Stunted White Widow with black tips on leaves... help!

hatboy2002 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2009, 03:58 PM

Hi everyone, I have been growing a white widow plant for about a month now and it has been through some tough times. Initially i planted her in some soil that had too many nutes in it, and i didnt realise it. After that i transplanted her to my own mix but it was not growing very well. It was definitely stunted, because my previous mix had way too low a ph. With my ph between 6.5-7 the plant has started sprouting much better. The issue is though, the bottom leaves are completely dried out, and the leaves above it are sequentially turning black from the tip of the leaves to the bottom. The new growth is all green but then on the node below it the leaves are turning black at the tips. I have used very little nutrients and have used them for about 2 weeks before the black tips started happening. Any ideas? I would like to get some pics up soon.

anyone have some ideas? I am thinking that it is nutrient deficiency.

Hmmmm, sounds like a phosphorus problem. Which would have originally come from your PH.

Flush it, adjust your PH to the optimum range and go from there.

Ive flushed the plant and it probably is a matter of the ph being way low in the first place. Now it seems the black tips are slowing down, and new leaf sets are growing in much faster. the damn plant is only about 4 inches tall though, after like a month of veg. 2 of those inches though, grew within the past couple days, so i think its doing much better. Anyone have experience with a stunted plant thats been adjusted to an optimum setup? If so, will my plant be able to grow into a full beautiful white widow lady? (it is a female)

I was growing outside and had a very small girl. I replanted her in the ground, gave her love and care as well as nutes and she exploded in size.

Is you plant in a big enough pot?
