Grow Questions

Hakuna_Matatastarted grow question 6 years ago
I think 18" was a bit too much for the plants and has affected the growth rate. Do you think these are stunted? Also do you think that the yellowing is because of the light? or other issues such as PH (unknown)?

Its hard to say right at this moment due to the plant being so young , but generally what will happen is that the plant will slow in growth because the roots are forming up , being as you planted it in a bigger pot right away the roots are growing sideways instead of downward because there isnt a "wall" to force them that way . Your plant will be fine and it will explode in growth soon enough . The yellowing that you see is from overwatering , based on the stats that I see your giving it a cup every 24 hours which will lead to such an issue . 1 cup of water will last you 5-6 days for a plant that big . You wanna ensure your plant goes through whats known as " dry - wet " cycle this will ensure the roots expand because they are looking for water , if your medium is always moist the roots dont have to expand leading to less root production . A good way to measure if your plant need water or not is to stick your index in the medium up to the first knuckle if its dry then you need to water if its moist then you can still wait . When they are young like that remember less is more in the sense that they are really easily over watered when they are young , so its better to give less water but more frequently if you have too then give them tons of water and end up with root rot or just plain killing the plant . I hope this information helps you on your quest to becoming a grow master ! :D :D :D -Happy Growing!

Day 7 end (from first set of true leaves) or day 10 (from germination) - Not Much Change (have increased the light distance from 18" to 24". Misted some nutrients at 1/8th the strength. Day 8 - Second set of true leaves gain some mass. 1" of top coco cover is completely dry, Water With Nutrients at 1/8th the bottle mentioned strength (2ml/L). Water the pot with 6-8L mixed bottled+tap water till 20% run off. Day 8 end - Started writing the Diary. Day 10 - Leaves are becoming bigger and healthier Day 12 - Second set of leaves are growing Overall lacks vigor, seems slow still, leaves are short.

I had lowered the lights before I left the city, Very bad idea, too much light caused stress and canoeing of leaves, leaves have become papery and brittle. Day 22 - Coco dry till first knuckle, my absence possibly led to a lot of heat and light stress with low RH%. Watered the plant till 20% runoff, 1ml/L (25% recommended) nutrient levels. Raised the light till 30 inches from top of the plant. Day 23 - A lot of tiny new growth has emerged from the nodes. I'm very scared, this probably might be the last week the plant has in its vegetative state before it moves into flowering, I think I ruined the grow, :( Have put out another Moby Dick XXL seed for soaking, will be growing in the same room and study the differences between the two.
