Hi everyone.
I hope you can give me some good adivce!
Seeds where germinated on the 2 of august 2015 from "Short ryder" 100% sativa strain on a 20/4 cycle.
On the 8th of september they began flowering 12/12 cycle. I have had a little problem here and there mainly lower leaves yellowing (not many) and then slowly being eaten up by the plant. But overall it has been ok so far.
As you can see from my picture, there is a few problems starting out, The top leaves seem to be browning a little and some lower leaves seem to be getting eaten, althought i did check and theres no creatures walking about, as far as i can see. My coco soil's PH is pretty high, when i stick the PH meter in the soil it registers at 8,5. I believe this is too high. I have the lights around 2cm away from the top of the plant. none of them are around the plant because i havent figured out how to do that yet in my little 50x50x100cm grow room.
growing medium:
Coco mix (9L pot) mixed with something called "PERLEKALK" its all i could find here but basicaly it raises the ph level and has a lot of magnesium in it.
fertiliser: Canna Terra Flores (fertilising once a week at ph at 5,8-6,2 as indicated on the bottle with around 5ML of fertiliser which i use around 500ML of in one feeding) I have also given the plant some "Lyles treacle once.
On the last two weeks of flowering i plan on using big bud fertiliser.
Watering: (3 times a week with water ph'd at 6)
Lights: In total there is 5 x 23W CFL and 2 X 45W CFL
Ventilation: There is one big ventilator blowing every 15 minutes for 15 minutes.
I hope you can give me some good adivce!
