Help needed for the new guy

[Slimsham]

Hey guys, first and for most I would like to thank you for letting me into this group-network. I have done my fair share of searching and find myself in this place quite often. This is my first auto grow, three blueberry's and 2 gold leafs from ilgm, not the happieat with the seeds as only half germ. Wet paper towel on top of my microwave...not sure if that's the best, but I know the BEST will " learn" me.

Miracle grow potting soil.
Led full spectrum, total of 100 watts, scary but what I could afford now.
pH is about 6.5 at run off.
Nutes. Miracle grow bloom, just three feedings, stop that when I noticed my bigger of the three starting to get canoe leaves and light green edges. Wanna start tiger bloom. Flush then feed eveyother day.day going to put the pics up so you guys can see. My gals are 46 days old, blueberry is 25 days into flowering, gold.leaf just sprouted it's first hair last night, so there 46 days old and flowering at 45. I let everything go natural as in trimming topping. I did train some leaves put of the way and because the one gold.leaf was a slow grower I started a half ass scrog wich lead to one short bushy plant with 14 even branches.
Ok first pic, untouched gold.leaf, second pic, Scrooged gold.leaf, third.pic tallest bluebwrry, but this is the sick one, if you notice on top the leaves are conoeing, and getting light green edges, fourth is smallest blue and fifth is my furthest along blue, comments on what I'm doing right or wrong guys thanks a bunch. Getting nervous as this is my first real grow, time, time and more time

Everything looks good from here bro, aside from crappy soil and miracle grow nutes you're on the right track. But weve all been broke and ran sub par equipment. I would suggest better lights and a different soil, if you plan to use nutrients try giving soil less mediums a try. Not bad for what I see though man. Rep slap for sure

 

[Slimsham]

Awesome Free, would you happen to know what the canoeing of leaves would be? Aat ony three feedings with the crappy stuff I would think I wasnt over feeding? But then again the same plant, the lower leaves are darker then heck.so some looks like to me that nitrogen and the new stuff looks like not wenoug...hmmm...? Man you don't know how happy that makes me, to hear that from someone like you guys, well I guess if I can do it with the crappy stuff I should do alright with the good, my buddy was suppose to help me out with a cfls bt it fell through, I run a farm so money comes and goes. I pondered joining for a few days, didn't know what to expect.

Looks like you have enough nutes, but miracle grow is not the most complete or precise thing to use. Especially during flowering. I'm thrilled to hear you are aware of how to test for pH, it is the hardest thing to get some people to take seriously until they lose a plant or two. Canoe leaves is due to temperature. It could be either from the lights or from lack of air flow or if the lights are too close; even low watt bulbs can cause that. Best to keep them up a bit and increase the coverage than be too close. Overall, they look great for the equipment and materials you have.

Rev green, I was also wondering about the heat but since theigjt don't emit very much at all I was so sceptical. I'm gonna give that a try my whole rig is on a bar which also can be adjusted if the lights cant be moved anymore up. I had the stretching problem and as nervous, by as a few guys have mentioned, these little guys can hold their own, this is a reason why they grow the way they grow. This is cool as heck talking with some great fellas who are sitting back like I gotta you lil buddy calm down...hahaha..sorry I likey humor. I used my first low dose of tigr farm last nigjt, after three days of flushing, ( oh and the light thing, I was waiting for a tester to test the light - how far away they can be, b it something must have happened in the mail cuz I got.money returned. I'm just gonna stop at home Depot and see what they got. Is there a place where I should better introduce myself on here, I don't want this to be oh look another sick guy who just wants us to get him better then never hear from him again

https://www.autoflower.org/forums/live-introductions.35/ Like the other guys said Miricle Gro isn't the best for weed but yous look ok.Just don't over feed.We all started out with what we could afford so not to worry,any questions feel free to ask.

 

[Slimsham]

Namvet, yeah I will deffdefini do that for sure, you guys have been a great help already, like I said in one reply , of I can grow with the crappy stuff, I can't wait to try the good stuff, free suggested that I yet soil less medium, what are some good choices out there?

Coco. but for a noob, I would perfect soil grows first. Once you get all set up with the kit you want. Then try a different medium imo.

Welcome to AFN and best of luck with your grow! You’ve already had some really knowledgeable growers replying to your post. They’ve helped me a lot and you can count on their advice. I started with ILGM seeds and still have some growing. I had plenty of germination issues with their White Widow autos. Their Amnesia Haze autos were 100% germination, though. While they’ve sent some replacement seeds, I won’t be ordering from them again. Folks on here can steer you towards some far better genetics that have less issues. After their advice I’m sticking with the top genetics because it’s a lot “cheaper” to have all or most of your beans pop and grow well than getting a big batch of mediocre seeds that don’t all germ and produce all sorts of phenos.

Again. Welcome!

Dtom, yeah I'm deff gonna keep quite and listen and try what these guys say and offer, it's so cool to be able to talk about this stuff with experience involved. Rollin sugeateds that I perfect my soil grows before moving to soil less. Which is prob a smart.move considering, we supply all nutes for soil less I do believe. I got some more pics I wanna throw up tonight and get some input on the flowers?!?! Again you guys are great, and thanks so very stinky, sticky much,...Great atmosphere
