Does anyone know whats causing this. Im using Miracle grow soil. XD The Ph was 4.5 i used hydrated lime to raise it and thats when this started happening. Bottom leaves started to die off first and now the bigger fan leaves are going. I plan on flushing it tonight and repotting in a 5 gallon bucket with some new soil.

hey there s4, i dont know much about it, but if i were you i'd look into the possibilty of nutrient burn. had a friend with the same problem, and he cut back the nutrients (it was a hydro setup, though) and it cleared up soon afterward. maybe the miracle-gro soil is too heavy on the nutrients for the delicate ganja? who knows...

I was just giving it water, the only thing that was feeding it was the shit that comes in the MG soil. i think flushing it and repotting in some compost will do it. Just bought some blood, bone meal, and som all purpose 6-10-10 plant feed. I figure mixing the bone in with the all purpose will provide the nitrogen that the feed lacks.

Hey s4 , Hope your well ,

So its obviously been burnt the fuck out with the Lime , either way too much , or a reaction of it with the ingredients of the MG soil mix. I've never used lime for the PH of Mullies , I don't think I would.

Anyway , I reckon you've got it , give it a flush and transplant it into some fresh soil , maybe something different?? I dunno about a MG soil mix , might be good.

Someone will know.

Good Luck with it.

I'd look at repotting int4o some3 decent medium (compost) & not worry about 'flushing'. If your thinking of using added ferts go real easy as a decent compost will have plenty for the plants needs.

 

goodluck

actually went and checked on my compost pile and dad must have used it for the vegetable garden

just get some regular potting mix to start with and you can add extra nutes as you go

definatly fertilizer burn, flush the soil u should be right, re-pot into new potting mix might be a better idea.

 

was the lime u used for plants because the stuff the they use in cement is very harsh on plants.

 

good luck

Just got back from flushing my plants, I flushed with 3-4 gallons of 6.8 ph water. I'll have to check up on 'em in the morning. Generally how long does it take before i'll see some sign of improvement?

 

@Breeder - yes it was lime for plants but i fear i may have mixed in a wee bit too much.
