Plant Moisture Stress - Symptoms and Solutions

but the strain is northern lights which is an indica dominant? and therefore the leaves seem oddly skinny?
She looks very happy, even with her skinny leaves. moisture stress is known for doing lots of strange things to leaves, but causing them to be thin is not on the list. what ever you are doing, keep it up for another 5 weeks :P

This is a NL auto which I just repotted. It showed these signs before the repotting, after I transferred it indoors under lights after being outdoors as a seedling. I thought the problem might be three fold, high PH, too much light, crappy soil. Have tried to solve all three problems. Did I come tot he right conclusion?

Hey uncle ben shave a question for you if you don't mind. All of my plants have the tips of the leaves pointing towards the ground, it is the worst in my 3 white berry's that are ten days into flower, there last feeding consisted of AN bloom a and b (10ml of ea) bud ignightor(6ml) bud candy (6 ish ml) and rhino sskin(6ml)
also I have a bubblegum ice that's four ish weeks into flower with very minimal tips drooping, but a few tips are twisted. My plants that are over two weeks into flower are receiving AN Bloom.A/b 10ml bud candy 6 ish ml rhino skin 6ml big bud 10ml (I just received nirvana the organic version of it and im switching over to that as we speak) and im also starting to use sensyzym more religiously. Do you think my problem has to do with to much N? Or could b
e watering a little bit to frequently. Also I am burning suffer about once every two or three days and some of the plants have weird leaf growth but I think that its from the suffer not sure tho. Thanks in advance. If you need pictures let me know

Sorry, don't know a thing about those foods but they look fine to me. Need the NPK values, amounts, etc.

Uncle ben, great thread very informative.
Just wondering i have a problem with leaf blistering,new growth pale and stunted some plants dont recover. Raised lights ,checked ph nothong worked but i noticed at the time this was happening the liquid in the veg nutes bottle had crytaliized/hardened in the bottle (should be all liquid) and sounded like solid salts shaking around in there(i put lid on loose). Could this have affected the npk and trace element distribution and maybe burned the plant?

Could have been caused by a dozen things. Why did you raise the light?

To try and eliminate light bleaching as a possibility. The reason i think its the hydro veg nutes is that when i put them in the flower room 1000hps and flowering nutes they improve 100% but the affected leaves stay damaged. They also responded well( some leaves got their colour back) when weak foliar spray with MG 20-4-12.

Bleaching is a distinct possibility, reason why I asked. I already speculated what was wrong. Read what I have to say about light, the first page.

Thanks.

Stop using low N bloom foods and buying into the snake oil vendor and forum hype.

I think this is my first post after a year of reading, a slight attempt i discarded and my current attempt which is about to be harvested and some bought seeds doing just fine. I would like to say one bit of advice to anyone having issues with watering wilting, whatever... If you follow your plants... and they were doing fine... then mess up... there is ONE solution... the solution is to STOP. STOp STOP... if they were fine and now arent then whatever you STARTED to do harmed them and the solution is to STOP doing it... I put seeds in dirt and water and forget until time to water, experimented with MG (plant still alive) bought some chemical mix from i think its techniflora, still alive... forgot about the plant until it dried and cracked and without reading just bottom fed it as a common sense thing.... plant still fine, pilfered some early buds without (gasp) sterilizing shit, just busted off some buds a couple weeks ago and dried them shitty like to smoke, still growing, oh yeah.. my cat eats leaves when pull it out... still growing... so with all the questions and answers and what not I have one single question I havent figured out yet. HOW EXACTLY DO YOU KILL A POT PLANT? Aside from taking it out of the pot, chopping it up and burying it in my compost heap I havent been able to figure out just how to kill a pot plant. Any help?
thats your green thumb at work :clap: i did that for years until i went fully organic , now i know what it takes to kill one. :cry:

drown the roots (water everyday) will kill it in about two weeks.. topps.
go get the advanced nutrients off your shelf , reach for the most expensive bottle and dump it on the plant. (2 kills with one stone)
when im on my killin sprees , i folier feed with bleach.

if you really want them dead today then just bounce around this forum and post "i have probs" an use every bit of the advice thrown your way.





soil ..... good mornin all ! :joint:

Thanks uncle ben , It seems like the light. The previous strain(iranian auto) had the same 400w about 12" away no worries, this new indica cant even handle the 400w mh 24", its at 30" now and the leaves seem ok. Summer is here now so could the extra couple of degrees cels contributed to the burn/bleaching damage?
Also like i said when put into the flower room under the 1000w they are fine at about 30" away, no damage at all thats why this had me stuffed.

i do water my plants with care but you can't see dry spots in the soil unless you pull the plant and look. i think my cupping/curling is from dry spots. dried peat moss actually repels water. so ima water from the top, bottom and the friggin sides from now on to make sure i wet the whole medium, every time.
i'm glad i read this just to reaffirm my diagnosis.
