Seedlings - leaves turning purple/brown

BCbud316 · Feb 2, 2018

Coming into week 4 of this grow and I get the feeling it might be over before it begins.

Seedsman Amnesia Auto's growing in cheap soil with some perlite mixed in under 300w blurple lights

Haven't fed the plants as yet and having been watering once a week

Should I flush? Should I ditch them?

Cheap soil? Common problem is cheap soil and seedlings! That soil has too much strength dude, re plant into softer seedling soil. The slow release nutes are killing it. Bio bizz light mix is a good choice or something similar.

I have to agree with @Tiffj about the soil. It's showing signs of being in soil with slow release nutrients. Get some good soil, making sure it doesn't have nutes mixed in already, and transplant that little girl.

That’s the one Blake! Also what are your temps like? If they are on the cool side then that will explain the purplish leaf!

you're kidding right?
cheap soil(dont give a damn?)
300 watt blurple lights(good luck)
water when dry.
wtf would a flush do?
ditch a living marijuana plant=dont give a fuck

when you care enough to grow, care enough to know,
read a book, start with good soil, quality nutrients, good watering habits.
your plants could be fine, super fine, with some love.

cheap soil(dont give a damn?)
This is the soil I used to rescue my first grow, I thought it was ok (advertised as being for seedlings) - you live and learn

300 watt blurple lights(good luck)
I live in one of the driest and hottest cities on the planet that is also 1000's of miles from any other capital city, I'm extremely limited in what equipment I have access to.

water when dry.
All the guides I've read have said not to over water

wtf would a flush do?
Flush excess nutrients and get a more neutral soil

ditch a living marijuana plant=dont give a fuck
The plants are auto's and at week 4 are tiny and showing ill health and their timelines say they are about to flower, these things are supposedly 55 days away from harvest. If more experienced growers give the advice that a new grow with a better setup would have better results then maybe I shouldn't waste time on this grow.

To even consider I don't care is a horrible thing to say!

This afternoon I made a passive (soon to be active) 5L DWC with expanded clay and some seasol to the water and transplanted one of the plants - will see how it responds and will transfer the other 2.

no doubt, we all do what we can. I used a cheap ufo in a cardboard closet with a bubbling lowes bucket.
I expected issues, and yes sir, had them like crazy, just not surprised. I had reasons for going cheap too.
when you want better results it has to include better input. not insulting at all, well sorry bout the dont care bit, I knew you cared.
I wanted to say dont be surprised-cheap in = cheap out is all.
you need better soil, watering/feeding habits, better light and tighter environmental controls soon. the plant can survive and thrive with those. no offense intended
