Right side decided to stretch like yolo, left side ? Idk x) Sure thing, since a week ago I need to water a lot more.
May 10
Hello everyone, since she's bushy and the pot doesn't allow me much vision on the bottom of the plan I had not realized but I found out some yellowing browning leafs. As I'm aware from 2 week ago, my soil contain very little P and K, main nutrient in the soil is nitrogen. I thought that using my balanced fertilizer would be enough but I'm really restricted by the nitrogen toxicity kicking in if I give too much, thus limiting the amount of P and K I can give her. That said, I still want to make sure my problem is not ONLY cause by ph, so I tried again to lower ph over given water, this will be my last attempt before buying new nutrients, I will be looking for something like 0-15-15, or 0-20-15. I will then experiment again with Perrier feeding (this time I won't drink it all 😏). I had done it 1 or 2 weeks ago with a ratio of 1 to about 3 which had cause no negative effect, but I had let the water decarb for a certain amount of time. If nothing has changed in 2-3 days (next watering) I'll go buy it all and give her the following: 700 Ml of Perrier, opened and left to rest 2-3 minutes, combined with new nutrient which will mainly contain P and K. I will probably follow 1/3 of recommended dose, that should be plenty for now, I don't think I'll ever need to go over 1/2 of recommended dose with this plant. I am really looking forward to use Perrier as a watering solution, while you are certainly paying for water, it's source water which contain ppm of essential nutrient and has an official PH rated at 5.5, thus eliminating the big need for a ph tester that can cost effectively be pretty expensive. I will give you news as soon as possible on that. Have a nice day ^^.
Droopy leafs: Not worried, at first though it was over watering which cannot be the case anymore. There might be some oxygen problem in the soil but that will be it. She might also be rootbound which wouldnt be surprising since early in her growth I could already see big root right at draining holes. In any case I see this reaction more of a reflex than as a problem, as long as the nutrients are there she is gonna be fine. Pot is 2 gallon, it is definitely not enough, 3.5 gallon would be perfect for an autoflower considering you are watering in circle progressively.

Problem has occurred with soil acidification. She will probably survive but her yield if there is any will probably be really small... Flushed soil, will update
in 2-3 days. If it wasn't for the ruderalis genetic she would probably be done for
If its natural colours of photo, then your plant is ready for small feed in my opinion.
Her bright green colour of leaf shows me that.
Her redish leaf stems shows potencial mag problems, so i would add some calmag to feed or epsom salt.
Her curly down and droopy leaves looks to me like overwatering. Pot should be dry before you water.
There is plenty ways how to determine is your plant ready for watering, plant showing you that - worst of them ;)
For soil best ph is from 6.3 to 6.5. You can google nutrition absorb graph related to ph and you will see yourself.
Happy growing. Its wonderfull adventure !
@AsNoriu, Alright that make me feel more secure about the amount to give them, if you want to go organic I found that chart recently, it has lab analysis about NPK ratio in commonly used organic fertilizer. If you better prefer write that on google:
Horticulture
NPK value of everything organic!

@WetAndSmelly, fox farm grow big 80 ml. But i used around 100 ml of CalMag and around 200 of big bloom. But its my last run with fox farm. They are not total organic. I am after good smoke for me not after quantity for sale. So its different for each of us ...
Its only 6 weeks of veg.
@Adrenalized, Thanks a lot man :) Yeah I'm proud of her ^^ but yeah at this point the mainstem appears to be shorter than the one that stretched 😂😂😂 I've found out that some lower yellow leaf were yellowing browning :x I'll make an update in a bit
Cute plant. I know you already know this! Let this girl dry out a bit before your next watering. She is showing some light green/yellow newer growth that looks like a sulfur deficiency starting. Could be from a high ph see if you can get down below 6.5. Mix 1 teaspoon Epsom salt(magnesium sulfate) to 1 gallon water use this in with your next watering she should green back up. Then go back to your regular routine.
@Philindicus, First, thanks a lot !! Yes I think these symptomes are mostly related to soil ph being to high. I don't have a reliable way of measuring liquid ph and I am a bit afraid of putting the recommended amount of vinegar in my watering solution, I will invest myself into it at next watering, thanks for the tip about sulfur, I'll look into it when I go buy my bloom nuts.
I’m gonna put at work on 24/24 and as a good boss I will tell to others that you’re doing ok with no sleep.... 🙄
That plant is droopy, first I’ve thought it was slightly overwatered but I couldn’t see any speed bumps on the leaves, typical symptoms that goes with it.... then after reading you were on 24h cycle I have found why ....
Overwatering ? Too high Ph ? Potencial Mag deficiency ?
Bad time for leaving her alone ... At least dont water till pot is light. Just spray plant every 4-6 hours.
@AsNoriu, life come first and 2 day will just plainly show me if the worries were worth it, she's far from about to die. Not just sure about the precursor sign since it's my first :P
I loved to use first two weeks 24 and then reduse to 18/6. Many things shows and many people agrees that 18/6 best cycle even for autos. Plant learns to sleep with open eyes, but its not so efficient tho .... ;)
Even people after 100 grows still finds out or experience something new with every grow. Hope first grow will go smoothly and you wont need to learn a lot ;)))))
Enjoy the ride !
