New Grower with several questions/issues

[AussieMeds]

Current Setup:
2*2*4 tent
Mars Hydro 300w
Coco w/ Canna A+B
29-33 degrees Celcius
70-80% rh
Tap water (ph: 7.6)


I'm growing some white widow autofem by Pyramid Seeds right now. I've got two in coco but started one in soil and transplanted during week 6. The Girls are in week 7 (45days) and the other is at the end of week 5 (35days). First off, the 7 week plant was in soil and had fungus gnats so I took it outside to let the soil dry and prevent my other plant from being infested. Noob shit. The plant actually had nitrogen issues due to bad soil so I added chicken manure and some other fertiliser for tomatoes and basically burnt her out, she had collapsed and looked pretty dead, so I chucked her into coco and some how she recovered.

I want to know why my coco plant had its leaves burnt? Was it because of too much nutrients? I was only using 1ml per gal for the first few weeks.

Coco i water everyday with nutrients.Primrilm concerns the flowering as these plants are meant to be 11 weeks from germination.

I want to know why the younger plant is so short and bushy. Some online grow diaries of these genetics are quite big by this stage. Would this be the indica pheno?
The taller plant.. what will happen to her? Sativa pheno im assuming, but at 7 weeks now and no sign of flowering I'm kinda worried.

I want to dial in this setup so I can grow some of these mephisto beans I'm getting. Need clean meds for the missus asap.
Thanks guys

Those temps are pretty high man also are you correctly ph’ing your water?

Temp is way to high,78 to 80 is better.Also your coco ph should be around 5.8 to 6 and soil should be close to 6.5.

Yes I would say pH is your biggest issue, Coco is like hydro and I booked to stay around 5.6? Next would be your nutrients, with autos I always start feeding at 1/4 the suggested dose and move up as needed.

Thank you for these replies, really good to have some insight from you guys!!

I had a skylight above the tent which I covered a day ago, hopefully they sub 30 consistently. I have pH up and pH down but the ebay ph test kit broke on me so im waiting for litmus strips in the mail.

In regards to temps, I'm in Australian summer and have the tent in a garage. I'm quite limited in my accessibility and really lucky to have the tent at all. Not sure how to get the temps lower. Ambient temp outside is 26 celcius, maybe I should draw air in instead of out?

Also one more question, can i start an autofem in her final home?

Yes you can start an auto in her final home also I’m not so sure how the strips are, however general hydroponics makes ph test drops and they work really good..

I'm looking at the Flairform kit, its muchr cheaper to buy within australia, would that work?

Also, how do you water a plant like that, I assume not until run off.

Autos hate full nutes at first.. I would start with 1/4 of the recommended dose and work your way up to 1/2 and so on, a little bit of runoff is ok.. are you growing in soil or coco?

The flairform kit should work just fine..

Started off in really crappy soil but use coco now
