It looks like they were not watered enough, probably from those small bags....why even bother with bagging their roots in like that?
That's true! I think too much!
This time i will just dig holes and change the soil without any bags.
Also water polymer's I wouldn't recomend unless its really a big issue to retain water as they expand when they collect water when they expand it will make your soil more compact and there for making it harder for your roots to move around freely.
yup that's exactly what i'm talking about. I would mulch before I went and wasted my money on something like that.Like the water crystals? I was wondering how they would do with cannabis.
Good luck, I foresee a better grow in your future.
I used a biological pest repellent, but maybe it didn't work...cimis and minime's pics tell the story and the plants in those pictures died from Powdery Mildew. Ive fought it for years and i know it. Unfortunately last year it was rampant in many areas and killed countless grows, including 2/3rds of mine. Powdery mildew is a fatal condition in cannabis. It is systemic in nature and by the time a thin, opaque/white film is observed on the plants, death is immenent. The first indication that there's a problem is the unusual yellowing of leaves, even on the upper part of the plant and within a week or 2 nearly all of the primary and secondary fan leaves will yellow and drop from the plant and it will die. If you see white powder on your plants, dont worry. Thats downy mildew and its harmless. The white powder with PM is very subtle and you may not see it at all.
Powerful systemic fungicides can be used successfully but are dangerous and great care should be used.
Here are some suggestions from Chimera.
