Hello,
I've been working on a new-grow and have screwed up in typical first-timer fashion regarding nutes.
Attached is my grow log (short) and a picture of what it looks like right now.
[Asterix] & [Obelix] refer to the plants
July:
04th
Both plants have continued to sprout. A and O equal in vigor, approximately
1.75" tall as of writing.
05th
after placing a fan on Asterix to enhance strength, the plant leaves folded
upwards. Because Obelix is fine, I likened it to speedy prespiration, not
a magnesium deficency (another cause of folded leaves). removed fan and
watered both plants with tap water as usual.
06th
Asterix seemingly unfolding once more. aggressive root growth on A. Obelix
appears healthy as ever. thinking about when to inplement nutes.
07th
A is still folded up a bit. Performed a soil test with water I normally use.
if either my water or soil is bad the test will show acidic (water would likely be
acidic not basic)... pH was slightly below 7, as recommended. provided 3 drops
of Shultz nutes in 500mL spraybottle.
08th
Both A and O have started to fold up. This is undoubtedly due to a Mg
deficency (hard-ish water binds Mg to Ca). Applied Epsom Salts treatment to
both plants to provide adequate magnesium for growth.
09th
did not apply enough Epson salts (Mg). Half-boiled 100 ml of water, mixed
50 mL of cold water and a pinkie-fingertip of epsom salts (no measuring tool)
doused plants in entire solution, hopefully will rectify problem.
I would be so grateful for some more experienced advice right now :c My guess is I've managed to screw up potassium and magnesium. It was also a little too close to my CFL's for the outdoors heat, which I've rectified.
My current course of action is to water without any nutes and hope nothing gets worse.
