ok, i think they got that on track now, so we’ll see if it fixes it, just have to give it a day or two, no need to compound mistakes if so,I would and have flushed organic soil. I consult for growers, you wouldn’t believe the types of fertilizer I have seen used on organic soil.
in this growers case. Given the nutrients fed It’s still the ph issue. The soil probably has high ph. And watering with high ph. Hmm.
Autoflowers are not for beginners. I know they sell them as a simple grow, but with the PH issues this grower is facing, they will be stressed going into flower and produce sad results.ok, i think they got that on track now, so we’ll see if it fixes it, just have to give it a day or two, no need to compound mistakes if so,
i could be wrong, i’d hope someone would chime in and say so.
they are looking better though something else is going on, it’s a young plant and you need to be gentle when dealing with their roots, as in overwatering, flushing, too much nutrients, hot, cold... etc
You’ll fit in just fine with that setup. You are open and figure shit out. Good on you! Most folks here are super helpful and knowledgeable.Okay, will go take a pic, but.... try not to laugh, it is a bit embarrassing! It is our first grow... so complete newbies here and without a great set-up.
Here's the set-up:
Set-up in a closet
2 boxes stacked together with reflective surface on bottom sides and foil on top sides.
Fan added to top of box (inset) (green cardboard, directing flow down)
2 CFL lamps and a very small LED - 4 strip
Cellophane on top to try and keep humidity in.
We were actually worried the lights weren't enough. So we have 2 three way socket(s) and different bulbs coming early next week, a couple of 2700K and a couple of 6500K. The ones in there are currently 40 or 45 watt 5500K (I think).
We have been able to keep the temperature in 72-77, humidity has been a problem (20-30%), so we bought a small humidifier to go in the box. Too small to make any difference.
I agree if its fertilizer been added... but if you have a bag of say ffof you only washing nutrients out of the soil and usually see a deficiency after. Unless adding more ferts.I would and have flushed organic soil. I consult for growers, you wouldn’t believe the types of fertilizer I have seen used on organic soil.

And then I cleaned it and apparently screwed it up somehow. And so, the tent is currently running much drier than optimal until the new one arrives Monday. Currently, I’ve got a microfiber clothing wet almost to dripping and then hang it in the tent front pole that one of the fans blows warmer air on. It helps. Before the tent, the trash bag and painters tape setup was far less sophisticated than what’s here lol.You want to increase humidity? @amekins turn him onto the fogger/humidity device you got.....i like it!
Seems to be working for amekins last i seen anyways....

5. What is your soil mix? Black Gold Natural Organic
7. What is the pH of your water? 7.4
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? Fox Farm Grow Bug 6-4-4
14. What is the pH of the soil? I don't know
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? A fruit fly looking bug (1 or2)
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm organically challenged but excess calcium can cause tip burn that looks much like nitrogen toxicity but without the claw. Light burn can also appear like that at first.5 -

7- Do you adjust ph after your nutrients are added?
8- looking at number 5 your soil is loaded and you shouldn't have to feed until your soil is blend.
14- You can perform a slurry soil test and find out what the ph or ppm is.
15- Fruit fly?>? makes me think your grow area is not clean>?
I get my readings wrong but i think you have a early and mid stage mg deficiency. I also notice tip burns and that indicates to much nitrogen.
I don't know your soil or nutrient but maybe @Aqua Man can help ya out.

The pattern of bleaching around the edges could kinda look like potassium deficiency but he is not getting the scorching that comes along with that.
I think there is a watering issue and possibly nutrient isaue but I feel the damage is light related.
Lmao have to live those guys... especially the ones that hand ya 30 bottlesya, the damage is definitely light. lol, told you, i never get my readings right.
Here is a funny storey that happen to my friend today! He went into a spencery and noticed their selling beans. So, he asked how do i grow it and he said you just drop it in soil and feed this to it.

Hey there without looking this up again you mentioned that your rh was in the low 30’s? I would increase it if you can plants at this stage love humidity get it up to 60 ish if you can. Your plants will love it broJust tossing this out... kinda looks like light burn/bleaching in addition to the other issues I think you got great advice on.
It could be nutes but just worth a look at.
ahhhhis read you have a humidifier coming perfect and improvise in the meantime with pail of water a broom handle and towels wicking up the water it works!!Hey there without looking this up again you mentioned that your rh was in the low 30’s? I would increase it if you can plants at this stage love humidity get it up to 60 ish if you can. Your plants will love it bro
