Thanks man.I appreciate you taking time to think my problem through.Although i still dont think thats the only problem i have.I guess being a first timer doesnt help because its still hard to figure out whats going on with her.

Well abit of a update.Shes at about 27 inches and bud development looks healty.Only problem is fan leaves are going fast.A couple small ones too..They start going a bit pale and blotchy then go complet77777.jpgely yellow and turn brown and crispy.I dont think its nute burn cause the 777.jpghighest ppm i went so far is 400.(im doing less is more)Not sure if t7777.jpghey are n deficient or lack of light or i dont know.but here are some pics.77.jpg

She did ok this week.A few more dead leaves.Seems it passed its growth spurt.Buds are developing nice.Last nite was 7 days no water so i decided to water.pot was light and dry at day 5.A hour later she was drooping pretty bad.This morning woke up to more clawing and now the leaves are cupping downward.Like its rolling itself up.Water was 6.5 ph about 500 ppm.run off was 6.1.Added bloom and sweet.Now im just lost.anybody?

do you have a drip tray under the pot? If so get rid of it...your soil is holding on to water WAY too long if its taking 5+ days to dry out...sounds like you've got some PH issues going on with your soil...only way to test that is to take a sample of it and mix it up into some ph 7.0 water...let it sit for about 30 minutes...then test it to see where your soil PH is at...I have a feeling your root system is probably still suffocating and your ph is off and just all fubared...

I do have a drip tray.once water comes out i drain it all to test runoff.Pot is usually light at about day 4.just trying to water less.runoff last night read 6.1.I know run off is a bit inaccurate but in the begining of my grow it was at 5.and i finally got it up over 6.I would also think a ppm of 500 is pretty low for the size of the plant.Maybe im watering with too much water.I water about 2 litres and get about a cup of runoff

this morning she looked great.spots are starting to dissappear and leaves are getting color back.I think she was hungry.I also think she stopped growing.at a steady 28 inches.

It looks like your roots could be locked up and not taking in any more nutrients, prob needs a flush and thats probably the only time to flush imo, if you ever have to.

I m gonna give a flush next watering.Dont think thats the problem.Runoffs been 6.0-6.1.Shes had problems right from the beginning.being my first i guess i should be happy i made it this far.Kinda sux but ive learned alot and my second grow should be a hell of alot better.If i could only keep her going about another 26 days.Buds look great and stinky.

Bout 60 days flower..She made it barely.No fan leaves left ..only fat juicy nuggets.Still waiting for amber trichs.She shouldve been done at day 56 but since i had problems from the beginning i guess it will take a bit longer.pics later.

View attachment 1875623View attachment 1875624View attachment 1875625View attachment 1875626Been having this issue since about week 2 of its life.Strawberry diesel.Browning yellowing and dry bottom leaves.I believe it was given too much nitrogen giving it the claw.Quick run down.Half and half ffof and light warrior botonicare pro grow and bloom,liquid karma,cal/mag,sweet.Only used veg nutes 1 time.added cal/mag once also(caused the claw)Last feeding was 1/4 strength bloom and sweet about 400 ppm.was using distilled now using purified poland spring.Phing water to 6.5-6.8.runoff is very inconsistent 5.3-6.0.Added 2 tbs of lime to top of soil and watered it in last feeding.Also using a 250 hps about 5-6 inches from tops.temp is 79 during day 68 at night.Shes growing about an inch a day.today she measured 18 inches.Also new growth is small and deformed.having a difficult time figuring out.My first grow by the way.any ideas would be appreciated.

my advice transplant into ffof and stop using nutes for three weeks. ease off the watering and adjust based on weight of planter. buffers in the water, feed and soil will fluctuate ph. if using cal/mag with tap water you could be in danger. your ph is decent just stop trying so hard and use basic nutes. nutes can raise ph and some will lower it. use karma and sweet as a foilar spray and bloom in soil. relax and enjoy the process:-P

How about some more advice ,get rid of the style pot you have it looks like one you buy for indoor plants ? go to a hydro store and get a 3.5 black standard pot ,next stick with ffof i use it all the time ,next get rid of the meter that will fuck you up ,go by weight ,when you water drench in to a saucer and notice how much runoff you get if it is not much the plant will suck up the remander if to much pour that out you will learn over time how much to water /feed and not have to pour out run off. next as far as nutes go my self i use a tea mixture easy step process dont have to worry what to use and how much NEVER have had great luck with it www.tokengrow.com go look at the page and use the calculator should be cheap for one plant you mix 5 gals at a time stays good for 6 months so Happy Farming ,Cajun
