Lower leaf necrosis (is it mites?)

Peace seeker · 08-02-2009, 11:16 AM

The lower leafs are really affected and it seems like it's spreading upwards. Turning spotty, then a few days later brown on the edges and then dying.

Its eating up my fan leafs.

the top leafs/new growth isnt affected.

I might have overfed with both bloom n grow, since they re in preflower. Or maybe i gave em some epsoms way too early.

I dont remember. So busy with other things atm, i havent been feeding on regular doses like i do indoors. Measuring with "the eye"...

soil is allmix
outdoor grow

Any idea what it might be?

Gotta save this Cough.

I'm going to say something to do with nutrients... Doesn't look like mites in my opinion
just flush with ph tested water for a couple days
if you flip the leaves over and see little black spots it's mites... And they suck little yellow spots on top of the leaf not similar to your yellowing... More like little spots
I would would say just flush with plain water

thats what my partner thinks as well. Nute burn.

didnt notice any black spots underneath the leafs.

I ve been giving them plain water and will continue to do so.

Lesson to be learned :

Even with bio soils and nutes, you can damage the plants if u aint carefull. Measure your ml's and dont feed soon after repoting. The new soil has plenty of nutes.

Its funny cause i ve been giving advice on this issue to many new growers, but i didnt do it myself....

Aha.. I've done that too... I actually just over ferted my babies... Spider mites are small but you'd definetly be able to see them and or their damage and I haven't seen any on yours... From the pics I've seen at least...
That looks like a leaf from a nice sized plant got any of the whole thing? Cough did u say?

i ll post some pics of the whole plant. Its not a huge one. 50" maybe, but quite lanky since it doesnt get alot of light where its at (stealth reasons). I ve trimmed all the lower leafs and left only the top. Going for one fat cola in one and two in the other one (topped and LSTed)

Well, the reason i gave these coughs a try is to see how i like them, so maybe i can start some indoors in the winter.
