My plants look rediculous

Hi, im new here, still learning the ropes.
After buring 2 plants I decieded to cut the nute strength in half, started 3 new plants, and realized they look retarded. They have big deformed leaves growing in funny directions. I did some research and I came to the conclusion that they are getting to much nutes still. So I dilute to about a 1/3. My ph and ppm is all good, i fushed the plants for a little while, but i still see funky looking activity.










This is just one plant, the other 2 show similar signs but not nearly as bad as this one does. If anyone has some advice please help save these babies!

The leaves would most likely be dead if it was nute burn. They do look a bit funky. What do you got for lights?

well , if they dont make it out try to make a spinach pie with feta cheese out of them , seriusly they look delicius , give them some time and even less ferts , got ppm readings ? r/o ????

is the seeds from a company which the name starts with "N" and ends with "irvana"

More lights. Your color is way too hardy looking. This isnt a nitrous efficiency so its not that they're getting too many nutes. Also its still early on, so if you get more light (dont forget the fan too) on your plants You will be able to correct its growth.

Yes, spinach pie with feta cheese, this is good. I have an HPS light system, i turn it off when i take the picture, cant see anything when its on. Im using AN 3 part and piranah, according to the chart on the website using 8 gallons of water
the reading should be 1116ppm and nute strength 120 ml of each. I've broken that down now to about a 1/3 of the strength
484 ppm. I use distilled water, try to change it once a week. PH should be somewhere between 5.3 and 5.7.




Here are the other 2. They look pretty decient. You cant really see from these pictures but there is a little bit of discoloration in one of the these. On one there is a little tiny burnt spot on the tip of one leaf. Are "special" leaves that kinda have an undercurl another sign of too much nutes? The other 2 seem to be fine ever since I cut everything down.

Na man not necessarily anything wrong with these. They look hooked. Meaning they are feeding. I'd say drop it a little less just to be on the safe side. To about 375-400 ppm. Maybe even less depending in how old they are. How old boi?

Next time, start with something like 1/8th strength, and increse from there. Once you start seeing the very tips of the leaves burning, back off a little. Also, they don't need any nutes until the first set of leaves have started. Keep that on mind. Anything more than a tiny amount, is playing with fire.


It also looks like you need more light. What are you using?

If you were using too many nutrients yellowing would occur.Because of your hardy growth patterns i dont believe its an efficiency. Its either light or more nutrients you need, not less.

Age has nothing to do with feeding. It's size and health, that matters, 100%.

You must be in soil? Anyway,....yep, my point exactly. Less in more, in most cases. Especially, until you've learned to recognize what your plant needs. Deficiencies are alot easier to fix, than nuteburn or nutelock.

so what should i do? im in soil that the guy at the hydroponics store said was really good and had worm castings and some other shit in it, but yea i didnt know it was fucked up looking till i looked at his since this is my first grow

they are about 3 weeks old. im using a 250 watt HPS bulb right now. I know i should be using metal halide for veg. growth but its all I have right now. My ballask kicks extra lummens, think it tops off at 55,000 lummens.

seedbank / seed history-age ?

every nirvana seed ive tried looked like shit 3 times 3-4 strains each, i remember super skunk had the exact ... delicius leaf , give it some time but take cuttings from the other ones as soon and if u see u are going for the pie replace it with the cuttings which by then will be rooted

Man i dont know any of that stuff, i didnt even order seeds. These are all bag seeds from some pretty potent shit. I didnt want to invest in a strain and mess it all up with my inexperiance. Once i've grown a few times and have the hang of how stuff is supposed to go then i'll buy some good genetics.

^Waiting til you get some experience, is very wise. I did the same thing, myself.
