Alright so I'm using miracle grow 6 month feed an my plant are about a month old but are exhibiting signs of a cal def.

Going to give my autos there first bloom nutes should I do 1/2 or 1/4 using dyna bloom 3-12-6. I haven't fed any nutes yet
 
Go with quarter strength first less is always more with nutes i see alot of ppl saying they feed alot and have no problems but then a few weeks later they have problems, its all the build up from the salts in the nutes so just take it slow and see how they react, happy growin.

hes definitely right i really doubt your getting deficiency.. a lot of dficnecy is over looked for ph and soil moisture as well as lack of oxygen... its easier to see pics of the plants. If your going as cheap as miracle grw i would run dyna gro veg and boom its the same cost two part system though so your not feeding massive excess nuts.. miracle grow is really giving too much P and K in your veg.

oh sorry yeah start your first feed at 1/4 .... i am sure you can up to 1/2 the next week then go to full the last weeks... but don't start full especially cause of the nutrient switch
 
thats a long time to dry ... i use pails with no holes and i water every other day before its bone dry... are they on like cement or a direct cold ground? generally when the soil is cold it takes 5-7 days to completely dry
 
2 days is my 2 gallon buckets my fives can go like 2 days or sometimes they need it every three.... but i also don't soak the crap out of my soil... theres no need.. unless your trying to flush the soil

I think this is my issue actually as the soil always seems cold despite temps in my closet being at 73-79. pretty sure it's causing the spots. Looks like it's time to get em off the ground and cut back watering volume but still going to give em a blast of nutes at 1/4 thanks guys :)
 
yeah raise them up off the floor milk crates.. foam insulation something to get them off the cold floor
 
Ya man prop ur plants up off the ground i have my girl in a 3.5 gallon since she was 6" and my soil drys out in two-three days u dont want ur planter on a cold floor, u kno if u google the grow bible u can find a link to download it for free and it helps alot thats what i used alot when i first started growing. Ur biggest problem will always be ph and heat so keep those in check and everything should go smooth
 
got a cool must humidi

got a cool most humidifier on floor level and it's happening to all three pots one has roots busting out the holes. Looks like this is the issue thanks homie.
 
can i ask why your running a humidifier? i mean unless its middle summer and zero humidity outside.. you should really never need a humidifier... they really are for seriously large grows with emense heat and generally only for like flood and drain hydro rooms because theres very little moisture put off in flood and drain... chances are thats keeping your soil way to moist too... kill the cool mist humidifier if anything you should have a dehumidifier.
 
just water in soil alone normally keeps your room humidity above 50% I've never ever ran a humidifier... i mean i live in michigan where its always moist except mid summer so general air carries more than enough humidity maybe i could see needing one mid summer but even then the pots in my room leak enough water into the air. ... maybe in cali or possibly arizona you may use one more ... don't get me wrong theres a place and time for everything... but like i said the pots alone leak humidity when the rooms properly temperature controllled.
 
I have a 4x4 and dont lice in a dry or humid state, rh was never above 30 so I needed one and can fluctuate all the way up to 50 for veg. Which I thought was optimum(therefor hed possibly need one as well?)

5-7 days is very long time to dry though, changes my statement fod your situation a little.

removed humidifier and raised up my plants seems much better th still sitting at 46 percent which is okay for me this may of been my prolem cause of the extra moisture in the air we will see in the coming weeks one things for sure they are stinking up the house lol

46% is fine as long as you have proper air circulation as well as new air flow coming in.
