New Grower Cant figure out where i went wrong

[WISHINGONABUD]

Can somebody please help me out!!!!!
I don't know but, I think I am doing something wrong here one of my plants is an auto first leaf showed on the 26 of March which means she is 6 weeks old and she is yet to go into flower. My other plant I have is non auto not in flower either because I wanted her to get taller. But both plants I have pretty much had to lollipop because the lower leaves keep turning yellow and dying off. I do have red stems a little, at first my oldest plant was doing that but I tossed it when I found out it was a boy. I am using general hydroponics flora series, I have nitrogen I bought 7 days ago and some cal-mag, and some super-thrive. I have looked up all types of reasons for my plants to be acting this way and I don't think it is nitrogen deficient because the plants were turning pale, then yellow stopped growing and the non auto had a few spots. I need help this just starting happening about a week ago I think with my auto. Isn't she suppose to be in flower by now?

what are you growing in? it looks almost pure perlite.

 

[WISHINGONABUD]

I have peat moss in there tojust some extra perlite on the top

Flip the lights to 12/12 and see if it autos.. I would say they have been lolly popped to early on the bro Not sure why the yellowing up like that perhaps the PH is out of swing?

It looks like a nit deficiancy to me.I would give them a veg nute with higher nit content with phos and pottasium.It looks like you have to much perlite in your mix and not enough organic material for the roots to have a place to absorb nutes and grow into a nice root ball.I would transplant them into some fresh soil with not as much perlite and then feed them the nutes.That auto should have flowered long ago, so I would go 12/12 as long as you have a photo anyay and see if that sets her into flower.

Do you have a good handle on the pH? Don't forget to check the pH of your runoff...it will let you know what's going on in the soil. Improper pH levels can cause all kinds of problems...including nutrient deficiencies even when there's plenty of food in the solution. Read a bit about "nutrient lockout" if you're not familiar with the term. If pH of both feed and runoff is OK, then they probably are asking for more food. I'm hoping you get those girls dialed in!

She looks water-logged. Water strangled roots. With all that peralite,the pot may be staying waaayyy too wet, way too long near the bottom.Also, red / purple stems (almost the color of eggplant) is NOT a good thing. Often indicate an imbalance or non uptake of very specific micro nute. Mostly Zn (zinc), Fe (iron) & Mn (maNganese). These are micro nutes absolutely necessary for healthy plant development. Treat with a chelated feeding of these micros. All 3 of these are found in 0.10% & 0.05% doses in the "crystal" nutes "Open Sesame", "Beasty Bloomz" & "Cha Ching". Soil soak feed AND foliar spray. I have been going thru this very thing for 18 weeks now with a Rasberry Kush I adopted whose stems and branches WERE purple. And after weeks of slow, steady treatment with my rescue soup, she's coming down tomorrow and is a spectacular looker & yielder now. Posted some pics of her the other day. Good luck with it...keep us in the loop. Puff, puff, pass

thanks for all the comments,
I have leached her last a few days ago after this post and let them sit for a while. I just gave them some nutes and some extra nitrogen and cal mag. I only have a little extra perlite at the top, I do see what some of you are saying though with the bottom. I am going to transfer them in bigger pots in about a week but have to find the right ones first. again thanks I will post what they look like by the 24th and see if you all think they got better or worst. Can you tell me the name of some good soil to use for next go round. I wanna stick with the same soil I have until next grow.
