New Grower White Widow Auto Grow Journal

[dazedandconfuzed]

Going to take some closer pictures when I get home, try and get some better detail for you guys. Why would this happen to ally plants when they get to this stage though. The assassin and w widow look fantastic? The assassin especially and that is right next to the SM in the cab.

I'm sorry for my noob(ness) guys, I imagine most new growers don't get this many problems!

No worries... We was all noobies once bro...

I've just sat back and read all this and tried to process it all. I honestly think multiple issues are at play here, causing me to "chase my tail" so to speak!

I KNOW now the PH of my rainwater was too low, which I have been using from the start of germ. Like way too low, UNDER 6.0

I have not been giving the right amount of nutes at the right times.

I think maybe the ph issue has led me to falsely believe I was over watering and feeding too much. Which i have reacted to by not watering enough. Maybe. Lol. I'll see what I find later.

Thanks guys,

Peace.

Hello everyone, finally got in from work. Ran to the cab to take a peak haha.............







Looking a little better I think?
How about everyone here?

Looks like the feed has done her good, pistols have grown a little, I can tell anyway. Now I suppose the question is, N.W, do you think I should still feed again tonight? Another litre like you said? Does anyone else have an opinion? The pot feels pretty light still, not like it was (very very light-like polystyrene) but no where near like it was when I flushed.

I'm super happy though, I expected to find a dead plant when I got home tonight.

I honestly can't thank you all enough for your help and advice. Rep's coming to you all!

Peace brothers.

I'm always of the school of thought when it comes to hand watering and growing in soil or soiless pots is use Air Pots, use lots of perlite, like 30% minimum, feed little but feed often, kinda like the theory a drip system uses. A drip system continually gives drip after drip of nutrient solution, always keeping the medium moist but not over saturated.

This way the plant has enough air to the roots because of the Air Pot. As well as the 30 - 50% perlite I usually would use. (The more perlite the more air and the more frequent the watering needed.) Plus the plant is getting enough food because of the frequent watering.

I personally don't let the pots go polystyrene light. Just considerably lighter than when they've been thoroughly watered. If you pick the pot up by hand and it feels fairly light it's generally time to water again. Once they start getting big in small pots the could even need watered every day or two.

I know when I had big plants in my 11 litre square pots under a 600 Watt HPS I was feeding them every 2-3 days. In the 6 Litre air pots every 1-2 days. Glad to see you got it sorted. Keep an eye on her and if problems persist post back. Cheers man.

 

[dazedandconfuzed]

Hey HH, I wouldn't say I have it sorted as such. But I did pick the pot up and it felt light again so I watered a very small amount, just to help her out and get some food in her. I'll keep posting anyway and keep everyone updated.

Thanks again.

Look good now, in fact it looks spot on.

Well done mate, the hardest thing with this plant is the waiting. 2 days seem like a fortnight lol

Atb bro
