No hope of coming back? Never used any nutes,, been organic. My journal ( iggi-indica forum search can't copy paste ) and I swear I had everything set up right. Thoughts? My lease is up in 4 months, is it worth dropping another in the dirt? Should I add something to the soil? igi
No ph tester I mist with distilled water and water with tap water.. Dunno the ph of it. Sphagnum peat moss, Ewc, compost mix, organic fert 4 1 1 kelp meal alfalfa meal. Around 6 weeks... She looked awesome a week ago.
She looks over fertilized and possibly leaning into an iron deficit because PH is to high. Are you in the states, I suspect not?
Indeed I am in the states. What natural solutions could I use to lower ph? Is it too late? What should I do? I accidentally mixed in water soluble fert with the soil before I planted, so over fert makes sense.
I'm trying to figure out your best solution. Thing is, sphagnum Peat has a PH of about 4.5 and if you did the accident thing, then definitely over ferted. But it looks like your plant is expressing a Manganese Deficit also, so with Mn and Fe being locked out minutely starting above 6.5 then the PH could be very high... but on the other hand, if your PH is very low coupled with over fertilization, it would express the Fe and Mn deficit also. So, I'm in a dad-gum conundrum same as you because I don't hardly know what to tell you, and I don't usually find myself in this position. Best thing to do is flush for sure, and to be on the safer side of caution, I'd run 6 times the amount of water through her tonight that is 6 times equal the medium... in other word, if your medium were one gallon you'd run through 6 gallon of water. If you are in the states? Dude in Florida will have soil PH strips to you in 3 days max, sometimes two, with free shipping. Would you like the link? Then, Dude in China will sale you two packs of 80 strips (same strips as dude in Florida) for $1.99 with free shipping but takes much longer. I'll go run down the links.

Makes no sense to me really. Sorry man. All I can think of is no aeration = most likely extreme over watering :/
Looked worse when I got home so I pulled her out. Was my first, won't be my last tho. For this reason I only planted 1 Advice? Should I drop another bean? Add something? Re mix a new medium first? igi
If the lease is up in 4 months it may be too close. Does your landlord plan on showing the place before you move? You have to remember once the plant is in bloom it's going to smell, then when you chop it it has to dry somewhere and it's gonna smell at that point too. 4 months just doesn't sound like enough time to start and finish.
In the future, a good rule of thumb, if it's still green, it's still growing. You could have saved that plant.
lol did u guys even bother to look at the date this was posted april 2013..im sure hes had many more harvests since then

I applaud you for doing a search. Some of these young Blades will post every little question they can think of without searching first. Stoner life is a fine life to live.
