hi all

actually i have a problem and cant solve it !!!!

my lower leaves turned yellow , and yellowing is going up , its killing node by node ...

some told me that i have Nutrients deficiency so i added Nut but problem still exist..

and i cant find ph tester so far due to my stuped country ,,,, but im watering the plants well , not beeing over nor under watering ... and my soil alway moist ,, and i added some water bowls in the box inorder to increase the ph level ,

but today i found the roots are going out of the pot from the below draining halls as u see in the photo .

HERE IS A PIC OF MY POT SIZE

Hello to you in Jordan!

No, your problem is not the pot size. To me it looks like a nitrogen def. or your pH is off and the plant can't use the nutrients in the soil.

Have you only been feeding it tap water until giving it nutrients like your friend told you to?

What did you give it?

Are you on well water or does your water get treated by the city? Do you have access to lemon juice bottled in concentrate?

Putting bowls of water in the room might increase the humidity, but it will not change the pH. Chances are your pH is higher than you would like it and if you can locate some pH down or some lemon juice in concentrate, you can lower it with those. Try and locate some pH testing stuff at a pool or hardware store in that area.

And please be careful! The laws in Jordan are not very kind when it comes to cannabis if I remember properly...I would tell no one if I were you!

Those are pretty big pots...might want to make sure he has enough space to justify a transplant...no offense, just a thought.

The only reason I don't say N def for sure is because he hasn't been ph'ing anything, so if that's all out of order, it may be the cause of the lockout. :joint:

joeweedo · Sep 28, 2011

thanks for your reply man .

i've never gave it a tap water , only "Mineral water" ,, im using 24/0 light cycle , so i think the ph is off , because when i gave it nut i haven't seen any changes in the plants maybe it could'nt suck it as u said .. i dont think the ph is up , becus i notice my leaves are always kind of dry and rough.. im uing peatmoss 60% - pearlite 30% and 10% pure building sand,
ok what if my ph is off what should i do ?? i cant add wood ashes , because my soil is allready mixed .. what u think ??

ya right its very dangor here . but i can sucrefice for this kind of plants lol ,, dont worry no one can see my grow box even my family

..

Never been to Jordan before, just know a bit about the world, I guess you could say.

I don't have much experience with peat/perlite mixes. Did you add any dolomite lime to the soil?

If I were you, I would change your light cycle to 18/6 or at most 20/4. Plants are like humans in the sense that they need a bit of a rest, too.

What kind of fertilizer options do you have available? It depends on if your ph is too low or too high....it might not even be the pH. It may be that the plant needs nitrogen.

So give me some answers to what I asked and I will try and help more.

It will take 7-14 days even to get a result in soil. How often do you water and how much do you water each time? When did you water last? When did you give it the full strength? With the last watering?

Are you getting any run-off watering at that amount?

You want to add nutrients every third watering or second at the most. So water, water, water+nutrients, or water, water+nutrients, and so on.

joeweedo · Sep 28, 2011

no i dont get any run-off water !! i must to ??

and i will set my light cycle to 18/4 from tody ?? but what i want to know , are my pots size enough for the entire stage if i want it to reach 35" tall >??

You need a 3 gal. pot. Your pot looks too small and its root bound. Re-pot and put a thin layer of news paper at the bottom with perlite over the newspaper about 1in. Then fill with whatever medium you use and put your plant inside closer to the top like it was before in the other pot. And start flowering at a foot and a half.

I don't know if it's been stated, but that plant has been ready for a transplant since the first picture in the thread.
Give it a 2g pot if you can, it should fit in there for quite some time.

Enjoy! :leaf:
