My first grow is looking sick???

EuphoricNoni · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2007, 06:43 AM

It looks like it is getting somewhat sick or so, I cant really tell. Appreciate if anyone can help me out. I provided some good pics on the "sickness."

She is 31 days old as of today, her strain is Grapefruit. I have not fed it any nutes yet, I am using Fox Farms Oceans Organic Soil. I water it using only distilled water. It is under the 18/6 light period. If interested in seeing my grow journal, I provided a link in my sig.

I would appreciate any help, thanks.

I don't know fer sure what it is, but it doesn't look too bad, if it doesn't get any worse. Here's a good link to a "Plant Abuse" chart with pictures. Your plant looks like the phosphorus or magnesium deficiency pictures. Check it out. Maybe you need to start fertilizing after a month with Fox Farms Oceans Organic Soil.

Hey man,

Is this your soil?

Has this plant recently gone through a noticeable growth spurt?
Do you know the soil pH?

Actually that is my soil. It has grown considerably bigger during the past week and a half. If you look at my journal, I have pics that show how much bigger it got so yea i'm assuming it did go through a big growth spurt.

I dont know my soil pH, havent bought a pH meter yet.

Hey man.

OK it did go through a growth spurt. Therefore, I think you could have very slight over fert. Sometimes, the first sign of an over fert condition is an increase of growth and nice dark green leaves. The plant may seem as if it is doing great, maybe even better than usual. Then; bang, all of a sudden the problem arises. Just keep a close eye on them for now. If they get worse, get back with us.

If your soil has ferts in it [which it does] it could get over ferted. Just so you know, "sea-going fish, crab meal, shrimp meal, bat guano and Fox Farm's own earthworm castings" are all ferts. Your soil has ferts in it. Still not sure if that is the problem though. How do they look tonight?
