I have two strains going in fox farm happy frog. I use fox farm liquid nutrients. My strains are shining silver haze and jack herrer, the silver haze is doing fine but all my jack plants keep turning yellow at first with green veins then eventually they start to get brown patches and curl upwards. The pots I have them in are older and I'm not sure how to tell how many gallon but I would say 2 or 3. They been vegging 2 months or more. Do I just have a case of root bound going on? But also if it was rootbound wouldnt the sliver haze have issues too? Why is it just the jack showing the issue? I ph my water anywhere from 5.8 to about 6.3. Or atleast try cause I usually use ph drops instead of my meter cause I gotta get calibration solution
Okay I'm brand new to this site and having troubles figuring things out sorry. How do I post a photo lol
Yea get some calibration solution and also a PPM pen. I am no expert, but it could be a PH problem or a nutrient lock out. A slurry test could give you some answers to this. Take a shot glass, dig down a bit into the soil and take a sample from a few spots in the pot. Empty that full shot glass into a cup and add the same shot glass full of distilled water. Stir that mix up for 1 min and test the PH and PPM. Give the results of the readings here and we can try to figure this out.
try to keep ph at 6.5. and it could be a mag def. but id change ph first. heres couple inages that may help you out bit better. good luck. happy growings.
Thanks fellas and yeah I need to get something to read ppm. But on sort of a budget cause of it being winter it's my down time for work
I also did a flush on them over a week ago but I had to leave state for a week and had a less experienced person watering them while I was gone. So idk if maybe some bad watering practices happened, do you think it would be a good idea to do another flush and then a feeding on the next watering after?
if ph lockout id water normal. and keep ph at good levels. you got any runoff numbers id flush more if they are super corrosive but i dont think they would be. if its still showing worsening sym past next water then id treat it as def and correct it by adding appropriate nuits may have to modify nuits with addetives to get desired results. but if it s just a nuit lock out there should be nuits in soil your plant just cant use them due to ph.
Yeah I did once before because I was gonna prepping them for flower. But then problems started showing up so I been trying to identify and correct it first
When I'm just using water with no nutes should i try and keep ph at 6.5 and let it fluctuate a little bit when i do feedings? And also is top dressing better then liquid nutes? I'm thinking about switching to cocoa coir it seems it would be easier to manage stuff from what I read
I've been only growing indoors for a year-and-a-half I'm on my fourth grow started just like you I switch to Coco coir had similar problems life's easy now
