Little help

I'm having bad curling, yellowing leaf problems right now and nothing I've looked up seems to be the issue. I'm not over watering or feeding, I have a fan on her 24/7 and my light is definitely far enough away. I don't have any way of checking my Ph sadly but the only nutrients I've given are all natural things that you can't over feed with and the soil is all natural so I feel like it should be fine.. Can anyone think of anything else I could be overlooking that I didn't mention? I'm 38 days into flower and I don't want this to go south on me this close to the end any help/advice is much appreciated.

I know that makes it easier to diagnose the problem I just really hate taking pictures because I don't live in a 420 friendly state (mainly) and the only camera I have is on my cheap p.o.s phone so I can't take very good pictures.. give me a minute though.

pH is your main problem, plus you need to get some plant food, its probably starving as well as locked out from the pH issue. $12 for a cheap'o yellow meter.

I've been giving her lots of nutrients so I'm not sure why she's starving or what else I can do to help her.. and I'm definitely getting a ph meter before any future grows.

Again, pH causes lockouts. Lockouts stop the plant from using available nutrients.


What I'm saying is if you want better results buy a $12 meter and correctly pH the plants water or else it's likely not going to go well, as you are seeing now.
-Good luck!

No.

Some people feed distilled water but your nutrients are going to change it's pH so you're not really getting ahead of the problem.

To save that plant I would get a yellow Cheapo meter and flush well at pH 6.5, and when it dried out I would begin adding everything at 6.5

got a meter and it's reading a little over 7. Does this mean it needs Ni, Ph, P, Sl, Ca, mag & ml or am I reading the graph completely wrong?

Hi
On my exp used flush ph6.5 and also using humboldts secret golden tree vegg and flowering additive works really great
Using ro water except tab water ,most of nutrients are ph perfect (dissolving nutrients decreased your ph) but you have to used ro water to get the result on ph by the way without ph meter that i don’t recommend.
If you wanna grow in future only go on bluelab combo ,it’s pricy but worth each penny .

Great move on the meter (make sure you calibrate it according to directions) No, it doesn't mean that, it means that you have to add pH down until it reads 6.5.

As far as feeding I always recommend a balanced common Three Part brand like GH or Fox Farm, because you're less likely to have issues than trying to add this or that piece-meal.

And if you do have an issue a lot of people are familiar with problems that may occur using those products and will likely be able to help you quickly if issues arrive!

You say you are feeding natural things that you cant over feed?

What exactly is that and how much have you fed and how often?

Alaska Fish Fertilizer but other than that my friends have a worm farm that I took some worm casting from and mixed in with my soil a few weeks back. I only feed it the fish fert mixed with water once every 3 days or so and I only did this maybe 6 waterings.

I love Alaskan fish fertilizer! I used it for years back in the last century, have never tried their bloom product tho.
-good luck!

Beachwalker, thanks for all the help. Definitely getting foxfarm soil to start with when I grow again. This was more of a grow to learn how to grow honestly and mainly because I happened upon an awesome seed that actually popped and was female so I've just kept doing the best I can for her and learning along the way. I plan on doing like you said and flushing then replacing the soil with something new. Is gh or foxfarm available at somewhere like home depot or lowes or would it be easier to just get offline?

It's flowering it's sending every bit of p it has to make the flowers last long enough to hopefully make seed it's reaching the end
