Leaves are somewhat dark, and a bit shinny. New leaves however are lime green. Dark rust like spots on a few. Holes or small cuts on others. New leaves thin, slightly twisted tips. Some older leaves slightly clawed down.
I checked for bugs and got nothing, even with a 60x on underside of leaves, so Idk whats up with the holes.
I’m indoor. Running a michigan blend super soil (great lakes water only living soil). Added a bit more castings, and some neem to soil before planting.
Is a bit dense tbh with the extra casting.
Spring water is all i feed em about once a week maybe twice due to the denceness of the soil.
Although the last feeding I gave them a small bit of foxfarm bloom the last feeding 1 tablespoon per gallon.
They are blackwater og strain one month and 2 weeks in.
Have you been giving them Cal-Mag? Looks like Calcium def. Do you have a fan blowing in there? They are either rubbing on the side of the tent or each other.
Not using cal-mag. I’ll look into it. There is a small fan in there I moved away from the plants the first sign of trouble. It is entirely possible they rubbed on themselves or even on the bamboo stakes. I’m using the stakes to bend down some of her branches.
I’m using the same soil and apparently hurt my girls trying to give them minimal nutes. I’m about 7 weeks in and the bit of nutes I tried to give to help them flower caused all sorts of random deficiencies. I was told by giving them nutes they got too much of certain things, blocking out others.
N is what I was thinking too, just not all of the problem. Its just strange because the fox farm bloom dont have N in it and they didnt show problems early in the game. I did use mycorrhizae on the roots while transplanting them. You think that could allow too much N to be absorbed to quickly?
I doubt it. It’s probably a N rich soil that you are in. I’ve only seen a handful of growers use the soil you are in, so I don’t know a whole lot about it.
Are you adding microbes? That can dramatically increase nutrient uptake.
I read that after. Think I’m gonna stick to water, maybe some tea, possibly molasses. Idk. What strain do you have, you know? Looks like they are doing the same thing as mine.
No. FF bloom only once. Crystal geyser water. Was gonna feed the soil molasses, just not yet. Figured id let what microbes are in the soil eat at the soil for a while first before feeding them.
They look good to me, and welcome to the forum!!. Do you test pH and TDS out? If not you should and let us know… I do a soil slurry test to see what the pH of the soil is around the roots. If you used a super soil, you shouldn’t have had to add nutrients until the TDS out is below 800ish (Usually around flower) . They don’t need much N once they start blooming because it will encourage them to keep producing leaves instead of flowers (I’m mo expert but this is what Ive learned from the awesome growers here) I didn’t see any rust spots on any of those pics (although pic #5 looks like it MIGHT be phosphorus deficiency - I had that and added 1/2 strength Liquid Bone Meal to the water, but son’t over-do it)… Do you have a loupe that you can look at the leaves to see if there are bugs? Some bugs are so small you might need a scope…
I should do that slurry test, I need to get a ph and tds tester. I do not use them but I should. They are small patches of rusty color patches but its very minimal. I’ll look into the phosphorus deficiency. Thank you. As far as the bugs I have a 60x -120x and I dont see any bugs.
Left is amnesia haze autos, right is blueberry autos. There are still some leaves dying slowly but they said it can take 2 weeks to correct in soil. They grow every day regardless and seem healthy enough too bad there is no way to read their “minds”
