When growing Diesel feminized seeds, it’s important to keep an eye on the condition of each plant. Unfortunately, browning leaves can occur. Thankfully, once the cause of the browning is identified, addressing it promptly can prevent damage from spreading to the entire crop.
The most likely culprit of Diesel leave browning is either dehydration or nutrient burn. Dehydration occurs when the roots can’t absorb enough water to meet the plant’s needs. This can happen because of over- or under-watering, or due to poor drainage of the soil or air that is too humid or too dry. Nutrient burn occurs when your plants are getting too many nutrients – either due to over-fertilization or poor quality fertilizers.
If dehydration is suspected, the first step to treating it successfully is to make sure your plant is getting the right amount of water. Ideally, the soil should be moist to the touch, without being soggy. If under-watering is the issue, make sure to give the plant an adequate amount of water and adjust your watering schedule accordingly in the future. If it looks like you’ve been over-watering, ensure good drainage from the soil by loosening the soil, adding perlite or sand to the mix, and using a pot with holes in it so that water can easily flow away from the plant. Lastly, if the air is too humid or too dry, take steps to redress the humidity in your grow room accordingly.
If nutrient burn is the cause of the browning leaves, the best course of action is to flush the soil with clean, pH-balanced water so that excess nutrients are washed away. You should also inspect the roots and trim away any unhealthy or dead areas. Finally, make sure that you use high-quality fertilizers, and make sure to follow the instructions carefully to ensure that you are not over-feeding your plants.
Taking a few simple steps can help you tackle browning leaves before they affect your entire crop. With a bit of care and attention, you should be able to keep your Diesel feminized plants healthy and productive.
