First time indoor grow

[IrishRob]

The humidity has been 40% and under with 2-3 fans going. After a lot of reading and chatting with others, 99.9% sure it’s calcium deficiency. I was using filtered water instead of letting my tap water sit out along with keeping the ph around 6.0, making it hard to absorb certain nutrients. Rookie mistake lol.

I use filtered water also.

Yeah I was only doing half strength of the bites this whole time and it still seemed to cause some issues so I’ll be using even less from now on :/

This is what I did and it seemed to work great. I would start with 1 gal of RO water, mix my nutes following fox farm feeding chart, plus i use iguana juice and flower fuel. I would mix it all then cut it in half. That way their getting all the nutrients just in much smaller quantities. With the RO water i had more room for nutrients. Some people use it with luck some dont. The best tool in your garden is your shadow. Just watch how your girls react and then you react

Start of week 8 for the older plant, Daphne! Unfortunately I woke up this morning and she is looking worse than ever I’m really hoping she levels out now that I’m watering with a ph of about 6.8. I may add cal-mag to her watering if I don’t see an improvement in a few days. I have about 3-4 weeks left so I just need her to hold on until harvest. Huge mistake on my part watering with filtered water and keeping the ph around 6.0 each watering. I like to let my tap water sit out for 24 hours at minimum and then ph it and I tried cutting corners using filtered water that I could water with right away. Big mistake but still learning as I’m going. Second plant is at day 16 and is doing very well so far!

I watered the older plant this morning with ph’d water at around 6.8-7.0. I thought she was possibly looking better, but then checked her now before bed and I feel like things are increasingly getting worse I’m seeing a lot of black spots now with a lot more yellowing. I haven’t been using flowering nutes since I first discovered the rust spots. Possibly nutrient deficient since she so far along in flowering and hasn’t had nutes in like a week or so? I don’t believe it’s mold because of the spots start out yellow and then brown and now black, but I could be very wrong as well.

I would feed her a balance.

I’m not sure what that means

Like a balance of some grow and some bloom.

Wow I definitely should have known what that meant lmao thank you! I’ll be doing that next watering. And I should still try to keep the ph up above 6.5?

Maybe right at 6.5. You don't want to be having lots of swings.

Ok, THANK YOU SO MUCH

Sadly the older plant is looking worse and worse. I’m completely out of guesses on what’s going on and most likely it’s a few different things happening at once. She’s almost 9 weeks and with at least 2 more weeks until harvest, I’m not sure how much worse she’s going to get by then :/ I fed her a balance of nutes with a ph of about 6.5 yesteryear morning. I’m hoping that at least slows down the damage to the leaves Second plant is at 19 days and doing well so far.

 

[Milson]

Keep feeding her and give her some time imo.

Thank you my friend I can’t complain too much, I like how the buds look so far at least.

9.5 weeks for bigger plant Daphne and in week 3 for smaller plant Velma. Almost time to flush the older plant! The leaves continued to look worse up until about a day or two ago and it seemed they slow down or stop dying thankfully.

 

[SyLane0988]

Week 10 for bigger plant! Started her flush and pruned off some dead/dying leaves. She’s still hanging in there from whatever issue(s) she has. Trichomes are cloudy, some at the top turning amber. Impressed with the size, look, and smell of her buds! Into week 4 of the smaller plant. The LST is looking really good so far. I’m hoping for an even bigger yield with this one as long as I don’t run into the same issues with the lead spots.
