I have a high low temp gauge -- the high says 96, but it has read that since summer when it was 118 outside and I had the sensor out there in the heat. It was in the 70's in the tent last night. low 70's -- Should I take the light off the plant? what can I do?

 

[HemperFi]

The Ph says 7.5 -- I have no way to check PPM --The nutes I fed her with had been sitting a few days -- I didn't PH them before I watered -- it might be nute burn I guess -- The rest of the plants have not been affected in the least.

 

[HemperFi]

yes Puffin, I lowered the lights, but they were off all night -- I opened the tent just after they came back on -- I was sitting looking at that very plant when the lights went out last night -- thinking how wonderful she was looking.

A ph of 7.5 will cause all sorts of things to go out of whack....up there you are locked out of a bunch of nutrients.

 

[HemperFi]

The light wasn't any closer than 20 inches -- not right on top of the plant. Perhaps the flush will help -- damn, I hope she doesn't die.

 

[HemperFi]

I have flushed with water PHed to about 6 -- is there anything I can do? -- just wait and watch?

You have to get a good routine down for ph'ing your water and feed....especially in flower. 6.3-6.8 for soil and I keep everything at 6.5. I also recal my meter every other week. Jmo

That's just water in the third pic -- I sprayed it with water just after I saw her and then PHed some new water and gave her a flush. Her leaves look ok, just all twisted up and curling -- sheesh.

 

[HemperFi]

should I flush more?

 

[Locked]

should I flush more?

Nah....if you gave her a good flush that is all you can do. Now let her recover...just make sure you check the ph of any water and feed you give her. It's a PITA but I always check every time with my meter.

Thanks Hammy -- Hell, I don't mind PHing -- I do it all the time -- had PHed those nutes earlier, so I thought they were fine. My bad. I don't have a PH meter that I trust -- I have been testing PH with the GH drops -- I THOUGHT I had it down. I just hope that plant doesn't die.

 

[HemperFi]

I tossed the nutes that were in the bucket so I could get fresh water to flush with. Wish I had saved them so I could do a test now. Oh well, peaks and valleys are what make life interesting -- and hard.

Peace

 

[HemperFi]

Sure is one funny looking plant now tho -- damn.

 

[HemperFi]

It was the only plant affected, so it HAD to be the nutes I gave her.

I hve probably thrown this link at you before but this is where I get my meters >>Eseasongear.com. Good prices and good service.

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks for the help ppl -- I'll give a report later.

 

[Roddy]

Kinda looks like heat damage, but hard to tell from those pics...

How much water did you use to flush. Generally you want about 3 times the size of the pot for a flush--1 gal pot, 3 gals of flush water.

Since you do not test ppms, how much of each nutrient are you putting into a gal of water? I am really thinking nute overload and/or pH issues.

Plants can be quite resilient, she may well recover just fine. If you mix nutes and let them sit, I think they should be bubbled.

 

[HemperFi]

Anyway, I don't believe it was PH. I think I must have put too much of one nute or the other in the water -- and it probably PHed fine, but was deadly -- my bad -- I feel terrible.

 

[HemperFi]

I believe I will flush again -- I only put about 4 gallons through her. I will give her a good flush.

Thanks Hammy -- I'll get a good meter soon.
