I've got here so far, now I don't know what I'm doing

[NewbieGreener16]

So I planted the germinated seed on the 17th of jan in the pot and I've dealt with mites up until now (got rid of them with a soapy water feed) and this morning there was some greenish soil with a weird smell that I got rid of... It all seems to be fine right now but I don't know what the next few stages should be like (1st timer)

Looks pretty happy so far.
G/L & welcome to RIU.

 

[MickFoster]

Looks perfect . Good luck with your grow.

 

[NewbieGreener16]

Thanks guys! Also I can't seem to find any nutrients but I found a shop selling generic veg and bloom products, is it worth using them?

A general rule would be if it's good for tomato's then it's sufficient for Cannabis, just remember to start very light - around 25% of recommended dosage.
More is not better, especially on young plants !!

 

[NewbieGreener16]

Ohh makes sense, around when would I start using veg nutrients for the auto NL?

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

You'll need to wait for someone familiar with nutes to help ya.
I'm a super soil guy & don't use them.

 

[Kcbscrogger]

Yeah damn that thing looks picture perfect, good luck and welcome. I'm soil too but there are good people here to help you.

If your soil has time release nutrients, wait atleast 2-3 weeks before feeding. If it's regular potting soil, you can start on your next watering.

It's just some 'soil for herbs' I got because it's my first grow?

And i won't be feeding it for a few days now because I feel like I've overwatered today, but next time I do, will it be fine to use the veg nutrients?

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

Yes, it'll be fine.

Newbie tendency is to overthink and helicopter parent your plants. Find a reliable fert, organic or not, and feed it a mild (25% reco dose) to begin. As she grows increase that to the reco dose. Think of feeding a baby, a kid, an adult- they need different amounts.

 

[NewbieGreener16]

Thanks guys for the help so far! But today I've realised these appearing, what is the cause of this and how do I stop it?

 

[NewbieGreener16]

So I've just noticed more yellowing and one of the older leaf drooping... What should I do?

 

[NewbieGreener16]

Anyone? I don't want it to die if it's serious

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

I for one hate diagnosing o/l plant problems.
Try posting a thread here - lots of knowledgeable people.

Only water, apart from the time I used soapy water to get rid of spider mites

2 things it could be is 1 over warted you girl and 2 is your PH warter is off .. Are you feeding at 6.5 ph and wartering every 4 days a litre in veg in first month is reccommend to you so you won't be able to make much serious mistakes then

I've just been using regular tap water after the first 2 feeds and I think I fed it a lot earlier than 4 days to be honest?
