Need Help

richfletch · Dec 13, 2018

This is my first grow and I’m having some issues. My leaves seems discolored. They are 2 weeks old and I’m just curious what is wrong because I can’t tell through other pictures because the plants are more mature than mine.

Welcome to, The Farm!!Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
2. How old are your plants?
3. How tall are your plants?
4. What size containers are they planted in?
5. What is your soil mix?
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?
7. What is the pH of your water?
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
11. How close are your lights to the plants?
12. What size is your grow space in square feet?
13. What is the temperature andhumidity in your grow space?
14. What is the pH of the soil?
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
16. How much experience do you have growing?

1. I am growing from seed
2. They have been sprouted for 2 weeks today.
3. They are only a couple inches tall, but each one varies.
4. They’re in big containers from the beginning cause they’re autoflowering. I think maybe a 3 gallon container.
5. It’s miracle gro moisture control.
6. I water every other day, about 11 ounces per plant and the water ph is between 6.5 and 6.7, but I switched waters today to one with ph of 6.3
10. The light is a king plus 1200 watt LED grow light.
11. The lights are hung a good bit above them. 3 feet or so.
12. The grow space is probably 3x3 maybe 3.5
13. The temp is between 70 and 75, but I’m not sure of the humidity.
15. I did see a bug in the soil of one plant and I used to been oil yesterday on them.
16. No experience growing, this is my first time

All the answers sound good, except the miracle "no" soil. Lol.

It is a sticky, people just dont read :)

Also that soil might be a tad hot for them, dont know the npk values of the specific mix but it looks like a little overfed maybe (lights could be playing a colour illusion too). Mostly too much nitrogen. It’ll probably grow out of it.

By the way, 11oz of water every two days is a little much i think, for a plant this size at least. Just lift the pot and water when it feels light. This could be a contributing factor too.

One the pot too big. Eventually it’ll take off but could take a while. Start in solo cup size pots. Or little bigger. Let it root good then move up. Mykos. Add to soil roots love it. For now just water close to stalk. 4oz is plenty at a time for babies that size. I usually spray water em when real young. How low temps getting?

I didn’t see all this when I first responded.
Ok hold that 6.3 no higher. 6.5 locks out. Mg soil is said to be a no but it grows beast plants. It’s mainly the time release balls that feed too much n late on. And an k deficiency late flower. Try to bump lights on temp up closer to 80 even degree or 2 higher. Are you running dark period? Your stalk doesn’t seem to be worked. Do you have good airflow?
And the bug. If it ( they) springs around like a tiny grass shrimp it’s ok.
Anything flying? Or crawling on plant?
You are not adding nutes right?

Thats the problem with big pot and small plant, even watering. If you don’t wet the whole bucket, the soil dries out, but too much and the plant drowns so you picked the best soil for your first mistake. Not sure about the light distance, seems a bit far at 3’.
Another good general question is light schedule @1diesel1 Typical should be 18/6 on/off for veg. , with a timer. Good luck and welcome.
