These seedlings was in the conservatory with only a 30 wat led grow light per plant. I was finding that they was stretching quite a lot after the first week.
One plant didn't have any led lighting only natural light until the second week.
I decided to move the plants out of the conservatory because of the difference in heat from day and night, they're now located in a dark closet with air circulation via a cheap clip on fan.
I've also upped the light to 600 watt led grow light used alongside the 2 30 watt lights.
Much better growth now, added some more soil to combat the stretching in the first week.
Have only used water so far. I have purchased some nutrients so on the next feed they will get some nutes, going into the 3rd week.
@hypnotit Hi mate they are looking good One thing I found was that plant s really do need atleast a few hours of darkness each day to recuperate and rest as going on a 24hr schedule pushes them to the limit and little issues can become big probs when plants are stressed.
I would also consider dropping the ph down below 6.5 somewhere between 6.2 and 6.5 is ideal
Happy growing and I hope I have helped answer this question
Thanks for recommendations, I have changed the light schedule to 20 hours light and 4 hours darkness, and also changed the water to 6.2 PH. I've also added BioBizz Grow 1ml per litre. I am going to feed them less as per the recommendations to once every 5 days or so or until the soil is dry.
Im awaiting delivery of a new grow tent and rather than use the wardrobe, with an extractor fan for better air circulation.
I have been having problems with the temperature, went up to 28.2c at one point and humidity up to 84 percent. Have since managed to bring it down back to 60 percent, waiting for a dehumidifier to be delivered.
Just been watered, 1 lite per plant. Slight run off that needs clearing. That's the first feed since Tuesday, soil was dry. Used more nutrients this time. Plants are getting bigger and more spread.
Haven't seen much increase in height of the plant so have started to messure. Ranging from 15cm, 18cm.
I am getting amazing growth. The plants have doubled in size.
I have noticed some bottom leafs are twisted. And there's some discolouration of the leafs. I'm not sure whether this is nutrient burn or nutrient deficiency.
The plants are growing outwards and are now growing Into the tent walls.
I was planning on using deflation methods but have since heard not to bother with doing so on autoflower plants.
Despite the growth there are a few concerns. I reduced magnesium from 1ml per litre to 1/3 magnesium on the last feed, and I am noticing more blemishes on the leafs. Possible magnesium deficiency?
I am going to flush the plants with just water and magnesium after today, unless research tells me otherwise. I feel like something needs to be done to keep this grow semi successful.
There is something wrong with my plants but I'm not sure, I hope it's nutrient burn, iun whiuchn case I will flush with PH water, but it could be nutrient deficiency, what I am most concerned about is that this is root rot.
What do you think it is and what should should i do?
Hey hypnotit. You have excess nitrogen. The first clue is the dark green leaves. That combined with the burned tips and and the clawing down on the ends of the leaves clearly says too much nitrogen. I would definitely flush with plain water and then make sure the soil has dried out well before watering again. In the future you only need to water every 3rd feeding to prevent his from happening again. So you want to feed, water, water, then repeat. Hope this gets you headed in the right direction. Good luck.
Bit later here. Actually 4 days in to week 6. Day 38!
Last week I flushed out the plants until there was plenty of run off, flushed them with plain water. Then shortly after I flushed then again until there was more run off. After that I left it be for what seemed like ages. I wanted it to fully dry out. I waited too long. Went to water today after almost a week and some bottom leafs was yellow, due to underwatering the plants.
I watered them with nutes, not as much this time. No run off but any more water and there certainly would have been.
I removed yellow leafs after watering them.
Have grown some more.
It's certainly a learning curve! Plants still look healthy I reckon and previous symptoms seem to have halted/gone.
