First time grower browning curling leaves

[PK1]

how old are the plants? These were photoperiods right?

Photos yes plants are probably close to 3 months now… cold and dry did not grow much the first month lol.
As far as nutes the first problems I had with brown tips curling leaves was after first nute treatment so I got scared and backed down. Was only going 3 tsp of GROW BIG per gallon of distilled water every other feeding up to date now. Switched lights to 12/12 over 3 days ago now

ok, never send your girl to flower when their in deficiency or toxicity. Also, when you go to 12/12 never go back as it will take a month to reveg and if you screw the light cycle than the plant is brain dead until she figures what you want and than she will punish you for doing that.

So back to the feeding. FF nuts are hot so at seedling stage you half the amount they tell you in the schedule. If you make a mixture and see the numbers are to high then remove some of the mixture water and just add more water to it to achieve the ppm/ec you want. You can hold the mixture water for next feeding.

I don't use FF nuts but just follow their schedule. if you upload your schedule i can look at it and see what you gotta do.

Ok thanks man yeah I wasn’t planning on switching out of flower since I made the switch to flower already… I did jump the gun should have got them healthy first.

I can follow the FF nute schedule now especially since I got some readers to have an idea of what im giving them. It’s good to know they are hungry

Definitely jumped into it without preparation haha I’m a fruit farmer thought I could handle this easier! I think I got a good handle to get the next grow perfect, hopefully this one works itself out ok

dnt worry, we've all have had our share of mistakes. lets see the feeding schedule

The schedule I have done or I am going for? If it’s what I’ve done here it is: (haven’t wrote anything down learned that’s import

water every 3rd ish day, alternate between distilled water one feeding and then 3tsp grow big/ gallon distilled water the other. Some feedings I went nutes back to back because they looked hungry

for future I was going to follow the chart and see how readings/ plant react. It will be more nutes than I’ve been throwing at them.

no, like the actual schedule that FF nuts is saying to follow. I see different once online

Send me what one you would recommend maybe? And I can see how they react

Also I just went down to find out my light timer hasn’t been kicking them off, they’ve been having 24 hr light I think.. maybe good thing I can get healthy now before flower

you should probably get a scrog net actually two layers would be better

Think so? I was planning on supporting with strings supporting from to top of the tent, be more work but I thought I was late to put up netting

@2Bad is right, get a second net.. Trust me.

Definitely not too late.

Ordered two nets they should be in Tuesday. I watched a few videos should I try and put it low train some shoots through the squares? or just put it above plants so it grows through? Going to switch to flower this week they’re getting tall fast now

Since your plants are already fairly tall, I'd go for option 1. I would lower the net to a point where you can easily manipulate and even out your canopy. If the tops are poking out through the screen around 5-6", they should be fairly easy to maneuver without much effort. After you flip to 12/12 you can put the 2nd screen around 10" above the first if your plants are really stretchy. It might not be necessary.

If you're really running out of vertical space, you can supercrop to get your screen even lower but since this is your first grow, I'd take the easy route above.

Ok I’ll go option 1 and just not push it too low. Low enough to weave some shoots without hurting them.

Babies are looking better than ever switched to flower 2 days ago thanks for help everyone!

 

[jguit]

Looking great! Keep on tucking those tops under the net so that you get a nice even canopy.

Babies are looking better than ever switched lights over to 12-12 to flower Sunday night, they are really stretching fast now!
