after viewing the abbove.. I still am not quite sure whats wrong with my plant. . Its a sativa from a seed directly in the ground , also live in n. Cal so its getting a good amount of heat-sunlight..it has been healthy from a baby until now in the last few days the newest leaves are yellowing , and also the oldest leaves at the very bottom ..but i havent gave them any thing but water, sun , and love for about 2 months so i doubt its the nutrients from 2 mnths b4 ...do i maybe need to start feeding again? Are they just hungry... Maybe the heat ?it is in the 100+ . Help?

Pic 1 and 2 is about week n a half ago
three and 4 is today
yes they need food bad give them some fast acting food. They are going to start to bloom soon so you want to use something that will get into the plant right away but is high in nitrogin. Try maxsea food, you can get it at the local nursery and make sure its maxsea not maxicrop or any of the other wana bees. Good luck.

I am in need of some help please.....I found a male plant in my grow two weeks ago and it was removed. Now I am finding these balls on my other plants is this because they were pollenated?

I am just starting my 4th week of flowering.

They are flowering really well and I am happy for that........I am wondering if I pick em off or leave them be?

omg whats in my ressi?
That looks a lot like the pythium battle I had a month ago, albeit further advanced than mine got. Could be something else, but looks a lot like pythium to me. (Root rot.)

Do you know the temperature in your reservoir? Warmth will do it for sure. Light can as well, as can putting hands in there without washing them thoroughly first. But with the summer temps, my first guess would be heat.

I used hydrogen peroxide to kill the nasties, changed and cleaned/sanitized the reservoir and everything in it daily, and constantly rotated frozen water bottles as soon as the last thawed. Also had to trim off all of the infected roots; ended up with pretty much only the basic "main" root left. Finally got it under some control, but my house is way too hot, and the battle to keep it at bay was too much. So I finally just switched to soil, and haven't had a problem since.

Check around RIU and also Google "pythium" and/or "root rot".... look up images as well as articles. Uncle Ben is pretty knowledgable about this stuff, as well as several others here on RIU.

I've got some posts in my journal about the battle I had with this, detailing what I did to fight it. Not many photos though; by the time I finished fighting with it every day, I was wiped out and didn't think to take out the time for many photos.

I wish you luck! If you get it diagnosed and fight it quickly, you can likely still save your plants.

P.S. Are those bugs, eggs, and/or larvae in the roots as well? I can't tell for sure in the photo you provided if it's more than one problem, or just one.

I have several outdoor plants going (some clones, some not) and tonight I found that the biggest one which I thought was female has turned up with some male flowers which have opened up. She still has all the small buds growing but I'm a little concerned about this male pod thing. I cut the male part off asap but are worried it was to late and if I was to late is there a way I can stop any damage the male pods have done? Can my plants be saved? they are all in an area about 20 foot square and only the one plant (from a seed) has shown any signs of male pods.
Any help would be sweet,

Cheers

How do you get rid of small catipillars on the flowers/buds, I have read growers using "BT" what is it? what is its Mfr: name brand and where can I buy it?
My outdoor spears are going to get eaten alive if i cant get rid of these dammm things. I can post pics if it will help. also looks to be a bunch of brown caca i keep cleaning out of the
deep parts of the flower.

any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

We are new to growing and we are growing indoors hydroponically. We noticed 2 days ago that we have what we believe is PM. We tried using Seranade but it didn't seem to do much. We read that you can spray with a concentrate of 3% hydrogen perioxide and water. We are in the middle of the 5th week of flowering. My question is if we do spray with the hydrogen perioxide, should it be done with the grow lights off, and if so, should it be done just before the lights go off or before they go on? Will the lights burn the leaves if they are on before they are dry?

Need help with this one asap.
Thanks
Beverly

I have had a thriving garden for years. All kinds of plants and I have not had this problem before. Before I start, at this stage I did not use anything but lighting watering and good soil, no NUTES.

Anywhoo. I decided to a more "fun" grow. I had a 2 sprouts (not sure of the species,the seeds came from a bag of okay reg). I started with training the plant young like most other indoor plants I have grown. They were about 3 1/2" inches tall one had six leaves and 2 staring to poke up, the other 4 leaves that seemed to be getting wider. They were all beautiful dark green leaves and next to ZERO stretching (thanks to a CLF/ LED combo lighting). My temps were stable 78*F and PH was right around 6. All was the same since the seeds were planted. In the matter of one after noon both looked like wilted lettuce. I did notice for some reason the CFL was running warmer than usual. but just turned it off about 2 hours earlier than normal and left the LEDs on. the following day I let the plants run under the LEDS until I got a new Bulb and when I pu them under the new lamp one ended up withering over night and the other is just hangin in.

Are there some strains that are this picky when in comes to temp? Could the lighting and temp changes have stressed them that much? I have some small pepper sprouts under the same lighting hood that were not effected. I'm kinda lost. I was hoping to have a fun simple grow but this is frustrating. :wall:

Life is to short to stress over these guys too much but any help would be much appreciated so I can prevent this from happening in the future.
