I didnt feed him for 3days and yesterday i feed it with floratrio. On bottle it says 7ml of each for 10lt for pre flower stage. I add 3ml of each for 5lt plus 3ml of Cal-Mag. Normally cal-mag need to be 2ml for per liter, It might be Iron defi?

I just checked after saw yours and there might be a problem with mine. Can you diagnose this? Edges turn yellowish.and pre flowers come yellowish too.
That's healthy growth! Nothing to be concerned about. That is what the newer growth looks like.

For nutrient feedings, I started with 1/4 strength and worked my way to 1/2 strength. I will not go full strength until about week 4, 5, or 6 of flowering.

I just realized your still in veg.. Are you using Veg nutrients? .

I use that website to diagnose my plants.

I would post a thread on the marijuana plant problems forum to get an expert opinion. When you do, post a picture of the nutrients you are using, type of soil, the ph of your water and soil, lights your using, wattage, distance from plant; it will help them diagnose your problem.

I may have found your problem on this website, http://www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-symptoms. This is what I think it is....Looks like a slight copper deficiency to me. And the tips are brown/orange because your light is too close. But I am just guessing. I would post it in a thread under plant problems to be sure!!!!

I checked http://www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-symptoms before . And It looked to me a copper deficiency first , but My leaves are not that dark green so I eliminate that. but even so it might be slight copper deficiency.

You're right tips are caused from too close lights. I dont have a good setup i cant adjust lights how exactly i want. Some times tips are burn overnight.
Yea i am gonna post it to plant problems section now to be sure. by the way thank you so much mean.green you're a big help realy.

Ya, I don't know why but my burnt tips are orange. It actually looks kinda cool.

by the way thank you so much mean.green you're a big help realy.
No problem!!! I know growing your first crop is stressful. I am here to make it easier for you, if I can.


And it looks like, over Fertilization
Yes I think you are right. Good job diagnosing!!


(EDIT: I keep forgetting you are doing COCO. This advice is for if you switch to soil.)

When you do use nutrients IN SOIL: start off with a 1/4 strength of nutrients, every other watering. After a week or two then do 1/2 strength, every other watering. You probably won't go full strength until you get to flowering stage and switch to flowering nutes.

Soil: You can flush before you flip if you want; but you don't have too. Water with 20% runoff the first week of the flip; the second week of flowering, start off with 1/4 strength. About week 4, you can move to half strength. After week 6 move to 3/4 to a full strength.

The above is how I do it with soil (info for you next grow if you decide to switch to soil). I like to start off with nutrients on small doses...

EDIT:
Flushed with 5.7 pH plain water, runoff is 6.5 Will see if yellowing stop i guess
I just realized your doing coco, good job on the flush!!!
Soilless (like Coco Coir)
Water going in should be 5.5-6.5 pH
If runoff pH is...
  • 5.5-6.5 pH - in the right range, no changes needed.
  • Less than 5.5 - provide next watering at pH 6.5
  • More than 6.5 - provide next watering at pH 5.5

Thanks for the tip. It'll be help when i switch.

I wanna learn as much as i can, before I move. So i can make a clear start. I have 9 weeks before it and I have too much time to take care of more than one plant
I have 7 freebies. strains and sex are unknown.
. I am thinking to try 12/12 from seed. even 1 of them is Female, it would be realy help too me to build a better setup when i move place.
I just made a 2700K 24Wx10 + 6500K 23Wx6 setup in 3,5x2,5 feet box. I have only 2 pc fans blow to bulbs they are not enough. 3 inch below of bulbs is 32 degrees celciuseven box is one side open. I cant imagine what if i close. I need to add some more fans to blow bulbs and one big fan blow little further from open side.

I have 9 weeks
I would flip to 12/12 soon, if you want to be able to smoke it. 6-8 weeks is pretty much the minimum time it takes for the THC to develop to where it gets you high. Less than a 6 week flowering time probably won't be worth your effort.
If I were you, I would transplant to the final pot asap and give three days or more to recover. Then flip to 12/12

My plants were 16-20 inches tall with 8-10 cola's, when I flipped. You are not that far off.

I was thinking flip it 1week later. because I topped it 2-3 days ago.

I bought an air pot for it but wasn't sure if i should transplant yet. Its good to learn.

I transplanted it today. It seems little droppy now. I think did not shock him because i just cut her plastic pot and plant it to same size space i dig on new pot. I flushed the new pot and watered the old pot hours ago before transplant. I think its droppy because of that. Ill switch to 12/12 on 1 May. I cant post a pic now my cellphone isn't working. Ill post a pic of it 4 days later. So you can tell me if its ready for flower.

its 11lt. I watered it once 4 days after transplant . 2 lowest leaves turned yellow and fall in these days so i fed it this time with half dose of recommended. I didn't water it to full. Only gave 1lt water. I heard this strain loves small amount and frequently watering.
