Well... I had a little nute burn due to Over feeding, but I learned my lesson...they don’t need nutes in the beginning as they are getting it from the soil. I also had some issues with lighting that has been fixed as well

Grow Questions

420Girlstarted grow question 6 years ago

I started noticing drooping on one plant about 4 days ago. I know it’s not overwatering, but thought it might be under watering, but still no change. The leaves appear to be a very dark olive color. Watered with a little kelp as I thought maybe heat stress. Thoughts? Help?

This is overwatering. The 2 things that cause this are overwatering and underwatering. The soil looks wet to me. I would transplant it to a larger container and make sure the top 3/4 inch of the soil is completely dry before you water in the future. Hope this gets you headed in the right direction.

Overall it was a good week. Accidentally snapped a snapped, but I tapped it back up and she recovered nicely. Opened the canopy up a bit . I Was going to wait until day 60 to flip to flower, but I don’t know-should I flip now or wait until longer until those lower spots come up some?

Finally switched 12/12 mid week. So I have officially been in flower for 3 days. Everything looks good. I have 2 lights 1 - 1500w full spectrum LED and one 1000w dual spectrum LED- I have been running them both and the dual I have both red and blue on. I feel like if its not broke why fix , it but should I just run one light on red only? Or continue what I have been doing?

Rough week! I went out of town for three days and they got a heavy watering before I left, when I can back the one plant was a mess! Leaves were curled, brown and crinkling. I thought I had a calcium or phosphorus deficiency so I did do a flush with some nutes and cal mag , but nothing happened... the plant was stuck at a standstill not growing at all. Finally the last day of the week I would say it’s starting to look better l. I think I overwatered right before I left and the plant sat with no nutes to uptake for 3 days. Thoughts? Comments?

I let the one plant just really dry out for half the week, then I gave her a heavy feeding of 2-8-4. . I think we are on the upswing and back on track!

Rough fucking week! I have a serious nutrient burn! I did a hydrogen peroxide flush and haven’t watered since, I cut a bunch of leaves as they were completely fried. It doesn’t seem to be getting any worse but will they recover? Are my plants done for? And I thought it would be easy to grow a weed. What was I thinking?!

Saw someone answered your grow question about overwatering, just wanted to add maybe next grow you should upgrade to some felt pots or air pots. I did this on my 2nd grow and will never use anything but. It really saves alot of headaches as far as the overwatering and the roots of the plant love it too.

Overwatering for sure, her roots can't breathe and grow and then it shows signs of nutrientshortage while there is no shortage of it in the soil. The droopy hangin leaves are a major indicator for that. It can't hurt ur plant to do some days without water. There is always some moist left and the roots search for it then. In that way they become stronger and more resistant. Underwatering is less hurtfull than overwatering, I learned that from my many mistakes too😅

Hey, switching to flowering should be done when u have a nice filled flat canopy or when u reached half of the desired plant height. She will grow a lot in those first 4 weeks of flowering so u need to calculate how much space u have in ur grow room. Not an expert at this but read trough some LST and SCROG diaries here and u will get all the answers u need. Plants look great and healthy by the way😉
