hello, i seem to have a problem. my leaves of my plants are turning like yellow with brown spots, also they are getting pretty crispy. there is no issue with leave tips curling down. but the entire fingers of the leaves are starting to twist. at 1st it started on the older leaves. and i thought it was MG def. but i added a little more of my Micro nute stuff and the problem hasnt stopped. i flushed my medium 2 days ago, ph is about 6.5-7. i have cleaned my grow room with disinfectant to prevent mold (i do this once a week) and i could not see any pests when i vigoursly check each indiviual leaf. i am currently watering every day because it seems like this soil has great dranage, everytime i go and check if they need water the soil is relitivly dry. but not over dry. (there is also no direct air being blown at the soil)


soil i picked up at the grow shop no time released ferts.

nutes are 3 part nute system. theres - grow, bloom and micro. im using them to the correct dosage. so idk wht is going on. is this nute burn?

also this nute system is made for hydro applications. i usually run about 10-15 plants with that system but i wanted to try soil. at 1st the soil one surpassed my hydro babies but now its turning for the worse


ty for reading i dont have a camera cuz i have a son that likes to play with it at the park. and he lost it.

With no pics, i'll take a shot in the dark and say it sounds like N deficiency or lack of light. Is it happening all over the plant, or just in spots?
What nutes are you using,lights, ventilation, temps and humidity would also be helpful. Let me know what's up, i'll try to help ya' man!

Take your grow medium down to around 5.5 i flush my plants once a week to get shut of any excess salt build up.If this is just happening to the older leaves don't worry so much lower down your medium and things should start to improve i use this medium on all my strains and since i did it made the world of differance.Just had to sell all my growing gear because of nosey fucking neigbours.I was tipped of that someone had reportrd me moveing soon so i will be up and running again just means i have to buy what ever is going around i'm a medical user so sometimes it sorts me other times it is shyt i don't know how some people get away with selling what is dank.Mind you i've just met a guy who sells me remember the old stle black red and gold seal lovely it is realy sticky icky this stuff.

DO NOT do this if you are in soil. but def a good flush at 6.5ph should solve any problems. It sounds like N deficiency to me. I'm assuming lower leaves are the ones yellow with brown spots and top grow prob looks ok? if its a little twisted or really for any problems, after flush if u r using nutes only use 1/2 strength every other watering. how r u testing your ph? if electric, get some strips to make sure it is not broke. you could have locked up b/c ph issues. the flush will take care of this just make sure your ph is good and then start on 1/2 nutes every other. I have 3 diff strains and they all act differently to nutes, one can't get enough, another is so sensitive ive stopped giving her any at all, and the 3rd is right in the middle. gl 2 u

temps are 20-25C, humidity is around 45%, space is about 4ft sq. ventilation is 300cfm case fan. nutes are made for hydros apps but i was told by people on this site that was fine. they are organic, and come in a 3 part system. grow, micro and bloom. lights are 3 2ft 40w flouro tubes. have MH lamp but its currently being used by my budding hydro plants

It has been my experience that if you use hydro nutes or additives in soil, you just add it to the water you water with.
