    Need your help identifying this nute deficiency in a seedling.

    Boys... boys boys boys.... Ok, well after careful consideration I flushed the pots with PH'd 6.5 give or take with 1.25ml of CalMag in 1/2 gallon (standard is 3-5mg per gallon) so we'll see if that helps. I bought a moisture, light and PH probe for like $10 at Home Depot and the thing barely...

    What?? I'm not using FFOF... I'm using Miracle Grow Seed Starter.

    Need your help identifying this nute deficiency in a seedling.

    The deficiency existed before the feeding. What do you mean that was the mistake I made? The symptom existed before any troubleshooting began, so that is not the issue. This is, at best, what I can tell but I need a second opinion: http://www.growweedeasy.com/magnesium-deficiency-cannabis

    Need your help identifying this nute deficiency in a seedling.

    It's PH-ing around 6 to 6.5. No digital meter here yet.

    Need your help identifying this nute deficiency in a seedling.

    Just some background - I had a HORRIBLE experience, three times, with Coco Coir damping my seedlings off so this is my first attempt at soil growing. So forgive my below ignorance, but this is still my ongoing "first grow attempt". Here is a my seedling, a Nirvana Snow White in some Miracle...

    Lost another grow attempt to damping off.

    I mean prior to putting the beans in the coco. Should I "pre-charge" the coco with low strength mix of nutes or wait for first leaves to start feeding?

    GH Flora series. Dude, only got to use nutes once out of two grow attempts. Maybe I should mix up some like 1/4 strength nutes and water the coco since it's nuteless, or would that burn the sprouts?

    Lost another grow attempt to damping off.

    RH is 33% give or take. Temps are around 73F in the tent with the lights on. I was running 24/7 light. Blackstar and CFLs, and the Blackstar has UV so I thought that would help against fungus. It has to be over watering. It's the only thing I can think of. Tent is in the basement and there's...

    Yeah this Coco stuff seems to really be giving me a hard time.

    Lost another grow attempt to damping off.

    Well, grow attempt #2 is down the drain due to damping off. I only watered them twice in a week, about 3 days apart, both times barely an ounce of water, and both my seedlings died due to getting the black ring around the stem. Both times I lifted the cups and they felt very light, but I guess...

    Will a fan cause a weak stem in a seedling?

    Can you link me to a PH pen that you know works? I just have the GH up/down kit with the drops. RH is about 20-25% since it's so cold here. I kept the bulbs closer because the fan blowing cooler air across them kept the heat away from the seedlings. I think it was just the motion of shaking...

    Will a fan cause a weak stem in a seedling?

    Water every other day about 1/4 to 1/3 oz of tap water PH'd at 6 give or take. Water PPM = 28 from tap (well water). I do not know the PPM of the nutes but it will be low since I did even less than half-strength. This is their first feeding and only 1 plant fell over. The other one was tipped...

    Will a fan cause a weak stem in a seedling?

    All three CFL's for the two plants were all 6500k. I now have them in the tent with the Blackstar 240 UV on. Grrrr... Lost my last two seeds to damping off from over-watering and now this. If these two don't make it maybe I'm just not cut out for this?

    Will a fan cause a weak stem in a seedling?

    Hey all, One of my seedlings flopped on it's side this morning. Mind you, it's about 2" tall, so not stretching at all.. Seedling is Nirvana's snow white. Temps were about 75 with two 23w (100w equiv) CFL's overhead. Too much light maybe??? I had a small desk fan blowing on them and it would...

    When should nutes be given to a seedling in Coco?

    Hey all, When should nutes be given to a seedling in Coco, since Coco Coir doesn't have any nutrients in it? Sprouts are only 4 days old, and I've just been given them 1/4 to 1/3 oz of water every other day. Yesterday I noticed the party cups felt really light so I dumped in maybe 6oz of PH'd...
