I germinated with a paper towel, then planted ten days ago, changed the water (bottled water) three days ago, but my plants seem to develop some sort of a burn…​

​

I didn't add nutes yet.. but my AG came with this new liquid nutrients​

​

Please help me save my babies​

Looks like burn or ph. You said you didnt use the nutes though right? even the one that came with your AG?

prolly the PH I had the same problem my first week or so without nutes. go get a PH balance test kit and some PH up & PH down and make sure you keep the PH around 5.7

well if you have no nutes in the water, then pH really isn't a problem. pH only locks out available nutes. I think you have a general nute deficiency. You need the standard N P and K. It looks like you especially need nitrogen, cause your leaves are so yellow.. But, beware of over fert'ing...don't use anything stronger than half strength at this point. your plants are young.. Good luck.

I think your right, I just added 3/4 of the liquid nutes sachet that came with the AG.
Thanx guys, I will update this thread.

I tasted this strain in Geneva its an indica sativa called: "heidi's pussy" by Swiss intruder and it was UNBELIEVABLE..
I did so much to get these seeds back home with me, would hate to see them go to waste.

Hello everybody..
It has been 16 days since planting, I think I had the burn because of lack of nutes, because four days age I added half a packet of nutes, and now they seem to be doing better than before (you can see the difference between this pics in post an the and the ones in the beginning of the thread)
Regarding the PH kit, in my part of the world they don't exist and for now I don't have one.
The lights and the fan are on 24/7 and I have the AG on the tomatoes setting.
PLEASE any advise me on when I should change anything in my setup.

Why would that happen?
Why would the back row grow bigger?
I thought its because my front row is White widow, and the back row is Heidi's pussy..

I need some advise on this..
I tried moving the front plants to the back of the AG(for some reason the plants in the back are twice as big and growing twice as fast), but one of them can't be moved because its roots are tangled with the roots of another plant.
is this normal? what should I do?

i vote to leave them where they are let them do their own thing. different strains will perform different. even plants of the same strain. check my grow pg 12 and see that i have 2 plants going and the one in the front slot is 2-3inches taller than the one in the back left slot. but all through veg the one in the back was much bigger. as soon as i switched to flower the front one took off.

each plant is just going to do its own thing. dont stress them or risk damaging the roots just to move them a couple inches.

when their roots are in the water....turn the ag water pump off (make sure you get an airstone + air pump if you dont have one)

i think that the back slots get a better water flow than the front slots.

Thanx NinjaOZDuce for your input.
I think your right, the back row definitely gets better "something" because they are growing much faster.
I will update in a couple of days with pics.
Cheers

Hello there,
I think I'm doing OK,
I have my AG on tomatoes & pepper setting which is 16 hours on 8 off
and my additional lighting, I kept on 24/7
should I change that?
your advise is very welcome
I will also be adding an air pump and stone.

get a figure 8 power cord and plug that into the ag hood and you can have all of your lights on the same time

Hello guys..
my plants seem to have developed some spots on some of the leaves... Should I be worried?

Hello there..

It has been five weeks from planting, Don't they look small for their age?
Should I change anything, lighting? ventilation?
I have my AG on tomatoes & pepper setting which is 16 hours on 8 off
and my additional lighting, I kept on 24/7 along with a pump & airstone
I add one packet of AG nuts once a week when changing the water
am I doing anything wrong?

I'm very exited being at this stage as this is my fourth attempt after failing the first two
Please advise...

I think you should turn off your AG pump Or else your going to have to scrape off mold from your sponges. Like ninja had to in his grow... I kno i will be turning mine off as soon as my roots touch the water. Airstone all the way thru. GL they look nice!
