This is a friend’s plant that’s been having issues. Sorry I couldn’t get better pics I’ll try to get more under natural light. Started yellowing from the top and moving down eventually burning leaf tips and then developing spots. Main stem bright pink stripes and leaf stems solid pink. Bottom third of the plant is very healthy and normal as well as the bud sites but is about to devour the buds. Any advice is appreciated.
It appears to be some sort of disease if all your data is correct - Look carefully to make sure you don’t have root rot, fabric pots are tricky and see how wet it is at the bottom - Poke a nail in the bottom of the Pot if you have standing water in there might be the problem, Try a straight out flush of pure RO water Just in case to flush out,
Double check the calibration of the ph meter before anything else. Although the plant could be starving. That seems to be a very low tds reading. Especially at this point.
That’s the TDS after a flush. He assumed that it was nute burn on someone else’s advice and flushed immediately. The condition worsened though so he added another half dose of FF Big Bloom. Didn’t have a TDS meter before so I gave him mine to monitor the condition. We checked the pH several times and it’s accurate. That’s always the first thing I check. Also most of the yellowing happened very quickly, almost over night. I didn’t think deficiencies show so rapidly
Always makes you wonder what was done before, like someone vandalised the plant with Roundup before you got it.
All of that growth is too far gone to recover. It appears that you’ve done everything you can. If it’s root rot you are out of options, same if it was poisoned. Bad time to happen in her life cycle.
Lol my thoughts exactly. It only has a bit left to go so it’s a bummer and it is a beautiful plant aside from the damage. I figured he may just have to cut his losses but I thought I’d try anyways.
This plant and one other were a gift from someone so I suppose it’s possible they poisoned it accidentally and there is no way of knowing what they did before hand. It’s a lot more difficult to diagnose a third party plant
You look at the ff nute schedule and it can be confusing… Maybe instead of teaspoons they gave tablespoons and it could be nute burn? Just a thought… Ff feed schedule also shows seedling dosage which most people don’t do? @HCHGC
That is a possibility. Since others were trying to fix the problem before I seen it I can’t be sure. I’m probably making this impossible actually
I personally don’t like to use anything I can’t measure in ml or fl. oz. Using either tbls. or tsp. Seems like a recipe for disaster… unless your cooking dinner.
That where the was heading as well @Donaldj and @Myfriendis410 she looks like she’s hungry and eating her self up you should be closer to 1800 -2200 ppm with foxfarms at week 4 of flower @HCHGC
According to the schedule they provide
Thank you all for the help. We’ll give her a good meal and see if she can recover enough to finish out her cycle. I knew it was low but I didn’t think it was low enough to cause that extent of damage. Seems obvious the more I think about it though. Thanks a ton!
