Hi, my plants are 1 week old now and although they're growing quick Iv noticed they don't look so healthy. The leaves are turning in on the edge and the new leaves in the middle are starting to yellow a bit. Have a look and see what you think. The pics are both of the same plant, the other one isn't as big but is looking the same. I'm using coco/perlite mix (80/20). The last 2 waterings Iv included root complex and TNT, been adding cal/mag since they sprouted a week ago and the water is ph'd to 5.6. Any help would be much appreciated :stylez rasta smoke:
Oh ye, I'm using the Hesi coco line of nutes
Only a week old and already you have added root complex, TNT, and cal/mag?
AFN guidelines strongly suggest you don't feed them anything but water for their first two weeks.
For Heaven's sake, don't add anything else for the next couple of weeks. Just water them and make sure they get plenty of light (20/4).
These plants will grow in sand and water...cotton balls & water...even horseshit & water...They don't need added nutrients to live or thrive. We only give them nutrients to boost production.
Giving them "stuff" when they are less than 2 weeks old is like trying to raise them as junkies.
I certainly understand the temptation...and I have learned the perils from giving into that temptation.
The fewer added nutrients, the better. Some is okay---but not too much. If you want more buds, grow more plants or get a bigger light like a 1000 watter.
In the meantime, these plants should end up okay if you stick to just water for the next couple of weeks. And then, when you're ready to feed them nutes, make sure you give them 1/2 the recommended dose.
