i need marijuana doctor !!! PLEASE HELPP.. problems with my girls

hi, you might think im a newbie and you guessed it. I AM A NEWBIE.

anyway i have 6 plants. 5 is big budha cheese ( BBC ) and one power kush ALL from seeds and now they are 3 n half week old.

the cheese is alot more healthier than the power kush. the leaves of the powerkush has rolled upwards at the tips and edges. i have heard it is due to magnesium deficiencies. any help would be great.

they are under 96W florecent lights at 5 inches on top. i am using advanced hydropinic nutrients ( grow, bloom, micro ). i let the plant fairly dry out before watering. they are in rockwool and potted in clay pebbles. ph water of 5.6 to 5.9

and also why is my cheese plants one day the stems are up towards the light and followin day they are back down. why is this. and also why is my leaves curling upwards and brown starting to get brown edges

please help i dont want to lose these feminized plants

Pictures please!

sounds like nute burn or u r letting plants get to dry or the light is to close that would be my guess hard to say without pics.

i will be uploading pic soon as i go back to my brothers house where i live. right now i am not equipped sorry lol. anyway the lights are 5 inches away. is that ok. also i am using half strength nutes. should i just feed plain ph adjusted water untill they are at least a month and half or something ( matured ) ? i am worried because i have heard and seen plants doo so great and all of a sudden they end up with alot of problems. i just want to be on track. i know its hard to tell without pics or anything. but im trying to get as much info and possibilities as i can.

but then joseph every help is appreciated. i am a newbie what can i say lol

I would agree it sounds like nute burn. 5 inches for cfls isnt too much i keep mine around 2-3in. I would hold off on nutes and try just water (thats been left out to allow chlorine to evaporate). Cut back the nutes and see if it makes a difference.

btw i am new to this site and i am loving the response already. quick response. no times wasted . thats how we roll haha.

HELP.

also some of my stems are turning purple and some arent. why is this.

thanks blazed monkey. i am definitely going to started feeding it with ph water. no nutes and i will keep you updated as soon as i see difference.

by the way this might help.

some of my leaves are somewhat retarded. they are coming out sideways and looking different. hmm i am worried as anyone would be due to losing their daughter

Yah fresh ph water, what are temps like inside whatever your growing in? If you can get a descent air flow via cheap fan that could help and also will strengthen stems.
As to why they are purple ive heard different arguments from temperature, nutrient levels, genetics. Im guessing its a role of all 3. I wouldnt worry about the purple unless its with something bad like dying leaves or drooping stems.

NP ive had plants go bad and been freaking out so i know how you feel

i have a fan blowing. iv fed it with ph watered at 5.9 and yes the stems are back up and looking strong. but the curlyness on the kush i would have to give it more time to react.

the ph water did help. but when should i start using nutes. there are on their 7th node at age of 3 weeks n half. they are short but very bushy. im suprised they are soo bushy and green. but the kush is worrying me.

i have scrog and aeroponic systrem 36 site with an air stone at the bottom of the resv. i am plannin to take cuttings to grow multiple. i know this is irrelevant but when should i take cuttings of the plant?

thanks for your time

Ive heard 3-4 weeks is when you can start nutes. I always start off very weak and work up from there. So i would say any plants that are looking healthy/very slight problems go ahead and start with 1/5 or 1/4 of what you hope to build up to. Any plants that look like they have nute burn hold off and just give pure water for another couple of days/a week.

If you can get some pictures up it can help alot because i dont think warped leaves is nute burn.

here is some pictures of my plants.

one with wrapped leaves is power kush.
the rest are BBC.

hope this is a help.

temp 75 F
humidity 40-60 %
light 5 inches

how is my plants doing and why is my kush being a pain.

i love them with all my heart though dont get me wrong lol

i also bought some epsom salt and i am going to be adding it to my water. a teaspoon / gallon. is it a good idea or shall i just kick back and see what happens. i hear unsulphured epsom salt had magnesium and it will help my plant. what do you think?
thanks

if it is a magnesium issue, the bigger problem might be pH being bad, making it impossible for your girls to eat their magnesium. I would check the pH, get a meter, even a cheap one, if you can. Assuming the pH is somewhere >7, I would go to the grocery store and get some white vinegar. Add a few drops of vinegar per gallon of water and give it to your plants. I would also foilar feed the plants to give them a direct injection of Mg.

Thats what youre worried about! let me say those ladies are looking mighty fine
Its probably a minor PH issue but i think your plants will grow through it even if you dont fix it.
I would go ahead and start them all on low nutes

But i would guess that ^making the magic is right. But real magnesium deficiency shows when the curled edges turn yellow so yours still looks healthy.

thanks for your help. i will see what happens. im just going to feed them 1/4 for the next two weeks and maybe raise it a lil higher. i will also keep an eye on ph levels. so i hope all is well.

thanks

Ill be watching madbushy, keep us updated with lots of pics :]
Looks like its going to be a very good grow.

yeah i will most certainly keep you updated. ive taken care of these ladies more than myself

i am planning to let them grow for another 2 further weeks and start taking cutting and keep 2 plants as mothers n flower the rest.

i want the plants to be short but FAT. as i am planning on growing 56 ladies. right now it is a start and a good start to these mothers is a good start of a grow production lol.

i will be post pics in few days showing how well theyve done.

THANK YOUU. i also started foilar feeding and my plants look somewhat healthier and no longer having the dry looking texture.

all in all is lookin FINE .

Good to hear! Thats going to be one big grow
What all lighting are you using for all 56 plants? Not just 1 100w Flouro surely

And as far as short and fat are you going to be using a SCROG method or LST?

oh no no no lol.
i have got 2 600 watt cooltubes and 1 400 watt hps in a 2.4m x 2mx 2m tent and 8 inch exhaust fan and also 8 inch carbon filter and 6 inch intake fan.
my power kush isnt got any better but hasnt got worse either and i basically gave up on it but its still growing. it was a free seed i got when i bought the BBC. but anyway i have got one beautifull bbc mother plant which im in love with. soon im addin a 400 watt metal halide for the mother to boost things up. would you think that is a good idea as long as i got the florecent light there with it too?

and for your question i am using a scrog system and aeroponic cloner. i am going to be vegging my clones for two weeks and then going to be flowering them as i am wanting realy small plants but juicy buds as it could get crowded because my scrog system is wilma and its going to be to close together.

i will update with pictures soon again
