Woke up to some white splotches on Amnesia 3, which I thought were drops of humidity-water which contains a lot of white junk (ultrasonic humidifiers), but after slowing down and watching the overnight timelapse footage, I think it may be powdery mold. I was able to wipe it off with a soft, damp toothbrush earlier, but now I'm probably going to need to snag some neem oil. There are also some lightening of spots on Trainwreck, however no white splotches yet. I'm really hoping this isn't caused by powdery mold on one plant causing leaf septoria in another. Either way, neem oil should clear this up while still early in the grow stages.
Lights are at 60% and are about 15-16 inches above the tops of the plants. I've purchased some General Organics Calmag solution and some neem oil spray. I applied the neem oil to any white spots on Amnesia 3 with a Q-tip. I coated one of the two discolored leaves on Trainwreck with neem oil lightly spread with a Q-tip, as to not allow bubbles to form and cause a magnifying glass effect from the lights onto the leaves. I mixed up a gallon of water with a tsp of calmag, and then heavily pH-upped it to about 6. I carefully watered about a cup of water around Trainwrecks stem. If the neem oil works, one leaf will be fixed; if the calmag works, both leaves should be fixed...at least that's the goal.

So the concensus of others on the lower leaves of Trainwreck are light burn from water on the leaves, though I'm not too sure. The outside edge of one leaf is starting to brown, which makes me wonder if it laying on the soil could be causing a nutrient burn. I've decided to throw a few toothpicks under those two leaves to help keep them off the soil, in hopes that the browning won't continue to grow. The neem oil that I dabbed onto Amnesia 3 has lightened a few spots, but overall she looks good.

Looking good. Raised the light on Trainwreck by an inch or so, to hopefully get a little stretch.

So far so good, growing fast! I used a little bit of calmag water on trainwreck to see if I could resolve the yellowing, otherwise they have not been watered yet since transplant. Probably will water here soon within the next couple of days.
Most likely you have an imbalance of either calcium or magnesium and this could be most likely be related to ph and uptake issues.
Other than that it's just natural aging process.
Hey there, I thought I'd poke around and check out your diary on Amnesia Haze Auto from Barney's Farm. I grew this same strain and did well with it. Good luck and I'll continue to check in on your progress. Have fun!
Dope diary! Clawing can come from over watering as well, not sure if I seen you mention it in your notes. I had a lot of these same issues in my first tent grow but good luck come harvest! The dry trim and cure is gruelingggg
Congratulations on getting into growing Cannabis. Yeah you never wanna use testing strips. You can get cheap PH / PPM meter combos off of amazon. I invite you to come check out our tutorial series here on grow diaries as well in video form on our youtube page, Which you can find off of our main grow diaries profile. We cover the day to day step by step all the way from sprouting seed to harvesting, Drying, Curing & trimming. Come check us out I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback!
