Hi it’s better for us to see without the led light I think by there look there doing fine just be patient with them . Regards Od welcome to the farm .Hi there,
Need help with identifying the problem with my plants. I’m just not sure if I’m over paranoid or if things are really going south.I am a new grower and just started my first grow. I had 4 autoflower plants growing in 3 gal smart pots in 3x3x6 grow tent under 600W Viparspectra LED Light. Growing in coco, with about 20% perlite and used Gaia Green as a fertilizer mixed with coco. Light is about 44 inch away from the plants, and is at its maximum height. It’s been 11 days since I planted first 2 germinated seeds in the pots, and I have attached pictures of my 2 plants that I have so far. Other two seeds were planted later (3rd died due to negligence, and 4th is on its 5th day after being planted into the pot.
I have attached pictures of my first two plants, they look really light green at the top and I’m afraid there might be something wrong with them and need help identifying the issue. climate conditions are what seems to be perfect, 60% humidity and 25 degrees during the day and 21-22 at night.
would really appreciate any help!
Thank you man. I will take a picture without led tomorrow and resend it. Would appreciate your help.Hi it’s better for us to see without the led light I think by there look there doing fine just be patient with them . Regards Od welcome to the farm .
Here is soma pictures I took without LED’s under a day light. Do they look burnt to you or am I just paranoied?I’m not a led user as yet but I think come down to 36” for a few days see if they slow up the Etiolating (stretching) , if not maybe 24” above them , I’m sure there’s going to be a LED wizz on here that will shed more light on effects of LEDs , ,
Thank you Sir! What do you think about light discolouration in the leaves? Does it look fine to you or do you think I might have an issue? Could this be a sign of issues with under watering or over watering?You can definitely get the light to roughly 24-28 inches above them. Will help with stretching and in a few weeks lower it to roughly 18 inches

Sounds good, thank you guys! I will lower the light today and see how they respond. The reason I was hesitant to lower it was the discolouration on the leaves that looked like light burn to me, but I guess it’s notThis early I'm always very hesitant in giving a prognosis as, honestly, there isn't much you'd want to do anyways since they're so young and fragile. Just keep us posted
Thank you man. I have put dome lids on them 3 days ago, to give them more humidity. I started them in the final pots based on the recommendations I read for growing Autoflowers. I only have used slow release Gaia Green 4-4-4 organic fertilizer that was initially mixed with coco and I wonder if it could be causing the problems? Do you think I need to use Cal Mag supplements as well for the healthy growth?Think those leaves are fine, most new growth has a bit of lighter coloring initially at the center. What's the volume of those bags, you've got your seedlings in? (just went back in the thread and checked 3 Gallon) Water/both under and over is a thing for seedlings, just keep that under control. I like solo cups for this stage, as then I can see the roots (poking out of the bottom holes) when it's time to up pot to a larger volume growing environment...Also gives the grower the chance to place baggies over the tops to help retain more humidity while in this stage...noting with Coco watering has to happen more often, but good luck just the same.
Thank you man. Just went and bought calmag, guy in the store said he had the same issue with his seedlings in coco with appeared to be cal Mag deficiency. I mixed half of what is recommended by the manufacturer and watered one of my plants to test it. Will let you know how it goes.No experience with coco, so not the best source to answer that question. As a new grower I'd choose a combined supplement regimen and just use that.
Thanks man! I agree, people here are awesome and very helpful! Thank you all guys!Yes if in Coco perlite mix Cal mag every feed all the rest of the answers that the other growers have given are very good got to love this community.
1/2 strength is good start then bring it up to the full amount I think is a good way to proceed od .Thanks man! I agree, people here are awesome and very helpful! Thank you all guys!
do you think I should be feeding calmag with every watering at full strength?
Thank you again! This what I’ll do, will water with Cal Mag half strength for 3-4 days and then will go full speed:)1/2 strength is good start then bring it up to the full amount I think is a good way to proceed od .
Hey man and welcome! Let’s explore this together lol
Hey man and welcome! Let’s explore this together lol
I’m using MoKoko coco substrate and I didn’t do anything with it except adding slow release Gaia Green 4-4-4 organic fertilizer.
I will now be feeding 1/2 a dose with every watering to see how things go.
