I suck at growing weed

With the symptom smokes describing, id suspect a calcium issue. Low or high? You wont know until you find out.
This is why you need a ph and ec pen. For times exactly like these.

I lift the pots and stick my finger in the dirt to feel. i give them a fair amount of water when they need it, but they haven't needed because they had lockout and weren't drinking.

They always need water in a way.. And they will still drink when they have lockout of a nute.. The way i water is i let the pots get completely dry.. Cannabis grows best in dry climate... Ur roots will expand when they get dry looking for water.. Thus making bigger better plants... But i wait till they are almost ready to droop the leaves.. Then i water.. Not a clear full on droop... And when i water i water until the soil is saturated and dont water again till its alllll gone.. Then saturate again... A poor watering schedual can do a lot of harm and even kill ur plants kr cause root rot and then blah

Ok looking at yours nice job by the way .

But they dont quite look on point please dont take that the wrong way .

perhaps there is some nutrient issues
I would have to remember all the stuff in my head and it takes a while sometimes

Things that concern me are
Dark green color
Purple stems (could be genetic)
And the upward leaf curl


Again it looks good this is just me being nit picky to help you find a problem

Thanks bro. Always room for improvement.

I think dark green would be tipping on the point of a nitro toxicity but not quite there because theres no claws.

Upwards leaf curl i think is from the heat of the tube heater.

All these small things showed up way after the nanners.

I appreciate the imput dude

Well said mate. Totally agree.

 

[GoRealUhGro]

Yes.. Like i said a while back.. U def need a ph meter when growing syn... U can actually make the plant uptake more of a certain nute by fluctuating ph... And if ph is outa whack you almost cant fix it unless u get some neutral ph solution or a meter

You're locking out. Your cation exchange capacity isnt working.
Imho i wouldnt feed it anything until you know whether its nitro, cal or mag.

Agreed man.
But i gotta say if I walked onto a field and had no idea what was in the soil, besides the ph and its texture. I myself would use a ppm meter to check to see what i can ammend it with, and give a really good idea of how much. Without having to dig way down for a sample.

Theres no lockout. Just a bit too much calmg. Have stopped giving any nutrients. Been plain water feeding the last 2 waterings ready to harvest soon.

Cation exchange capacity??

Just looked that up. Im not in soil. Im in coco

 

[Tim1987]

It doesnt matter.
Is your soil pedal or a pedal?
Have you done a bolus test?
Have you checked for limestone or clay?
These are all things you need to know, if you dont have a meter. Especially if you cant figure out what you problems are.
You're trying to call out the wrong person dude.
We're all trying to help you here!!!!!

 

[Tim1987]

EVERYTHING is about cation exchange capacity. Its the word capacity you need to understand!
Dirt, coco or water, they all contain cations.

Whos calling out who? Lol. This is the first time ive ever heard of any of these terms man.

I cant see how you could see any hostility in my replies lol

Sorry mate. I wasnt trying to be mean. I understand.
Its just, whether you like it or not, you're begining.
I really recommend you get a ph and ppm pen.
Not only will it make your life easier, you'll learn faster too.
Sometimes advice has to be given bluntly.
Sorry.

Oh i know that mate. Im still a novice. Always learning. I have both meters mate. Always run my ph at 5.8 and ppms this round maxed out at 650ppm .

I just dont understand the terms bolus and pedal. There would also be no limestone or clay in my coco as it is inert.

 

[Tim1987]

I see. Im really sorry.
That fucking troll and his organic bullshit.
Completely threw me off what your media is.
If it were me just cut your ppm back and wait and see.
Im sorry me and the other guy ruined half the thread, and the topic at hand.
Match your runoff with whats going in too.
Feed less, so by the time the coco is dry the nute concentration is in the perfect zone. Then flush it with fresh nutes, to exchange.

Dude i think youve got it completely wrong this aint my thread haha i kind of hijacked it talking to @GroErr and @Cold$moke

 

[whitebb2727]

..how often do u let ur soil get dry.... And how do u water.. It looks like u could use some more drainage ..since u dont ph... And u did a couple mkstakes kts honestly hard to know where u went wrong.. And they definitely look diff from what i thought ..it could still be p def but idk.. I need to dig a lil more @whitebb2727 what do u think of the new pics

Not sure. The new growth looks ok and the upper canopy is flat suggesting they are on the mend.

Its possible they will look worse before getting better.

Looks like they were fed too much p and k and possible ph problem along with salt buildup.

I flushed all the pots yesterday so the soil looks wet because it is

Let them dry and start back feeding with next watering with veg formula at 1/4 strength. I like to mix weaker than what the directions say.

Water until good run off and don't let them sit in the run off to help prevent salt buildup.

You also want a good wet dry cycle.
