Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? Large 20 gal plant is from seed.
2. How old are your plants? 82 days old from seed.
3. How tall are your plants? about 12 inches
4. What size containers are they planted in? 20 gallon.
5. What is your soil mix? 40% Ocean Forest and 60% Strawberry Fields then added an additional 2 gallons of perlite to this mix. Added some worm castings a few weeks ago.
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? About every 3-4 days.
7. What is the pH of your water? 6.5-6.6
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? No fertilizer, and botanicare cal mag at lowest strength.
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? No
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? LED TS 3000 at about 350 true watts, 20 inches.
11. How close are your lights to the plants? 20 inches.
12. What size is your grow space in square feet? 16, I'm using a 4x4x80 grow tent.
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? 79F at about 47rh
14. What is the pH of the soil? Never checked it.
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? I did have fungus nats but all are gone with use of mosquitoe bits and yellow stickys.
16. How much experience do you have growing? Had one good grow with coco and flora treo, this is my second grow and using soil this time.
The main issue is the leaves are mainly yellow although some of the lower leaves (very few of those) are darker green and I don't want the plant to die before harvest.
This plant is supposed to be Acapulco Gold, a tall plant (presently only about 12 inches) from crop king that has a flower time of 8-9 weeks. When I first germinated I let the seeds dry out to much and lost 4 out of the 5, that was first mistake. When the seedling stage started I had a stoner moment and set the timer to 16/8 and only noticed when I saw hairs growing and changed to 12/12 (day 22 from seed). The plant is now 82 days from seed, very short (which I can deal with) but not exactly sure what week of flower I am in or why its so yellow and how long I have until chop. Should I add nitrogen to try to make it green (or is it so close to chop it is normal yellow), or should I add some flower fertilizer (4-35-26 cultivation nation), or do nothing but water?
After thought, What caused the plant to be so short?
I hope I typed this in a manner that can be understood.
