Hey guys,
First time grower here, so apologize in advance for being a n00b.
I'm 3 days into 12/12 and notice some problems with new leaves being light green and leaves towards the bottom curling up and dying (they break apart very easily in your fingers). It also seems like the growth is somewhat stunted but I attribute some of this to the 12/12 change. :
Strand: Mr. Nice G 13 Skunk
The leaves towards the bottom (on all plants) are doing this:
When you touch them they almost just crumble in your hands.
So let me explain what's going on.
* My tap water is hard AF so I've been primarily using distilled water from the grocery story. The days I do use tap, I correct using pH Down by General Hydroponics to get it around 6.5ish. I have a moisture meter, but I really only water when they feel "light". On average this is every 2 -4 days with 1 gallon of water per plant (they're in 5 gallon pots).
* Around 01/01 I noticed what I believed to be fruit flies around my plants. I dismissed it until they started to multiply, which I later diagnosed as fungus gnats.
* On 01/08 - Originally thinking I was dealing with a nut def I added some Shake N Feed all purpose miracle grow to the soil. I also moved my light up *300w LED* to give them a bit more room to grow.
* On 01/12 I added Mosquito Bits to the top of the soil and sprayed the leaves with 1 part 5 SM90.
* For the first 2 weeks of 2017, my room became really humid with RH around 70%. I began to notice one small patch of White Powder Mold (reason for the SM90) and was able to increase ventilation in the room so it's now sitting around 35-40% RH.
So that's where I am now. I ordered some Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Soil for Plants, 1-4-5, 1-Quart today to begin adding during the flowering process.
Can someone much more experienced than me let me know what I should do?
THANKS!
