This is my first time growing!! What happened to this plant??

[Parakeets]

This is my first time growing. I thought I was doing it right but look at my plant. What happened??

 

[Newty]

What light are you running?
How high over the plants?
What intensity?
Temps? Humidity?

What nutrients are you feeding at at what dose?
Have you changed the dose recently?
Look light green to me like it needs nitrogen but if it's just the top leaves it could be just the light.

 

[FortyThunder472]

Tell me what’s going on here?
Specs
When you started
And so on

It looks like not enough humidity, or too much heat.

What are temps at, humidity, VPD

I have the vivosun LED lights. 18 inches over the plant. Full out on intensity. Humidity controlled by Dyson at 70% Temp inside the tent usually 78 degrees. Nutrients are all Fox Farm at half dose. Started Bloom nutrient last week and using 3 times a week with cal mag once a week. Half liter of water per day. Soil pH usually 6.8

How big are the pots? Watering every day for me is a big no no. You can cause root rot and also mold and fungus gnats love wet substrate. Ideally you wanna have dry periods in between watering. You wanna water the whole substrate making sure you make it to the bottom and then dont water for 2 or 3 days, if youre not sure how much they need wait til the leaves get droopy and then water, they will go back to normal.

The pots are 5 gallon fabric pots. I didn't know about not watering daily. They are 7 weeks old. I'll definitely stop the daily watering.

The weird thing is that I have 3 plants who have had identical treatment and only one is showing these signs

I use Recipe 420 Bhang soil in a 5 gal bag and if they don't get a drink every day they let me know about it pretty quickly. Well to be clear I give them a full watering every other day but on the in between days they wilt if I don't give them a little supplemental water to hold them over in between. Eventually you just get acquainted with the weight of the bag with the medium you're using and you can pick it up and know when it's time to water.

Recipe 420 has a soil called Hy-Por that's supposed to be great if you are an absolute idiot with watering. More forgiving with over/under watering.

Edit: Should also mention plants' water demand differs between indoor and outdoor grows, and differs with outdoor grows based on climate. I am in Southern California where our winters tend to be drier than the summers in terms of relative humidity.

Looks like my plant when my timer forgot to go off and didn’t drain my plants for 48 hours. I got one hell of a nutrient burn. Try not to give nutrients every feeding either. Maybe do every other feeding. I have 5 gallons too and I water every 2-3 days in pre flower.

The picture below are from my nutrient burn as well as over watering.

I see, most soils here in Spain are pretty straight forward and they all look and feel the same the only difference being that the more expensive ones dont have as much half decomposed wood. The only major difference in between soils here is from peat to coco, I did have to water every other day with coco but they were 3gal pots, had to swap to coco because peat in small pots was staying wet for way too long in winter. Yes it all depends, thats why I asked size of the pot, humidity he said 70% so we already know those pots are not drying very quick. Outdoors is another world, you can have big ass pots, in a hot summer day they might need daily watering hehe youre right.

Ouch, did you flush them already?

 

[Parakeets]

I wonder if flushing would be helpful

It was from my last grow. The timer for my hydro cubes froze. It was a sad bummer.

I would def wait three to four days. Stick your finger all the way in. If it’s dry, give it some straight ph water. That’s what I would start with. You’re in the flower stage, and they don’t look too bad. Just hold off on nutes if you’re feeding them.

 

[GNick55]

raise your lights 10 inches higher at least,..

 

[Phyto]

Water thoroughly, until you get runoff (10%) then don’t water again until the pots are light. You said your feeding bloom nutes 3x a week, way too much!!!!!

 

[Captspaulding]

That’s light damage. Well actually more so heat damage when a plant has damage that isn’t systematically starting at either the top or the bottom of the plant and the only the most exposed parts of the plant exhibiting damage like that it’s 100% an indicator of light output, being too high or the proximity of it being too close or a combination of the two. And a lot of the newer top, most growth is also showing leafs curling upward towards the light otherwise known as tacoing

I honestly never had problem with my 150W panels being at 18 inches. He has 3 100W panels and even though the second plant is showing signs mostly on top the other one is showing them from top to bottom. Maybe Im wrong I dont use Vivosun never did, but it seems they have disipators, mine dont even have disipators, they burn your hand to the touch . Anyway, just making sure, because you guys use some beast panels and even though I tried to search for that model PPFD chart and I cant find it it cant be much different from other same tier 100W+ panels.
As I said, I dont know, maybe Vivosun panels have much brighter LEDs than mine and more efficient and can cause that, just giving my 2 cents. Also he said the temperature is 78ºF is not that hot, thats like 25ºC right? Maybe a bit hot for flower but nothing serious plus I checked the VPD chart and its okay for his stage a 78ºF and 70% humidity (even though I dont like the humidity that high and even less in flower but the VPD show its optimal for early flower)
