I have endometriosis - doesn't bug me much lately, but its similar to PCOS- paralyzing pain. I started smoking weed for pain instead of the percocet, tylenol 3, morphine or whatever else they threw at me. It does help big time and I'd much rather smoke weed than be all drowsy and wonky from the pills.

Hey prine, I just got your message sorry, my life has been consumed with many things! lol
It looks like you got things under control then?
 
well, basically i did a flush to help with the lockout.
it took a few days to dry to the point of needing a drink.
the yellow/brown spot leaves seem to be less yellow/brown and they are getting pale now, and falling off.
the new growth looks ok, and things seem to be getting better slowly.

i brewed a ewc tea, just ewc and molasses.
poured it slowly to each plant.
then they got droopy, out of nowhere.
completely sad looking.
few days went, the soil got dryer.
at the point of still being a little moist, i pulled the big one out of the pot to check the roots, almost rootbound, starting to swirl around the pot.
so i transplanted it, and the others were ready too!

so hopefully today things look better!!
i thought this whole thing was a lockout situation but maybe
they just needed transplanted.
or possibly a slow overwatering problem. although the roots look brilliant white, and smell quite earthy not anaerobic. "yes i stuck my nose under there lol"
my wife likes to water the plants, when im not looking.
maybe that explains why she killed a cactus, lol hard to do. but not with frequent waterings.

if the lights come on, and they are still droopy then it might worry me.
i just want to be successful this run, i can post pics later today.

thanks for coming Stitch!!!

Again, sorry I did not get back to you on that; life is so hectic :/

Keep me updated on your plants and if you ever need something please feel free to ask!
 
im trying really hard to find a camera. but they are no longer droopy.
they are yellowing, kinda lime green.
small brown spots on the leaves.
 
basically the yellowing is more profound. almost bright light green, while the vein remains green. also brown spots on the more affected yellow leaves. affects all parts of plant, from new growth to old growth.

starts out like this, below

and ends up, whole plant lighter green. almost yellowish. to looking like this.

what did you use for transplant? - can you be specific?

getting light green could just be from not taking up N but it is probably too much lime.
 
well i flushed to your advice. added a ewc molasses tea.
after the tea, the plants got droopy and then the yellowing started.
i re-potted the one in the clear container, because it was starting to swirl around the bottom.
i checked the others, they were all almost rootbound.
even the big one, with the worst problems.


i used my soil mix, cut 50/50 with peat i just bought.
i dont think its too much lime. as i only used a minimal amount.
my soil ph is 6.5.
maybe the yellowing is due to overwatering and a tad too high ph for soilless. i dont know.
 
but its really not that yellow, still green between veins. take my first pictures, and imagine them paler, and lighter green. and the rust spots..
 
phosphorus, potassium, magnesium or ever nitrogen is plausible. Could be a combo of a few... most likely partial nute lock. double check your runoff. correct ph if needed/use a little epsom salt to pull it back. good luck:tiphat:

kinda sounds like they might be getting hungry now

balanced fert @ 1/4 strength~
foliar feed lightly

1/4 strength should be plenty assuming there's nutes yet in your soil mix (must be - right?)
 
im thinking of doing some fish poo, 1/4 strength.
or maybe since im going to flower soon, hit em with some foxfarm organic peace of mind
fruit and flower 5-8-4 as a topdress.
im wondering if the topdress will take to long to break down for the plants.
and if i should just water with some fish poo.
what do you think?
i have the dr.earth stuff too.
 
after reading it seems the foxfarm takes along time to break down, no surprise their.
and honestly im not the biggest fish poo fan.
i think i just might do the dr.earth. 4-8-4 fert tea, directions say to add 1 cup per gallon of water, so im going to add 1/4 a cup. 1 teaspoon molasses. bubble for 24 hours, then pray.
and im going to switch to flower soon after.

sound good to you xmobotx? anything you would change? ditch the dr.earth? use the poo? anything? im all ears.

We use an organic product called "Iguana Juice" by advanced nutrients which is quite nice- fish emulsion, oyster shell, guano, etc. Comes in veg and flower formulas. my moms/seedling/veg get that and a sea kelp extract. Using that and Liquid Karma (Botanicare) in flower (mostly organic). Iguana juice is a lot easier to work with- 3/4 teaspoon per litre. Smells bad but not messy. We use 20cc syringes to measure it- no muss no fuss. Plants are vigorous and love it, no probs with nute deficiencies. little pricey initially but stretches out well.
 
UPDATE

well, my cousin from outta town who i get some of these wonderful genetics from stopped by.
we took a long gander at my babys. followed by a few joints.
after i transplanted i gave them a medium size drink.
let them dry out. it took almost 4 days to be completely dry.
i started a low nute tea, hopefully to help out with the problem.
i decided not to use it.
as an experiment, we watered the two worst ones with epsom salts.
1 tbs per gallon.
2 days later, the leaves are vibrant green. and the worst leaves are necrotic.

the big plant, my special strawberry white widow pheno mixed with his amazing bagseed father. is already looking green and healthy agian.
i did not water for days, let it dry out completely.

so now i know it was a slight mag def, followed by overwatering.

im still slapping my self in the head on that one. its a newb mistake. and im guilty.

heres to healthy plants!!!

ohh and im super excited he brought me back a sample nug of our cross.
it still has the sweet strawberry smell, and loaded with trichs.
with an interesting hint of spicy, earthy goodness.
i think we finally got a winner with this cross. which took time, lots of time.
its drying as i type. cant wait to cure it.

thanks for the suggestion of iguana juice leeniebean!!!!!
