Sick plants need help!

Poor poor plants.

Using a peat based soil with bmo nutes of recomended doses every other watering. Watering about every 4-5 days as they get a bit dry. Temp is about 80, rh is high, they are getting a dehumidifier tomorrow, ambient is 65. Ph is 6.8-7. They've been flowering for about 1 week after a 2mo veg. Veg went fine, now that they've begun to flower, leaves are yellowing / falling off / curling up / turning brown / drooping, etc. Looks like they are suffering from Mg deficiency and N deficiency and I dunno.
Maybe water with some epsom salt and something with N?
Any help to confirm or deny this would be appreciated.

Thanks

i'd say some N def., due to the fact that all plants heading to flower give up the N and turn yellow at the end. try a lil' bit. dont get crazy and try everythin, or you will be out of control.

is there 2 plants in one bucket? what have u added... for fert so far.......trans plant them into a 6gallon bucket.... one a bucket...with fresh dirt... they could be root bond.... maybe try to run some fresh water through it.... a few gallons to try to flash any salt build up in the soil before trans planting....


if ur flowering.... u dont need much N.... u want more p and k....but be carefully not to burn....

Not good if they turn yellow in the first week of flowering. They normally do later on in flowering.

What kinda nutes are you giving it and how frequently?

They may have become root bound ! transplant them to bigger pots. This may help, Normally this should be done before they reach flower , to help reduce stress.

Well, nothing was added to soil before planting, so that may have something to do with the deficiencies. They're only about 16" tall in 3gal pots, should be enough room. After thinking about it, I honestly don't think they got enough nutes in veg; only 3 rounds of nutes, and they were skimpy due to not wanting to over feed on a first grow. So I bet they have an everything deficiency, lol. Gonna try to give them a little of everything later, will report back.

Good idea. If it gets worse after, flush the soil.

Watered with 1 tsp epsom / 3 tsp gig from bmo / 3 tsp flower power from bmo per gallon of water; fed each one 3/4gal per 3 gal of soil. 2 ladies look a little better, 1 looks worse, it's developing brown spots on the leaves and they look like a yellow-ish/green camoflauge, there's what apears to be "small tears" in a couple of the newer leaves. Maybe some nutes are getting locked out?

hey man. at some point your gonna realize that soils sucks. there are articles on here that show you how to start a hydro system for 50bucks (or so)
no soil is the way to go. the plants flourish and youll have -inches- of growth every day. i got started using a huge tupperware container and a few items form a local pet store. check out my journal to see more, and check out roseman's for the how to. its def worth it and in the long run you save time - it grows faster and any problems w the water are quickly resolved.
