Hello guys. Im a first time grower. I really need help. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong? My little lady is only a month and 2 weeks old on 24hr light in veg state. The inner new leaves look ok to me but all of the old growth looks like problems to me. Someone please shed some light for the novice

Your plant looks very small for the age. Mine are almost 14 inches tall and only 20 days old. Your soil looks like its Miracle Grow, and you have a bunch of deficiencies going on. Your plant already ate its bottom leaf dead from starvation. Do much more reading before you jump into growing your first plant.

I honestly would say scrap that plant, do more reading, and restart. Wasting energy for a crappy yield if you're gonna just hope for the best regarding your end result. You have to have a step by step process for the entire life cycle.

i thought that wouldve been best but other told me to see what the plant could do. i just recently transplanted it because it was in a smaller red flower pot, and also burried about 2 inches of stem. and the dirt is from miracle grow. Its natures care organic potting mix. also with miracle all purpose shake n feed w/12-4-8. i just doubled the dosage. i think i should scrap it and start over though and take this on with more knowledge.

Looks like Mag def. What medium are you using, what are you feeding with, how often, what are your temps, what kind of lights?

natures care organic potting mix,miracle grow shake n feed 12-4-8 but i doubled the dosage,ive only put the nutes in the dirt before the first transplant. i havent fed them again.the temp stays in the good range but fan was taken off of the plant and temp has been 86 a most but usually between 74 and 80 with a fan blowing, i have cfls 23 watt 5k

I can't see the pic but id say flush that girl out and don't over water? .......id try to get some stronger lights if possible? I'm a newb myself and I had my lil lady turn all droopy and sad looking after I got way baked and misread my nutes. I was feeding her6x the amount of organic earth juice and doing it twice as often as I should......i flushed the shit out of her and got a smart pot.....now she's going hard like an Amazon jungle. ....like I said I'm new to indoor so take anything I say for face value......

Well I can't see the pick but I'd say burnt up with the ferts you added. You know cause you doubled up on it.
I had read that a good ratio would be 20-20-20 which was why i figured i should double the nutes oh 12-4-8. But ive already taken k00ms advice and scrapped it only because it had only grown to be 6 inches after a whole month

Imo you should start your next grow in fox farm ocean forest. Its $12 a bag here in cali and is a great soil for beginners. You don't have to feed anything to it for the first 2-4 weeks depending on what your using for a light and how fast she's growing. It has a great mix of nutrients built into the soil.

2-2-2 is the same as 20-20-20. Its all about ratios. Just try growing one with out nutes for the first month.

Ive noticed alot of people saying only good things about fox farm ocean forest. And pretty much anything with miracle grow to be bad. I was already considering fox farms ocean. But now im decided. Do you have a suggestion for nutes when growing in veg state?

I use botanicare. I have tried pretty much everything over the years and have settled on botanicare. Its mostly organic so its a lot easier to work with and not overfeed/burn compared to some of the other lines. It also gets some killler results once you have it dialed in. I use the pure blend line

I can't see a pic, but if it's magnesium deficiency, then you can add 1/2 tsp of epsom salt per gallon to correct deficiency. You can also foliar spray it. If you are growing organically add 2 tbsp of dolomite lime per gallon of soil. Dolomite lime will help to lower the pH to where it needs to be.
Post a pic though, why would you start a thread with no pic?
