Hi there, Im growing 6 plants in a 1.2 X 1.2 grow tent with a 600w hps and i've been in 12/12 for just over 2 weeks, i'm using the whole line of canna nutes and going by the canna grow schedule, i've noticed on one plant some colouration on a few top leaf's. Any idea what this is and if it is a problem, all my other plants are feed the same and they dont have this colouration. See attached picture.

how often do you water? could be several things, make sure they are drying out between waterings and make sure your ph is right around 6.5. maybe need to check your soiil ph, you may be in a nute lockout situation in which you would need to flush your plants with ph7 water, 2 gals for every 1 gal pot size. water slowly to wash any salts left over, and check your runoff. also, get some distilled water, put some soil in a cup add the distilled water then mix well, check ph there, make sure your soil isn't getting off balance.

Hello peeps! I missed my nice cozy spot here, been gone for a long time! I really miss being on here everyday.....

I took a leave of absence to spend more time with my son he has aspergers and we have been treating him bio medically and he is starting to finally recover after 8 years of being sick! Praise the Lord Amen! He has come a long way my son has, he is finally able to laugh at the TV and is understanding things like a normal child now, my son was very badly vaccine damaged from 2 months old frmo his first sets of shots after that he was never the same and never slept, so now he is normal and is not running around the house doing OCD and hyperactive anymore! Had severe viral infections from his shots and had yeast and bacteria overgrowth and much more and now we are correcting the balance to bring the body back to normal, so if anyone needs help with growing I will be here now so post away! Missed everyone!

Hey stich, you still around? Got a friend of mine that has some issues with his plants that need adressing/diagnosing.... Heading over to his place now to snap a couple pictures and will post them in a bit. They had been going really good and I think he got a little excited with the feeding before transplant. When he put them into the smart pots the soil mix for the Blue Dream I think was a bit hotter than he expected and so what had been a little tip burn on a few of the Dreams has turned a few of them yellow, almost completely (under HPS), under normal light they look a bit more green, but still a faded green vs their past vibrant green. If he flushed the soil out well, would the nutrients in the soil be leached as well meaning he would have to supplement nutes during the rest of the cycle? Also, it's only the BD that's being sensetive... There are other strains like Sweet tooth, space queen, lemon og, and some misc WW crosses that once trasplanted have taken off with no sign of buring. Is it out of the question to think they might actually recover as they grow larger? Maybe with a half flush? They're not too far gone in my opinion, except one of them... Also, should he wait to flush until his last watering has dried from the pots? Pics to come, any help prior is appreciated.

Hello there!
Do you guys know what this is for kind of bug?
Its small, like a few millimeters. If you touch it or get close they jump away, like a grasshopper.
What i could see, there is some small holes in the fanleaves some leaves looks the same as being attacked by a snail.

Anything to be worry about?

 

[Neontomten]

After some more research, caught one and looked in a microscope. Compared to pictures on the internet i found out that this bug is a springtail.

I've read some good and bad news about them. Some said they are good for the soil and other's says that they are true evil against the plant.
But i will not do anything about them. If i see some big difference or the plant's react bad i will start to mix up my poision!

root aphid fix?

root aphid fix?

these pictures are from my veg side. i'm using a 76 site aero system with a 40 gallon res, hydroton, t5 lights, and straight lucas nutes @ 0-5-10 (800ppm@ .7) and h2o2 added per ozgrowa's formula.

the bugs were not visible two days ago. they are only on the roots. a few have climbed through the net pots onto the tops of my trays, but they die there, probably due to the hot shot strips i have hanging. in case the color is not clear, the fuckers are red to tan in hue. i've tentatively identified them as root aphids.

have i called it correctly? in two days, they have made short work of the hairs on my roots. what is the fix?

i've heard three things:

1. more peroxide (i'm sketchy on this, having already gotten burned this way once),

2. pyreth-it, 6% pyretherin, 60% piperonyl butoxide solution (from the guys at the hydro store who sell it for $600/gallon— have to consider the source),

3. and bayer merit (about which i know nothing).









THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi

This is a PolarLight#2 from Dutch Passion, autoflowering version of Dutch Haze. It shows some signs of deficiency or sickness. What is it?

ok. i think i've answered my own question. treated my res with 2.5ml/gallon of 35% h2o2 and 2ml/gallon of pyreth-it. in less than 24 hours, the aphids have all but disappeared. i'm going to leave that brew in my res until next nute change (middle of next week), and then replace it with a systemic (merit) just to keep the little bastards at bay.

NOTE: DO NOT GET PYRETHERIN AND PIPERONYL BUTOXIDE ON YOUR SKIN IF IT CAN BE AT ALL AVOIDED. I DID. THE TINGLE IN MY FINGERTIPS LETS ME KNOW IT'S WORKING. THE SUBSEQUENT NUMBNESS DOWN MY ARM LETS ME KNOW I AM PROBABLY FUCT FOR LIFE.
