How to Ask for Grow Support

I'd say water issues from the look, and some calmag spots showing

What light and how far away is it

 

[tigresporos]

this is my setup . about 50 cm away hps lamp 250w
grow room is 60x60x140
second plant is stunt in early stage (lsd 25 auto)
soil is 40-50 organic with fertilizers
reducing my ph with 80% ph down from growth technology(adding 2 droplets on every 1,5lt)
i think watering is something i messed up since i water every other day .

 

[Chris Scorpio]

HPS light may be a bit close, leaves look stressed, I'd put it at about 24"-26" away

@Emilya has a fantastic watering tutorial.
Soil watering is very very important

thanks for your reply i raised the lamp a bit and didnt water today aswell , hope they recover

Hello so let me analyze my setup first so i can get this as readable and understandable as possible.

Indoor grow on 60x60x140 tent , pot is 6l , using Hps lamp 250W

About airflow i am using a household fan but i saw that in continue use it gets very hot and maybe it get excess heat in the tent so i got it out.
i was watering every day but not draining water , just watering the surface something like this.
meaning no more than 100ml daily i was just chasing the surface to be wet



after the 15th day of veg state i also added some very small analogies of fertilizers (biobizz grow)
like 1-2ml into 1,5lt of water also 2 droplets of phdown 80% .
(i am still waiting for my digital ph meter so i dont have any accurate measurements)


about my water : i am using tap water left to rest every time for 24hours to dechlorinate somehow
average ph of tap water was 7-7.2

about temperatures : still waiting for digital meters they will be here the next week
but average room temperature is 20c

so today it looks like this and it looks like dying!

Spoiler: current state

Spoiler: early stage that went fine

FELLOW GROWERS PLEASE HELP A FIRST TIME GROWER FIND HIS LIGHT
I FEEL LOST

The Proper Way To Water A Potted Plant

Don't dabble in nutes. If yer soul has nutes in it as you originally stated, hard to say what's there now. If it's organic meaning just compost and stuff, start the full nute schedule per manuf site at about 1/4-1/2 strength

Do u have calmag, it needs it, get some

Be sure your water pH, after nutes, is around 6.2-6.6, 6.3 being optimum

Bad leaves won't fix themselves, so don't look for those to get better

Clip the leaves in the soil, not good either

Be patient

Do you mean i should chop the sick leaves?
ive read that guide and so much more but i feel like i am not seeing the obvious which i dont know what is it...
i dont have accruate ways to measure ph yet.
should i just water because ive only given like 50ml in the last days and "be patient"

you tell me i need call mag but i dont get it i am feeding the soil with fertilizers also the pot is composed with 40-50% organic material so i dont understand how the plant didnt find the sufficient calmag amount for it ...
should i get some mineral water to feed my plant ?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Have you grown weed before, or just veggies

 

[tigresporos]

as i mentioned before its my first grow
the last thing i grew was a bean in school
but as i am doing my first grow i try to to read and inform myself but idk what to do here...

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Unless u build a perfectly balanced soil with amendments, you will need to add what the plant is looking for

Having a halfway amended soil makes it really hard

Read the guide on watering

Clip the leaves touching the dirt

Get some calmag

And read, read, read

And read some more

Oh and start a journal

Id agree that the light looked to close.

Also I'm not sure how much air/wind your plant is getting, to much can be an issue if the intensity is high. I see you took the fan our however.

When watering its better to saturate the soil and let it almost completely dry out right before the point of stressing the plant, which is an art. Watering small amounts all the time has many downsides. As your plant gets bigger you may need to water everyday but again, monitor your soil.

PH is extremely important for nutrient uptake so make sure you get that tester soon

Also id recommend unless you've looked up your cities water content that you start with RO water and balance it from there. Then you know whats in your water.

Do you know what your PPM of your water is? Or what PPM of the run off is? You may have locked it out depending on how much nuts your using.

I find that for me soil is tougher than hydroponics but again that's just me.

If your really struggling with soil you could always try hydro for your next run, its really fun!

These are all just my opinions and things I've learned from research and growing different plants.

Hope this helps

Hey guys , after all , i gave my plant some nutrients , calmag like @Chris Scorpio said .
i chopped down 1 sick leaf per day total (3)
ive applied some LST on it to help it absorb more light on different spots
today it looks like this , cola about 40CM .


my question is , as i planted on 15/1 meaning as of today 25/2 (41days) old
thinking of what could cause it , could that stress from the previous posts i said stunted this AUTO strain to grow very little and eventually yield close to nothing ?
or should i just give it time ... i mean i see it starting to flower from this small height makes me wonder?

thanks for your support

bumps?

i think watering is something i messed up since i water every other day .

too much heat that tent is tiny for that light, 62F is too low also, wide jumps in temperature can cause this. If you don't have a temperature issue it's a watering issue too much most likely.

 

[tigresporos]

yes but yo u didnt read my latest post .
is my plant stunt small now that has recovered?
