Few Different Plant Problems w/ Pics

[nathan76296]

plant #1 (top-44)
haven't watered in about 3 days becus the pot still feels pretty full. the leaves are starting to yellow and hang down. the new growth seems to be okay...

#2 (white rhino or white widow)
did I fim her right? she has been in the same conditions as the others and looks really good. not sure why the others dont take after her.

#3 (white rhino or white widow)
slow and stunted growth. all leaves are light green. have her in foxfarm light warrior. i transplanted the other bigger ones into foxfarm ocean forest and they are taking off. not sure if I should do the same for this one or trash it...


pH of water is around 6-7.

anyone can say what they want but i feel that ff is a little strong for babies.. The one that looks like shit, I would flush that pot and they should perk right back up. I just burnt a ww baby with the OF but after I flushed them they came right back to health and now growing like crazy

Your plants are under watered and humidity is way too low.

How do you know the humidity is too low? And don't take that question as starting an argument, I'm just wondering what your observing to tell that?

 

[nathan76296]

temp is always around 80-90 just check and humidity is at 40%. i have 3 fans blowing on the plants at all times. and then 1 exhaust and one intake. what should the humidity be at? the lowest i've seen it drop is 32% i think.

 

[max316420]

having lower humidity will just dry your pots out quicker, you might wanna try and get your temps down a bit tho. But perfect humidity for veg is 55-60 %

I agree. You got some fine tuning to do with your Rh and watering. The yellowing could be a lock up are you watching
Your ph ? Fox farm soil is full of nutes so dont use any extra nutes. You shouldnt see yellow at this age with FF soil
So I feal ph is a issue

And your temps are way to high 90 is bad

Good question~ See how the leafs are ridging up and folding in, well the leafs are drying out and trying to protect them selfs. The roots are doing there best to get water up, but there are not enough. Humidity at that stage would be best between 70-75% 65% would help much.

You need a Vicks Humidifier. They push humidity up real nice like. Then get a fan going to pull the heat out, but not se fast that the humidity drops. Find the happy medium.

okay i will go get a humidifier today! did i do okay fimming that one plant? i have her in the same box as the others and she isnt showing any problems like the others. i'll also go get a pH tester kit for the water.

Your humidity is okay, but you are underwatering. It's easy to do, in party cups. At 80-90*, it won't take much more than a day, before the majority of roots are left hanging in dry soil, effectively starving the plants. The easiest way to fix this, is to go to bigger pots, which'll retain water longer. Also, the fresh soil will kept them fed well. Or, you can start weak fert, and water more often(and heavily, when you do water). I'd transplant, it's foolproof.

Your fim job looks great! Give it a week and you will see. Ph your water 6.5 every time~ Have fun and enjoy your grow.

P.S. I also agree that your temps are a little too high. They'll still grow, just a little slower than they could. 40% humidity isn't that bad, but...yes, they'd be happier around 50%. Mine has hovered around 40% for years, and never had a problem.

AT 50% humidity in veg and never having a problem is ok, but getting your humidity as close to optimal as possible would turn your garden into greatness.

yeah i know what you mean. it seems to dry out in a day. i water till i see it start coming out the bottom of the cup. i will go get a bigger pot becus the others seemed to take off once i transplanted them...

thanks for the advice. one more question i know yous aid i was underwatering but is that just for the small one? for the larger plants i watered them 3 days ago but the pot still seems kinda heavy when i pick it up... so i havent watered yet.

In your sig link you wrote on 09-30-2010 11:45 PM ~ "Hey guys, this is my first grow journal, and actually, my first grow that has been going great But above you say you have had low humidity for years ? I'm just saying some people give bad advice so its best to check them out before taking into consideration there advice.

I had my babies like yours, in small cups. I watered every other day and kept the soil moist. 2 weeks in cups and I had to take them out and transplant. I split the cups in half and the roots where full, just beautiful.
Keep them all moist. The roots need every bit of soil to run around in and fill in a nice root ball.

i am most concerned about this one and under/over watering. what does it look like i should do with her?

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Looks like a haze variety. I would drench her soil and get humidity up.

u cant really flush fox farm. the seedling u mentioned is overwatered and just need to dry out. i only germ in foxfarm if i have cut it with perlite. then its good to go.
