Nirvana Aurora Indica In TROUBLE NEED HELP!!!

[scaryharry]

This is my Aurora Indica. It was grown 12/12 from seed probably been about 4 weeks since it started flowering. It is grown in Sunshines # 1 mix. I'm guessing some sort of lockout, phosphorous? Leaves are now starting to fall off after yellowing. Stemps and leaves turning purple red as well. I hand water with tap water. we have a water softener as well. I fed with Neptunes 2-3-1 in the first weeks of flowering. I dont know pH as I dont have a test kit. It is in a PC grow case right now under 3 26w 2700k bulbs. I have flushed once and fed with 1/4 strength of neptunes 2-4-1. It has been a week since the flush and doesnt seem to be getting any better. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

EEEEP haha test your Ph man get a tester. I would say its some sort of lockout.

It's your water softener.... They use some kinda sodium, a kinda salt.... Amounts to toxic salt buildup.... I buy r/o and ammend with cam-mag+.....
good luck
n hope they get better

I'm my opinion I think you should Stop flushing - you don't even know whether or not you should be flushing since you don't know the pH or cause of the issue! It's like shooting in the dark, you gotta make a more educated decision!

I had some lockout problems in other grows and flushing made things WAY WAY WAY WAY worse! DONT FLUSH!

Does you current medium have dolomite lime in it? If not you REALLY need to pH your water before you water next time.

Can you transplant? If you are VERY gentle and keep the root mass intact I'd say transplanting would be your best option . .

To me it doesn't look like a deficiency or even a lockout, but it may be. I'd say your first problem may be pH, but if definitely looks like a watering issue is also going on . . . either too much or too little . . .

My soil does have dolomite lime in it. As for the water softener, we didnt have the salts to put in it for a while, and all of our dishes were getting this white deposit. It was supposedly calcium building up, I'm not positive. I dont think its the water softner though cause the rest of my plants are doing quite well. So where do I go from here. Obvisously pH tester is a must. What is r/o ? reverse osmosis? test both water in and run off? As for transplanting, that is def a possibility, gotta mix up some new soil if thats the case. Any other suggestions would be great.

Looks super overwatered, most likely over fertilized, and probably a slew of PH problems causing lockouts.

I'd start over to be honest with you, those don't look like they'll be worth the trouble of trying to revive.

It's your water softener....

I just dealt with this in a buddy's grow last month, definitely never use softened water. Even at the right ppm and pH it's going to destroy your plants.

Our move - which proved to be the right move - was to flush with RO and then refertilize lightly. Don't flush with more softened water, though, because that's just compounding the issue.

Just got a ph test kit. my water is 7.8, clearly too high.

 

[Strainbrain]

That is too high, and sure will cause problems. But I'd still urge you to not use the softened water, even pH-corrected... in my experience it won't be any better for your plants at 6.7.
