 4th watering - should I worry about it at this point?

thx in advance -

wow, over 30 views, and no replies.... Is this a PH issue, or something else. I'm noticing that 2 / 4 of the plants are looking less green, while the other 2 are still doing fine. Any words of advice from out there?

Did you just water the night before? Sounds like some sort of lock out? Maybe Ph caused? Tell about water and prep of water. Nutes etc: Curly tips are a indicator of over-water, over-nute(too strong). I would Flush with plain Ph'd water that has been bubbling for a day or somehow agitated for a day. Flush about three times amount of pot, use "Final Phase" by AN, or something like "FloraKleen" by GH. after flush start with 1/2 nutes. then hopefully it's going again!

okay, I flushed the plants in question. They are with a batch that is getting the same feeding ( 4 total) . The water sits overnight, inside, the PH is going in high (7+) and coming out low (5+), but this is what they have been getting the entire time. Last watering, I mixed one gal. up with superbloom and didn't play close enough attention to which plants got it, it may have been these two, but they've gotten it before, so I don't really see what happened here. There's been no re-potting, the temps have already changed around here, they are rotated frequently.....after flushing, should I just let these plants finish up and harvest sooner rather then later?? It looks like theres two seperate problems going on here.... but I don't really know what they are.....

just when I was thinking that it was all dialed in and heading for the finish line.....doh.....

Looks like potassium is locked out.
It's a pH issue. I am guessing that wht has changed is the relation between plant/root mass and pot volume- you tend to see soil conditions much more variable and hard to predict when the plant is pot-bound. You need to flush with pH adjusted water and bring your pH to around 6.7. This is a situation where I personally would use that Soil Syrup stuff in my flush solution (humic acid, pH 6.8-6.9 buffer) but you should be able to do it with water that has been adjusted with pH up or down.
I'd also re-pot into a bigger pot and fresh quality soil.
Just out of curiosity, does your water sit overnight before or after you add the fertilizer to it?

thanks stinky-

since these are on almost day 60, and being bagseed, should I cut these two first or try and save them for a little more budding?

I let the water sit clean overnite and then add ferts or mol. right before feeding.

Bagseed? What the hell kind of bags are you getting!??!!! That frost on the right-hand plant in the pic is SPECTACULAR- especially considering it looks still 2 weeks from harvest. Damn.
Yeah that's how to do it if you feel the need to let water sit out overnight.
Just get your soil pH right and finish out the grow. Don't harvest early- if you fix the pH, they should survive to an on-time harvest.

I know, all five of the bagseeds that I've got going are really nice and frosty (but in different ways), and I already got two seeds from one, so the adventure continues. I'd say that I'm having a fairly excellent first-grow experience..... this site rocks, and with you and others like you helping out us noobs, it really makes it worth while.....

heres a shot of the closest one...super frosty and yummy....

Okay, that one actually looks more like a week from harvest.
I just zoomed in on that highest true fan leaf- holy trichs, batman! That's an unusually large leaf to be showing that level of frost. Hope ya took cuts!
