My First Grow

Looks like too much nutes so they have lockout. Have you fed yet the link to the coco you gave me said you didn't have to feed for first 8 weeks maybe it's to concentrated is causing lockout that's what it looks like imo hope I could help try just water for a few weeks until runoff is below 200 ppm

Yeah I'll give that a shot. Guy at the shop said the nutes in the soil should last about 5 weeks so that is possible. I will try a flush and just go strictly water for the next week or so. Thanks.

U need more N ur lights probably to close and ur pots are why to big for those tiny plants besides that everything looks good

Thanks, I have the light about 2 feet above the tops 1000w super hps. Is that too close? I went with the big pots off the bat so I didn't have to transplant, probably could have gone with 3gal I suppose. I'm hoping I can get my 2 widow autos done before I have to put the SH into flower(for size reasons).

Id go up alil more thats alot of light for those young plants and id have started in 2l pots so ur roots will fill that then u move to bigger pots, as of now u have about 20% roots 80% soil so it stays wet longer and looks over watered

And run off is imo a waste of time just feed them what u want if u see burn back of alil i have a small plant eating 750ppm of advanced nutrients i just make sure i flush good

Thanks for all the great info! That makes a lot of sense now starting with the smaller pots to get the good root base. Should I still flush or would you recommend just leaving it? I'll back that light off a bit too.

Give it time to recover from root rot. What type of water are you using. have you tested it

What other plant is in your tent just curious?

What nutes r u using? Looks overwatered too me, cuz ur ph was good i thought

Those are some tomatoes and the red solo cups are a couple bag seeds that germinated. Nutes are the same brand as the soil http://dakine420.com/product/nitro-nutrients-grow/ base and bloom. I also have some Sensi calmag that I havn't used yet but I got just incase. I am starting to think I over watered as well and maybe burned the SH. Today it is showing more signs of a magnesium deficiency(upper leaves are tacoing a bit).

Light will go off soon. But here's some pictures before the light goes off.

Plants are looking much better today.

Received my replacement Hortilux Blue MH bulb and swapped it back in while the light was off today. The plants seem to be recovering nicely from the overwatering/feeding, going to wait at least another day before feeding them.

Both plants have perked up substantially, still going to wait one more day before feeding again as the coco wasn't quite to the point of needing water so tomorrow should be perfect. NL is about 13" tall and starting to explode with bud sites and SH is about 9" tall still just recovering.

Plants are looking great today, they also got a feeding. Was wondering if the yellow leaves at the bottom on my NL was something I needed to be worried about or if it just started pulling nutes from those leaves because I had to wait so long due to the over watering. Any input is appreciated.

So it's been a few days since I've posted an update. But the plants are doing great, I started a little LST on my SH. NL is now on day 11 of flower and looking great.

NL at day 14 of flower and looking outstanding. SH is starting to get some more vertical growth and my widow autos especially WW#1 is starting to take off. Bag seeds are growing at a steady pace, may need to transplant them soon.

NL at day 20 of flower and getting frosty, WW#1 has started to show signs of flowering. Transplanted bag seeds into 1gal pots. SH is showing signs of something and I'm not quite sure what it is (darkening leaves) any input is appreciated.

Day 23 of flower for the NL auto and looking better and better every day, SH seems to be shaping up and is trying to take over the tent. The 2 WW autos are growing nicely also.

Had to add some dowels to tent walls to keep it from sucking in so much as I'm running out of space. Day 26 of flower on the NL auto and shes frosting over nicely.
