jables Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hi all, First time poster/first time grower, but long time lurker. I'm posting now because I'm really stumped with whats wrong, so I'm hoping that you guys will be able to assist and help me ID these problems. My setup:------------IndoorSoil (Canna Terra w/20% perlite)Water every day, nute feed (1/2 Lucas formula + cal/mag) every 2nd dayPH: 6 going in, about 7 coming out (approximately)20 degrees temp, 50% humidity450w LED4" extract fan through carbon filter Growing:---------------2 x OG Kush (autoflower) - 4 weeks2 x Jack Herer (photo-period) - 2 months* Yes - I know its weird mixing an auto and a photo-period. I will be passing the Jack on to a friend soon, but at the moment I am running both on 24 hour lights schedule (to maintain temps). Problem(s):---------------As you can see in the photos, I have 2 separate problems. The Jack has started to turn yellow at the base of the plant and this is spreading to new growth. Is this maybe nutrient defficiency or root rot? These plants are in 2 gal pots The OG has been getting these really weird brown/rust coloured spots on it. It is spreading to the new growth as well. I'm more worried about these than the Jack tbh...is this a fungi? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would hate to lose these girls! Thanks in advance!

ShitsNGiggles Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Looks over watered. Looks like leaf rust. Some nitrogen deficiency as well, be it from root rot or insufficient N IDK. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf99 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do you let it dry right out before you water it? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jables Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 thanks heaps for that. so overwatering can cause leaf rust? I might just lay off the water /feeding for a bit. How long would you recommend I wait between watering/feeding? I know people say to wait until the soil is dry, but is there generally a timeframe I could use as a guide (like every 4 days or something?) I'll up the nitrogen when i start feeding next too...the Lucas formula doesnt have have much nitrogen in the feeding regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf99 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 It will change during the plants life cycle and environmental conditions but 1-3 days i found when i grew in 2 gal smart pots. As far as nutrients, keep it simple stoner. First run just use base nutrients then once you get your first run out of the way experiment. Have a look at megacrop, super easy powdered nutes. Get the room right, ph right, and they will be happy. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile appI like coco, you literally cannot overwater it.

jables Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 In terms of watering - I dont really let it fully dry out. Maybe that is my problem? I'm probably killing it with kindness.... yeah I'll try what you said and wait it out. Next grow I will definitely switch to coco - seems like that is a winner.

papasmurf99 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's just about finding what works for you mate, the medium and the nutes aren't much of an issue, they all work, the biggest thing you can do is control the ph, ec, ventillation, temperature and humidity. And the right light for the right area. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nici Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 What type of led are you running? Those spots look like cal and mag issues. Ive found that with the "blurple" colour lights you do need to up the calmag a little. That pale leaf also looks like a nitrogen issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jables Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm running a viparspectra 450w LED. I have the bloom and the veg lights on, so it is 'blurple' type of light. I'll up the cal mag....I was doing 2ml per gal, but maybe I should double that? Thanks for the tips on that. I think the solution might be to wait a bit more between watering and up the nitrogen when I do feed. Would you recommend feeding each time I water?

Would you recommend feeding each time I water?Yeah, as long as you water to a decent runoff should be able to feed everytime? I'm not a soil guy though so can't take that as gospel . I usually use about 1ml/litre of cal mag in coco, not sure in soil. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
