GSC and CLD (mystery label for strain, not sure which it is will contact ILGM at some point) broke soil first. OKC (again mystery label for strain) broke a day later Using approx 50:50 coco perlite mix/pro mix organic Spray bottle water until plants broke surface, and 2 days after breaking surface. Then received full water. now on 2nd full water Difficulty maintaining humidity levels in tent above 50%. Running extraction fan on low, bowl of water with towel, and a holmes humidifier has raised humidity to around 50%. This is still less than the ideal 60-70%. 1.6 gallon TaoTronic arriving tomorrow. Hopefully can raise humidity. CLD is far outgrowing its sisters. Any comments or questions welcomed!

12/24/19 Day 8. Merry Christmas!! Gave first nutrient water tonight. Nutrients are General Hydroponics trio and cal mag. 1.5 ml cal mag/.75 ml micro/.75 ml gro/.35 ml bloom per gal. Calibrated ph meter and got a 7.5 reading after nutrients added. PH down added till i hit 5.7. Pics in the morning to see how these ladies liked their snacks. 12/25/19 Day 9. New pics up. Noticed lights are a bit close. Just over 2 ft. Raised up to 32 In. Turned a fan towards the plants so they are getting some wind resistance. 12/29/19 Day 13. Problems with humidity maintenance since installation of new humidifier. Has spiked as high as 90%. Plants seemed to droop in 80%+ humidity, turned off humidifier and plants sprang back. Noticed some yellowing coming from the inside of the leaves. Will look into that. Best guess is deficiency as I intentionally gave a weaker mix because i'm growing in a mix of coco and pro mix. Rotated GSC to white light and put the candy kush under the blurple.

1/1/20 New pics uploaded. All 3 retaining moisture well, only 1 nutrient feeding done so far (on 12/24/19). Candy Kush is far outgrowing her sisters. Humidity was adjusted and maintained around 40%- no humidifier actively being run in tent. Tent door has been left unzipped due to spikes in temperature when completely sealed up. Varying heights between the 3 plants: CK 3.5 in GSC 3.75 in CP 2.5 1/2/20 Gave next round of H20 and nutrients: Cal-Mag 2 ml/gal Micro 2.5 ml/gal Gro 2.5 ml/gal Bloom 1 ml/gal (all three ladies looked great next AM)

Help! Lower leaves on plant showing dark brown spots w/ drying out & necrotizing. New top grow seems healthy & vibrant. After research thought might be a calcium or magnesium deficiency. Full strength cal/mag given yesterday. Plants seem perky but want professional diagnosis.

Looks like a cal mag issue. I don't get it because you are using a cal mag additive and the GHE formula does contain some cal mag too so you should have plenty of it available. You nutrient dosage looks a bit soft , maybe you should increase the dosage and take a look at the water runoff to search for an eventual ph fluctuation.

Although it could be cal mag, Are you sure there's no little critters under those bottom leaves as one of them looks nibbled....?

You got it. Calcium deficiency. If you fed full strength Cal/Mag you'll notice these symptoms halt but the affected leaves will not come back. I usually keep those damaged leaves to be cannibalized and remove them once there's nothing left to take. Good call👍 and good course of action you've taken. All will be well and they ARE looking great. Cheers and happy grows😉✊

those brown leaves don't mean squat..what does is that you put seeds in such large pots..should start in solo cups let grow till the roots burst out of the cup then transplate to the big pot..those are way to short for 5 weeks but can only learn thru experience.. more air to the roots..more roots..more shoots..more fruits!!

@DonaldTrump, yes it doesnt mean people will 100% over water but im willing to bet that 80% of people do thats why i look at 80% of the grow diaries and they look like shit..why dont you put you money where you mouth is..where is your grow..bet it doesnt look at all like what its supposed too!! like i said ive been doing this for a decade..just started grow diaries out of boredom! You can have fun with your most people say and your autoflower b.s talk to me when you grow something worth the time it takes to grow!

@DonaldTrump,im trying to say that when you plant a seed in a large pot it is almost impossible to not over water your plants..ive been growing for over 15 years inside and out..and thru trial and error and experience ganja grows 100% faster when you dont overwater it..think about how much more water and nutrients that you will give a small tiny plant that it cant even take in when you put it in a 3 gal. pot.. then add a shit ton of light like everyone does to burn them up..thats why 80% of people fail at this as they tell you they are winning lmao!

Look under the damaged leaves. See if there are brown dots that can move. You may have mites or insect infestation.

They are looking very healthy. Loving the Blurple LED, it is definitely the better option compared to standard bulbs. I see you also ordered the best humidifier for this tent grows. It is also the one I will be ordering soon, however so far my tent has maintained 50% humidity as a minimum, mainly in the 60% area. Sometimes if it is dropping low (humidity) I would use the spray bottle with an oscillating fan is a quick fix but not the best option.
