Hello! New week starts with some new problems and fears. Today I saw some white spots on the end of the leaves. I hope its not a mold, because all conditions were fine, but I suspect that I have been using transparent cup for too long and moisture were too high inside. Will be happy to hear your opinions!
I am really surprised that the plant grows SO fast. Keep warring about mold, but I have decided that it is not it, because its only on the edges of the leaves. I think time will show. Also I saw some bugs inside the box and pot. The Internet gave me advice not to water the plant for 4-5 days because dry soil is not comfortable for maggots. I have done watering 2 days ago, so i think about dry period by the end of the week.
Hi mksotun!
How far is the light from the seedling?
I'm on my first grow as well (same strain as you, just 5 weeks ahead) so I wish you good luck! 🌱
Try to not overwater (as I did 😂) and just be patient =)
@volfmanz,
I never water too often, the problem was that I used to water with 1L of water a 3.5L pot, this lead to a little issue: The soil needed 5-6 days to fully dry, so I just started (since week 3) to water with ~10% of water the total capacity of the pot (so ~0.3L) and now in 3-4 days the soil is completely dry.
About your light, I can see you are using a 125W fluorescent light, is this generating a lot of heat? If not, you can try to lower the light and see how it goes =)
A TIP that helped me a lot:
When you'll start to give more water, boil 3-4 banana peals and water your plant with the leftover water, is a good natural fertilizer for veg status :D
Hi there, you should not have more than 27 degrees, water it maximum 1 time a day and not that much water, just a bit do keep the soil moist and not wet.
Also use a transparent cup in the first 4-5 days of seedling stage to keep the moisture in.
Other that that i don't know what problem could there be.
@ZeroPro, thanks for advices!
I water the soil when it is dry in 2-3 cm deep, its about once in 2 days, and pulverize it a bit every day to increase the moisture in box. Transparent cup is being used already.
I hope that everything is fine and its just my paranoia😅
