Harlequin Ac/dc New Clone Issues

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by MaineOm, Sep 22, 2014.

  1. I just got some new clones that aren't looking so hot (or perhaps too hot). I received the clones about a week ago and noticed immediately that the AC/DC was spindly with twisted, clawed leaves.

    The Harlequin clone had dense leafing, but her leaves looked dry, crispy, and their edges curled upward.

    Both plants had very small leaves but were tall (AC/DC was about 20" and the Harlequin was about 17"). The plants are growing in 6" square pots in a 50/50 mix of perlite and coco. The medium was VERY dry when I received the plants.
     
    After much reading I assumed the plants had been nuked with nitrogen causing toxicity. I flushed the plants with pH 5.8 water two times. I then tested the coco pH at 6.5. The plants are currently under an 18" 4-t5 light with a gentle fan across the plant tops. The rh in the 2X4 tent is 41% with a daytime temp of 80 and a night temp of 70-75. I am about to add a SolarFlare 220 LED to the tent (once the plants are looking better). 
     
    Yesterday I gave the plants their first feeding. I am using Roots Buddha Grow at EC 1 and pH 5.5. Today the new growth on the AC/DC is starting to eagle claw.  IMG_0216.JPG
     
    The new Harlequin leaves don't look too happy either: IMG_0209.JPG
     
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

     
  2. Could this be a Broad Mite infestation?
     
     
  3. Nah, you need to get your ph down, run-off should test 5.8
