Alright,
So this is my second grow, ever. I am using Dr. GreenThumb's Iranian "Autoflower" seeds (not really a true autoflower just a short flowering strain.) I have my plants on a 22/2 light cycle using 4, 24w, 6500k, t-5's. I used Farmfox Ocean Forest mix to start my plants in. After they were about 2.5 weeks old, I transplanted them in Farmfox boosted with some "Rainbow Grow" (http://www.hydrogalaxy.com/nutrients-additives/rainbow-mix-grow-5-lb/?gclid=CN3pu_r7_sgCFQdafgodVuIIAA) ( I added about 6 tbs to 13 gallons of soil). My PH checks out at about 6-6.5, from what I can tell using PH strips. I water about every 5-6 days making sure not to over water. Both of my larger plants are in the exact same soil mix and have been for a week. Things have been super healthy and lush till last night one of my plants got weird on me. 11/5 I noticed faint nutrition burn on a newer node, with some abnormal leaf structure from the newest node. Didn't think much of it. 11/6 there were light green blotches showing up on the bigger fan leaves. Today, 11/7, those fan leaves with blotching were dry on the edges of the leaves and the tips are pointing up with even more blotching! The other leaves are a dark green, but acting like they may have minor nitrogen toxicity. I pulled the unhealthy and blotched leaves off, and flushed that specific plant with about a gallon of water. My best guess is Potassium Toxicity, Phosphorus Toxicity, Nitrogen imbalance, or I'm a moron and can't read a PH strip. My girlfriends are unhappy and that makes me unhappy. Please help! I'm hoping I get raised eyebrows and a "dude, why you be stressin", but I have to be safe. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll be posing the rest of my grow here in the future if you wanna watch a newbie try and grow.
Thanks folks,
Shaggy
