    Hey there,

    My husband and I started growing a few months ago. I will admit my husband does majority of the work, I enjoy cutting it down most of all. Our plant Zkittles is about a week away from harvest. For the past 2 weeks it has looked like this. This is only the plant that had it until today, our Strawberry Cheesecake is now looking like this and she is 7 weeks old ( Day 50). We can not figure out the source of the problem. My husband has tried everything and tried to zero it down, but nothing seems to be helping. He was thinking maybe to much nutrition but he scaled it back. We did have a small problem with gnats, but nothing a little neem oil and sticky papers couldn’t fix. He flushed Zkittles, and gave it a little wood ash and just uses straight water. We use Cocoa, fox farm, and perlite as our soil. We would just like to figure out what’s causing this to help Strawberry Cheesecake.

    thank you.

    Welcome to the forum! More info is needed in order to properly diagnose.
    1. What nutrients have you been feeding the plant and how often?

    2. What is the pH and PPM of the soil runoff?

    We grow organically, terp tea bloom. Twice a week, mix in water and let it sit for 24hrs. They only drink like 2 cups of water and we wait for the dry back.

    Our PH is between 6.5 – 7.0, we use pool strips to test. We don’t have a PH Pen, but will get one soon. We use tap water from our fridge so it’s filtered.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, it’s been hard trying to find answers, even in discord.

    My husband also says Congratulations on ChillOut OG!

    I know generally when growing with organic inputs that a lot of growers ignore PPM and/or pH, but if a problem arises then those can be useful measurements. In your case, without the PPM measurement, we are just guessing what the problem could be. It could be too low of PPM indicating it needs a feeding, or too high of PPM causing a nutrient lockout.
