Doc I need you help. Heres my grow they are 1 week old now after transplant, most of them look good but some of them are sickly! im really worried about 3-4 of them. The first week i watered 4 times and fed them only one of those times, at a mild 300ppm mix. The pH has been a steady 6.2 and the light approx 24 inches from them (1000w metal halide). Can you identify the problem thats causing this leaf detereoration? lemme know
Photos: One plant is healthy and the others are affected with some maladay. About 85% of the crop looks good though.
Could be a couple of thing----1. General Blight---You could try the doc's blight dip recipe and see if that takes care of it. 2. Looks more along the lines of a recessive genetic leaf deformation(sometimes crosses and unstable hybrids show leaf deformation like this) and will show up on a very small percentage of plants grow from the same seeds. All the other plants look healthy so that would be my observation.
DOC'S BLIGHT DIP RECECIPY(also good for transplanting)-
4 gallons clean low ppm water
26ml H2O2
4 teaspoons NEEM
4 drops super-thrive
8 drops liquid ivory soap
mix all ingredients well in 5 gallon bucket and PH to 6.3. Then take plant out of container(pot) and dip entire plant, root ball and all in solution. Have a clean pot the same size ready or wait to dip plant until you have washed inside of pot well and dip pot into bucket as well---put plant back into pot and under normal lighting---If it's general blight the plant will respond back to normal vegetative growth in 3 day to a week.
note: Hold the root ball with open fingers and slide the whole plant in and out of the dip--The dip time should be close to 2 secs and not much more or the root ball will start to break up.
Doc, when you post the pics of your girls....if you don't mind, post a pic of your light setup. You say your using a 40w, I would like to compare it to my setup so I can improve mine.
Thanks bro
Your is probably great or even better than mine but I am trying to do this class for new growers and at the lowest energy cost possible. Will post the pics as I said within hours
WIll you tell which nutes you used and how much and your ppm?
Yes I will
They look great. So what do you think of the germination method? Have you found it to be easy? How about fast?
i found it to be the easiest way and by far the fastest way i have done it .
when i first started i just placed the seed in the dirt and it took so long for it to pop up. i could have had a lot bigger plant in the same amount of time had i known then what i know now. i also feel the same way about the light i have now the growth is just that much better from when i had them under the cfls.but that's just my Hubble opinion
Nice thanks for the info.
why u ignore my question doc
Not on purpose---Just plain missed it somehow--the question was close to another post so I thought I had answered it. Above--sorry.
-- You have now made it through the germination and seedling phase of growth. We are now going to Feed for the first time in the next couple of posts. Great job guys!!!
----lets see your work.
