Hi ST,
I noticed that your growing a seed mix with different strains in it. I like those...a good deal usually, but you are growing a batch of plants that could have very different nutritional requirements.

I severely nute burned a plant awhile back. It was a batch of plants all the same strain but not a very stable line so I had varied phenos. The sat pheno got really torched and it looked like yours does right away and then over the next couple of days, the more classic plant tip necrosis occurred. I flushed it and was more careful with that one plant (weaker nutes) and it survived.
Good luck,
ET

do you have one of those old tents that offgassed?

I see you have a P def though, unless that's a chimera BB cross or a DJ strain..

does the plant have water in the soil, as that could only make worse heat stress as the plant looks droopy, also could be P but most time it gets the lower leafs first

The tent is fine its a htg model i have not heard of any problems with their tents.

The plant has always had the red/purple stems its from legends. She looks worse now than 1/2 hour ago.

I have some looking and doing the same thing.
The only change I've had lately-is I added 1/2 cup worm castings NPK of 1-0-0
I guess I burned them?????been flushing with 6.0 water only
but they get worse by the hour---I'm going out there now to remove the worm castings
anybody use castings????
thanks for any help

look at the last pic, see the other plant on the left? check the leaf, it looks like heat stress is getting that one???

position of your messed up plant?

that light in the pic the floro or the MH running vertical? should get a reflector

not sure, you look like you know what your doing, your plants look good, not over fed or under fed....

ST,
I seriously doubt that worm castings could do that to a plant...and especially just one. Worm castings were the mainstay of my mix when I did organic. I had my own little worm operation and applies fresh worm castings all the time (as top dressing)...never had any issues.

I'm curious. There was a post about your run-off water on that plant being ph 8, but now that post has been deleted. Or was that my imagination? If that was correct, that means that your mix in that pot is very high in ph for that situation to occur. Did you mix the soil in a large container? Or did you do each bucket separately? Seems that something is wrong with your soil mix in that pot...

His grow looks outstanding...except that one plant. I can't believe he'd make a mistake like that with just that one plant...

We need to know what...if anything...is different about that one plant.

It seems that it was growing fine and them...Bam!

So, OP, what could be different about that one plant?

Where is it's position in the grow?

COULD you have fed it differently than the rest?

OK i mixed the soil for each pot seperatly but the same...8 scoops ffof 2 scoops happy frog and 2 scoops perlite.

When i flushed the plant yesterday i thought the ph was reading 8 but it was just my pen being touchy it was coming out 6.5-6.6

That post about the worm castings was not me.

The plants are always being rotated they are never in one spot for long.

I mix the water in a big cooler so all plants receive the same thing.

I use earth juice PH up/down if that matters. When i water i shoot for 10-15% runoff.

This plant is dead, and thats unfortunate. Since i started the seeds this particular plant was always way ahead...

StRa----
I read what you said and a BIG gong went off in my head!!!

I went out and tilted the 5 gallon pots and sure enough,drip,drip,drip

I put them all on a slant outside in the sun, and whammo-most are on their way back--soil drying out,and fan leaves reaching for the sun.

I can't thank everyone on this thread enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I learned a little something from all

thanks again to all posters and fellow farmers---and thanks IC

ST,
Sorry you lost a plant. It's frustrating. And sorry about the misunderstand on the worm castings. After Turtle Farmer jacked your thread...I guess I got a little confused. Hope the rest of them do well.

Just a quick update
All the ladies are doing great with no signs of any problems...they filled up the space left by the dead plant in no time.
