Red Poison problem - P or Iron? Pics inside.

[CombatLobster]

Hi! New here, looks like a great forum! I've got a couple of Red Poison seeds on the go, just battled through an over-watering problem and now this has popped up.

I've looked at the deficiency pics thread and wondered what peoples opinions on this problem are. As a new grower I just wanted a bit of guidance before I diagnose the wrong problem and potentially make it worse!

The plants haven't been fed yet so if it's too much of something then it's a case of the soil being too hot. Plants are given PH'd rain water. Any help greatly recieved! :Cool:

welcome to our forum.Your girls are to young to have defiecencies What is your ph?,and what type of soil are you using?

 

[CombatLobster]

Thanks for the reply! The soil is a generic soil from a garden centre with John Innes 2. PH has always been between 6.2 and 6.5. I've had LOADS of new growth today, all of it pale - They don't seem to be slowing at all. I'm tempted to try getting them out of the pots and in to some different soil to see if that has an effect whilst they're still small.

What kind of lighting are you using?

They've had a 30w CFL over each one as they were still tiny, I was waiting for them to recover a bit before putting them under the 250w CFL - The over-watering slowed them massively, they're around 3 weeks old now and have only really started taking off in the last few days. They now look like this... I'm wondering if it's just a byproduct of the over-watering?

Give them a very light feeding of veg nutes, and see if they green up.They should be a lot bigger at three weeks so I don't know if it's your soil or what.Check your PH and makesure its around 6.5.

i see some sativa dom plants that look this way throuout the entire veg stage no matter how long i veg them for , they dont loose this trait until i switch them to flowering , all new growth is yellow and takes quite some time to green up , but its not a deficiency yellow

not sure if this is the case with your plants or not , just thought id mention this , try getting some closer pics , but not too close as to blur them

peace :Cool:

EDIT : just looked at your second set of pics and they do appear to green up at the older growth , exactly the way i was thinking
