Hello:
Would appreciate some help on what I got going on here. Two regular Malawi Gold regular seeds from Ace. One is obviously a runt and at this point can't tell if either are females. But the issue I am having is they look terrible, both looked fine in solo cups with pro-mix and a 30% Ocean Forest soil and a bit of perlite.
Transplanted the runt to a 2 gallon and the other to a 3gallon of full strength Ocean Forest, extra perlite, 10% worm castings and a tablespoon or so of Kelp Meal and a tablespoon or so ofGai Green 4-4-4.
I suspect what I am seeing is a nutrient lockout or more likely excess nutrients. It appears to look like they are underfed but I am holding off any feedings as I have been down that rabbit hole before. From what I understand Sativas and especially landraces do not like a lot of fertilizer in vegetation so I am thinking that's the issue.
The bottom leaves look like deficiency, yet if I look at the top leaves (actually all) they appear curled and all tips are burnt?
Is it possible that when I transplanted out of the solo cups the root ball was running out of nutrients and now they are experiencing too much nutrients causing the twisting, clawing and burnt tips?
Both have been in the larger containers for about 3 weeks now, and using a SF1000 for the veg light.
18 hour light cycle, lights about 20" from plants, temp around 80 during day, 72 at night.
Also included is a pic of a Bubba Kush autoflower that was planted straight from seed into the Ocean forest mix and seems to be doing well (the seed went into the pot surrounded about a golf ball size of just promix HP so the seedling did not burn)
