Germainated 7 seeds just under a month ago. Had no problems for the first two weeks. Plants looked healthy and big.
I’m using coco coir pre buffed and perlite. 3by3 tent 100 w light. I did add low nutes straight away as I thought I had to but found out later I wasn’t suppose to. But the plants looked good so I thought it was ok. I was not always watering to run off as well as I read you could over water and kill the roots. But then I found out I was suppose to cos u can get a salt build up and nutrient lock out if u don’t. ( So many different opinions and I done so much research that’s where I think I’ve gone wrong). So I was feeding 5ml A and B canna and call mag for first two weeks then started seeing the yellowing leaves start to apear .My PH was always around 6 but I did suspect my meter might of been crap. I bought a TDS meter and tested my PPM run off and it was over 1500 and my PH was low about 5. So I started flushing and got my PPM to about 500 but couldn’t get my PH to 6 it was as always saying 7 but I think my PH meter was crap. Also I started adding Epsom salts to my feeds and a Foiler spray as I thought it was mag deficiency. After flushing I carried on feeding every two days but the leaves still going yellow. Ive cut a lot of leaves off as well but new ones keep coming. Ive just upped my feed to 5ml per gallon hoping it might fix it that was yesterday. I’m goner send as many pics as I can. If there’s anyone with some good knowledge on what U think the problem is and what I can do to fix it I would really appreciate some help as it’s driving me mad. I’m thinking of just giving it up as I live in a flat and I haven’t got much space. I just want healthy plants to look after. Sorry for the long post I just want to get as much info in case someone can help. Thanx for reading
