    - Yes

    5.) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan?
    - Yes I have 6 inch carbon exhaust system with 12 inch circulating fan

    -Always keep it 6.0-6.2

    14) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
    - 6.0 it was 5.5 but I recently flushed her trying to solve this issue

    15) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?
    - No

    - 4x4 grow tent

    18) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
    - 77 – 82 Degrees during the day last week it has been a constant 77….no idea when off fairly cold since I leave the window open to keep it cool..its winter still up here

    19) Noticed any insects in the growroom?
    - noticed a pretty big black spider but that's it

    Your strain:
    20) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)
    - Tangerine Dream sativa
    21) From seeds or clones?
    -Seeds
     
  2. Here are some photos of my Tangerine Dream....
    Ive put in so much effort and for this to happen is just hurting beyond belief...lol very frustrating.
     

    Attached Files:

  3. looks like a Nitrogen def and some Cal mag
     
  4. how would you suggest i go about solving this prob? i just gave a full flush and was thinking of going back to feeding her. the next step on fox farm nutes includes a nitrogen fix.

    So do you feel it is not nute burn?
     
  5. the second photo the leaves are light green with darker veins, this shows N deficient, also the spotting looks like cal mag deficient. It doesn't really look like nute burn, that looks more like really dark green towards where the stem starts on the fan leaf and severely burnt edges with disfigured curling leaves.....from what I've seen.

    good that you've flushed I would go back to the schedule of feeding, remember less is better. Say you have a five gallon bucket of water, then add nutes of only four gallons...this is something I've always followed as a rule, my first grow I used too much nutes, too much light, too much water, etc. BUT they came back to life AND so will yours :)

    ALso sativa dominate plants seem to need less nutes than Indica dominate.

    What week are you in? they appear to be at maybe week 3-4 of flower? is this correct?
     
  6. Thank you for your input I fed her last night with some N exactly what fox farm feeding sched asked for....I think I might go back to regular A and B veg formula with a pure blend bloom formula for future grows...it was a lot easier with a lot less problems.

    What do you prefer to use?

    I would be careful I think the Fox Farm big bloom is a tsp not table spoon.
     
  8. its a tablespoon if you are using big bloom.
     
  9. [quote name='"Wired2341"']its a tablespoon if you are using big bloom.[/quote]

    Ok guess I'm wrong lol.
     
  10. Maybe, maybe not!
