All fan leaves are now yellow and pretty much fucked, but i figured its worth trying to save it. I flushed the plant yesterday but it is just looking worse today. So i'll just post some pics and MAYBE someone will be able to help me, please don't post if you don't know what you are talking about.

Heres a straight answer: You need to feed them.
You said you flushed and it got worse? Right? So that means theyre starving and thats definetly a P deficiency you have.
*If you dont know runoff Ec and Ph then how do you know to feed or not or have nute/salt buildup? Do yourself a big favor if you decide to keep growing...BUY A EC/PH COMBO METER*

yeah what mrk said...


you dont help yourself by posting stuff like... "don't post if you don't know what you are talking about." or I would've said this yesterday... theyre starving and unless you're using cooltubes too close to the light...

its amazing how many growers try to get way with not having ph and ec reading equipment...

to borrow a phrase from old Swiss Tony ... feeding plants without meters is like making love to a beautiful woman in the dark... sure you might get the job done in a fumbly kinda way.. but how much more satisfied might she have been if the lights had been on ;)

I have a ph meter and my ph is at 7, i just don't know how much I trust it, I really feel like if anything I have been overfeeding.

what do your roots look like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????????/

if the medium is dry enough you should be able to lift the whole mass from the pot... if however you're not confident in doing this, then don't, as no matter how bad it might be now, it'll be a sight worse if you drop it or break the root mass open accidentally ;)

you can also have a look and see if any are poking out of the bottom, although those tend to brown and yellow from being outside the medium, so not the best indicator really... actually I would only consider this when the roots coming out are nice n healthy, otherwise its not worth commenting on ..


so, any general improvements? hope you moved that light away a bit mate ;) - 600watts (without cooltube) should be around 18+ inches from canopy top :)



p.s get some calibtration solution for your ph meter .. if you can't find any, try and find a bottled water with the pH displayed on the side and see how it looks with the meter (thats not a great thing to do, but if all else fails should get you close)
