I added a fan at the top of the space to keep the air moving. I fertilized maybe a month ago.Have you fertilized for changed anything lately? Turned up the lights, added a fan?
IndoorIndoor or outdoors?
Was the fan blowing directly over/on the crispy leaves?I added a fan at the top of the space to keep the air moving. I fertilized maybe a month ago.
Nah, the fan was above everything, pointed at nothing really. Just moving air around cus the exhaust isnt all the way at the top and I was feeling anxious about stagnant hot air and felt like it couldnt hurt too bad. It’s just a shitty little fan from walmartWas the fan blowing directly over/on the crispy leaves?
My top guesses have to do with watering, and based on how the leaves seem weak and shriveled up that does seem like a possibility.pH problem perhaps?
No feeding, really. Auto flower in what is supposed to be a primo mix and I did a top dressing one time cus from everything I have read autos don’t really need much. I looked at budz buddha’s ‘Grow a plant dummy’ thread for inspo.What's happening with the feeding?
Not that long since I added the fan, and it wasn’t blowing on them whatsoever. It barely moved the air in front of it.Full plant pics of whatevers left.
Adding a fan could increase transpiration which means more nutes from more drinking. But that kinda looks more like deficiencies.
How long between fan added and this?
What lighting and approximate temps?
Where does it start in the plant? And where in the leaf, tips?
You give minimal information here. What did you use for fertilizer? A month is a lot of time to not give more nutes if its a fast growing llant in good light intensity. Maybe your all out of nutes in the pot cause i can jot wrap my head around nute bottle once in a month.
What really happened here?
I appreciate your response, and I agree! It can’t hurt to check. Time to hit the supply storeYou could try a slurry test to see what the soil pH is. That's what I did when I had a plant displaying similar issues. Turned out the pH was in the 4.0 range! -very acidic! I corrected the incoming water to be a bit higher-than-normal (~8.5) and did many more slurry tests and runoff tests until the reading was ~normal (6.0-6.5). After that, I always made sure that my incoming water was pH'd to about 6.0. Once the tests and checks turned out consistent between incoming water and runoff water, the plants began to heal and the growth turned back to healthy looking growth.
Being that most people really overdo the ferts and amendments in soil, I am always skeptical of deficiency diagnosis because the plants shouldn't be deficient. I think pH is a more likely suspect because it can cause nutrient lockout even when there are plenty of nutrients in the soil. And if the pH is low enough it will downright burn the roots! That's when you see that instant-onset of symptoms.
Anyway, it's worth a check! It can't hurt! Good luck! Peace
I’m not gonna front, I let my partner handle the watering because otherwise we constantly go back and forth about whether it’s time to water. I feel that we’re watering too much, my partner thinks too little. I think next time I’m gonna get an auto watering pot or set up a flood system lol…how dry do you let the pot get in between watering/feedings?
I know if I let the plant dry out too much, it will cannibalize the lower leaves for nutes and some leaves just die off like that.
