I have been adding dirt ever few days because plants were really stretching due to light being to far and leaving humidity domes in for to long. Humidity domes were fogging up and blocking light. Using HLG-300 V2 fully dimmed for light and Berger BM6 for soil. Only using bottle water PH 6.5 in spray bottle.
Hello, one of my seedlings (In pictures) is looking yellow compared to other plants. Its leaves are also facing up compared to others face down. Was possibility overwatering(New grower) but i have seemed to now corrected that. Is this problem something I should be concerned with?
Hello ! The 1st overwatering sign is the droopy leaves and from what I can see your leaves aren't droopy or are no more droopy ( if it was the case ) what makes me think that your overwatering issue is behind you now. Concerning the "praying leaves" this is a sign of toom much heat or a too low humidity level or both. From what I can see you temperatures seems to be perfect but How far is the light from the top ? is the temp the same at the top of the plant ? it's common to have an higher temps around the light than in the box . Concerning your humidity you should be around 80% (70% mini but 80% is better ) and I can read 43% which is way too low so you should try to grab a humidifier to get the RH higher. I think that the praying leaves + the yellow colour and tips burn ( or starting to ) is due to the low humidity + the fact that she need to recover from the over watering which makes the nutrients absorbtion harder than usual. I hope it will help you
All plants have been doing alright. Struggling to get past this problem of yellowing dropping leaves. Found out my soil has a starter charge of fertilizer in it. Dug out as much as i could and replaced it with some soil with none. Trying to water with 2.5ml -0.5L peroxide mixed with PH 6.5 distilled water. (Saved my plants!)
9 days old. Using Berger Bm6 soil watering ever 24- 36 hours with a spray bottle 6.5PH. Have a HLG-300 v2 fully dimmered 20" up. Temp from 22-26C, Humidity 45%. is it my humanity still to low or am I'm i still watering wrong? please help! Thanks
Hey there D so I've been having some seedling problems myself and after looking things over i noticed the most severe problem was too much moisture in the soil. I havent had to water again and its been about 9 days, ive only been misting slightly and misting the cup that's serving as a humidity dome. So maybe see they're watered well, and then leave them alone, let them get some fresh air each day and some humid air each day, and make sure theres good drainage holes.
For myself, the more I tried messing with things the worse it got. I just needed time, good temp, and to take it easy on the watering. I hope they pull through for you, I think nature usually finds a way, just give it time. ✌️
Plants looking great so far and starting to grow again. Having an issue with weird white mold starting to form. Scooped it all out for now. Transferred plants to 1 gallon pots. Older plants were a little root bound. Need to use more soil in solo cup next time.
Good week so far! Plants growing slow. Starting to give nutrients and plants seem to be speeding up. Should have gotten them out of the solo cups sooner. Watering every 3-4 days with 200-250ml water + nutrients
Thing are going very well! Think I'm past my overwatering and under potting stage. Will need to top Berry #1 soon, growing much faster than the rest. Transplanted into 5 gallon pots. Turned up light to 75% and am having problems with temperatures and humidity levels. Purchased a Cool mist humidifier and it completely fixed my issues. Will also need to start LST when plants fully recover.
Starting out this week better than last. I seem to be past my heat and humidity issues from turning up my light. Both a soil moisture tester and is helping with watering. I was actually underwatering my plants. Only using 350ml per plant every 3 days. Now watering with 2.5l and waiting for the meter to tell me its ready.
Starting out the week great! Finally got watering figured out. Need 3.75-4L per plant every 3-4 days. Topped all plants were getting very tall. Also started to tip all the plants with LST
Plants really blowing up and filling the tent. Very happy with this week! Wishing i would have started LST sooner. Finally think I'm getting watering down by using the weight of the pot to determine if they need water. Using 4-5L (slight runoff) every 3-4 days
Adding second light this week to get prepared for flowering. Need to learn how to control heat and RH with 2 lights in tent. Plants are taking the change well but Kush #1 is Tacoing and drooping. But all others look fine.
Flowing starting out rough. Plant's looking yellow on top. Thinking possible light burn. Raised lights up to 28" from 20" One plant in back is drooping and canoeing.(Lights way to close!)
Watered with 6.5ml pure blend pro bloom and 2ml cal-mag per 4L. Watered 5.5L each plant 6.3-6.8Ph (slight runoff & pots were light). Plant run 6.3Ph (Feed bloom to soon!) Wait 1-2 week after flipping lights to feed bloom. Plants need N to power the stench
I believe I light burned my plants when I put in my second 300W LED. Plant's yellowing on tops and drooping and canoeing. Have just switched to 12/12 light 4 days ago. And started to feed Flowering mix of 9ml pure blend pro and 1.5ml cal-mag per 4L. Feed every water.
The canoeing up is probably due heat stress. The droopy (and puffy) leaves look like over watering, I mean 5.5 liters every 4 days? that sounds like too much, it can explain the yellowing too.
You switched to bloom nutes too soon, keep giving the plants grow nutes for at least 3 weeks, to power the stretch. The plants look like it has both a P and K deficiency.
Have fixed my drooping problem! Recovering from light burn and trying to get a feel of how much light the girls like. Running light at 80% 400w from wall (200w each) started at 34" moving light down 1" daily.
Everything going great! Light at 450W. Started using Mammoth P this week. Watering every 4-5 days with 6.5L. 0.3g Citric acid to 4L water (Been using entire grow to kill chloramines). Always water to small amount of run off. Raised up Kush #2 and Berry #1 to keep canopy even.
Everything going great other than some lower leaves turning yellow. Haven been cleaning up dieing lower leaves every few days. Not sure what's causing this issue.
Starting to grow big buds! Kush #1 biggest plant in the tent. Have a problem with browning on upper growth & tops of buds and a lot darker on Berry#1 not affecting Berry#2. Not sure what's causing it,
Please help!
hey Dandamans, this doesnt look fantastic, but it could be one of two things scenarios : lockout/deficiency, or aging/flowering - the lower leaves could be nothing and just falling off after being canabalised for nitrogen as part of being old or the soil might be lacking in nitrogen. The top leaves could be turning colorful because of a lack of K potassium or it could be lock out from the nutrients that went too far. I can't really tell you more than this based on the progression I'm seeing. I hope you're not feeding every watering at least , because that would explain the first scenario. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Week 6 flower. Everything looking good again this week. Kush #1 showing some off colors but still growing great. Trimmed some of the lower growth this week.
Week 7 flower. Everything looking good again this week. Started to flush Berry #1 with Botanicare Flush, Citric acid, & Ph to 6.8-6.3. It has no more white hairs and trichomes are looking cloudy. Gave other plants a normal feeding.
give it more medium and make sure you have a nutrients line ready. give it a little calmag and spray the top with water once or twice a day, but if all else fails it could be a critter/fungus problem
@Dandamans, seedlings dont like it too humid too long, they do like a wet dry cycle, but they really hate going too dry for too long... yes you should limit how much water you use, and make sure there's holes for the water to drain otherwise... it's gonna rot
Happy new year my friend! Your grow is looking fantastic and healthy and I wish you best in this next year growing some amazing plants and yielding yourself large amounts of bud. Cheers!
@Dandamans, We all have little hickups in our grows. I'm certain a few days of tender love will get the color back into your plants and they'll be magical. Flush them with some nice and clean distilled water and let the soil dry out and they should be perfect.
@SensiSmellYahLater, Happy new year! thanks for the comment, really appreciate it. Didn't think my plants were looking so good. Have actually been really worried about them
Hard to see the babies suffering. But i have no clue why . Do you know the EC of the soil=? it should be written on the package, i could not find a ec in the internet. my guessig is that the soil has to much nutrients for the small ones. maybe look at the package and tell us the ec
Seedlings are very sensitive, and need a "low fertilised" soil with the right ec to start good
@Dandamans,i rea lly dont know it . normally ph and ec are onto the bag... maybe you ask at the company for the ec of the fertilisers ( how much are inside)
but for the next grow i would take another soil for the seedlings ( plagron / biobizz ) you can transplant them later into your berger soil.
if i diagnose a plant i work with exclusing causes. and all the other datas are good, for me remains the soil... happy growing, hope you get some information
i think ihave seen a"lightmix" on th website too but no more information hoe "light" the soil is
I would order a bag of Biobizz/ or plagron soil and transplant them into that. if they are bigger you can use that soil from berger
@Mrs_Larimar, I could not find very much information on the bag. But online i found that Berger BM6 has Coarse Peat Moss, Dolomitic and Calcitic Limestone, Perlite, Non-Ionic Wetting Agent, & a fertilizer starter charge built it. I wonder if the fertilizer is the issue! Should i flush plants? Thanks so much for the help!
At least the berry #1 does not look to to bad Hopefully it is just the color it gets in late flower but it seems a little early for it to start changing unless it is known for that. The others look awesome though👍 Hope i was able to help out Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests!🙏
