HEy. PICS INSIDE. SICK and NEED SOME CONFIMATION. Done lots of reading but confused

hey

A mate has a pc case, about 2 weeks into flower and its all gone to shit lol. first attempt, but even after reading its too confusing.

2 by 43w 2700k cfl, exhausted hood. temps of aprox 23degC. soil is home mix of a third compost, equalish parts potting mix, peat and perlite. watering with distilled water, aprox 6.5 to 7 ph (only have water tester type), but soil tester says 7 (tho that one is fucked i reckon, reading hasnt changed from experiments in another pot with watering with ph 8 water to 6.5, cheap piece of shit).

repotted about a week before this happened. red/brown spots appeared on oldest lower fan leaves first, then turn yellow and die.some red/fan leaf stems. spots made it up to fan leaves of bud sites, not on new growth. came from nowhere. everything was going too well lol.

gave very light dose of all round flower nute yesterday, but seems to have gotten worse overnight. spots r spreading to more and more leaves, some yellowing and drying out.

now there isnt much space in there, but hood keeps top glass pretty cool. have noticed weird moisture on random leaves a couple of times (not after watering).

cant think what else to say. repotting has worked a dream the other times.

after alot of reading im guessing ph problem causing either magnesium, manganese or potassium problems. or could it be a mould, or weird disease from random potting mix i added. cant be sure, spots dont seem to start on outer leaf edges, more inbetween leaf viens. but the nutes havent helped at all so guessing ph is all messed up. its a shame cause flowers were coming along nicely.

any advice for my mate is appreciated.

oh yea its a kaya gold seed. sativa. prob left it too long in veg bout 5 week, but hood keeps temps good and lets it get close as to cfls. my last repot was to this long rather than deep pot. was hoping roots would grow across. had to loosen roots to make it fit in new pot. im a newb lol theres too many things i could have done wrong, learning as i go

shit is it calcium ? if so does anyone think adding lime would help and if so how much per gallon?

It is a calcium/mg deficiency. I use dolomite lime already in my soil medium. What would be easier for you is either epsom salts or a calmag solution.

ok sweet thanks man. didnt add it at the start, and im guessing adding it know would take take long for it to be dissolved in soil. another stupid question, epson isnt table salt right?lol.

i read elsewhere about foliage spray with lime, is that a bad idea?

thanks for reply bro, hope i can return the favour one day, but soundds like u know whats going on

sorry lol ive learnt what epson salts are

You are correct but foliar feeding is touchy especially if you dont do it always. Most will fry their foliage. Yes you are correct and its not a stupid question. I would start with epsom salts at a rate of 1 tbs per gallon of water and be patient because in soil mediums correcting deficiencies takes time. Folair feeding is the swiftest way to corect deficiencies if soil is your medium however the downside is it can be easily overdone. Best of luck man and hope you can correct your problem.

Also some of your leaves are in advanced stages of cal mag deficiency if your leaf is more than 50% compromised and I see you have a couple you can take them off or eventually it will die on its own. Those leaves are mentioned will prolly not reverse back to its healthy self. To put your mind at ease a good majority of your foliage is quite healthy.

cali is right on, you would be better using some sort of cal/mag as it has both calcium and magnesium and dont expect it to solve your problem in a couple of days it will take a while and next time round before you plant add some lime to your soil and forget about cal/mag and ph

cheers. mental pacification can make all the difference, for all sorts of shit hehe. i really appreciate it mate, ill get my hands on some epson fast, loose those leaves and see what happens i guess. just strange, it had gone so well for ages, and i added trace elements to the last soil change. but they might take awhile to be released aswell

anyhow peace out man!! take it easy

cool cheers man ill check for cal mag to. so would dolimite lime do the job as a foliage spray? just read its magnesium and calcium, while epsons no magnesium.

but yea foliage spray the dolomite? as in mix like i would the epson salt half teaspoon per gallon to be safe?

thats what i ment dolomite lime to your soil before you start your grow, cal/mag goes into your water

ok cool im with u now. yep ill sort that tomoz

good luck with your grow hope you sort it

haha prob still need a bit of that luck, but all good either way it will work eventually see ya

repotted about a week before this happened

ok bro disregard every answer so far they are all wrong . You have fucked up the transplant in some way and it hasn't recovered. When you have tips this yellow its a root system stress issue, may or may not recover, could take weeks. Next time have the plant root bound before re potting , in the mean time no watering ,feeding until those tips green up a bit. No lime Epson salts etc.

I couldn't disagree with buds more. not to mention he told you to disregard everyone elses sound advice and then give no plan of recourse...It is definitely a cal mag deficiency. Go buy a cal msg supplement and start with a very light dosage. When the veins of the leaves yellow on the inside of the leaf it is a deficiency. When the tips/edges burn it is a over feeding issue. They probably need a fully rounded diet, as I'm not sure what you're feeding, this may play a role in the plants deficiency as well.

ye im with buds on this, look at the placement of the damage as well, i think there is a root problem, i dont like the look of how shallow you're pot is. also were on the plant did you first notice the first lot of damage, was it new growth at the top, i,e new shoots, was it just at the top few fans leafs, but not the new shoots more like an in-mobile nute disorder was it the bottom or lower bottom half

also adding Epson salts to this will aggravate the problem aswell

or any cal/mag product at this time

He said it started on the older growth. Did you read the post before making a conclusion that there is a root disease?? This site frustrates me. Why would you want s plant to be rootbound before transplanting?! So that it takes even longer to adjust to its new home???
