Somethings wrong...

Hello all, Before I start, I wanna say I enjoy the site, theres alot of usefull information on here. While I do not grow much I have some close friends who do. Which leads me to my question. But first I wanna state the temps and such.
Temps-79-85 f (lowest being at night highest only about 1-2hr through the day) humidity stays in the low 50's. She (hopefully) was born on 07/03/11 27 days today. Started on 12/12 5 days ago.
Lights-(2) 42 watt cfl (2700 lumens and light temp) and (2) 23 watt cfl (1100 lumens and 6500 light temp).
Water- ph @6.5 may be off due to testing with pool tester. Soil ph?
Soil-MG (I know how some feel about this) organic choice mixed with a no name potting soil (perlite is more abundant in no name soil thats why he chose it)
Everything seemed to be doing fine Until I noticed a small splotch on one of the leaves yesterday. And this morning I went over to see how things were going and said leaves appear to be drooping and have started to yellow. My thoughts from reading and navigating through the site were N and P. So what does anyone else think. Im all eyes, and my boy is freaking out, lol Waiting for pics to upload will post soon as they finish.

she just looks a little stressed from over watering. let her actually dry out a little bit before watering again... she may end up needing a lite feeding, but try backing off of the water just lil

Thanks for the speedy reply. We just watered this morning (4oz). Soil was dry just before lights off lastnight. And I had just noticed the problem as well, so I thought in my little brain that it must be time, and We decided to water at lights on, and as you can imagine its worse. The cup was super light and I did a finger and tooth pick test. It is also only the 3rd watering in 27 days. Do you think 4oz of water is too much? Iv'e tried to be really cautious on how much and often, to avoid this common problem. Also when you say feeding, is there a way I could feed w/o watering?

Repot sounds good, i was thinking the time might be soon, before this problem started, I'll do that on next water and add some nutes as well. I was also looking around as usual, found some interesting threads, and Im kinda leaning to lack of n-p-k. Thanks everyone for the help ill post back in a bit to let you know what happens.

cell 029.jpgcell 027.jpgcell 028.jpgcell 030.jpgUpdate did the repot as suggested Thanks king. Its been 13 days since my original post, what do you think? I also added nutes MG (I know I know). This is my first real grow indoors. I want to get this down before buying good beans and nutes. She is officially 40 days old and it will be 21 days in 12/12 on monday. I veg. for a short period 19 days and have attempted lst trying to keep short. I feel as though my lst technique sucks ass, lol. I can post more pics if needed. When will I start seeing buds?

Yer man really looking good now, temps etc all look good, few small issues and deficiencies but just small tweaks at this point.

I never seen an MG fert suitable for marijuana but hey thats just in my local shops, they might have one, seen a few issues with MG nutes as time goes on but whatever your doing most of it is right. Lst looks wicked, nice thick trunk and branches.

Bet youve learnt a lot getting to this stage. Peace

@King that really means alot, thanks. I try and not be bothersome with posts and questions, and usually just lurk in the forums searching for ideas opinions etc.Im using MG tomato food 18-18-21. I do however plan on getting something better for next weeks watering seeing that the investment will help in fininshing this and grows to come. Also when I fed last I used a drop of superthrive. I have read just as many post saying not to use it, as i have saying they use it all the way through. The first research I did it seemed like an affordable and useful addition. Then when I got it in the mail, I researched about using during flowering, and said f%^k it. I only plan to use it that one time. Im really anxious how this will turn out, as well as my next grow.

I never used superthrive so have no idea, it is damn popular though, even legendary. Tomato ferts always seem to have added extra cal/mag so not a bad choice. All ferts are good for certain situations and plants, tomato ferts are ok for weed as far as i can see, NPK always seems even so no big deal.

I never bash MG, they have their applications and many prefer it, just there are so many great weed specific ferts for the veg and flowering as well as supplements and additives such as cal/mag and added trace elements.

I find it best to learn every nutrient and make sure you are covered for each particular soil and plant phase, not easy but you will learn your particular range of ferts over a grow or two. Things often seem complicated at first but guarenteed it is the simple things which trip you up. I read and believed everything when i first started, damn reading too much can be bad for your plants!lol!

Plants look good dude, when i look back at the day i choose to go totally organic it was a sweet choice now but cost me many plants learning. Biobizz seemed unworkable at first but now i think it is the best thing since sliced bread, stakes are a lot higher than when i was just doing it for a laugh. Seriously the bug takes you!

Anyway im waffling and rightly so as i'm stoned of my good ole bud!lol! Dont be a stranger dude, this place is just like life, you got the good and the bad but being friendly and good talk takes you far. Sh!t i'm mega stoned! Damn!lol! Yer man i started out just reading threads then they pull you in and you wana be part of it. Dont worry if your just learning or total pro, all input is valid, there are forums and threads for everyone, i like a lot of the fert threads and organic threads, good info there.

Your NPK ratio seems ok, obviously they will probably be synthetic chemicals ferts, best way to learn on chemical fertilizers, they generally contain a lot of cal/mag and most other things, organics is a tricky thing to get right.

Anyway keep this thread going with updates in the future and thanks for getting back to us all. Peace

@king thanks again. So what were you referring to when you said "tweaks" in your post before last? Also do you think its wise to prune at all? I know people are torn between the two, to prune or not to prune, lol. Should I post in another area with a couple of pics to get more info from others? Have you alsways grown organic? If not when you used chemical ferts, what was your go to fert? i plan on ordering soon for my next watering, I might just water next time around and feed with water after that one. Got to go to work now ill be back in about 6 hrs.

Post a thread for the answers you need, plant looks good i would not change anything until problems arise and chemical ferts are much better for beginners. Nothing really wrong with your plant, maybe consider flowering it soon, if not maybe try a small prune, lst rarely needs pruning if you keep em short, i would just let it grow as it is. Peace
