Light Burn Or Nutrient Issue or something else?

[GNick55]

Awesome. I won’t make any changes in that case and I’ll just observe the new growth. Thanks again all! Really appreciate the quick help. I’ll post some pics in a week or so and hopefully these guys/gals are raging!

yes keep posting so we can watch and react if needed..

Too much light and too much nutrients can be too much at a young age. Think for example like feeding a newborn baby fried liver and onions with a soda an adult or teen can digest that fine but it would not be so good for a baby. And I think it is even harder to dial nutrients with f1 lines since there is a lot of variation between plants?

Makes total sense.

I’ve been watering once ever 3-4 days while I’m the 3.5” square pots. Now they’re in the 5 gallons, gonna have to see how long these take to dry, but will be some time.

As for feeding,
They didn’t get get until 2.5 weeks after sprouting. I’ve fed them a few times but only with worm castings, making my own extract. I literally used a tsp of worm castings for 1 pint of water and just stirred for a few mins
I fed them one other time with organic gem fish emulsion at 25% the recommended dose. They’ll be just getting plain water for the next week or so.

As for the lighting I’m really confused. I use a par meter and measure 180-200, which seems low for these plants, no? When I measure the lighting, I’m put the PAR meter facing up and read the meter. Is this adequate? Since a lot of light is being reflected from the sides of the tent, could my intensity actually be a lot higher and the meter isn’t picking it up?

i grow and have no clue about par readings..
you’ll learn to watch the plant and see what it needs as you grow more and more..

Light doesn’t look like a problem according to your temps and humidity your vpd is okay if it was too much light or anything your plants would curl and brown and die.

Lighting=check. So It had to be a nutrient or watering issue.

Interesting.. So what would you do in my case? I used the big 6 from build a soil during transplant because I was worried maybe it was a micro issue and build a soil says there blends end up being low in manganese. I mixed the soil myself but it’s following the coots recipe. 1/3 pumice, 1/3 castings, 1/3 peat moss + amendments.
I’m thinking to just give it a few days and see what they do. I was planning to top dress with some craft blend and bokashi next weekend. Do you think this should happen sooner or would you wait?

Hey all, little update, coming a little later than I wanted. I think everything is looking really good 2 weeks after the transplant. The growth has really taken off. They’re just starting to show the pre flower, so I’m tying to figure who is what currently.
