Hey, I recently had an overwatering problem I was told, I watered 2 gal pots with 6 week olds once a day or every other day. They've been w/o a watering for a good 3 days now. Also, one of my plants leaves were curling around the edges and I was told this is because of heat...but I raised the light 3 inches and keep a solid air flow...don't know if its serious problem but i'd like all my babies to look good. If you want info on my grow setup check out my grow journal.'
pic 1 - see the curling of the leaves, over watering?
pic 2 - edges curling, heat?
pic 3 - over watering?
Do you ph test before adding liquids? What strength do you mix you ferts at? Do you have a moisture meter? What is the temp of your grow room? What kind of light do you have? What is the temp where the light meets the highest point of your plant?
Thanks guys. I'm looking for a heavy yeild, any idea what kind of harvest i'll see? how many ounces per plant (and what heighth are we talking about...like if i veg out clones longer will they yield more? will my mothers yeild a lot since they'll be vegging out for awhile? Should I buy more lights?) etc etc. Cheers.
Do you ph test before adding liquids?
Yes, my tap water is 7.3 and i drop it .5 using ph down
What strength do you mix you ferts at?
only fed plants twice since transplanting at 2.5 weeks, first was half strength second time few weeks later at full strength. Havent' added nuts in over a week. Gonna wait a few more weeks to nut cause they have fresh miracle grow soil with plenty of food, I believe.
Do you have a moisture meter?
Yes, one inch below says dry-ish, few inches more = moist, next few = wet
What is the temp of your grow room?
ranges from 72-80
What kind of light do you have?
400w mh
What is the temp where the light meets the highest point of your plant?
gonna find out
i wouldn't advise miracle grow soil if it has time released fertilizer in it i can't really explain to much about it since i don't know that much i just now it's not the best just get regular soil and add your own nutes in it when needed
Dude, Your plants are bitching nothing is wrong at all with pic 1 and 3. The only thing the matter with pic 2 is you had the light a bit close to the leaves. When plants droop for over/underwatering its pretty damn obvious.
my wife will be keeping an eye on this account while i am away. if you would like to correspond with me simply PM her and she will pass along my contact info.
Miracle grow's soil ph is off, the nutes you want to use is foxfarm. There are other good ones too, MG is not one of them. Your yeild will depend on your experience, and growing techniques that you decide to implement.
