New THC Farmer to the Forum(Check out pics) NEED HELP!

[bdubbz4]

Hello, I am a first time grower and wanted to share my first time grow with y'all! I am mainly seeking for some tips and recommendations for my plants.


I am growing 2 blow dream autos by Victory seeds in a 3x2 closet using Destiny’s dark matter organic soil. The lighting is an Electric sky 180V2.
I have been keeping temps between 70-80 degrees and humidity between 40- 55%.
I have top dressed once with 1tbsp of a mix Gaia green 2-8-4 and 4-4-4 about 5 weeks into the grow.

As you can see in the pics there are some deficiencies going on(lots of yellow tips and some browning)... I am just not sure of what exactly its lacking. I have two plants and the one seems to be a lot healthier than the other. Although the healthier one is starting to show the same symptoms as the other sick one. I have noticed alot of the lower fan leaves have turned completely yellow or have died off. and pretty much all the tips are yellow or very light green.

I am doing lots of research but wanted to also get some personal opinions from real people!

Thanks again in advance for any advice and happy growing!

Not true. Such misleading information. Although this statement is true during the last couple weeks of flowering. Week 3 shouldn’t be looking like that. What’s your ppm of the run off? It looks like could be a cal/mag issue.

thanx for the correction ,i did state they look good to me

What’s your ppm of the run off?

Agreed. There is something going on that has locked up (not completely but noticeable) things here. Enough mobiles to burn the ends but the chlorophyll is not in great shape and showing muted deficiency.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I currently do not have any tools to measure PPM. I guess that is something that I should look into.

I would like to add that I planted the seeds on march 24th and noticed first pistils on april 23rd. I top dressed again with 2-8-4 and watered the plants yesterday. They perked up the leaves pointed right up to the light . Not sure what exactly this means but it looks like it had a positive impact.

Ec meter and pH pen are pretty important especially when problems arise. The ec meter allows you to monitor the nutrients going into your soil and reading the run off ppm allows you to understand how much of the nutrients the plants up taking. Example: 500ppm in, 500ppm out would mean your plant isn’t up taking any nutrients. Lower ppm out is a good sign but higher ppm may signal some kind of build up of salts within your medium. Hope that helps a bit.

Ok good to know.
I have a PH pen and have been watering between 6.0-6.5. The runoff measures 6.8-7.0. I will look into purchasing an EC meter to measure ppm. Do you have any suggestions on good brands ?
i have heard good things about bluelab but they are quite pricy. I dont mind spending the money but curious to see what else is out there
