This was my second full week of veg. Did nothing with them on Sunday. The soil was still very wet from the flush on Thursday. On Monday I changed out the four FL lights that I was using for two of the Dimgogo LED's. These provided a lot more light. I had four plants per light. I had a third light on order, but it was a week away. On Tuesday I watered, 1/4gal per plant, with all nutrients listed. Wednesday and Thursday you could really see a change in the plants. They really seemed to light the new lights a lot more. On Friday I watered, 1/4gal per plant with all nutrients listed. On Saturday I measured the plants and they averaged 18" tall.
I think these have nitrogen toxicity, wondering what others think? Yellowing of some leaves, I noticed the clawing in some upper leaves. Buds don't seem to be growing much. Any thoughts?
It's hard to say when the pictures are under that light, try to take pictures under normal lighting for better diagnosis.
From what I can tell in these pictures there's actually a Nitrogen (N) abundance and some Phosphorous(P)/Potassium (K) deficiencies which may also be the cause of your buds' poor development (a picture showing where the leaves yellowing is the worst would really help!)
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
Nitrogen Toxicity/Abundance, I believe is my problem. As suggested by BluntZilla in my other question it could be lacking P and K as well. Here are pictures under normal lighting in hopes that someone can help out.
Theyre not showing any signs of other deficiencies/toxicities at the moment just the Nitrogen abundance mentioned.
Yes lower the "Grow" or the Nitrogen source in your fertilizer by about 50% but never stop it completely since it may cause a shock and unnecessary stress!
Keep a close eye at your plants and adjust the fertilizing accordingly! if the color goes back to normal then stay at that diet with a slow increase, and if they start showing deficiencies then increase the nutrients accordingly!
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
Great job bro the only thing id change is I would definitely look into getting your self an LEP lamp it would replace all those leds be cheaper to run not as hot as HID but gives you super lumens with the spectrum of led it would have doubled your yield easy and you'd only need one from GAVITA 1930lep
@EasyRaider, definitely man PH and sanitation and pest control are the things that are usually overlooked but stillgreatly important to the plants health almost as much as the light lmao happy growing man keep it
@GACiNATI, That would be great, and probably a great upgrade in the future. I would need two for the coverage space that I would need. Actually, four of them for how I plan to set the room up. As things progress, lights will definitely be upgraded.
Learned a lot from this grow. The nutrient problem was probably more of a pH problem. I just found that my pH meter was a full point off. The buds have been stalled since halfway through flower, and I'm pretty sure pH and nutrient issues were a big problem. Need to make sure to fix those problems for the next grow. Also trying autos for the next run, and a different nutrient line. But yes, lights are a must upgrade.
