Cannabis Troubleshooting

hi all, my plants have been flowering for 3 weeks today. from week 2 my nutrients tank has gone down 10L/day. no leaks. i have 2 Misty plants, approx 1.3m(4ft) high, 1.3m(4ft) across. Expanded Clay. both in 20L buckets. both have 400 HPS. flood n drain setup with feeder rings. 1200L/H pump running 24/7. 1 airater. using CANNA Flores nutes, Rhizotonic, CANNABOOST, and BudLink. dunno if it means anything but the roots of both plants have grown all the way to the bottom of the buckets, making a big ball of roots in each bucket. some roots even grew down the run-off hoses and into the tank. my first grow so i dont know if this is normal. plants look healthy. lots of bud…

hi, as you can see in the pic my plant has about 3 or 4 leaves like this, and the rest all look big and healthy. the plant is in week 3 of veg stage, using flood and drain feed method 1/2 an hour every 2 hours. plant is growing in expanded clay. light is a 400watt MH, 350mm/14" above the plant. pot size is 12". nutrients used are CANNA Vega at 3ml/L. using Rhizotonic (2ml/L), Superthrive (.25ml/L), Formule 1 (2ml/L), and budlink (5ml/L) additives. i also use a foliar spray once a day using the same nutes and additives at 1/2 strength. PH i aim for is 5.8 - 6.2. low humidity, around 22°C. the plant strain is a misty. any help would be much appreciated. thankyou.

Hello O/S's Does anyone know what would make a clone from a known female turn male when clones from the same mother remain female. I have only just strarted to have this happen and I have had about 3 or 4 do this in the last few weeks. Nothing has changed in the setup and all nuits / ph etc are correct. I veg with fluro's and flower with 600hps. love to know why thi is happening cheers RT

I seen a few of these weird bugs on my plant 2day. i tryed to take a pic but u cant tell the bug from the stem cos the bug is almost the same color as the stem just a little lighter green, bout 5mm - 10mm long, and there a oval shape. I cant pick them off there to fast whenever i get close they bolt around the stem or go into small places. does anyone know what these might be?

Here are some pics of my aeroponic clones, the two on the back have been in there for twice as long and have good roots as shown below. The new clones are yellowing in the middle of the leaves though, is this a ph problem? Tips burnt initially due to too high nutes (1.8, brought now to 1.6 now).

Hi Im currently flowering 2 plants in a small cupboard under a 400W HPS. They are growing in soil, watered by hand, with some 'thrive' fertaliser added every now and then. So far all has been going well, but now, 34 days into flower i have noticed something unusual.. Some of the leaves are turning yellow and darkening at the tips. Furthermore some of the more healthy looking leaves are darkening at the tips. Photos attached. I had afew ideas from reading through the forums - perhaps overwatering, or possibly some sort of nutrient deficciency. It would be great to get some opinions from the experts! Cheers

sorry about the lousy pics but it's as good as I could get. Under a microscope I can see bugs on the underside of leaves I recognise but forget the name of. So far I can't see any movement under what looks like a scab held a small distance off the leaf. The critter builds this 'roof' it lives under, possibly out of excrement. The larger, so far, are visible with my lousy eyes, the smaller only just so but a decent set of peepers would probably say otherwise. I'm actually suprised because if they are what I think they are the 'pest oil' I recently used chasing out the last lot of uninvited guests is expected to effect them. TIA

some of the new growth in my plants have brown soft leaves so i investigated a little and noticed tiny caterpillar/larve, they are no more than 5mm long and you gota pry open the new leaves to see them, I was wondering if tomato dust will kill them? just yesterday i sprayed the plants with eco-neem to get rid of any bugs and leaf eaters, will tomato dust do any good? I know i can get yates caterpillar killer but other than that is my only alternative to chop the new growth at the tips just under the leaf cluster? I dont mind as long as it doesn't have a big impact when flowering starts.

Hey guys, I am about 1-2 weeks away from this harvest. I planted some bag seed of mexican rag weed, (very brown and crappy). I have had great results growing Aero, You would think I bought some good seeds. Well I have a problem. Almost all of my bud are very potent, crystals, resin, sweet sweet smell. I have 5 main colas on top that are huge, but they have almost no smell or resin, crystal. The pistils themselves seem new (before they get furry with trichomes), but they are not. So I have these 5 big buds that are finishing but they have no smell or crystals yet! Side branches on the same plant however have very nice crystals! I dont think I got them to close to the li…

Hey ive been growing for about 2-3 weeks now outdoors in pots still sprout oldest is about 3-5 inchs above soil weather hasnt been the best, anyway a few weeks ago i found this nasty small orange beatle like motha f**ker on my sprout just chilling killed the kent and searched soil for more of the lil things found nothing. whats been happening is when i go to water or check i keep finding very small orange crap on the sprout now because of the orange beatle thing i figured bugs straight away but these things dont even move which lead me to believe it could be fungi but in all truth i have no idea what i am talking about because its my first grow yay for being clueless! …
