Hey everyone.
This is my first post on here. After being a regular reader for some time i decided to try my own grow.
I'll just give you the lowdown on my setup:
Wardrobe, 6X 3gallon pots (filled with bio-bizz allmix) each with a 30 DAY from seed skunk #1 sitting in it. Using an rvk systemair 100mm filtered exhaust connected to 400W HPS cool tube, with 2 passive intakes.
Temp 26-28c Humidity 20-50%
My seeds germinated fine in a propagator and seemed to be thriving in pots after transplant until the third week when I saw roots trying to escape my 1 gal pots and the leaves seemed to start drooping a little. I watered more regularly (approx. once daily). Everyday more drooping seemed to occur and I attributed this to them outgrowing their pots and needing more water. I watered once more with a 1/4 strength canna terra vega water solution.
I realised at this point that the problem may have been in fact that I'd been overwatering.
Over the next few days I've noticed almost total stop in upward growth, plants seem to be too bunched up tight so I've transplanted them to 3 gal pots and ceased watering until the soil is bone dry. Some lower leafs are totally yellow and some yellow with brown spots. Some also have dark grey patches.
This is very confusing for me. I'm not sure if they're under or over fertilised or over watered etc. Will these plants thrive again? I've noticed leaves have picked up a little since not watering and stem seems a little firmer at the top.
I'm not sure whether to wait and see if they start growing again. Buy more seeds and start again or try and clone them to save some money.
I'd very much appreciate any help! Thanks!
