New grower, couple of issues.

[ChemicalPop]

Hey all.

New grower here, currently running a single auto in a spacebucket and 2.5 weeks in.

I'm using a soil/Coco/perlite mix.
Ph 6.4
150w of Cree XT-E and XP-E LEDs
Watering as required, usually every other day.
Using a fertilizer mix of 4:1:4
5G fabric pot

As you can see in the pics there is definitely an issue, it's seems to have got worse as leaf edges are curling down as well now. (Will upload more pics later)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Turn your light down they are getting cooked

haha @cannafarmer420 you beat me to it,

my guess is over watering, &/or light stress which is causing nutrient lock out;

showing as mg deficiency. how high above is your light?, how heavy is the pot?

are you sure it's not water logged?

i'm not a dirt farmer, but there are plenty of them here who'll be around b4 long to help out.

here's a good reference to have:

Thank you both.

@FloridaMike, my soil mix is very well draining thanks to lots of perlite, and I wait till the pot feels light before watering so I am confident it's not over watering, but I am likely wrong lol

Light is around 23 inches above the plant, but the LEDs are lensed so do punch down well.

I will reduce light intensity (any recommendations on what level, I can dim down to 1%)

Thanks again

i don't know enough about your light to make a solid recommendation. venturing

a guess i'd say 50%, see if they improve. best bet would be to get a light meter so

you know exactly what they're getting.

Leaves are flat it's perfect, leaves are drooping too much light, leaves praying up at a 45 degree angle right before lights out and you need more light

Thanks again all.

Lights reduced so we'll see how it goes.

Think when you read about growing, you get told so much that the plants are massive light hogs, so you just equate that to max setting lol.
