How bout dumping this useless sticky

This is my first grow ever, I did some research and came up with this set up. My 4 plants sprouted good 4days ago, two of them took off great, one followed right behind them but has just developed yellow spots on the leaves (very concerned), and the last one has never developed like the others and looks like its dying with yellow spots as well. I have no idea what to do or even whats happening, any help tips or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday I added foxfarm grow big hydro 1tesp per gal and big bloom 2tesp per gal.
24hr. watering
ph is 6.5
indoor

Totally normal!

how long do vegitative state take my plant is 2 feet tall maybe 2 months old when do i switch to flowering stage

I am as big of a noob as it gets pretty much. I started my first plant(just a bagseed) 56 days ago using crappy top soil and little to no fertilizer, it turned out to be male. but im still growing it for the hell of it tell me what i can do to better with a small price range because im unemployed at the moment. oh yea some type of pest is getting to the bottom leaves of him. looks like little caterpillar holes kind of, but its only the bottom 3 or 4 nodes. i also planted a chronic seed, hows it doin u think?

Growing WW in 5" x 5" fence post cut and drilled for I guess what you would call NFT, it has 3/8 tubing inside drilled to spray 2 streams of nutrients to each 4" basket. It has a 12 gal reservoir w/ a 350 gph pump that takes care of 2 of these 5' long NFT channels. Each channel has 5 4" baskets 1 foot apart for a total of 10 per table. and using peat nuggets to start clones and hydroton to install into baskets.


I was using advance nutrients connoisseur a&b light to moderate feeding but changed to the new recipe which is connoisseur Grand master schedule ( but just changed that 4Days ago)

Ladies are in week 5/6 of bloom.

Resi gets changed every week, or sooner if I feel its necessary, and each basket is flushed with a 1/3 NPK mix with Hygrozyme added, all mixed with RO filtered water.

Ph usually does not go past 1 hr without being checked and corrected. kept @ 5.6
Ph is one concern 1 day after water changes it begins to fall faster and faster, that's right i said fall. I use so much ph up it is scary sometimes.

I do have root rot now and have had it before, but this time the roots were ok @ 1st week of bloom then the roots seemed to get immediately much worse when advance nutes humic acid (H2) was added, this turned them instantly and permanently brown. These additives were removed by the manufacturer from connoisseurs schedule (H2-F1).

Light inside the channels was an issue up until a week ago now they are light tight.

leaves show signs of potassium deficiencies,yellowing on the edges and tips

Growth seems to have slowed or stopped.

I have a table 2 weeks behind that one in the same room and starting to show signs of potassium deficiencies and Ph diving. and roots are turning tan as well.

is there a way to stabilize the Ph and save my crop or is it doomed?

if its two feet tall , you can turn the lights back 12/12 day /night, and give it sum love

hi can anyone help with my plant please? its a himalaya blue diesel, auto from short stuff, growing hydroponic, using Advanced Nutrients (3 part one, grow micro bloom).its on day 40 now, i know its really small for its age but had a big problem with alge an it nearly died, also had a problem with ph being way too high (ran out of testing stuff, was about 7 - 8ph but sorted that about 5-6 days ago now. the problem starts off as the very ends of the new leaves leaves goin yellow after there a couple of days old, then it gets light brown spots which turn black, like on the middle leaves which then get worse and lead to looking like them lower leaves . strange thing it still carrys on growing, its had this prob right from the start. ive searched all over this site but cant find anthin that matches this prob. is it nute burn or nitrogen def or what?thought id sorted it with the ph done but the prob still exists. oh and also it has redish branches, is this normal?

seems like you may be overwatering mate. let them dry out and restart wartering with half niutes at first, then go more.........overwatering is number ! of wilting.

To get an accurate diagnosis of your plant we need as much information as possible.

1) PICTURE OF PLANT *** VERY IMPORTANT ***
2) Growing indoor or outdoors
3) Watering schedule
4) Growing Medium
5) What stage of growth

The more information you put in here the better diagnosis you will get.

Indoor grow cabinet
Soil (miracle grow potting soil 21-7-14) in a 8"round pot. (it worked on my other grow)
900 Watts CFL multi spectrum 18 hours on 6 off. lights within 4" of plant.
She is a clone from a friend (Master Kush?) I have had her for 15 days and I think she was 1-2 weeks old when I got her.
I have a 3 foot high work bench that I drywalled off the interior (and sealed) 5 of the 6 sides. I made up a panel for the front that when in place blocks all the light from exiting the area and being seen. I used foam tape around the front door so the box seals completely. The only air going in or out is controlled by my fans.
I mist her every two days w/ RO water.
I water when the top soil is dry and the pot gets light (about 1/2 gal every 6 days)
My water has a 6.4 - 7 PH ( I use test strips to test the RO water) the runoff is about 7 ph
I have an inline (100 CFM) Fantech fan exhausting through a carbon scrubber and a second fan pulling air into the cabinet with 3 inches of fiberglass filter media in filtering the incoming air.
Temperature runs from 69-82 on the hot days.
I had mites and I used some spray.
Bayer: Imidacloprid .012%
Tau-Fluvalinate .014% two weeks ago

Found more mites and sprayed
Echosense: Sulfer .02%
Ptrethrins .01% a week ago and again two days ago.

I topped her about 5 days ago and she is in training to lay out flat. (I have limited space up).
Tonight I saw this happening to a fan leaf. Cut and this is the issue up close.
Please help me save this lady.

alright so this is my first grow and i thought it was doing good until i checked up on it one day and saw that the stem was COMPLETLEY bent over on its side like the leaves of my plant are practically touching the soil...im using a fluorescent bulb 55 watts and its no more then 10 inches from the plant. Im in my second week exactly and ive been growing it in miracle grow seed starting soil and perlite. 70:30 ratio approximatley. ive also been using no nutrients which i thought might be the case but i dont know... Should i tie my plant to a straight stick to keep the stem straight or should i leave it alone and let it do its own thing?

Help me please
