Hey everybody how you doin this is my seond grow but first one that has come this far last time was just a disaster but this time were tryin for real. Anyways right now for lighting we have 4 45 watt day spectrum cfls, and two 23 watt blue spectrum cfls for the lowryder 2. Right now the thai stick sprouts and northern lights are under a 55 watt tube flouro light. There are three fans going around the closet. So here are some picks of the set up as it is now

So in total there are 6 lowryder 2, 2 thai stick, and one northern light all genetics are from nl seeds seedbank and all have been planted in standard potting soil with about a tablespoon or so of dolomite lime mixed in the soil in some cases. The light cycle right now is 24 hours. So here are some piks of the ladies right now the first four are lowryder 2 and they are about 3 and a half weeks in the northernlight in the orange bucket is also about three and a half weeks old and the thai sticks are only about 2 weeks old and are just overcoming a stretching incident.

Theres one more lowryder 2 that i forgot to take a pic of but its within the range of all of those plants. Ok now here comes the part where i need some help. Those two lowryder 2 's that are in the ceramic pots fan leaves are starting to yellow. Ive heard thats a characteristic of nitrogen defeciency but i wsnt sure whether or not that can be a factor for that small of a plant. The plants new growth also seems to be growing yellow. I aslo have not been able to sex any of the lowryder 2 out yet which was part of my original plan. Im not sure if this is because they are not on a light cycle of what but i was pretty sure that the plants matured according to age instead of light cycle. Some of the lowryder 2 in the normal pots are also starting to curl some of their leave tips. If anyone could help me diagnose any of these problems or just wants to watch this grow please post all are welcome to post im looking forward to keeping this journal WELCOME

ya i know what ya saying, as long as your sure its not stress from somethin else, id say its a nitrogen deficency...maybe even dilute the nutes ya got now, and administer them right!
these a small autoflowering plants prolly arent to condusive to fighting back much stress...

alright so taking into consideration what the beatles man himself mean mr mustard has said i decided to run a little experiment tonight. I took the two sickly looking lowryders in the ceramic pots and to one i gave straight h20 water the good stuff . The other and more sickly looking one i watered with miracle grow bloom booster food (i know its not ideal but im a poor college kid on a budget) at half the sugested concentration. So i guess in the next 24 hours or so we will hopefully get to the root of this problem no pun intented

no most of em look fine i mean some are showing some minor curling of leaves but not any where near what those two are doing. But anyway just looked at em and the lowryder that was given nutrients seems to be doing much better than the one that was given just water so ill probbably give some nutes to that one today but the new growth really looks damaged anyway well see what happens probably post some more pics later today.
