Welcome to my first grow journal! I’m super pumped. Initially I tried to grow a strawberry cough seed by Dutch passion, but never saw a taproot. Tried a few different measures to get her going, but nothing worked. Tossing her in a peat pot just in case. As for the star of the show, Chocolate Haze germinated almost overnight, taproot was nice and ripe within 2 days. I planted her in a jiffy pellet (which was soaked in water, squeezed out a bit, and then refilled with some diluted coffee). Another 2 days and she broke through the surface of the soil. The shell of the seed had kept the cotyledons closed until she was about 2 inches tall, so I carefully removed it. Another day and the cotyledons has unfolded to reveal two nice little true leaves, as well as a super strange brown growth on the tip of one of the cotyledons.... does anyone have any clue what this could be? I tried to VERY CAREFULLY poke it off, but couldn’t. Is this a problem that I need to remove? I scoured the Internet for answers and didn’t find anything. She seems to be growing just fine though? And she loved that coffee - I read that coffee has a good amount of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, and is safe to use as a pH reducer (which was necessary thanks to the alkalinity of the jiffy pot) - and it seems like it was really effective! I plan on giving her more when I transplant. Last question, I’m currently using an old 70W LED that I had bought years ago for indoor gardening, but hoping to upgrade lights after I get a payout from a job I recently did. Anyone have any recommendations for ~$100?

What the fuck is this strange brown growth on the tip of my cotyledon? (Sorry for the bad pics, will try to update with a better one this afternoon)

The cotyledons are enclosed in a little sac. It usually sheds with the shell but sometimes it sticks to the leaves like yours. If you moisten it then it will get soft, but it won't hurt anything. Good luck on your grow!

Feels like I’ve got all kinds of nutrient deficiency. Which makes me think I’ve got a lockout issue. Do I need to do a second flush with pH adjusted water? How do I help my poor little plant?

Get a bag of all mix / complete mix, any kind of prefertilized soil and transplant that plant into it. Use at the very least a 1 galon (4 liters) pot, 2 or 3 gallons (7 to 11 liters) would be better. Also, as long as the ph is between 6.0 and 7.0 it is ok, you probably over flushed, leaching all nutrients from the soil in the cup. Another thing, get an EC/PPM meter, i will help when it's time to feed.

@Wicked_Stix, I’ll have to check it out! It sounds like exactly what I’m looking for assuming. What are typical yields per plant under a 1000W LED?

I run the roleadro (previously galaxyhydro)1000w. They are right at $100 on Amazon and it runs really cool. I tried the dimmable model for a second light but the regular one seems brighter so I returned it for the regular one

@Sandman, this was my first grow using it and I didn't train like I normally would since it was my first auto grow. Seems to work just as good as a hid in my opinion though

Hi @Sandman! Your plant was in a situation of rootbound, roots were unable to find space/air and as a result they started to rotten, I see on your latest pictures brownish roots whereas they should be white. To be honest in this situation I would start over from seed with a fresh soil, in a airy container such as AirPot/SmartPot. These containers help you to analyse the rootmass easily, they make overwatering almost impossible, and they allow roots to auto-prune themselves, preventing from rootbound. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

@Stick, I think I’m gonna see this one through even if it’s not an optimal outcome. But next time I’ll definitely be getting an AirPot next grow! Thanks for letting me know what to look out for next time as well, I thought the roots, although crammed, looked good - didn’t realize there was anything wrong D: Talk about a learning experience eh? Haha

That plant looks like it needs a good feed to me.

@Waters, done as of the time of writing. I was previously worried that ph lockout was the cause of the signs of malnourishment. But either way she should have plenty of nutes now. I plan on feeding again in a week if the new leaves still aren’t looking right.

@@Athos, took your advice as soon as I saw it man, transplanted into fresh new soil at the end of this week (5). I’ll have to look into the EC/PPM meters, I didn’t think they were as big a deal and have been trying not to spend tons of cash on this already expensive first attempt x)

You need to transplant her. Her rootzone is full and and and soil is empty of nutrinets. Just transplant her and she'll recover then just go from there. Good thing with nutrients is to remember when starting to feed that start only with 1/3 of recommended dose. That way you don't overfeed your plant. Much easier to take care of underfed than overfed plants. Happy growing!

I’m on week 7 of my chocolate haze grow n it’s not stretching at all. It seems more of a short bushy plant. Plenty of foliage. It’s approximately 5 inches in height is this normal or am I doing something wrong
