In-Depth Information
A)
Look at your problem and quickly search for any bugs. When you
have completed this search, eliminate any bug problems by using the
advice in the bug chapter. Also note the type of attack to make sure
that it is not a bug problem AND is a nutrient problem, which can
happen. Do your leaves look sucked and dry? Do you have any black
dots on them like bugs? Try to tell the difference between a bug attack
and a nutrient problem. Nutrient problems damage the plant on a
somewhat consistent level. Bug attacks are less consistent in the
damaged generated. They leave damaged patches everywhere on your
plant.
If the problem seems to affects only the lower portion of your
plant and or a bit of the middle then read B). If it is only effects the top
of your plant and the tips then you should go to J). If the plant is
covered with the problem then go to F).
B)
If your plant is in vegetative growth and the leaves are going very
yellow, then you need more Nitrogen. If your plant is in flowering and
you have stunted growth, yellow leaves and it looks to be dying then
you need more Nitrogen. If your plant is in flowering and does not
look like it is dying but looks red or dark green/yellow then you need
to treat it with more P, which is Phosphorus. If these do not help then
go to C.
C)
If your plant has leaves that are curling up, twisting and are going
yellow then check to see if your light is burning them or if the grow
chamber has enough air circulation. If this is fine then you need to
consider adding more Mg which is Magnesium to your plants. Epsom
salts are good for this. Add 1/4 - 1/3 table spoon of Epsom salts to 3
gallons of water is fine. If you still have a problem go to D).
D)
If the tips of the leaves turn brown and curl slightly then you are
looking at a K problem which is a Potassium problem. If not, move
onto E.
