Hey what's up - this is my first real grow and I have some trouble I didn't expect. The plants were growing well, lots of fresh green growth and they responded well to some easy topping. But now 2 of the 3 plants have discolored upper fan leaves that have started to turn dry and curl up. I came too far to let them die so I did the only thing I could:
I went online to find people who know wtf they're doing.
Strain is White Widow, seeds from Crop King Seeds
Soil is Pro-Mix Potting Mix; to a noob, it seems to have most of what goes in to good soil. Lime, perlite, rock dust, worm casings, etc. I've grown one other plant before that was a frankenstein (not in a yield way,) using this soil and so far all seedlings have loved it.
Lights: CFL cause cheap and first grow. 8 26w 6500k bulbs. (HPS kit will be here tomorrow)
Nutes: none yet because I haven't gotten that far
Watered with distilled water. I don't trust the tap water here and I don't want the water to upset the Ph balance, or the soil somehow. Paranoid noob thinking. It's worked out great so far so I keep doing it.
Grow tent is a D60(?) 2x2x4 tent. Ventilation was pretty much static up until recently as this is in a basement and temps are fairly cool all year.
The temps in the tent fluctuate between 26C and 28C. There is a small fan blowing on the plants, enough to see the leaves moving on all 3.
This is almost the end of week 3 of veg
Thanks in advance for your help - I'm trying to do the best grow I can as a first time farmer.
