beginner help

[ChalkSticks]

I started 3 plants at the same time, all same soil (pro grow medium) 2 are beautiful, strong and green, but the 3rd has turned yellow green (whole plant) and has become more limp. I use the General Organics go box, just this one plant is struggling. Temp varies between 73w79 and humidity varies between 50 and 60. WI'll try to post a picture later

EDIT: Jus started Week 2

Try to match the leaf to the deficiency.

 

[ChalkSticks]

Could be sulfur or nitrogen, but it looks more droopy so would it be sulfur?

 

[thecuch]

Is this a soil grow? how often have you been watering?
Are you letting the soil completely dry out before watering again?

 

[thecuch]

sulfur problems are un-common...not sayin it doesnt happen.
But droopy...is usually over or under watering.
Also...are you checking the ph of your water and runoff?

 

[ChalkSticks]

I water once the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Same as other 2 but other 2 are growing beautifully

 

[thecuch]

Even though they might be the same strain...all plants are different.
If the pot feels light...and the top 2" is dry...i would water it or foliar spray.
Maybe with a few drops of calmag or bioweed.

Hey Chalk'- I'll need some pics before making a diagnosis, mate,... that description could fit a few different things; the nute's and soil (Botanicare, or ProMix?) are good choices.. are you feeding as per label instructions? Keep in mind, that schedule is for photo' plants, not auto's... and auto's are more touchy about their nutrient concentrations.... What strain are they? --this is also a mitigating factor with nute's,... Hmmm, at 2 weeks, a deficiency is unlikely, unless you are in a soil that's very mild (or coco),... or there's a bad pH problem, causing a lockout.... Anyway, get me some pics, whole plant and leaf close-up's, plzzz....

Sorry for delayed reply, this is a few days old, since then I have transplanted to bigger pot, seems to have helped a little. This particular plant is a photo, my auto right now is doing great.

Hi Chalk, welcome to AFN glad to have you here. It looks like your little lady is over watered. I would wait unitl the pot feels really light then water again. As someone stated above Deficenices at this stage are pretty rare as the soil has some nutrients in it already. So the next thing to look at is a pH problem or over or under watering. Also since it is a different strain than the ones that are groing great, the requirements are going to be different. What is your soil pH? I would check that and make sure your pH is right and try letting it dry out a bit. The only other thing that I think it could be is that it needs more Nitrogen(while nute defiencies are uncommon at this stage they can still happen) you may have a strain that is hungry and may require more nutes now than is in the soil.

I would be very careful though feeding while the plant is this small, if letting it dry out doesn't seem to perk her back up then I would try feeding her a little more than you have been or if you havent started feeding this may be the time. I would start out with 1/8th strength of what the manufactures reccomend due to how young the plant is. I hope this helps and I am sending major grow Karma your way! If you have any other questions you can send me a PM any time
