hang your light at 26-30 inch asap, its seedling,not fully grown plant.

OkiDokiCat · May 12, 2020

Thanks I will hang it higher!

Does this look like its on the right track? Light raised to 26 inches. Leaf edges are still curling. Noticed space between nodes is larger too.

Soil may be too hot? Or light stress. You might want to go 36”. I had my
Light too close in the beginning and stunted growth. Let the soil dry out before watering again. Maintain a good wet/dry cycle, especially in FFOF. I also had an issue at the beginning of my grow with over saturation and not enough air flow. Question. What is a FF light warrior in the middle?

I made a hole in the center of the ffof with a solo cup and filled it with fox farm light warrior. Was originally gonna use only ffof then I went to the store and-- well-- The bag says "seed starter" so it was an impulse buy!

Just be careful as you’re growing autos and they are usually light feeders. I don’t know what’s in it but it may have fried your roots. Make more than one hole. Pop about 4 or 5 holes on the bottom

This is what it looks like so far. About 30 days since germination. Is it looking okay? How come the leaves are not sticking out horizontally and look sad and droopy

Is this normal?

Over watering do you water till 10% run off abs soil mix is to hot leaves are twisting and slightly clawing . How is the plants drainage ? Do you leave it on cold tent floor or are they up on a rack ?

I dont water until runoff. Am I supposed to even though i dont use bottle nutes? I was afraid of saturating the soil because it took 5 days for it to dry out once so ive been giving it smaller more frequent waterings. Also its on a metal wire racking where air can freely flow underneath the fabric pot.

Yes you need to water till run off every time you feed the little frequent waters are making it water logged and is unhealthy for the plant . OD.

Thank you so much for helping me. She looks so happy now.

This is a great strain and you'll be pleased with your harvest. They are super finicky with nutes, though, so take it easy with them. It's looking much better now.

Cheers,

When seedling is that small you need to back off your light, i use 600w led and for a seedling that size i back light off to 34inc, here is a pic of critical auto. Do not feed till seedling is a small plant.

I still ph the water at 6.3. I dont know about the soils ph or how to do it? Also the grow area has been warmer, 83 farenheit daytime and high 70s night time if that helps. Thanks for being here!

I just wanted to point out that the pictures from June 6th with the interveinal shades of purple turned out to be really early calcium and/ or magnesium deficiency. They turned into brown/black spots and the bottom fan leaves started yellowing from the outside edges going inwards until they died. I've been using full recommended does of calmag listed on the directions of the bottle and it seems to be helping new growth.
