I am glad you started this forum. I had a problem last week and figured it was my old friend nute lockout. Curling leaves in both directions, along with nute burning.

Thanks again.

Great Forum!!

I am getting these little fruit fly's flying out of my soil when agitated, don't seem to be hurting anything, but I want to get rid of them just the same. My "No Pest-Strip" is over a year old now and has quit working, I will get another today, they work really well.

I have a link I would like to put up that tells you the PH of all the different bottled waters, for newbies or anyone having PH problems, knowing exactly is a must, and is a cheap alternative to the expensive PH pen.

I use the strips too but they only work for about 3 months and cover only a limited space so use them liberally is my advice.

Yeah leaf curling usually means ph problems.

Looks like I may just have to kick this forum off. My BLOG plant grow thread, seems to get a good number visitors but only a few posts. I recently had a bad ordeal I think was caused by pH dropping very low and salt build up. But I will go start the thread, sort of a cross-thread but not really, because I just want the opinions of what happened and what I did wrong to get there. I have theories, but I'm not sure.

Here's one I haven't seen before---I'm growing in soil, under 400W HPS, just went to flower and noticed these clean-cut holes, but only on a few leaves with no pests seen anywhere. Any ideas on what it might be ??? Any help appreciated !!

[MynameStitch]

are the holes right through the plant?

do you have a pet or something as well?

and did you look in the soil and on the plants leaves underside with a magnifying glass?
some of them are very small........ but with holes like that your more than likley to see the bugs if there is a pest problem......

did you have your plants outside as well?

[mIu4ea]

Hey MynameStitch, the holes are all the way thru---I don't have any pets---the plants have never been outside---I just looked using a 30X loupe, and there is a brown lining around each hole, like a burn residue---no insects here--mIu4ea
I did spray the plants with distilled water (the nutes I tried foliar-feeding with were leaving a white crust ), but I didn't think I had it too close to the light--the leaves above it are OK ??

[mIu4ea]

Well, I'm back again; this time it's a yellowing on the new growth of that same plant with the holes in the leaves. It's possible I got it too near the light, but I think it's something else. Anyone seen this before ??---mIu4ea
