Starting this diary week 2 because I'm having some issues and this can be a very good way for me to learn since this is my first grow. So everything went well until 4 days ago. Since then my plants, mostly the amnesias, are developing yellow new foliage. Tomorrow is the day I am getting a ph meter, I suspect the problem lies there .
I have used an Activozin phosphorus based (5/20/0) fertilizer that is good for root growth and transplanting. It's in the form of non degradable granules.
I was watering 160ml tap water (silly me) over the seedlings every 2 days until mid week when I noticed soil was dead dry near the edges of the pots so I gave them 1lt to wet it a little. Today, after 3 days I gave them approx 700ml.
I have a light mix soil mixed with 30% perlite.
From my research it could be phosphorus toxicity, iron deficiency or sulfur deficiency.
Or it could be over watering.
Or it could be poor drainage.
Or it could be light deficiency (I have a 42watt Tled with some led strips until Mars 600 arrives)
If you haven't noticed I am kind of struggling.
Let's have a happy bumpy ride π
Good luck mate , mars-hydro led are amazing , using a TS1000 for 4 plants in a 70x70cm tent , you'll see the differences in a few days .
also good luck with 3 different strains , hoping all will grow in same time , if not ... eh , will be a bit of a wait if you plan SCROG
@Ciujbau, oh hell yeah I will use it as complementary where it is needed. Well yesterday I had to perform a bare root transplant which is brutal for them but it will probably save them. The soil they were in was getting toxic for them and killing them π’ I just hope it works
@Kripoulas, I hope you wont have any problems , but light distribution will be a bit off to plants that are lower since you wont be able to lower the light for them since the taller ones are closer to light , but maybe you can use that 42w light to complement the light to lower ones . be creative :) you'll find a way , just think ahead in case you need to prepare some ropes or hangers or what you think you need.
