What is this?

[ghettobudz1420]

Not my first grow, but not a pro ether. Never had this issue.... but i think I caught it early....I'm using 2x 250w LEDs, foxfarm ocean forrest soil, temp is where it needs to be, good air flow,( my digital thermometer that also reads the humidity level needs batteries so don't know the percentage), it was planted in a pot that is a lil too big so it does seem a bit bunched up... but it's what I had and I couldn't wait to start. No nutes yet but I will be using the foxfarm trio. Seedling broke ground on June 23rd

i was actually having the same problem and could find no real answers under a 60x-120x microscope i could not find anything that seemed to be living a
in the area that shouldnt be (mold, aphids, mites etc) i had it spread from old leaves to leaves in a matter of a week or two so watch out it will get bigger turning to patches and eventually drying out your leaves, it looks similar to a lot of defiency problems i was convinced it was phosphurus but after a fresh bucket with corrections it did not stop at all out of fear of a mold or disease of some sort i threw that plant in the backyard at the time i had three plants in my tent and it did not spread to the other two at all nor has it started with my other two which tells it is not environmental stress as im growing the same strain in all three you would see stress in all three, seriously no answers im also interested in finding out what this could be.

I am not saying it's leaf septoria but you might want to read about it. If it is septoria or another fungus treatment is effective at this stage of growth. Are you checking pH of your water?

 

[ghettobudz1420]

No, I don't have a water pH tester
Ya it's pretty bad now, spread up two leaf notes

Once again this is not septoria!!!!This looks like an early calcium problem.

No shit everything is leaf septoria lately isnt it, its ridiculous.

op= you have a young plant it has growing pains its not really established yet. Look at your soil ffof how many microbes do you think are in that soil? Get some microbes in there, feed it nutes and you will be fine.

 

[ghettobudz1420]

Here's what the lower leaves look like (only snipped the single finger leaves) I started a low dosage of fox farm grow nutes last night. I do have some left over jungle juice but it's starting to crystallize at the caps doubt it's usable. Growth seems really stunted.... y

How often do you water? It looks like it's been overwatered or the roots have been waterlogged for a long time.

 

[ghettobudz1420]

I water every three days or when soil is dried up, I have a soil meter that tells me when it's completely dry

heres what i did and my plant no longer has this problem.
firstly, i seperated the infected plant from the rest to ensure it doesnt spread, i then trimmed all infected leaves off my plant (within reason i left a couple of fan leaves until more fan leaves developed you dont want to deprive your plant or leave it without a way to harness the energy it needs.
i then (even though my roots looked healthy) gave my roots a 20 minute bath in pure 3% peroxide which isnt powerful at all you shouldnt have to worry about damaging your roots at all. When i finished bathing my roots i took my spray bottle and gave them an additional spray down of just distilled water and gave them a quick pruning of any roots that were really bad and gave them a fresh bucket (dwc grow) with fresh nutes at about half the ppm of my previous feed to ensure it wasnt a nutreint related issue.
I also used a light "diy" spray of distilled water mixed with a pinch of baking soda as from what ive read baking soda paired with some other household ingredients can make a great insecticide as well as prevent fungi. i let my plant sit by itself for about a week keeping a close eye on the condition. i took all the steps due to being unsure of what was actually going on and it seemed to work for me, unfortunately i cant tell you what exactly made my plant healthy and happy again as i took all the steps i could due to being uncertain of the issue itself. when in doubt start at the beginning and work your way through you'll catch it one way or another. i didnt do much in the likes of root work because my roots werent showing any warning signs other than a slower growth but once i rid the spots from my plant they exploded in new growth. hope you can figure it out and get back to some happy healthy growth in no time.

I believe I solved the issue, I guess she was just hungry for nutes, maybe a waited a little long to start but it seemed to seize spreading, so I transplanted into her permanent pot, a little worried though she's been quite droopy for the past 3 days, normally after a transplant they'd look fine after a couple days, but who's knows this plant just isn't growing like the last

 

[ghettobudz1420]

A buddy of mine found a seed out of a pretty dank oz so I planted that, and out seems to love the environment and treatment I give because it's growing like crazy 1 day after germ it sprouted next 2 days another set of leaves

Full disclosure, this is my first grow. Keep in mind my progress has been very slow for a number of reasons so obviously don't compare the weeks.

But I ran into this problem too. I was overwatering, and I think it was suffocating the roots and causing atrophy of some leaves. Shown in the pics from week 8, leaves were really sagging and I had brown spots on a couple of the leaves. It was in a square pot, so I used a ruler to create space between the walls and the soil, and got a few paper towels down as far as I could to wick out the water. Worked like a charm. Week 9 pic was taken 4 days later.

The last pic I took yesterday, still going strong.

Damn dude she looks good. I think I got it solved man, when I transplanted the roots looked great, just impatient and doing too much I guess. Here's what it looks like now 3 weeks 2 days from today

Awesome, glad it's sorted. I was more making my comment to point out that it could be non-microbial. I'm wayyyy too new to be telling other growers what their problems could be lol

Btw what is that meter you have in your soil? I take it that's the one that measures your moisture for you, but it looks like it does more than that including measure pH of the soil? What sort of setup do you have and how much did the parts cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[ghettobudz1420]

You're correct, it measures the soils moisture/dryness, soils pH, and the amount of light being received...... I'm currently growing in a 3x3x6 grow tent with x2 600w LEDs and the necessary fans for air flow and circulation, tent stays in between 75 -83 degrees I know it's a little hot but only way I can keep the humidity just right and I just started using foxfarm grow nutes plan on using the rest of their line of nutes later and I just FIMed it, on accident, the new growth was so bunched up it was pretty stress full
