NEED HELP !!

[Cel1220]

I started my first grow, 4th week and problems arise...Im using Fox Farm soil, no nutes yet, just water.Small plant showing brown yellowish spots on leaves and the bigger, bottom leaves turning yellow.. Please advise any recommendations. Thank u.

root lock...transplant now...

I also suggest adding 30% perlite and only doing 1 transplant so put her in the pot you want her to finish in, that is if you decide to transplant.

All of these are just what I would do...make your own choices.

Good Luck and Great Growz!

oops 1 last thing...FFOF will have more than enough nutes to go 3-4 weeks after transplant without feeding. However, I usually start with 1/4 dose about 2 weeks in. Of course, I use FFHF with 30% perlite and FFOF is a bit 'hotter' than FFHF.

Thank u sooo much $bkbb.. I am certainly taking all of your advice right away!!

one yellow leaf?!?! not a big deal really. FF lacks cal/mag it needs to be supplemented in. That plant will not produce much, not even worth the electric bill imho.

If the posted pics are the same plant ^^^agreed. But if the one in the solo cup were to be transplanted as it sorely needs to be...it could so be totally worth it to cultivate it. imho

How far away are your lights? The bigger plant looks like it is stretching bad.

 

[GroJo!]

How many plants and how big is your tent?

Well, if not someone has used a taffy pulling machine on it...LOL!

It might just be a cfl grow and the plants getting insufficient light. I second that theyre due for a transplant, not really over due, but its time. I also second, one yellow leaf isnt such a big deal. From what i see the grower isnt using his tent space nearly enough. It may be because hes only bumpin cfls, and not enough of them, but that horizontal space really needs to get used in a tent scenario. Toss a 400 cool tube in there and scrog those bitches out.

 

[$bkbbudz$]

Well, IMHO a plant that has been in what looks like a 1/2 full 12 oz solo cup for 4 weeks.is very much overdue and is likely being strangled by it's own roots.

I agree!

Cummon BK, this isnt thaaat bad. I usually wait until the plant is as big as the container, which it is. But i dont think its choking itself out quite yet.

 

[$bkbbudz$]

Geeze...if he only had a PPM meter.

 

[Enigmatic Ways]

Bk is most likely right, she is ready for transplant immediately...I had this exact problem a couple of grows ago and I thought ok I've only been in solo cups for a couple of weeks so it couldn't be root bound right, low and behold it was...I transplanted and shit went right back to normal.

 

[TF Leary]

.....Actually, from what I see...its only half a solo cup. Move her out of there!!! And, that big long plant would be SO PRETTY with TWO tops rather than one, where that huge stretch is....maybe next time!! still looking pretty good though...keep it up!!!

A blue lab. The one with the good warrantee.

Bro this plant has way more problems than just cup size. The first set of leaves, the first blade that came out is deformed as hell. Then it looks like the whole plant fell outta the ugly tree and broke every branch with its face on the way down. Just kiddin, its not that bad. But its probably not your only plant either. I gaurentee thats not your best looking one and I bet her sisters looked better than she did cause she got a rough start by the look of her.
Have you guys ever tried taking youngins from packed under the floros and tossing them straight under a MH or hps? Cause when i do it, they look like new plants in three days, even in the same container.
If we were all sitting around a table id bet 20 bucks (to everyone here whos says rootbound) that hes not root bound. And youll see if he pulls that plant outta that cup and snaps a picture. My last run i bought some plants that were two feet high in cups. They were root bound. The roots had brown on them at the bottom of the cup. And they still took right off after a transplant and some hid lighting. I agree its time to transplant, but i just cant see that little thing being rootbound, or choking, unless you guys have a different definition of rootbound than me. To me a couple roots circling the cup doesnt qualify as rootbound....


Pssst..hey OP, show us your roots

Lol yea she was fucked up...I start all my plants under MH...If I could I'd take that bet, like Alien said op show us those roots if possible...To me this is root bound.
