Is it too early to add nutrients to these girls?

**personalresearch** · 06-12-2012, 04:10 PM

Some are doing just fine and others have some signs of deficiency. Yellow spots, wilting leaves. Any advice or suggestions? I'd like to get some nutrients, but I'd like ot make sure they are at a proper age and not too young.

(Blurry pictures below are from my pos phone , but I tried to point out the problem plants.)

Lights: 3x60 watt efficiency bulbs
Water: spring water (which I'm not sure if THAT is the best idea)
Medium: Miracle Gro Coir - With Basic Nutrients. (N, P₂O₅, K₂0)
Age: 2 weeks

Thanks!

I add nutes 3 days after germination at a concentration of 275 ppm.

And i would switch from spring water and get distilled water its pretty cheap

Why do you prefer dist. water. Is price the only reason?

**b18chbr** · 06-12-2012, 04:41 PM

Because the ph in distilled water is an average of 6.0 to 6.5 . Not just the price, it also dosent have any additives. Im a noob still so correct me if im wrong..

What additives are in spring water?

bigv1976, any nutrient suggestions? I don't have a local grow hardware/superstore... just a small nursery business and home depot near by.

b18chbr, I can understand the distilled water preference, just because of the whole distilling process that takes away everythin.

Thanks again

If you say so. Distilling is just boiling and all it is removing are all the micro elements like copper boron and iron.
