PICTURES ATTATCHED!!!

My Equipment:

125watt CFL Maxibright (Blue Spectrum)
3x Auto flowering 'Northen Lights'
Black Plastic Pots
Generic Garden Center Compost
Fed on Distilled Water (out of kettle)

Im having trouble finding out the source of problem, my plants are 2 weeks old and are growing upward nicely but.

One plant has started to get yellow veins and another plant has yellow leaf tips but i have just potted them up.


If anyone can give me some advice i would appreciate it.

They actually look pretty healthy. Little bit of yellow happens. A few of my babies had similar problems and they ended up growing just as well as the rest. Are the leaves frail?

Thank you very much the leafs are nice and bendy and soft, could you recommend any nutrients, also the correct dosages

lookin good, they look like they may need some magnesium or zinc but they're probably just askin for their first quarter strength dose of nutes, alot of companies and ive only tried one so i wont try to recommend any, but technaflora has a nice 3 part micro/macro formula for both growth phases and is reasonably priced, i use their full recipe for success and have had nothing but great results they use alot of local types of seaweed in their products its great stuff for the price. are you watching your ph? and remember start the nutes off real light, quarter strength is good


edit hey are those cigarette butts i see in the first photo, careful nicotine on the hands is poison to seeds , i pinched a mothers leaf one time after having a smoke and it browned on the leaf like a finger print

I use vitaboost pro for the youngsters. It's light so they adjust well to it. I feed em a teaspoon per gallon of water for younger plants. And 2 teaspoons per gal after like 3 feeds with only 1. So you give them just water on first feed then 1 day of nothing. Next day give them the nutes. So you water every 2 days and feed every 4. The soil should be dry when u feed em. And when it comes time to harvest, feed them only water for a week before harvest or else u will get harsh nugs. Keep posting pics as they grow up. I'm a new grower too and we have a similar setup. I'd love to see how yours turn out

well from what i know is you stick 1/3 of your finger in the soil if you feel the soil is dry then u need to water..if it's still moist then just leave it alone but don't water them everyday at this time because they still small and young you might overwater and kill them
check out my grow under the signature..i'm a first grower just like you too :D
