First Time Growing

[Misterbeans]

My

Hey their,thanks
For the input, humidity average around 42% , never below 40% or above 50%, heat with LEDs on stays around 25-28c . Just the one low flyer plant showing brown tip and curl. Have kept all nuts away, Ordered pH tester for my tap water, I tested soil with one of those no good 3in 1 testers and my soil registered 7.3pH. Might be the problem? Also last night ordered some Cal Mag. This place rocks for information! Love it!!! Thx

First step has always been to finish a plant with water and adjust ph. 90% of the time it fixed it. In soil I would flush and adjust ph to 6.8 ph the drop it to 6.5 and keep it balanced at 6.5 if it stays good that works for me with several soils in the past. Hope this helps but if it is 7.3 ph I would say yes certainly the issue.

Thanks for
The input. I find it odd still because I’m using the same water and soil in the others and they have not shown any signs of any problem. But I guess every plant is different in its
Own way. I’m new to this but enjoying every second of it,

If you wouldn't enjoy it... Then you would have missed something the whole time.

Yes very correct lol. Exact same strains different problems ive ran into it several times, every plant is different that's for sure and I think that is the best rule to have. Treat every plant as a different plant.

My feeling is your soil is OK. Those 3 in 1's always read high, and inaccurate as you know. Your plant is in some healthy mix right now, pH stable from FF, and the amount of water you were given it would not throw the pH off that much. As mentioned above, mix your nutes and whatever else you are putting in there and pH around 6.5.

You want to keep an eye on your PPM as well. As you add nutes and try to balance your pH your PPM changes. The chart below is a good reference chart to gauge where you need to be.
You could flush if you like to be sure but I don't think it's at the stage where the plants are crying out for attention.

Looking good, may I suggest using zip ties and putting your power strip attached to the tent rod on the wall, just to be safe from a water spill.

Thx. Hard to tell in picture but the pots are actually on a sub floor. (5” off actual floor ) There is a 12-14” Gap in the floor (from the pot to the power bar) stretching the whole 4ft width of cabinet
To allow air circulation from the 2 floor intakes. Any water spilled over the pots would run below sub flooring but I use a Hockey squirt bottle only feeding 1/2-1LT every 3-4 days. Thx again I love the feedback, Happy Growing my friend.

Hi
Looking green in there... The last baby, in first pic... What is wrong?

 

[Southern Grower]

Might be a better angle. Plant in clay colour container believed to be the one your inquired about has a bit of curl, but new growth looks to be ok, others are ok,

That is the one.... Would keep an eye on it.
If you feel fine, I am not going to stir up the waters, it looked like clawing, but I couldn't see clearly.

Yes your absolutely right , started a week ago, the other 2 are fine as far as I’m concerned, maybe a bit short but it’s my first grow so to be honest im Not to sure lol, at the beginning I know I was generous with watering so it could be overwatering? I have cut back and learned a bit more about properly watering techniques. Only been about 9 days from
The time of noticing the curl. Lights (LED) 19” away from Top of plant. Heat average when
Lights are on at 27C. Any ideas ?

 

[AngryBird]

I would need a "in the sunlight" picture to see better.

Hope these will show up ok. Thanks..Cheers,
