Ok but you have to tell us your symptoms, do you have a headache, chills, are you sleeping fine?

Ps your plant looks good.

Lol...my bad. Thought I was see some discoloration on the leaves. Its my first grow so maybe I'm overly cautious.

 

[Dannyboi84]

so I was concerned about the discoloration, and tips being curled

I am guessing a little nitorgen toxicity (the downward curling of leaf tips/ very dark green) It's also showing def of cal/mag OR its locked out due to toxic soil. I would check PH of the soil ASAP, and I am assuming itll be on the acidic side. If so, flush for a few waterings.

The lime green coloring isnt worrisome, more pronounced because of the nitrogen tox showing extremely dark green foliage.

I am pretty new, so hopefully someone will correct me or add to my analysis. Either way, cant go wrong with doing a slurry PH soil test.

Yeah the light green is fine, I had the same concerns

The ph level is 5.6

The ph level is 5.6

There's your answer. I would give it straight water only for the next week and see how it reacts.

perhaps others will tell you to flush, im not keen on that.

Curious as to what the media is?

Ok that makes sense. Can probably start a very light dose of nutes. These plants about a month or little better old now? The older leaves showing some clawing are from when the plant was younger.

The newer light green is a bit more than normal and usually that's seen when you have very fast growth but this looks like a bit more than that and possibly a micro deficiency. Which is usually caused by over watering. Now over watering is not watering to much but rather to often. I'll link this for you to read rather than just retype it out for you.

Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it

Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...

I am just curious for my own knowledge, is the 5.6ph partially to blame as well? Not trying to question the advice, just sure up my own thought process. I appreciated the help you gave me on this problem a while back.

How did you test the soil pH?

Do this: https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/HO/HO-285-w.pdf
(Easiest way is just to water and then after about 1/2 hour tip the pot and test the pH of the runoff.)
as I doubt your FFOF is @ 5.6

Yeah I agree... should be pre buffered. That makes me suspicious also.

I use it for starters and it’s normally pretty solid around 6.5

Yeah either high ammonium nitrogen, massive amount of microbe soil respiration or possibly the lime is not activated but that's unlikely as it doesn't take more than a week or 2.

First thing I'd check is that meter 100%

You should start selling your testing solution.

It’s my first grow so I can’t speak with any experience. That being said, I’m growing in FFOF as well and I have very similar coloration to you. Likely similar issues as well. I was initially watering small amounts very frequently for fear of overwatering them. I have since learned to water to saturation and then wait until I lose about 80% mass verified by my bathroom scale and then water to saturation again. I water slow giving about 500ml every 5 min until signs of run off which is working out currently in week 4 to roughly 3500ml every 4 days in the 3 gal pot. Also, I’m amending with Dr. Earth following their feeding schedule exactly. I’m super happy with the progress. Seed was popped April 15th. Good luck with the grow! Looks great so far.

My Ladys, first time grower too. They actually are stinking up my back yard already. Good thing I didn't grow them inside. The aroma coming off these plants is amazing, not even flower yet.
