So first of all, the replacement bulb still hasn't arrived. The third plant is waaay behind the rest two, it looks like it's been stuck in day 9 ever since and it's begging for light. I am afraid that it will not make it. The rest two are doing just fine. I had to buy a pH and TDS meter so I can work on the leaf issue that I had last week. I have pH balanced the water and the problem went away. I have used fertilizer for the first time. I accidentally went a bit over and did a 1200ppm instead of 800ppm, I know it's too much, but this house doesn't have a water pipe installed, so that means I have to bring water with me in bottles. I used up all of the water and brought it at least to 1200ppm instead of 1900ppm. I am using citric acid and baking soda to balance the pH, but I will be using vinegar instead of citric acid, because the citric acid is way too strong and it makes balancing the pH too hard, first time I did it, I added just a tiny little bit of citric acid and it jumped from 7.1 to 4.2. I also added a little bit of sugar into the mix to support mycorrhizae and bacterial growth. The plants are starting to grow really fast and I like that.

I am noticing a weird discoloration on one of the plants. It's starting from the edges of the leaves and growing towards the middle. You can see it in the last photo. I have looked on a few guides, but I haven't been able to find this issue. Can you see what's wrong?

You should check your PH levels. Unless I'm running a monocrop (an entire room of the same keeper pheno started in clone form) I like to run a fluctuating PH schedule with my grows. Different strains and different phenos from strains will feed differently and you need to maintain a propper PH level so the nutrients you're feeding can be made available to the plant. So I alternate PH with each water in soil from 6.2/6.5/6.8 and then repeat. Also make sure your lights arent too close to your little ladies. Make sure you're checking the EC/ppms of your water and nutrients before you water to ensure they're in the appropriate range for whatever stage of growth your plants are at. You should also be checking the EC/ppms of your run off when you water so you know what the levels are at in your medium. I see you keep your day time and night temps the same. You'll want to start bringing your night time temps down a couple degrees from your day time temps so the plants can transpire while they sleep. Keeping your day/night temps the same makes it hard for your plants to off gas and transpire what they up took during your lights on period. This means they wont uptake as much food or water as your grow progresses. This can slow growth, lead to deficiencies, and unnecessary stress. Hope that helps. 🤘

So my leaves have started turning yellow and falling away. It started one by one in the lower parts of the plants, but then it spread even to some more younger leaves, some of them just turn yellow and fall, some of them started turning brown and burnt, see picture for reference.

This could be 2 issues. First obviously could be the overwatering. It is best to water when the soil has dried out enough where it feels dry when you poke your finger into the soil up to your first knuckle. I don't see a lot of drooping that is usually associated with overwatering though. But looking back at your plants over the past couple weeks they look hungry for nitrogen. If the soil is too wet it suffocates the roots and they can't absorb nutrients. I don't see that you have any nutrients listed that you are feeding. If this is the case then give her a light dose of high nitrogen grow nutrients and she will improve pretty quick. Good luck!

Hi buddy I too have grown budget stealth grows, I see u sing cfl bulbs can get the wee full spectrum led 50watt plug into lamp instead of cfl, use cfl and led in flower, and maybe use a lighter soil mix with more perlite and that bud, props to u tho my man best way to try is chuck a seed in a let the magic happen all a learning curve, autos are easiest to grow go for them dude

Looks like you have at least phosphorus (reddish stems / veins everywhere) + nitrogen (bottom leaves yellowing and dying) deficiencies, if not other deficiencies as well. Measuring PH is a must, as it affects the uptake of all nutrients. You need to follow @Horticulturehobbyists advice, otherwise these plants aren't going to survive. If you are trying to avoid buying fertilizers, you can try experimenting with getting phosphorus from sources like boiling banana peels or nitrogen from diluted piss (https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-and-why-to-create-homemade-organic-fertilizers-n764). Results will obviously be far less predictable though than with nutrients which have recommended dosages.

@Eryan, Thanks for your advice. I'm not trying to avoid fertilizers, I just want my grow to be as organic as possible. I couldn't find any organic fertilizers when I started this growth so I had to go with manure that had NPK of 3,5/2/1,5. I have found some organic fertilizers by BioBizz that are in my budget for the next grow and flo of this grow so I will be switching to them very soon. Manure isn't really good as I found out. Also, the soil I used isn't really good for weed as well. However, I think that the plant was nutrient deficient because it was overwatered for so long. I had small leaves with weird colours for a long time and I thought that it was normal, but from the time I stopped watering I see very large and nice green leaves and stems, you can see that in the photo. But I much appreciate your comment. Thank you and good luck with your growing :)

You can look in my diaries ( cookies for me) there is a reciepe for soilmixing its cheap and very good soil. BUt it looks as you got to buy a MJ-Growing soil. I recommend Plagron/ or Biobizz allmix/or lightmix... MJ looves those mixes. And in long term you can look for your own "soil sources" . But if you want to end this grow successful you need abalanced light fertilised fluffy soilmix. Soil is the key for successful growing. If you save in this pont you most times have trouble after trouble. After this grow do your own soilmix and stay safe. But for this grow you got to invest 20 bucks more for a 15l of soilmix........ greetigs For more infos just hit the reply button

i think your substrate drain not enough water, that causes low oxygen near roots and so many problems... you need to use some bacterias for guard, more oxygen, better root development, mychorrizae, enzymes and fulvic acids for more oxygen in molecular form ... give some life to soil clear every ph problem and overfert problem Use RO Water and let medium dry before next irrigation for example: GHE DIamond Black : fulvic , humic acid GHE Trychoderma, adv voodoo juice/ tarantula /piranha : Mychorrizae /bacterias Cannazym/sensyzim : Enzimes
