Thought I would give Organic growing a try with this one. Had a couple of grows since my first try with varying degrees of success, but every time my bud has been kind of harsh to smoke even though I flush for about 2 weeks before harvest. I haven't quite nailed down drying and curing yet either which probably contributes quite a bit to the harshness but I just thought i would give organic a go anyway :) Started the Cherry Cola from Fast Buds a week later than the Mazar which popped after 2 days and is looking like a happy and strong plant already! (I've come to expect this from Dutch Passion, those guys rock!) I started both out in peat discs with seedbooster plus from Plagron (I know this isn't an organic nute but it will be the last they get), once the Mazar's roots started growing out of the disc i planted it in a 12L pot full of Plagron allmix. So the Cherry Cola popped a few day's after this post and stretched quite a bit, when I was transplanting it the peat disc broke apart a bit (lesson learned, never transplant when the disc is dry) growth slowed down quite a bit :/ I think the Mars Hydro TS 1000, although a great budget grow light which I highly recommend for first time growers, is little bit too smal to grow 2 plants. I will probably be upgrading to something a bit jucier during this grow. Wish me and the girls luck!!!

Mazar has been looking a bit tired the past 2 days and I originally put it down to being under watered as the leaves felt pretty dry and thin. Today though i found this yellowing on the edge of 2 leaves (I checked them all) could it be Mag deficency? Thanks everybody!

that's good you got your PH in check and even when feeding 1/2 the strength of recommended it can still cause to much of something sometimes. Just from looking I still think it can use less N and its good to remember autos like to feed less then photoperiods do. It could also be that your soil has to much N in it as well then added on top of the other nutrients is stacking. I would look into watering a bit less as that's what I am seeing from your leaves pointing downwards. it would also not be a bad idea to try and raise the lights a bit to see if it helps a bit. air pots have excellent drainage but soil can compact so its just a guess at this point. your temps look on point. Good Luck!

To me, drooping clawing leaves could be sign of too much water. Some nutrient disssolve easier than another. And I also had magenesium issue. So, I add a spoon of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and molasses to feed plant root once a week. I don't worry about pH. Most fertilizers are useful in wide range of pH. Two in particulars are troublesome. Iron is better at lower pH. More over, iron is an imobile nutrient. Feeding iron to soil won't hel[ much. Then, the easiest way for me is to spray iron sulfate to leaves every couple of weeks until flowering. Another difficult nutrient is molydinum. Plants do not need much. So I found seaweed with molydinum content and spray those to my plant during veg as well. But I spray sea weed on different day than iron. I try to be as organic as I can. And I feed my plants mainly with earth worm casting, molasses, seaweed, and compost tea. However, I do add Epsom salt and Iron Sulfate salt to help with defieciencies. I live in a "developing country" and get my fertilizer mostly straight from smaller farms at good cost. This may not be the case for most people.

So I've done a more comprehensive check of my pH to make sure everything is in order, the water I'm feeding her is 6.9, soil is 6.5 and run off is 6.8. I've been feeding only water for about 2 weeks now.... The only other thing I can think of is how it has got colder recently, doesn't make a huge amount of sense though cos it's still 24 degrees in the tent
