Hey everyone trying to get some advice on taking better care of my plants.
A quick little background all but one of my plants are approximately 4 months old.. all were started from seeds. I've made many mistakes and I've lost a couple plants in the process. Hey it's a learning experience for me! Despite all this they seem relatively healthy(I could be wrong),but they could be doing better.
The problems I have had include, but are not limited to: poor soil(originally very woody). Transplanted plants into different soils(3 diff mixes actually, so I could compare). This helped a ton. Also since the beginning, I am pretty sure I have struggled mostly with overwatering, but also a little bit of underwatering. In addition, I think I probably have had nutrient deficiencies/toxicities as well as some minor heat stress and trying to dial in the height of my LED light. All could have/had root issues. Not being super diligent on pruning/topping/etc, trying to figure out what works best, etc.
Thanks for taking the time to look/advise. Onto the pics, which aren't the best because they are taken through grow room sunglasses under the led light. I can try to get better pics if it will help:
Kalish- short, slow growth, this one hasn't put on any height in months. Was considering topping, but the stems alternate, not sure how to approach pruning on this one. Burnt tips lower growth, bleached/yellowed, Tips middle growth. top leaves look healthy
Cheese - glossy look, many leaves full claw. Leave tips yellowing and browning
Jack herer - some wilting(thought she was just thirsty, but hasn't responded since I watered her) lower leaves showing general yellowing, she was just recently pruned and stretches around so maybe it's just some stress still?
MNG2 - mostly looks healthy, But the tips of many leaves aren't bent 90' straight down(N toxicity?)
Random3 - she is the youngest and seemingly the healthiest. Probably because she has had a much smoother ride then all the others. Leag tips showing slight upward curl.
All plants showing some non symmetrical curving leaf structures, which I thought was indicative of MG deficiency. So I do have calmag and have given a little bit to all the plants. Also have some Jacks? All purpose fertilizer. Have some organic dr earth tomato fertilizer that I've sprinkled a little on the top of the soil of all the girls.
Anyway any advice/input on any aspect of the grow is very welcome. Particularly interested in your opinion of the health of my plant, nutrient advice, and pruning advice
Thanks all!
