3 weeks flower-- PROBLEMS - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Rabid Peach · 08-21-2005, 01:34 AM

i have four Gumblebum (g13XSour Bubble). i have been using ph drops to test with and keeping ph around 6.5. (hard to tell with the drops though). I have am two weeks into feeding with 15 ml/gallon Pureblend Pro, Liquid Kharma, CalMag, and Sweet. They are in 8 gallons of pro-mix.

everything was fine until last week, i thought that i overfed. so after about a day i flushed with clean ph'd water about 8 or 9 gallons per pot. the leaf tips were turning a bit. it seems that it has gotten worse and the stems are purpling. can someone tell me what i should do?

i just put them a 1000 hps as well they have been under a 400. they are about 15" from the aircooled HPS. day temps 82/ 70-71 night.

here are some pics.

thanks

I am not an expert.

But, my advice is to chill a bit and wait for a proper diagnosis. Rushing to try and fix possible problems will most likely hurt your plants more. Stop adding nutrients and make sure your soil dries out properly before watering again. Also, you might want to think about picking up a PH pen to check soil PH levels.
Your plants still look good.
It is probably just a slight nutrient burn or PH fluctuation.

seems to me it's a slight phosphorous def. as she gears up for some massive bud production... If the fan leaves knock off easily, then a slight nitro def. as well...

Hi Peach...

15 ml/gallon Pureblend Pro<<< Is the the bloom formula?

When I put my girls into flower... I still feed a bit of PBP Grow for a few weeks... while making the transistion to full flower nutes. The purpling of the stems to me would indicate just a slight N deficiency.

Flushing too may compound the problem a bit by over saturating the roots with water.

However, after 3 weeks of transition to flower... I back off off of feeding N.

well i dont know what strain u r growing but your plants look good to me.
just let them grow and you will be rewarded shortly.

p.s leafs pointing down could sometimes be do to lack of oxgen in the medium.
maybe you overwatered them a bit

thanks for the help everyone. i gave them a little PBP grow and PBP Bloom today. just a touch, i think the phosphorous was the problem.

i love these gumblebums, the best strain i have dealt with!
