Hello all, this is my 1st ever grow and I think I may have blown it. After a week (3 doses) of PK13/14 my plants look like they're giving up the ghost so I have a couple of questions hoping that someone can give me an answer.
1st of all my setup is as follows:
4x4x6 grow tent with 400w CFL for veg (vegged for 6 weeks from seed to plant. Was this too short a veg period?)
Nutrients given were from my local hardware stores gardening section with a high Nitrogen content (16).
I used All purpose Compost for the plants in 1 gallon pots.
The light was set to 18hrs on and 6hrs off. They seemed to be flourishing before I switched them over to 12/12 in my flowering tent.
3 plants in total as this is just for personal use. I have no intention of selling any so my grows will always be small.
Average temperatures in the veg tent were around 22 degrees celsius.
Flowering tent is 4x4x6 with a 600w HPS, a 6" inline fan and carbon scrubber for extraction and a 4" inline fan for air intake. 1 small fan circulating air above the plants initially but I've now added a large fan as well in an attempt to keep things cooler.
Average temperatures in here can fluctuate anywhere between 27 degrees celsius to 32 degrees celcius. Since adding the extra fan I'm averaging a more steady 28 degrees celcius, is it too late though?
Feed here was some low nitrogen (4) tomato plant food along with Canna Boost Accelerator, Canna Rhizotonic (1 dose only), and last week over a period of 1 week (3 doses) of PK13/14 starting at half strength and the last dose being full strength.
I'm not sure if it was just the PK13/14 that blew it for me, the heat (30 degrees) after my weekend away or a combination of numerous mistakes made. The plants are now dying. They've been like this (as in pics) for a good 5 days now. I put the plants on just water for one feed then half strength nutes yesterday but there seems to be no difference. If anything they seem to be getting slightly worse. I've pulled a lot of dead leaves from the plants but if I take every yellow leaf off there will be none left
Has anyone any ideas please? If there is no hope and I have to pull them up is it a case of the sooner the better or should I wait awhile, plus will this be smokeable? Thanks in advance for any help
