I'm a bit worried about this WW here, been taking pretty good care of her but i dont know if she's getting nute burn or if maybe those leaves are just falling off cause there not bud sites or what. Anyways i need some help on how to treat her cause she's 5 weeks into flowering now and she's pretty close to the finish line, dont want to kill her off. Could use some help ASAP. thanks.
is this plant dying?
- Thread starter Scoob's
- Start date
wouldnt the leafs up on top be burned first though? they are probably about 15 inches away from a 400w hps bulb though, there honestly running out of room. can give them about 10 more inches or so but thats it. i think i did forget to move my fan up on my ballast so its not blowing directly on the bulb but underneath it. maybe thats it?

Looks like possible nute burn, definitely NOT light burn. Try a flush and see if it stops

BTW, I think ya got another 3-4 weeks, myself
yeah usually 9 weeks right? Now umm this is my first grow as well so do i just dump 2 gallons if ph 7 water into her 5 gal. pot and i'm good or do i need more water than that. I have really been feeding these girls honestly probably havent skipped feeding them about every 3-4 days. but i been doing that for month and a half now and i guess it just took a while for it to do that huh?

Use 3 times the amount of water to flush that ya usually use to feed.

Dude yer pH shoulda been @ 6 the whole time. start adjustin it down, but do not adjust more than .1 2 a time.

I was going to say too high pH from the pics...only cuz I just did this to a few of mine treating fungus gnats with peppermint oil soap and forgot to check the pH until after and fried all the leaves on 2-7 weeks in flower
and a little light rust spotting on some babies.
And I also have had better luck at pH 6 instead of 6.3

no no i must have put that question in there wrong, PH has always been between 6.7 and 6.1 just wondering if for the flush i should just leave it normal and not add any PH down or anything. either way i already flushed her but i did leave the PH at 7 rather than adjusting it down to the 6.1-6.7 range.

Yes, adjust pH fer flush, and as I said even a pH of 6.7 can be far too high, each percentage point matters here
Ok well just updating that I have flushed her again since the first time so Twice i've flushed her now. second time i adjusted the PH to about 6.4-6.5 but that girl has gone from bad to worse. Her brown leaves have doubled and then some. Dont know what to do with her. Guess her punk ass can suck it up and quit being such a pussy lol. Just letting you guys know the status if any of you are still here.

<<<shrugging my shoulders>>
I don't know how people can be so emphatic to jump on "Nute burn" as your diagnosis. The pictures were obviously not clear enough to make that diagnosis.
Regardless, a flush certainly won't hurt.......unless of course you don't let it dry out and proceed with heavy watering.

I dont always jump there myself, but given the info, and the fact that there is a problem, flushin is a safe attempt to fix. Wen that dont work, then we go from there, unless the problem was uber obvious to begin wit!

I still say it is pH. Especially if you are using drops to check...I found after I got a meter, what I thought was 6.3-6.4 was closer to 6.7-6.8...color is subjective, it it light reflecting to our eyes and perceived by the brain somewhat uniquely.
A very experienced grower told me browning tips is really THE symptom of nute burn. The curling, rust spots, and eventual browning of all leaves is IMO too high pH. And if this is the case...a flush with too high of pH water (>6.3) would not help. If you have lost your foliage, the now water logged plant will not transpire like before and the root zone will be pretty wet for a while...If fungus gnats are an issue, get ready.
