Hello,
I'd love some input on this issue I've been having as I'm quite confused at this point.
I'm a new grower, my first grow ever was just thrown together. I just wanted to see how far I could get, and surprisingly, it went very well! Every single plant did great which is odd because I just used a cheap bag of Kellogs raised bed soil I got at home Depot for $8.
I'm much more serious about my grows now, and it's something I'm passionate and want to know everything about!
Many reccomend the fox farms soils, I tried the original in the brown bag, and I had PH problems that were severe even though I PHed my water.
I next tried the black gold seedling starter when starting my seedlings and they took off super fast! However, within a week, they were yellowing and stunted.
I'm currently trying the fox farms soil in the blue bag (sea or rainforest somethin') and seem to be having the same problems.
I doubt all of these tried and true soils are the problem. I always PH my water to a 6-6.5. I don't feed them when they're this small/young. But the PH problems present as deficiencies in my opinion, I attached some photos so please tell me if this looks like anything anyone has experienced!
Here are my only remaining theories:
- PPM. I have yet to buy a PPM meter so I'm not sure where it is at or if it could cause these issues in such small plants.
- Light wattage. I have a 600w light on the way, but I have been growing under only about 200w. Could weak lights cause this?
Sorry for the novel, I'm just so confused! I absolutely hate when I can't figure something out. Especially when my first grow that I winged went so well.
