Hi,
This is my first grow and I am having some trouble. Please help!
Germinated a few seed in separate times to avoid repeting mistakes and followed the instructions of the dude that sold me the tent, equipments etc...
Germination was easy, moved the seeds to Jiffys under a fluorescent light, only water with pH at 5,5 as instructed.
For one week everything was ok.
On the second week, I started to notice some yellowing on the inner part of the first 2 leaves on some of the seddlings.
With time the issue persited and agravated, the same dude told me after I sent him the pictures that it looks like N defficiency, so I added fertilizer (half dose).
It helped but after a couple of days the yellowing started again.
I did some research and read that for cultivation in soil the ideal pH would be from 6-7 so changed it to 6.4 instead of 5.5.
I noticed some improvement but the tip of the leaves got burnt.
My speculation at this point is: pH 5.5 was too acid and was stoping the plant from getting nutrients, after ph correction nutrients became available and it was too much.
So I have now watered with only plain water with pH 6.4.
For the past 48 hours i saw no improvements but burning seems to have stopped.
I guess what I am looking for is some guidance on:
Are my assumptions correct regarding the pH?
What is missing from an ideal environment?
See some pictures attached.
Details:
-Light:
HPS 400W (1 meter distance)
-Nuts (Half a dose):
Cannazyn
Rhizotonic
Terra Vega (Canna)
-Temperature:
24 C light time
19-20 C dark
-pH:
6.4
-Vase
1L
-Watering:
every 4/5 days
