What is going on with this?

Desplegdo · Aug 7, 2024

This plant has started to turn colors on the leaves was hard to tell before now but it's definitely alittle more noticeable could anyone tell me what's going on?
Temp and rh is 72-74°f rh is 50-55
Growing in mother earth performance soil
My feed ph is 6.2-6.5
runoff ph is 7.28
It's an auto and I'm pretty sure it's entered preflowering not 100% just read that when stigmas/pistils show up its in preflower

How long has it been growing? What light schedule is it on? Unfortunately for the plant, I wouldn't waste time finishing it would give you at that size. If it did go the typical month so like this, then the problems should have been addressed earlier?

It just started having them definitely stunted bc of me and watering and everything but I have 3 growing they popped on 6/30
Light intensity is at 75% at 16 in bc they were burning or so I thought from the leaves

So about a month? what is the lighting schedule?

Oh, well I really couldn't tell you what the leaf discoloration issue is, but I would guess that because it's in flower it might be more delicate to it's environment. Maybe too much nutes if you're giving it? Maybe needs calmag? Just guessing. I'm just interested in why it's flowering so early. I wouldn't waste my time finishing it, if you can start a new grow in that same area to get it to turn out right. It shouldn't be flowering that early, unless you like really tiny plants?

it obviously got stressed out and stunted,.
autos are for more a grower with experience..

Yeah, the stunting definitely makes sense. I should have specified that more. It's so small. The time to flower isn't too far off, but it should have been gaining in size the entire time. So stress can definitely cause stunting right? but I'm assuming also stress by itself can trigger it to flower also?

The one that I posted isn't supposed to be its genetics or wtv says 90-120 cm which is 35-47 i moght waist my time bc it's my first grow fr and just wanna see how it turn out even if it's not gonna be much

You LST'd it? My advice man for the next grow is something very simple I started doing. Just let it grow naturally until it gets three nodes (look that up if you don't know what those are) and then simply cut off that top node and then leave it alone and let it grow.

I've grown a lot of autoflowers and the first time I tried to LST, I trainwrecked my plants. I guess it ain't for me or I need more practice but i don't feel like doing it that way anytime soon. I just tested this way of topping and it's working like a dream. That's my suggestion to you for next time. Unless you really want to do LST'ing.

Ik in the beginning I started it at a way underpowered light then underwatered it for the first 2 weeks and other so yea

I did wait until the 3rd but didn't top I definitely need more practice on it plan on topping next time live and learn mistakes

Crap, that that explains what happened to my last grow. Although, similar to OP I knew it was going bad but I still finished it off, heh. I really should have started another though. I hate having to quit cold turkey like every couple months. I vow to never run out.

Nobody going to mention the high ph, which is causing the spots on leaves?

I don't PH my water, but are you talking about the runoff? I never thought of that. Is that an issue if he's feeding it a good ph?. Is he supposed to lower the ph to like 5.5 or something then so that runoff ends up like 6.5?

Is that what it is I've been trying to figure it out and nobody's been able to tell me anything other than it's stunted (alr knew it was stunted) and it's a calmag or just a magnesium deficiency
How do I lower my runoff ph do I just lower my pH for water or is it my intake water that's causing it?
My runoff ph is above 7 on all 3 but I put in ph 6.4-6.5
I also just recently started testing runoff ph

well one thing,. with that medium your growing in you should not be ph’ing anything,.. it’s counterproductive to what the soil is trying to do..
