Good Morning All,
Long time reader, first time poster.
So i'm on day 12 of flower following 6-7 weeks veg on my first every grow. It's all been good thus far with pretty much no problems, until the past couple of days when a fault in my thermostatic plug meant my heat regulation went out of the window for 2-3 days (before i noticed and fixed). It's been back up and stable for the past 3 days or so.
Basically i have noticed a bunch of leaf issues, none of which i can definitively identify and at this stage the issue seems confined to a small number of leaves.
As you will see from the images, the plants seem to be growing well and look (at least to my novice eyes) quite lush and healthy. I have LST'd a few times hence you should see relative flat and bushy plants. Sorry that the images aren't fantastic but i hope good enough for you to see!
Here's the lowdown on my setup:
1.2mx1.2mx2m grow tent
450W Vipar Spectra LED grow light
5 plants - 2 x white widow X Big bud and 1 x 8 ball kush - all in 3 gallon smart pots. They vegd for 6-7 weeks at 18/6 before i switched to 12/12. When i did i chucked in the other two seedlings (both wwxbb) which are about 21 days from germination.
Using Westlands with John Innes No.2 compost for all of it and have been potting up.
Watering every 2-3 days. Didn't really start using additional nutes until a watering or two before the switch to flower when i added Bio Bizz grow at half strength. Have done that for the past 3 or 4 waterings and was planning one more before i switch to Biobizz Bloom nutes.
Temps average 23-25C and RH in the 60s.
Grow tent is in my external garage but there's an oil heater and an electric blanket in there to keep the place toasty.
Whilst i have done a lot of reading/watching, i do consider myself to be a 'learn by doing' sort of bloke. But i've not done anything stupid or inpatient (i dont think!) so am at a point where i definitely lack the experience to identify this issue.
So far i suspect it could be a pH imbalance thing (i've yet to measure the pH at all really) but there seems to me to be evidence that there may also be some pests. I do get a lot of slugs and woodlice in my house and the garage is immediately adjacent although not seen any evidence at all in there and not sure how they would get in the tent itself!
Anyway, whatever it is i need to sort it quickly so any advice is warmly welcomed.
Cheers.
