Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 My plants have gone into flower (week 3 now) and I noticed that on two of my plants (both Sativa's) the lower leaves started yellowing, then curling up and falling off - I think it is a "K" deficiency, nut this is my first grow and I would like some help. I have flushed all the plants tonight and will keep you posted. The last couple of photos is just showing my plants in general - other than this mishap, I am very happy with the overall results 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Do they come fro. The bottom of top??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Smelly Joe - it is at the bottom of the plants, the top growth looks fine to my untrained eyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Then I won't worry to much. If it's not spreading then it might be the leaf dying off due to to little light.If it gets worse and moves up the plant then we can start to worry. But that my opinion Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Smelly Joe - thanks for the help, my canopy is pretty "dense", so it does make sense, since those leaves get very little light - will keep an eye out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Pleasure dude. Have you tried defoliating a little??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Smelly Joe - I have done some defoliation, but keeping it to a minimum now that the plants are in flower - was wondering though if I shouldn’t remove some more leaves and maybe low bud sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I probably sounds like a stuck record but remove all the leafs that doesn't get light and those buds hiding in the bottom, remove them. They are just energy suckers. I leave some on so that I can have testers later on though .Defoliating plants is like the 12-1 / lantern grow method. People say no to the unknown but I am not one of those types and I said yes and did it. And my plants is now in week 6 flowering on the method and they look fucking great. Except for the slight rootbound but next run I'm going with bigger pots...... Argh there I go again sorry.Summory, go with what your head and heart says, try it and you won't be disappointed. If not just remove some of the bigger leafs covering bud sitesSent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Smelly Joe - I am pretty much on that train as well and defoliated a lot, but with the 2 SCROG nets up it is very difficult to get into all the spaces (small 4 x 4 tent) and I cannot remove the nets as the plants have grown “into” them - this is my first grow as mentioned and I just used seeds that I had in a jar - turned out 2 of them are proper sativa and now I am running out of space - the 3rd plant is a nice fat indica and I am super stoked with the way it is turning out. Planning on doing some Gorilla Glue Autos on my next run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I don't know indoor scrog but it's something I'm doing next run... Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Smelly Joe I just messed around with topping, scrogging and some other stuff, because like I said it is not proper genetics and I actually just wanted to see if I could get the plants to grow and flower and learn at the same time - although I must say I wouldn’t mind to take a clone of my Indica, that plant just looks awesome and fat - I even split her stem in half at the knuckle where it was topped and “fixed” it with duct tape - worked like a charm and so I learned something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Just keep an eye out for any more leaves doing that as that does look like a K def or possibly P def. Deficiencies start from the bottom of the plant and move up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 @420SA - I have lost some leaves over the 3 weeks - I use the FloraCoco Grow and FloraCoco Bloom products (think it is from GHE) - what can I add to supplement? I flushed the plants last night - got the EC down to 0.9 and PH is high at 7.0 - 7.1, but it was sitting much lower 6.3 - 6.5, so i want to see what happens when I feed next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That PH was definitely too high and most likely the culprit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 @420SA - I am growing in soil and perlite, the Ph was much lower, but I brought it up with the flush yesterday to 7.0 to see if that will not help - the plant I had most problems with was sitting around 6.0 - 6.3 until now - what I did see was the more I flushed the higher the Ph got, even though the water was sitting at around 6.7, the Ph went all the way to 7.2, so I don't know if I should flush more until it comes down to the exact Ph number that I am flushing with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oolong83 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 @Smelly Joe i did the scrog net and to be honest im seriously considering not doing it again. As @Spaceman mentioned, it get hard to get to all the spots, cant take them out, i just think it makes maintaining ur plants much harder, i suppose if u got enough space then its not a problem. For next grow in looking at individual trellis for each plant, those round ones. Dont get me wrong, the scrogg net does wonders for keeping ur canopy even, but wont work for my next upgrade i got planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider an automated watering system.Will make life easier.Defoliation only happens around 2 or 3 times during flowering.I'm keen to try a scrog sometime.
