1st Time LED Hydro Grow w/ Nirvana Seeds Northern Lights Autoflowering

[Sense I. Milla]

yah pics would be great... are the leaves that are twisting the new leaves or old leaves?

 

[ReadySetGrowD9]

its on an old leaf i dont think that its anything serious but here is a pic of what im talking about thanks :)

 

[Sense I. Milla]

I think your ph is a tad high. Are you using tap water? Those girls wont get all there nutes if the ph close to or over 6. I water my girls with the ph at ~5.5 to 5.4 Its nothing serious like you said but I think it could help. What's you nute mix? How often are you changing the res.? Just wondering lol...

 

[ReadySetGrowD9]

im using the GH 3 part nutes the system came with all im adding is SM90.... the Ph has been steady at about 5.8-6.2 for this entire grow, from what i have read in hydro the ph should be a little higher then soil (i hope im right lol).... i change the rez about 1 every 2 weeks or so

Update Day 60 From Seed

Here are a few pics from today (day 11 of 12/12)

5.8-6.2 is optimal, you want that little drift to ensure all your nutes get absorbed. how many mls per gallon of micro, grow and bloom you using?

 

[ReadySetGrowD9]

im following the bottle exactly i dont have em here so idk the numbers sry

 

[motherlode]

ok when you add to your res do you make your nutes full strength, same as you would when you make a fresh res?

also even though the bottle doesnt indicate it, its very important when you make your mix that you put in the micro first, and mix really well, then either the grow or bloom next it doesnt matter, I always mix b g p. also important to mix well in between each different nutrient.

i have a 4 gallon rez so what i usually do is get 4 gallon jugs of purified water and add a plain bottle of h2o and then mix the nutes seperatly in each gallon and then put them in the rez.... does that make sence??

 

[motherlode]

sure - but you should just get yourself a cheap 5 gal bucket to save you some work - also make our "addback" mixes (any that are in between res changes) half strength. your prolly running your nutes a little hot, but without a way to measure ppm you cant be sure.

sometimes less is more

It is only doin it on the one leaf thats in the pic in post #82 and i havent seen any other leaves do it so im really not that worried about it since the leaf that it did it on is old growth and all the new growth looks 100% perfect :).... i wouldnt put it past these genetics honestly since there supposed to be autoflowering and arent idk if i can trust anything that they told me these seeds were.....

 

[Radio_Dread]

yep i agree there doggy. you will be totally fine. are you dead set on auto seed only ? or do you have room for espansion? i would go with a different style of seed next time dude and you will be very please. but if not keep up the good work on your autos.

You are sweating the small stuff with that leaf twist RD. First it is just one leaf. Secondly that leaf is still nice and green and working.

The biggest thing to me is the flowering. Today is day 11 according to my math. They should start pushing out multiple pistils very soon. They should have dozens of easily visible white pistils on Monday morning. I would have thought they would be there now. Monday will be very interesting.
