Hey guys, I'm still on my very first grow and I feel like I'm losing her!!! I have 2 WW autos in a 2x4 grow cabinet using LEDs. 18/6. One of the 2 autos seems to be struggling. She has completely turned a lighter green color while the other is still a darker green. Both planted the same time and on the same watering/feeding schedule. Please help guys!! They are both flowering. I'd say I only have a few weeks left before I'm supposed to harvest em. Anything helps!

Overall yellowing of leaves followed by them dropping off or dying and crisping up, starting at the bottom and working its way up the plant is nitrogen deficiency. Also makes the rest of the plant light colored. Be careful not to feed too much they dont need much in flower

I've read a lot today about what's going on with her. Nitrogen deficiency did come up more often for sure. Thank you for your help! How much nitrogen to u recommend and brand? I'm using emerald harvest nutes.

Never heard of emerald harvest nutes. Honestly most nutrient lines work if you know how and when to use them. Whats the npk ratio of your grow feed? Id use foxfarm grow big which is 6-4-4 at one teaspoon per gallon and see how it responds. Dont make it regular.

And dont give it to the green one unless it starts showing signs and if it does give it a lower dose. Id only give 1 tsp per gallon cause its really almost out of n

Like I said earlier in super new to growing lol. What got me started was finding a seed in a nug, so I threw it in a wet paper towel and the magic happened haha. I also have that one in the cabinet going. Its much shorter and bushier. Sex still unknown, at least to my eye. Any way my friend told me about autos and how fast they can produce nugs, so I figured I'd try. They shot right past the photo plant. So, the NPK im assuming is the 3 numbers on the bottles. Micro is 5-0-1 Grow is 2-1-6. Bloom is 0-5-4 and Cal mag is 2-0-0. When I started the nutes I didn't give the full recommended dose, because from what I found on-line everyone says to ease em in. I'm supposed to give nutes in about a half hour. Should I find some nitrogen locally and add it to the nutes? I don't have a ph meter to test the water, I use the drops which I know isn't completely accurate... But it says it should be about a 6.5.

Thats funny i have a bottle of humboldt nutrients grow thats 2-1-6. Weird your micro has more nitrogen then your grow.. But whatever. Id give it a tsp per gallon of the micro if you havent in a while. The micronutrients wont hurt and it should have plenty of n

You shouldnt need cal mag unless you have a problem with your water. Using tap water should have plenty of ca and mg. you dont want softened water. You usually only need cal mag if your using ro or distilled. Doesnt hurt to have around though

I've heard mixed reviews about well water.... That's what I've been using.

Heyyy! Thats what im using. Had plenty of great grows in soil with well water. Just make sure your soil ph doesnt get higher than 6.8 or lower than 6.2 and youll be ok

Would this work? Only place that's open near me is Lowe's. I can't find much

I know about mixing that with soil before planting but idk how quick that would take effect being put on top of the soil. Probably not the best approach in this case

I do have fox farm at home but its big bloom. I see miracle grow liquid feed but I heard to never use MG

Its best to avoid it if you can but what gets the bad rep is the slow release nutes that dont let your plants flush at the end and burn some plants

Ive mixed some mg potting soil with my ocean forest before out of curiosity. Came out with just the right mix so my plants barely needed anything and finished perfect
