Week 3 and I'm still trying to figure this out. The plant is growing and smells amazing but It seems like the bottom leaves are really discolored. I'm probably just going to start feeding it proper water and no nutrients to try to flush it out. I still need to purchase a ph test at this point and the rest of the fox farm trio.
@DinafemSeeds, Thanks for the seed!!! I believe I stunted the plant by using tap water. I've since switched to spring water and 18/6 lighting. She smells amazing.
@MichaelAnthony, Hello mate 👍
Your plant does look to be flowering which is pretty strange as you are still in the vegative stage of growth?
We would expect to see pre-flowers at around week 6-7 of (18/6) but yours looks to be fully blooming?
You are on 18/6 lighting, correct?
All the best ✌️
Mark..
I'm definitely going to SCROG next time. LST is definitely not for me. I have 4 other plants (2x Budzilla and 2x Northern Lights in the tent that I attempted to LST and they grew so fast. I could not keep up because I don't hover over my plants enough. I figure opening up a tent and bending some plants under a net is way less time consuming than LST. But I guess I'll find out here soon.
It could be a number of things, so let's try and eliminate somethings :)
1> What's the soil mixture composed of? (I see some burning + the new leaves coming in are super limey green
2> What are you feeding it (if anything)
3> What's the size of the pot, do you see root structure through the drainage holes on the bottom?
4> How do the leaves feel? Dry or crispy? (from what I see, they're water saturated as the leaves soak up too much water and cause the leaves to droop)
@CannaScuzzyB, Thank You. I ran up to the store and brought some spring water. When I purchased the fox farm soil I was told I wouldn't need nutrients for at least 3 weeks. Yeah I probably should have listened to her but I get so enthused seeing everyone with such great grows I go overboard.
@MichaelAnthony,
1. Good soil to use, pretty much you could use JUST this alone and would produce good results without having to add anything else to feed it.
2. I would lay off nutrients right now
3. Fabric pots are good, I use 5 gal myself and have never had an issue...try the Vivosun bags, they work well :)
4. I would water every other day, keeping up with your finger regime.
Solution: 100% stop using tap water as it's treated every 4 hours. Chlorine is a huge culprit with using tap water as it's literally going to burn your plants...I use spring water or rain barrel water :)
@CannaScuzzyB,
1. The soil is fox farms Ocean forrest.
2. I've been feeding it grow big.
3. 5 gallon fabric pot. Which I'm never doing again. Maybe a 3 gallon next time.
4. The leaves feel moist. But I'm only watering when the soil is dry. I'm a big rudimentary. I stick my finger in and if I pull it out and there's no dirt I water. Maybe I should just let sit
I definitely believe the tap water I'm feeding it is playing a major part. I've had another plant look healthier but I was giving it filtered spring water.
