Bump?

You need to get yourself a 60x magnifier or something so you can get a close look for pest inspection. Also, what size pot you got that thing in? I know a lot of people don't like to transplant autos, but I'd rather transplant than suffer from root binding.

I will transplant in a few days as soon as i reach my local shop for some soil / pots. Those pests are so small? Wow.... never expected that size !

Well, you can see a good amount of them with the naked eye.. depending on what type of pest. But the magnifier just makes life so much easier, plus you'll need it for examining trichs.

Could it be anything else exept pests?
Why are those little tips crooked?

Ehhhhh, those chewed off areas look like pest damage to me. Perhaps a single, but larger insect got in and had a dinner and left. But I'd start with transplanting before worrying about the curling and discoloring because it looks like you have it in something awfully small. Root binding can make plants look awful lol

I checked the roots very few have touched the bottom and sides of the container

Like said, kind of looks as if you may have some sort of pest in your grow room that's taking off huge chunks of your fan leaves. Also, the deformity in those leaves maybe a ph issue. Whats your ph running if I may ask ?

UncleReemis · Apr 14, 2014

Seems like slow root growth. Are you aerating the soil? Perlite or vermiculite? You definitely need something for that. Your plant should probably have a root mass by now IMO.

EDIT: Yeah, they definitely should. I started mine 22 days ago and they already bound up on the first containers with a strong root mass.

It's my second pot and i have no aeration in the soil and no ph meter... Since it's my first grow

~Dankster~420 · Apr 14, 2014

Hmm.. Well, I sure know I would be getting a ph meter. I believe I seen where you said 1 was on its way. Hopefully it will arrive soon.. As in aeration in you soil. You mean you don't have any drain holes in the bottom of your containers?

Of course i do have drain holes i have plenty as a matter of fact

But i mean i have no perlite or anything else to help aerate the soil.

I just got myself a regular ak47 seed hopefully i get a female

Started germination, will make a full journal about it when it sprouts, be sure to check my sig in a week

~Dankster~420 · Apr 15, 2014

Oh ok. Yeah, those perlite & I use vermiculite work really well if the soil you decided to use doesn't have much or any at all in it. Hope it all works out 4 you.. just know if you ever need help on anything just holler.
