Hello all,
First post
Firstly I'd just like to say thank you for all the knowledge I've acquired on this site, there's also some fantastic growers.
To my first grow and the (potential) issues that I'm facing:
1. New leaves appear to be yellow/pale green. I have read this could be an Mg issue? And that foliating the plant with some epsom salts would be a good idea?
2. There is also some curling of the leaves (only the razor-typed edges). This is curling upwards.
Some information regarding the setup:
Strain: White Widow Auto Fem x3
Medium: Canna Terra Professional 75% perlite 25% in 2.5Gal smart pots, placed on baking trays for additional air flow through bottom
Nutes: Fox Farm Trio
Water: Filtered, PH'd to 6.3-6.8
RH: 45-60%
Lighting: 300W (60x 5W) LED panel (cheap amazon model I'd imagine) around 8" from the girls but I have decided to extend this to around 14" as of day 15 (today).
Extras: 6" Carbon Filter/Extraction system, passive intake vents, 6" clip fan pointed around 1.5ft away from the girls, giving a gentle breeze
I have a 700w oil radiator in the tent as it gets very chilly here (-2 some nights) and is situated in a garage. The rad is fitted to a heat censored plug that keeps temperatures around 23-24c.
Firstly the girls were germinated in paper towel and then placed in plastic cups until they were around 10 days. They were growing very slowly it seemed so I transplanted them into the 2.5Gal smart pots at that point.
On day 11 I gave the girls their first dose of Big Bloom at 1/4 strength. The girls seemed to enjoy this a lot and I noticed some good growth in the couple of days since. The leaf curling and yellow new growth was already present before the dose of nutes.
Today (Day 15) I also watered them with clear 6.4ph water(filtered) until there was some runoff from the smart pots.
As you will see from the pictures I have decided to LST (Should I even bother LST'ing these autos!?) 2 of them to get some more light to the other nodes as they seem to be growing very slowly. The 2 girls that have received LST are around 3-4" in height, the one showing massive yellowing in the new growth area is only around 1-2" in height.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happy growing
