Leaves Just Browning- HELP

prestons84 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-17-2008, 06:20 AM

I couldn't find anything matching exactly what was happening to my plants, so here you go:

Its only happening badly on one plant, and one leaf blade of another plant seems to be affected. I think it's some sort of pest or something, but I can't find out what. I have 5 plants in my setup all others aside from these two are fine. What could be causing this??

This is extremely urgent, the first plant is rapidly deteriorating. I only have 5 chances at females out of all bagseeds, and I've already lost one. Don't want to lessen my chances even more.

Badly affected plant:

Single leaf blade affected plant:

We need all the info on your grow including:

What brand and type of soil?
Indoors or outdoors?
What strain?
How old are the plants?
What type of lights and how many watts?
How far from the lights?
What, how much and when was it fed? NPK?
What is the medium/runoff pH?
What are the temps and humidity in the room?
What size pots?
Any bugs? Look real close.
Any other pertinent info?

If any of these questions have already been answered please disregard as I cut and paste this for everyone.

Lose that foil too, it's no good.

Check my grow journal in my signature. My pH is between 5.2 and 5.7 right now. Why lose the foil? I've read to use aluminum tape to lightproof containers

People aren't going to be willing to help you out unless you post all of that information in the thread. Thats just kinda how things work.

You want to loose the foil b/c when it reflects it makes certain hot spots that can burn your plants.

Dude.

It is nobody's duty to help you. Help yourself by posting the information requested, and perhaps someone more benevolent than myself will put aside your rude, demanding attitude and help you out.

Be aware that there are likely to be many more questions that you'll need to answer afterwards too.

Just hope you haven't alienated smknVTEC too much with the reply; he knows his MJ and is/was by far your best hope for a satisfactory resolution.

OK man I checked your journal and see that they had spots from the beginning. Did you get your ppm meter yet? My guess is your ppm has been a little high from the get-go. Your temperature on paper is not too high but, in real life, based on your pics, your plants are showing signs of slight heat stress. How far away is "not too close to burn?" I want it in inches.

prestons84 · #9 (**permalink**) 09-18-2008, 12:40 AM

Since no one knows whats going on with them, I decided that they either have a calcium deficiency or a boron deficiency. I just sprayed the plants down with a lime/water mixture and am going to see if that helps. If not, I'm going to spray some boric acid on it.

SmknVTEC · #10 (**permalink**) 09-18-2008, 07:09 AM

Dude thats not calcium or boron. Your fertilizer contains all the necessary micronutrients needed. There is no reason why they should be short on those. You need a ppm pen to verify that the ppm is too high and you are fert burning them. Either that or they are not getting enough N P K and they are under nuted in the macro's. Again a PPM meter is a must when growing in hydro.

I see. Thanks for the reply. THey're looking really bad now. I'll have my ppm pen in the mail today. Can you get them from hardware stores and such? or should I just stick with ordering online (no close hydro shop. the only one got busted for growing lol).

SmknVTEC · #12 (**permalink**) 09-18-2008, 07:48 PM

I don't recall ever seeing them in Home Depot or Lowes. Online is probably the best bet.

Its about 4- 5" away from the lights. Didn't mean to be a dick, just didn't want my plants to die on me and it had been a while without an answer, on top of a shitty week. no offense meant to anyone, I just can't afford to mess this crop up. But anyways, I've ordered the ppm meter and it will be here soon. I hope the plants are ok until then

No biggie. Get that ppm and report back on what it is. Good luck.
