it's very hard to tell root health in soil. Even if they look white at the bottom holes, they're can still be problems. What happens is the bugs feast on the root tissue and the organics in the soil causing pH fluctuations, nutrient lockout, and stress leading to the plant deficiencies even if you don't think that can be the case. Try Azamax at full strength and sprinkle the top of the soil with Diatomaceous Earth. A good flush before you do any of this will drown the little fuckers and flush out any acidity/alkaline issues along with salt build up around the roots.

thanks for the advice ill give that a shot i figured sense i could see so much of the root mass on the bottem ( and its all bleach white) then the roots would be fine but ill def give this a shot

and i dont think its phos def because i use DR earth bud and bloom wich is 4-10-7 but its a top dressing so maybe the plants just arent getting it quick enough? not sure my tap water comes out at 7 ph so i just water with that

Only do all of this if they are coming out of the soil. I don't want you to waste your money. Top dressings are fine if they can leach into the soil well so hopefully you are pouring straight water into the soil and adding the nutes once a week, twice at most.

im feeding 1-2 times a week with a cup of the top dressing dr earth 1 tbs of molasses and last time i put 2 tsp of calmag in because i thought this was a calcium def

and im on a SUPER low budget how much does that stuff cost?

I hate to say it man but u may of cooked her w nutes...its hard to say w out knowing every detail of the grow including the contents of the soil...but...those are fried crispy leaves n ive read thru n u say here n there I added this n I added that...just add water is my advice..and give three days between each watering...and I saw where u added somthing and expected results the next day...it dsnt always work that way usually 3-4 days for a noticeable diff frm adding nutes n stff...for me anyway...I add nothing...I repeat...nothing but water til she shows hunger (lightening leaves) then I small dose her...she darkens up bout 3days later...I only feed abt 4-5times thruout the plants life. ...less is bttr w these things...just add water tk her for at least a week n see how she does...then go frm there...n pray she just makes it to harvest...ive been there (kinda..not this bad) n I know its no fun but roll w it n LEARN frm it..thats what matters...u can grow more plants just fuck its what I say...ive been known to toss one just cause I didnt like how she was lookin n was a pain to deal w n look at daily....haha

Best thing to do imo when u dont knw whats wrong is to just add water...throwing stff in guessing at the prob will usually bite ya in the ass.

appreciate the advice vega, i think its more or less the fact that the person who started this plant started it in miracle grow slow release moisture control soil >.> and on the note of adding something and expecting next day results i guess i miswrote what i ment because i know it wont be isntant like that i was watching new growth and un afflicted growth to see if the solution made the problem recede a bit on the watering note this stupid soil sucks so much i can go sometimes a week without watering and still get run off from a gallon of water

my other 2 plants that arent in the same soil are doing MUCH better mind you there only vegging but still

again really appreciate you stopping by vega id give you more rep if i could lol

and ive only watered once with calmag and molasses sense this threads been started i was just stating what i use

Ok I gotcha....yeah its hard to say and im no expert at nutes by any means...I try n mix a decent soil n stay away frm em to be honest they kinda scare me...haha....I try n keep everything simple....I do use molasses tho like u...abt three times during flower spread out...1teaspoon gallon....I hope she pulls thru shes a potential beast cool double serated leaves n quite big too

yea im going to be going with a super soil mix the next time i start from seed. if it was me who started this thats what i would of done im like you the less i have to add nutes the better lol and i hope she does too i have two others growing same strain ill get a pic up for you

Id quit adding anything to it at this point and use strictly water. The miracle grow has nutes, you've added more on top of that as well. You're already in flower 3+ weeks so I'd just leave it alone from here out.

Sup rik... I go with gut. 1? Have your stems always been that purple? Did you add cal mag because you were deficient. Cal mag and mollasas can cause other nutes to lock. I'm assuming your close to harvest if adding mollasas. Yea... Man I would slowly flush with ph 6.5 from the bottom up sloooooowly. Just think what had changed. Do you have an ec, ph and ppm gizmo?

I thought I was the only response. My screen layout was lucked up. Sorry if someone answered. I hate when people do that.

Hey guys thanks for all the responses i plan to just add nothing but water from here on out and no the stems werent always that purple thats why i figured to add cal mag thought it was a combination of calcium/mag def and what do you mean from the bottom up? and as for the EC i have no idea what that is i have a water ph i test my run off wich is ussaly around 6.5 (according to color) and no ppm pen saddly

all good charles i prefer more then 1 input anyways i take everything said on here with a grain of salt (except vegas advice lol his crops beautiful!)

ha this thread has almost more replies then my actual grow journal! funny stuff
