plus she is so soft 2 touch and is really bendy to the point i could turn her top 2wards the floor if i wanted :confused: is this correct
she's a cutting from ak47 or n.y.c.d if that helps
 
Chill it shouldn't be anything too bad at the moment.

You should try and get a photo up if you can as its very difficult to diagnose without one. Alternatively you could check here

(change the hxxp to http no idea what the rules are about direct linking)

Looks like you,ve got a Mag def going on there,"or" it could also be getting the brown spots from nutrient lockout,have you tested your pH?

The best thing to do before doing anything,is check your pH and make sure your not locking anything out, my soil is reading at 6.6 and i try to keep it at this and i never go lower with a pH of 6.0 on soil,as this is when i start to see alot of different things start to happen

The reason i think it is a Mag def is

1- brown spots on the leaf margins
2-if you look closer at the pic you can also see some yellowing starting between the the darker veins of the leaf and around the brown spots aswell.
I enlarged one of your pics to get a better look at it, and the leaf tips are turning brown aswell,which is another sign of mag def

Is the whole plant like this or is it just displaying around the middle and the lower leaves? or is it just this one one leaf that has started showing this?, it,s the pic called "help please" you,ve shown in your gallery? as i can,t see the full plant pic clear enough.

if your pH is stable,you can water the plant with 2 teaspoons of epsom salts per gallon of water, or foliar feed her with two teaspoons per 1 litre of water and continue doing this until she shows signs of improvment,but if you have a way of testing the pH do it first before adding anything, as adding more can make your problem worse as you probably already know.

I hope this helps you abit,but i,m sure someone else will chime in on this one with a their opinion.Take Care man Hashish
 
Mag def

nice 1 hashish but new 2 all this and not sure what :confused: mag def is??
i have checked ph and it's around 7ish not got a proper reader
i did have a lot of the leaves coming up likes this but i was advised 2 flush it out with loads ov water then start all my newt's all over again which i did and it looks a lot better than b4:rolleyes:
cant wait till i can crop store and c if the wait has been worth it ;) ;)

Hi tf
Mag/Magnesium Deficiencey
i was going to suggest flushing myself but did,nt until you found out what your pH was
at a Ph of 7.0 it is high and will start showing signs of deficiencies at a pH of 7.0.
i have grown some nice plants and some not so nice plants at 7.0, when i did,nt use a pH meter but when i got it dropped they got even better aim for a ph of 6.4 or 6.7 and try not to go above or below that
if you have already flushed i would gradually start building her nutes back up again.
Do ?
If you have a hydro shop in your area, i would try and get a pH Meter or test strips, and a bottle of pH up and down so you have it at hand for adjusting your pH it,s not expensive either
There are other ways but it only lasts a short time so the Up & Down is good to have on standby
Testing your pH
you can buy the pH test strips like the ones i have put a link here for you to see if you can get them you will need the strips that read from pH 4.5 to 10.pH
Link To Test Strips
http://www.camlab.co.uk/item.asp?itemid=20603&categoryid=204

i would definitley try to find something too read the pH like those strips,and maybe in time you can get your hands on an inexpensive pH meter,i spent alongtime without one and i swear it was the best money i ever spent,if there is anything else you are unsure about tf fire away,and i,lle try and help, but if things are looking better than before, carry on with what you have been doing and see how she fairs out from this.
Hope that helps abit, but get your pH fixed and things start looking alot greener.Take Care Hashish
 
Just another question Tf,did you add any dolmite lime to your soil at the time of planting?
Does it tell you on your nute bottles if there is calcium in it?
The more i look at your photo in you gallery the more it looks like calcium def and a magnesium def combined,if the problem continues and you can get your pH stable,you could add one or two teaspoons of Dolmite lime per gallon of soil to correct the calcium def or add it to a gallon of water and water with it.hope that helps.Hashish
 
no there was no dolmite lime in soil my nute bottle doesn't say anything so going 2 pop down garden center at the weekend if i don't find 1 whilst i'm at work
i hate my job

Should,nt be hard to find Tf any good garden centre will carry it.
I was also meaning too ask how she's coming along, any better?/any worse?.

looking at her photo's i got from b4 i flushed her out to what she looks like now she's a lot better :)

i been taking 2 photo's everyday since i picked her up from my friend and another friend is going 2 turn them into a short film when she finished and then it goes on myspace lol and here if thats ok

on another note how many weeks should i stop feeding her so she's nicely flushed through ??:confused:

Thats good that things are looking better than they where tf.
Flushing
I usually flush for a week to ten days,depending on the type of nutrients i,ve used,it,s been along time since i have used chemical nutrients,but when i did,i flushed for the last ten days using a small amount of molasses in the water to help leech out the salts.
With Organics i flush for a week using the same method but my plants only get fed on half the recommended dose on the bottle thats Chemical and Organic
if you are using tap water
Remember to let it stand for 24 hrs to get rid off the chlorine i use an airstone in the water to help speed it up aswell.

Hope that helps ya Tf and good luck
