2nd attempt at growing have some problems.

Alright guys, a few months back i attempted a grow and had a few problems. I managed to fix most of them but i gave up. This time around im having some other problems.

I started growing in a dresser and i upgraded to a new grow room yesterday. I cannot tell you info on the dresser such as temp, humidity etc.

Here is my new set up:



The current room is about 4 feet wide 3 feet deep and 8 feet high. 3 of the 4 walls are covered in emergency blankets.

Here is my problem plant:



This is a random bag seed i got. (Only 1 of 4 germed)
As you can see the 2 bottom leaves and the 2 tiny leaves (the first 2 the plant gets, i forget the name) are turning yellow and starting to sag.

This was a bag seed. It germed and was planted April 14th and sprouted April 17

Im currently using 6 23watt bulbs this plant is directly under 2 of them.

So far i only notice problems with the bag seed. I was watering everyday with about an ounce of water. I used ferts for the first time yesterday. I plan to water every other day with enough water to make a small amount come out the bottom of the pot, and use ferts once a week.

The ferts i used are:



Also could you guys tell me a good time to transplant these plants? They are all in 6.5cm pots

(Below are pics of my 2 other plants CCK means Caramel Candy Kush)

Hey man, your first plant looks ok maybe just waited a little too long to add nutrients. It should recover well.

As a rule of thumb, you could transplant whenever the leaves start to grow over the edge of the pot.

Does the pot feel light? Looks a bit thirsty to me.

Yea they all feel light. I have been watering them everyday. I skipped days here and there in fear i of over watering.

I have been looking around and alot of ppl say to water half strength. I watered full strength will this be a problem? Also is once a week good for nutes?

And i will probably transplant them soon

Don't transplant until after they've recovered, they don't need the extra stress.

Try a single good soaking, and see if they perk up.

well first off you're biggest issue you have is that fertilizer you have! please don't tell me your feeding that to your plant because that's the reason why your plant is wilting and yellow. Ive said this before and I'll say it again! Don't cheap out on your ferts always get proper hydroponic fertilizers that are made to grow plants that flower and are being grown in a controlled atmosphere. Ferts are needed the most for a good successful grow with a big yeild! Never ever ever ever use Miracle grow because its Miracle Shit for growing weed and also never ever ever ever use any fert thats equal N-P-K values! what you have is 20-20-20 and is intended to be used with things that don't flower such as grass, wheat ect. I hope this was useful to you and if I was you I would flush them with just water If you fed them that 20-20-20 shit and also I would re-transplant them into new soil. pluss your plant is to young to be getting ferts you want to wait untill it's in veg stage right now its still in seedling stage give it some time! when your plants are young the best thing to remember is less is more! (that is you have the proper soil, lights and clean water) you shouldn't need to add ferts for a few weeks after sprouting from the soil. good luck!

s7even said well bout every thing i would mention but a few things, you shouldnt have to water every day when that small at first glance i thought one was over watered n over ferted. but other than that your kush would be what i would grow, ive done the bag seed thing from some killer reggies n i fed it what i feed every thing else n it sucked its so hard to tell how its going to turn out, but im a big fan of kush give me every type of kush old kush, new kush, good kush. but ne ways spend some money on your plants an they will love you for it, i love b.c. nutes good stuff, as well as botanicare. also if you dont have a ppm meter or something to measure your nutes with you may wanna invest that will help you not over feed stay around 500ppm an work up. i like to feed with every water a b vitamin like thrivalive or liquid karma an sugardaddy or sweet (almost same product but sweet usually cheaper). an as a rule of thumb water, water, nute, so depending on your potting size you may nute 1 to 3 times a week. something to mention i dont add food untill i notice rapid upward growth this means its no longer a seedling in the pre-veg phase its actualy veging now. but im going to stop typing now sorry if i rambold on there but have a growtastic day an keep us updated

let them dry out between waterings...........no nutes yet.

I mean no disrespect seven, but you dont know what the nug your talking about.

Your plant needed nitrogen and began to yellow, you then fed it a strong dose of fertilizer and you burned it a little.

The real problem usually isnt fertilizer, its microbial.
Microbes break down fertilizer so the plant can take them up and use them. If your soil is healthy, your plant will be healthy.
Use lots of beneficial bacteria, and beneficial fungi with an enzyme concentrate and you can grow bad ass plants with any kind of organic fertilizer.
..BUT that fertilizer you got is chemical based, chemical based fertilizers kill microbial activity which is one of the reason why you shouldnt use them unless they are specificly designed for cannabis, not to mention the gross chemical taste your nugs will have if you flower with that cheap k-mart fertilizer you got, haha
Theres nothing wrong with a fetilizer that has equal NPK values like 2-2-2, I wouldnt recommend it for flowering, but you can use it for veg. Just keep in mind that veg plants usually like more N, middle aged plants usually like more phosphorus, and mature nugged up plants usually like more potassium. Lots of companies like to make fertilizers with higher phosphorus levels to increase overall nug size to amaze the customer with an "impressive" final yield. I personally like to end with higher potassium as I feel the nugs are of better quality eventho the yield is a little bit lighter.
Plus it has been speculated that high phosphorus levels in any thing you smoke can lead to respiratory problems.

......Anywho, In my opinion, this is what I would do:
First I would stop using that fertilizer at full strength and start using it at 1/4 strength tell your plant looks better!
Then I would flush the soil a little with some water that has a pinch of epsom salt added and then I would leave her alone for a about a week.
In the mean time, I would get a bag of Roots, Happy Frog, Fertiloam, or any good 35lbs bag of organic soil for growing edibles bought from a local nursery.
Then I would add 8-10 cups of worm castings, 1/4 cup of epsom salt, and a cup of dolomite lime.
Then I would put that mix in 2 or 3 thick walled plastic bags, Then I would put them in my back yard tell the plant began to perk up
Then when the plant looks a little healthier, I would transplant into 3 gallon pots using lots of Great White, Ricks Monster Grow, or Roots Organism.
(Always water with 50% Reverse Osmosis and 50% aeriated tap water with dash of epsom salt.)
Also, feed with a pre brewed compost tea for best results.

BTW, you can trust me. Ive been growing for like 6 years straight now with scratch organics.

over-watering also causes yellowing of leaves. microbial? not too many beneficial microbes in that damp quagmire.
no nutes. not a grain of N. let it recover, and feed when you say to yourself...."wow.....she's really takin' off." this is all in my humble opinion, and you must be cautious about listenin' to folks on here

y use 50% r/o an 50% tap greenchile? if your putting epsom salts in it your good cuz ur adding magnisum an i believe sulfer ( thats sweet, bud candy, sugardaddy, probly many others). now true watering with a near 0 ppm water will strip out nutes, but tap water contains chlorine which kills any biological life in your soil.

MG & 20-20-20. A buddy of mine is growing using that, and a couple of CFL's. The plants are fine, just a little slow and not nearly as big as mine, but they're doing OK and he's happy with them.
