I don't want to loose my first crop, plus its all I have the money for. I think I have been watering a little too much and giving minor nutes every 4 days, all organic just Buddha Grow. My temps are 64-73 degrees, humidity 26%. they are more than 30" from the light. its on 24hrs right now. I wanted to take a whole bunch of clones on my big plant. please help diagnose any positive input is much appreciated. THE TOP SET OF PICS IS ONE PLANT AND THE BOTTOM SET IS ANOTHER PLANT

Just a question, how does you being a veteran at all relate to your problem?

P.S: One photo looks like a zinc deficiency, the other a potassium def.

the relation of me being a veteran and needing some advice on my first grow, is in itself just that. I was hoping to have other veterans respond as well as the experienced everyday grower. nothing more nothing less.

my Well water is at 7.5, but after I add the roots organics Buddha grow it drops to 6.8. that's all im using right now, then for flowering I got the Buddha bloom. I also bought a box of ph bat guano for bloom. I think its 0-7-0. thanks thump

okay stop ph your water to 5.8 that what your doing wrong you need a probe that tells you the ph and ppm.. you need to flush with straight water till it does just that 5.8 after that done you'll let it dry out enough and you check with ppm the size tells me about 800 ppm's of veg formula... but the ph is to high cant be lower than 5.5 higher 6.5 but i like to be at 5.8

remember some parts of the u.s. have tap that is high with all kinds of crap mostly cloramin that white shit that floats its clorine x amonia you cant evaporate it out of buble it out it will kill you rooting hormone.. or zymes or benificials so you need purifired water with a cloromine filter that will filter that shit out pluss all the sediments i mean you can use tap dont get me wrong but filterd water is better..

flush untill the bottom of the run off is 5.8 and you will notice your new growth green and on point remember dont look at the old leafs look at the new nodes that are coming out they will tell you how she is doing if you see purple stems use a lil bit of cal mag that mean calcium and magnisuim with your regular nutrients.. water again nutrients at next feeding let it dry out or your roots will suficate nutrients one day wait till it dries out then pure water next feeding just go back and forth remember you have to add water before you feed nutrients it brake off all the salts that the plant left behind that shit can build up so add water wait 20 then nutrient on a feeding day with nutrients, let it dry for few days when its ready and add plain water ph/ed and like i sead one yes one no one yes one no.. make shure their is plenty of run off that ashures your salts old shit is coming out from previos feeding.

thanks man, I will get my meter back out tomorrow and ph that down to 5.8 after checking what the run off is. then I will flush it like you suggested. I need to buy some PH down, and that cal mag you talked about?

It does look like a Nitrogen deficiency that's antagonizing Magnesium. Then I m also spotting signs of a Potassium deficiency. Your leaves look nice and supple aside from the necrosis, they have a nice shine. Your RH is a little low, I wouldn't go lower than 45%. And lastly, the watering issue. Yes you have been watering too much, and that great that you know that. It gives you a picture of what to look for in the future. However, I wouldn't flush at all. Why????? The plant is experiencing the problems due to overwatering. It can't breath and eat. Let the soil dry out and vigor and metabolic processes will return. Roots Organic is good soil and has plenty of nutrition for a plant that size.

Thanks for your service. Definitely over-watered in photos. You mentioned you are using well water but did not describe it. Do you know your water ppm? If not, try to find your well report or go get a TDS to measure it. You may have water unsuitable for growing so you need to know this. Your soil is very good and will not need any nutrients during first month to 6 weeks of use.

Red Circle: These aren't your roots are they?
Red Rectangle: This side of your plant, at least form this angle, looks heat stressed.
Blue Circles: Looks like a potash deficiency.
2nd Pic: What's going on here with this leaf in the background? Could we get a pic?
5th photo first row: Over watering.

You can solve a lot of your problems right now by going out and buying a bag of FFOF or HappyFrog and transplanting, grab some superthrive while you're out. You're going to have to wait until your pots dry out a little though. By the way, how cold are your concrete floors? I notice that you are wearing a long sleeve shirt as well are you sure of the temps in the grow area? :peace:
