Cindy99 3wks Old With Leaf Mutations

[chuey316]

Plants a Cindy99, about to be 3wk old in a couple of days. Grown in a 70/30 soil/pearlite mix. Feeding a 12-4-8 mix at 50% strength. Vegging 20/4 under 6 4ft t8's. 4 of the bulbs are 6400k, and 2 are 4100k. Air gets exchanged about once every couple minutes. Temp is around 73 lights on, 68 lights out.

Humidity was pretty low the 1st 1-1/2 to 2 weeks, sitting around 25-30%. I've got the humidifier going and the humidity now ranges from 45-50%

The last pic looks like some type of critter is eating your leaves. The first two look like over watering to me... How often do you water?

 

[chuey316]

Only thing I've seen is a daddy longlegs, pretty common around here. I water whenever the 1st inch or 2 of soil gets dry. Been giving a 1/2 gallon each watering till it gets a little bigger. Pots are 3 gallon.

I’m far from a pro but with the details you gave and the glossy bubbly look to the leaves I would be combing hard for bugs. Under leaves or at roots. New growth is effected and twisting too. I’d be scoping. And checking ph too. But I’ve got my own issues I can’t figure out so like I said. No pro. Doesn’t hurt to look though. Good luck.

 

[CaliRooted]

Seed or Clone? As mentioned I'd scope really good

id say your feeding to hot,3 week old plant in soil,what you said i believe,i wouldnt even be feeding them yet and if they told me they did need it,i would be at 1/8 feed for them and work my way up as they grew,just my opinion,could be wrong

 

[chuey316]

Plants from seed. I'll scope the leaves when I get off work tonight. Would it be a good idea to flush with ph'd water before lowering nutes? The plants working on its 4th set right now.

i would give them a water feed ,next feed go 1/8 or 1/4 strength

Thanks everyone. I got home and got to scoping. I checked a few different leaves and stems, front and back. Both those that look good, and those that don't. No signs of pest, so I moved to the soil. I took a hand full of soil, from different areas of the pot, and didn't find anything.

I ran a gallon of plain water through and let it drain out. It's worthy to mention that I have another Cindy, same age and size that has this too, but very minor, and never got any worse past the initial leaf or so.

Both of my plants are very close to touching my screen now, and I have been debating on fimming, but I'm afraid to do it with the way the leaves are looking.

 

[chuey316]

I think the ph is the problem. My meter goes up to 8.0 and it was just maxed out.

Fim any way - the plant can take it

I went ahead and fimmed my other Cindy last night. Will be doing this one tonight, or tomorrow.

Gonna start giving them some lower ph'd water when the pots dry out. Anyone know what range I should shoot for? I was thinking around 6, but not sure.

5.8 -6 is ok !

 

[chuey316]

Thanks hawkman. I'll keep with the ph around 6.

Should I just start watering with the ph'd water, or would it be better to flush with ph'd water, then go back to feeding with ph'd water? Hope that made sense. I'm pretty baked right now.

I'm really hoping it gets better soon. Even the leaves on the new side branching is looking this way.

give the plant a dry period of 2 or 3 to dry then start your new ph water - you are growing soil ?

 

[chuey316]

Yes, it's a soil grow.

 

[oldskol4evr]

Yes, it's a soil grow.

6.5 on soil bro

 

[oldskol4evr]

maybe this will help you if your gonna do numbers
seedings and early sprouts 100-250 ppm or 0.2 to 0.5
early veg 300-400 ppm 0.6-0.8 ec
full veg 450-700 ppm 0.9 - 1.4 ec
early bloom 750-950 ppm 1.5 - 1.9 ec
full mature 1000-1600 2.0-3.2 ec
soil ph range 6.3 to 6.8 6.5 has always been the sweet spot in my grows,,i dont even ppm or ph when i feed ,when i get that tiny tip burn i back down and try in a week or so,,soil is very forgiving and most times when folk have problems it due to over or under feeding,hope this helps

Got my meter in today. Up until now I've been using lemon juice to lower my ph. I've got sulfuric acid now, but mixed up a gallon with lemon juice to see where my ph has been. Turns out I've been feeding at around 7.3-7.5. Have not been able to test the run off because they've already been watered.
