New grower, running into possible issues...please help!

[Halfpint]

Hey there everyone!
mom so happy I found this website!! So I started my new grow journey in an effort to grow my own medicine. We have a grow tent, humidifier, Co2 bag and a grow light. My babies are going on three weeks in the pots, and one is doing really awesome but the other one is concerning me. I will post a video of my set up. The smaller one is developing some brown/yellowish spots on the leaves and there is starting to be some white film forming on my walls of my tent. If anyone has any advice or help I would really appreciate it.

Go ahead and post your temp, RH, and maybe how often you are watering. that will give the guys some insight.

Which mars hydro you running? Looks like the ts1000? I'm running that same light in my 2x4x4 and loving it

Cheers

Move the fan so its not blowing directly on them, temp could be a bit higher and so could humidity. Like 75-80f and 65% humidity.

Those pots are to big imo so watering may be a challenge. You need to be able to thoroughly water and if you do that it's going to take forever to dry out. However the soil looks like it has good drainage so that's a plus.

Try watering about 1" out around the leaves for now.

The white stuff on the walls is minerals from your humidifier. I suggest using only distilled or RO water in it for that reason

Just to save ya some money. Drop the CO2 bags they don't work and your not in a sealed space. I won't get into the detail but I promise you they will make no difference in your setup.

The video shows the thermostat with humidity, and temp and we are watering only when the top of the soil looks dry and the soil under feels like it’s drying. I’m not sure what RH is.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Thank you so much for your reply.

If I were to take a guess as to pinpointing the cause of the issue with the one it's the fans blowing directly at it.

Thank you for the response, it is a sealed tent I just had it open to show everyone the setup, and the plants.

We are using that light, our tent is currently a 2X2X4, but we have a gorilla tent coming that is 2X2.5X5.5

you will need an exhaust fan vented out the top and open the intake flaps once those plants get a little bigger. In order to control temps and humidity. I don't want to push my views on ya but really save yourself the money and avoid the CO2 bags they don't adequately produce and once you add air exchange the negligible amount will be exhausted out. In order to get benefits of CO2 you need to be well over 1000+ ppfd and that light won't really do it. Not that there is anything wrong with it and it will grow good weed.

A 4" fan should work great for that tent. I would suggest cloudline t4. It's a good budget fan with temp and humidity controller built in.

I don't wanna go all ham overloading you with info but you may want to start planning for controlling the temps and humidity in the room that the tent is in. The reason being once you add air exchange the humidifier heater etc will suck all the humid and temp adjusted air out and be drawing in the air from the room it's in. So it better to control the room the tent is in rather than the tent itself... If that makes sense.

For now all looks good though.

Okay thank you so much! I was getting worried about the spots on the smaller plant but I appreciate all of the info!

Checking my babies this morning. This is their current state. Should I be concerned?

Nope... Old damage won't get better and may even get worse. New growth is where you want to concentrate. Give it at least 4-5 days to see some improvement.

 

[Aqua Man]

What type of soil are they in and what nutrients are you using if any?

 

[Halfpint]

Just Miracle grow soil we haven’t done any nutrients yet. And we are only in the second week now. They were planted on the 18th. The new leaves do look good.

Yup sounds like your on the right track. Won't need nutrients for a bit yet

 

[Halfpint]

Okay y’all we are on day 15 of my baby girls being in their soil. This is their progress.

 

[Halfpint]

Plant 1 is Northern Lights. Plant 2 is Amnesia. They are both Autos. I think they are looking good! What do y’all think?
