Ok, second grow, running into drooping, slow growth, purple and red stems, and now leaf discoloration and spots in veg (like 3 weeks in. Can anyone advise? Thought maybe phosphorous def or mag def?
pics attached, here are the specifics:
- 2 ilgm ww fem
-soil - mix of black gold nat and org and whitney farms seed starter
-added perlite, a little vermiculite, bg ewc mix
- 3 gallon fabric pots
- in a colder/drier environment than ideal, temps between 65 and 75
- feeding with city water, letting chlorine gas off for 24 hrs or so, done 2 waterings with Schultz plant food, low strength.
- I’ve top-dressed with ewc mix cut with potting soil twice.
- fungus gnats are present, not super worried, but I’ll get some yellow stickies soon.
- I’ve topped one, trimmed a little on each plant, want to get these girls tall enough to start scrogging soon, but no lst or other training yet.
- I do this by feel more than anything, but didn’t run into this last run with a very similar setup.
My best guesses are phosphorous def or cal/mag issues, likely made worse (or caused) by overwatering, low temps. I think I up-potted too soon, direct from solo cups, but even with fans and heat underneath (low level, stuck an incandescent bulb under the pots.
anyway, thought I’d dealt with it by letting them dry out, gave a tiny bit of water after a few days, a little more yesterday, and now it seems to be getting worse again.
I have a mars hydro ts600 over each of them, read that high light levels causes faster use of phosphorous. I’m confused by one of the graphics about nutes because thinner leaves at new growth and small inter-nodal spacing is under phosphorous excess.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers!
