diagnose my problem! picsss

selfmedication · #1 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 08:31 PM

Ok so one of my plants is over a month old and the other just under a month
Both are showing similar symptoms
Ive done some minor lst on both so far and plan to do maximum lst once final transplant is complete.
Now i just invested on a grow closet that has 2 intake vents one for exaust and other intake (intake on bottom with fan blowing in from outside, other vent opposite side fan hanging from the top blowing out of the box)
ambient temp is around 80 and using mg organic for now but fox farms soil already on the way

Now i just gave them their first feeding hoping that it would fix the problem but the smaller one has actually gotten droopier, but i did just transplant and water it yesterday. It had minor rootbound, which could also be the problem of the bigger one but i dont have anymore soil yet
ph of the water is around 6.2-6.4, but im not sure where that leaves the ph of my soil
I need to buy some more test strips...
I almost think this is a ph problem due to leaves twisting a bit
any advice would be greatly appreciated!

flush them for a few days dude giving them less than you have been water wise. temp seems a little hot aswel 75 alot better.

when leaves twist and curl upwards can often be heat stress

I flushed both of them a few days ago when the problem got worse
and it even stays a little under 80 (never above) have pretty good ventilation and the lights are about 3-5 inches from the tops
Now i have (4) 26wt and (1) 42wt
I just dont see how heat stress could be the problem here, Ive grown in much hotter conditions and without proper ventilation and iv never seen it this bad
Now my smaller one which is under a month the top leaves have a sort of taco effect could it possibly be just too much light?

i want to say its zinc deficiency judging by the last picture and maybe over watering. heat could be an issue as well

What did you feed them, and whats the recommended dosage?
How much did you give them?
Did you mix up the mg organic before using it? Did you add anything to the mixture?
Its good to invest in a liquid ph test kit, not a test strip.
How much water are you giving them how often?

I gave them Orchid Plus 20-14-13 and only once have I done this and have seen dramatic improvement in the oldest plant. Recommended dose 1 teaspoon gave them about 1/4 of that. And yes I mixed the soil up very well and also added some pearlite
Ive been looking online for a good quality ph tester but im not sure on which brands or if i should get soil or just one for water? hmmmm
Im giving the oldest one maybe a little more than a quart and the smallest a little less. and usually wait for the soil to get dry about an inch or two deep so about every 3 days
I just transplanted my biggest one in a 5g pot mixed with foxfarms

(incredibly rootbound)
But i also considered my problem with the smallest one is related to magnesium deficiency, but my biggest one (Mrs. Bush) i think was just rootbound and a lil hungry!

i don't think they have fulled recoverd from the root lock, as for the zinc it's another possibility. Haave the plants ever looked healthy...?

oh yes this plant was extremely healthy until about a week and a half ago thats when the bottom leaves started to yellow, leaves started to droop and curl like a taco

right now its sittin in about a 2g pot mixed with foxfarm and the mg soil but its sittin about 7" from the closest light right now because im scared its stressin out with all the light exposure.
The bigger one is gettin maximum light right now though and i tied the top and the base of the plant
