what soil are they in?
I run the SF sf2000 for cracking beans, n clones, works wonderfully, from the pic looks like watering to close fragile stem. Water ur cover cup, n let gravity do itās thing. U do have some serious stretching going on, I would read over ur lighting instructions to see recommend height, n power settings
Did you turn your light up to 100%? Yes, I know the manual says to start at like 60%. I did the same thing with mine. My plant in turn did the same thing yours did. Started another with 100% power and she grew perfectly under the sf-1000. Itās either your light or thereās no air circulation. Do you have fans going?
Iām willing to bet money you havenāt turned your light up to max or itās too high above the canopy.
I turned it up to max, and I have two fans. One big one to blow plants (its only blowing soft), and one small one for air flow. I think its the watering
normal living soil mixed with 1/10 worm castings, and perlite
Definitely have fans, ducts. n carbon filters. Gots to teachāem to dance. Just enough to makeāem move, to the beat, depending on the play list .
Alright, have you started a seed over or are these still the original plants?
the small one is a new plant
iām literally just planting the seeds and watering, not putting anything over the seeds. should i use like see through cups?
I was going to say, the small one actually looks okā¦assuming its only a few days old. I see the bigger one has drooping leaves. Which either means you just watered, or it got too much water last time. Letās see how that new little one does. I thought mine was a runt cuz it was shorter than the tall leggy one I had started before. Turns out, that was the dominate plant that took over the whole grow room. My tall/leggy one never filled out and is still tall and leggy at day 101. Weāll see if anyone else has other suggestions, but I say, see how the new short one does with your light changes.
I personally didnāt use cups. I think thatās your call. Itās really to help keep the moisture in.
he smallest one, if you look closely, has an incredibly thin stem near the soil. Itās bent right next to it if you can see
neither did i last time, so I didnāt this time, but I never got this issue last time
Can anyone advise what to buy to start seeds off for next time? Like one of these? Not really sure
So, I have an update on the plants. Iāll post pictures shortly. Turning the light up to full straight away was a bad move, as the new plants that I started have barely left the ground.
The one plant that fell over, and almost snapped in half is doing awesome though, and is the biggest out of all of the plants.
Iāve also seemed to get the hang of training, but Iām not too sure about the topping that Iāve done. I guess itās worked though, and thatās why most of the buds look to be starting out the same size.
Cheers for the help everyone, this grow has taught me many things, and I donāt think Iāll be touching any liquid nutrients again! Except from the odd feed of calmag if they look like they need it.
Pictures to come shortly
Anyone have any idea on the brown spots and the different green colours near the top of the plants?
I thought the brown spots could have been calcium deficiency, but I fed then some cal mag, and Iām finding more brown spots every couple of days, but maybe the calmag hasnāt kicked in yet.
Is the varying in light and dark green healthy, and Iām just trippingout about it? Or does it show some form of deficiency? I top dressed the soil with organic nutrients a week ago, so maybe could be that?
Cheers guys!
Check the undersides of the leaves, ur top dressed soil may of had some unwanted guestās. N check ur water PH make sure u gots that dialed n. Good luck I havenāt seen sativa leaves that close n a long time.
Iāve checked the plants, but canāt find any sign on pests.
The leaves may be a bit close due to the training Iāve done on the plants, but Iām not too sure. I still need to trim the one at the back in the middle/bottom of the plant to create more of an air flow.
My water pH is 6.7 at the minute.
Cheers for the advice dude!
