Grow Questions

Ktims420started grow question 6 years ago
I water my plants everyday , however I have mixed my nutrients “ph perfect grow, micro, and bloom” in with my water only the appropriate amount given on the bottle. Should I be using water with the nutrients everytime I water or switch it up with plain water as well?

Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

At that stage better water / feed / water / feed and repeat. Don't water every days it's the best way to create an over watering issue and I also recommend you to give half the dise to your baby and if she accept it well this increase the nutrient input. To water properly, you need to lift the pot when the soil is dry ( remember the weight ) and do the same after you watered and you will only need to water when the pot will recover the light weight !

Starting out I did my seeds two different ways so I could make some comparisons between the mixed reviews I read from starting right in the soil without the paper towel germination, and the paper towel and glass of water germation then transferring them to the final home. I also used a 2 gallon pot for the seed I didn’t germinate ahead of time instead of 3gallon. This week I have noticed a significant different between the two methods I feel that the two gallon pot is thriving right now but mayb later in the grow it will slow down. Just tracking the process tho , very impressed with the progress this week. Day 21 is today and I have dropped my ph meter and am getting a new one today but I haven’t watered them in a day now just so I’m not using bad water if you are thinking they look dry in the final pictures . Other than that feel free to comment I need all the advise I can get!

Struggled this week with some sort of stress leaves were curling up, and yellowed toward the bottom. I summed it up as possible over watering or light stress, I raised the light and gave the water a break for a day or two . I didn’t take many pictures although I wish I did because it’s starting to look better. Still a set back week. Feel like it’s going to start to flowering soon so I hope the timing isn’t too damaging.

Struggled with some sort of stress either over watering or light stress then trying to low stress train them before they we’re healthly enough in the previous week but finally recovering, almost fully recovered and looking great! Not very leafy at the top it is a fresh sprout, it has grow multiple centimetres some days, hoping it gets bushier any suggestions?

This week the progress was fantastic , they are very healthy and flowers are growing faster than I can keep up. One of my plants is struggling has yellow spots on the leaves , was always significantly smaller than the others but I have done the exact same thing to all of them and I can’t figure out what is wrong . I would assume mayb over feeding and it’s only effecting this one because it is so small . But 1 out of 5 isn’t bad, it is still budding but not nearly on pace with the others.

This week was good , didn’t noticed too much growth until I look at pictures and the buds have def gotten fatter and filling in. Still unsure why the leaves are curling slightly. Mayb too strong of a light , I can’t raise it too much more. Contemplating changing to 18&6 instead of 20&4 but i think it could shock them any suggestions?

I would bet for the previous overwatering issue it cause such issue, you can search for over wating issue and how the leaf looks like, these nice gals hate too mutch water it's very important as someone said above you water but stop unless the soil is dry (touch the soil to check if it's dry) if it is it's time to water but not a lot again :) anyway that's how I see this issue but I could be wrong. Good luck the rest looks perfect nice jobs for a first grow, my first grow was so shitty I didn't even show it to anyone and got 15gr out of it lol, but how it is going you'll get get some nice and huge buds ;)

One plant is significantly struggling , brown spots on leaves, it is the tallest and all the spots are towards the top but it is growing a lot slower , no colour change on any of the buds , I have one picture of her. I don’t know what the problem could be all the other girls are fine and have been given the same feeding and watering schedule. However the other girls are very happy from here out it is plain PHed water till I chop. Couldn’t be more excited yet nervous ✌️🏻💚

@Fast_Buds, awesome! Thank you thank you ✌️🏻💚

@Ktims420, Hey there! That's essentially what flushing is, just giving pH'd water right before harvest. When you see some trichomes start to go a bit milky, Go for it!

Ktims420commented6 years ago
@Fast_Buds, couldn’t have done it without you hehe 😉 If I just give plain phed water till harvest would you still recommend a flush or would the ladies be fine without ?

Fast_Budscommentedweek 16 years ago
Hey there! Good luck with your Blue Dream'Matic=) Let us know if you need anything 💚 ps. as far as watering goes, check the surface of the medium, if it's dry, you can start with about 500ml of water around the seedling and work your way up as you see fit.

about the light that's nice but some shop oversell led for plant with huge W but you gotta make sure its got full spectrum (your led panel) because the spectrum of a light is very important for grow/bloom
GiletJauner
GiletJaunercommented6 years ago
@Ktims420, yeah nice you didn't fail for the amazon bait because you can find many 1000W cheap but that are trash if you check, about curling happy to hear that but it's normal curling leaf upwards are due to overwatering once it's no more suffering that (it may slower the grow during that time for the plant) the leaf that were retaining water but will go back to normal as if nothing happened once you find the good way to water your plant keep up the good work ! 😉 (overwatering cannabis leaf curling on google)

Ktims420commented6 years ago
@GiletJauner, thanks for all your help first of all it’s nice to hear other people , sometimes you can drive yourself crazy not knowing what to change and what not to lol. But it’s a 1200w full spectrum led. I tried to do the most possible research before I started but it’s hard knowing what to trust and what not to, I am also growing a west coast og auto under a 1000w full spectrum and there is no curling of the leaves at all and they have the same feeding at water schedule that’s why I tried to blame the wattage
