i would start with your pH.

what is the pH of your water?

what is the pH of your runoff??

start there, then when you get your pH stabilized, wait about a week for signs of recovery/deficiency.

more info would help diagnose your troubles.

what kind of soil?

how much and what have they been fed? how often?

Im leaning more towards a mag def. Notice how the chlorosis starts from the leaf tips going inward.
The affected leaves and stem coloring looks too light to be a Phosphorus def IMO
EDIT:
Oh yeah,....Definately not a calcium def, as the new growth looks good. More than likely its a Ph issue.
Check the pH and let us know

Same thing u use in your bath to relax Wal-Mart’s health section 5 bucks
I would use Cal-max from your local hydro shop. Calmax has more then just MG in it and will help. I find plants suck up the Epson fast and then u may run into more problems
:joint:

I bought some pH UP and watered them today with some adjusted water.
The runoff is now between 6.5 and 7.0.

To make things worse, the clones I was given have a couple spider mites. :yoinks:
I moved them to the corner of the room, put up some sticky strips and sprayed everything with neem oil.



Should I wait until I get this problem fixed before I transplant?
Thanks

Just to be a pain in the ass.. lol.. To me.. it looks like neem burn. I did this myself not to long ago and when he said clones and mites I put 2 and 2 together and got.. The guy that gave him the clones sprayed the hell out of them or did a neem dunk just before he have them to him. It takes a few days for it to show up. The leaves from the tip turn dark green and crisp. I could be wrong..

Ive had the problem for atleast 2 weeks prior to recieving the clones.
Thanks though.

My buddy sprays them with 1/3 ISO 2/3 water to kill the mites. Anyone ever tried this?



Sounds like it could be hard water...

I am going to wait a few days until I get my pH stabalized before I try anything else.

[edit] I am using the same soil for all my plants. The fiesta mix showed this problem about 2 weeks before the sour bubbles, any idea why?
