That looks awful. 5 bucks says you're nuking it with nutrients you don't need.

And if you have a 600 watt MH lamp it should be putting out closer to 60,000 lumens. With it, you don't need any other lighting. It's actually overkill for a single plant.

When adding lights raise them all. Then gradually lower an inch a day. Watch for any changes in color, twisting, wilting etc. First sign of any just hold or raise a bit.

Sometimes people here come across as mean but most of the time it's a bit of fun and games.

I do think I see a bit of heat stress in that pic and someone above said something about nuking it with nutrients, you may be feeding to much also. It is hard to give any advice based off just strain and lighting as they are one of many many factors in a grow... age, nutes, ph etc... more info would help. A few people already in this thread are in the know and have helped me out of a hole or 2 in the past so with a little info people can give better advice. I wish you the best of luck with your grow and will chime in if I think I can help. Also what is your ph? I have had a few swings in oh do some funky shit in the past but I am standing with heat stress until I know more. There are many people here with much more experience than me that will prob chime in... happy growing:bigjoint:

Ok let me add some info. I followed a soil mix. Blood meal, bone meal, worm castings, epsom salt, perlite, organic soil, good bacteria added, and a touch of boron i think. I dont add nutes as I was told I wouldnt need it. Honestly going to check soil ph tonight. She is about 2 months old.

Well you may not need any added amendments with how you are set up but I am not an organic genius so I won't tell you what I don't know but if you do need a bump down the road you can always top dress and water. Most of the organic grows I have done have turned out great... that being said I followed subcools mix and ran it and only had to follow someone else's hard work and experiance in making killer soil. (Thanks subcool).

Also the ratios you mixed at matter as far as it making it from seed to harvest but as I have only followed the recipe from sub and changed it slightly a few times (with great results) I don't feel I'm in a position to give the best advice. I do feel you have some heat stress still tho. Happy growing!

A better picture would help us look at it closer . . . Almost looks bleached a bit? How close are your lights and average temperature with lights on and off? I also see some burnt leaf tips, what is your watering schedule?

Good effort, most likely lots is slightly off.

Organics - i could go through the hassle of mixing maturing and cooking my own soil from a guesstimate of ingredients or i could just use a bag of potting soil and biobizz fish keep it easy and controlled.

Grow a few more in basic soil see if that corrects a few small issues, dont chase ph in soil, its already what it is :-)

Hey man it was based off subcools ratios. My old hs science teacher told me about the micros and what not, I would love to hear any changes you came up with. My main post wasbasicly to see if the lights i have will suffice through flower?? Its mainly a very strong led with two lowspecteum bulbs for a bit of heat and low spectrum rays. Im picking up shit every conversation.

Hey listen im asking for help and picking up all kinds of new info for a 420 fella you seem wound tight. Thanks for the reply, I do appreciate people that take time to give input good or bad. So i used subcools base soil mix. I initially had the led panel pretty close then i read it should be 12 to 18 inches so i moved it back. I am having a rough time with those little piss knats too. This is recent pic.

The lights are now 17 inches. Like a dumb ass I installed a panel and didn't read first. I had the light inches away for a few hours.. Its 70 during the day 68 at night. I have had a hard time with water. Its not a clay pot so it holds water more and the leds run relatively cold so I water much less. The area has a bad knat problem too. We live near water so maybe to humid?

Try insecticide soap to get rid of your pests. I use this one cause it's what is available at the local brick and mortar. 1533870085833424555380.jpg
Pick up a one of these while you're at it. I also grow in the basement. A dehumidifier is a necessity in the midwest. Without one it would almost be raining down here.(dehumidifier in background)15338702648071896198222.jpg
