First time grow in spacebucket - Forum newbie

[Mayezo]

Hi all! completely new to this forum so i am still learning to navigate around it and slowly learning all the jargon so hopefully i have started in the right place!
Anyway, here is my first grow in my newly equipped space bucket. Just over two weeks in and it seemed to be going fairly well up until 3-4 days ago i noticed the bottom leave(first leaves to grow) started turning brown. Today it seems a couple more have been slowly following suit which i thought might be a nitrogen deficiency up until i seen the newly sprouts are yellow on the tip(using UFO LED so don't think its a burning problem) as well. so i assume there could be multiple problems here? I am using Canna Professional soil and only just started using Bio-Canna Vega too. This lead me to think it could be Nute burn, water/drainage problems or nitrogen deficiency.
Any help would be much appreciated as I've been heavily researching and cant really trust my own judgement yet as I'm still a NEWB to all this!
Thanks!

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. And remember anyone may have a well-known member status…but that means they have posted and responded to many threads and does not always mean well-educated growerz. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

First...is a space bucket a solo cup? Because that is all I am seeing. How long have they been in those cups? IMHO...they are in serious need of transplanting.

On second thought...I see you already said the grow is only 2 weeks in...so transplant may not be a huge issue. A little more info would be helpful...how often and how much are you watering, and what are your ph levels?

I'm betting on root bound or poor drainage. I'm thinking bk was right in his first post either way you should transplant. You don't have much room in that solo cup. They look older than two weeks,are they clones? Water drainage problems can cause root rot and being root bound will also have that effect. transplant into something bigger with more drainage.

Looks like a bit overwatered and some slight nute burn to me. Good size for 2 weeks, probably ready for a bigger pot soon.

Ph sitting at 6.3 and i have been watering it every 3 days. temps sit between 24-30 Celsius, i only noticed the discoloration after i fed it some bio vega too.
Just transplanted it with added perlite and noticed fair amount of roots around the bottom two inches of the cup.
Hoping it resolves the problem!

Update: around 40 hours since transplant and looks a lot more healthier and new growth doesn't look to be burning on the tips too
Hope this resolves the problem!

Hey guys, looks like i have been hit with a deficiency problem. I have looked through all kinds and i cant really pinpoint what it is so much help would be appreciated!
Ph is is sitting at 6 and im feeding it every 2-3 days with bio vega still.
