I am feeding it around 2-3ml/L of calmag phed at about six every other watering. Have no experience dealing with nutrients soo im kinda just trying my own thing. Any advice always helps:):jointsmile:

Looking good so far!

When you do decide to introduce nutes, start gradually, use the bottle directions as a starting point, and then work out your own formula for what works for you.. If you see signs of nute burn, remember flush with h2O asap..

As far as choosing nutes, theres a lot of options, personally i love the EarthJuice line, it just can be tricky to keep the PH stable sometimes..

Hello. As you can see in the pics there is a little bit of leaf burning. They are looking sorta healthy but i still think they should be greener. Any advice on what i can do. Thank you:jointsmile:

alright well please don't take offense to this but ... they look alright i guess ... but they could look a lot better. Let's see what we can do here ...

So i have some questions:

1) What is the temp in your room?

2) What is the RH% in your room ? (relative humidity?)

3) Are you using nutes? AssasinDJ, I strongly disagree with working from what the bottle says and figuring out your own mix ... If you are starting out as a first time, follow a full nute schedule (meant for MJ) but start it at 1/4 or 1/2 strength and let the plants tell you what they need. If I gave my seedling full strength FoxFarms, which is for MJ, they would probably be pretty hurt. You have to ease them into it...

4) What is your pH of the nutes/water going in AND coming out? If anything I'd say there is something really locked out and it is really hurting some of your girls.

Right now I'd strongly suggest a full flush of just straight pH'd water. Is there a reason you were using calmag pH'd water? CalMag is a supplement for when you have a calcium/mg deficiency. I know a lot of people use it just because, but you should really be careful with that.

Overall, they look ok, they are by no means beyond repair, but if you want a lot of great nug, then you should try to get them as healthy as possible, not just "good enough"

jmurk5mm, that was nice of you to comment but you probably aren't helping him out by giving positive support to not so healthy plants, even if they may have been better than yours at first.

I'd love to help you out with this stuff, so hopefully the answers to those questions will help us move in that direction.

peace,

PS - i apologize if that all came off like i'm a real dick ... just had an emergency appendectomy on Fri and i feel like shit / meds got me all fucked up... sorry i'm just tryin to help you out.

Thanks for the reply SecretGardner.
Also my temps are in between 70-80 with light on, 65-75 with lights off. Lately RH has been in between 40-55. 55 being right after i water them.
Now my first problem is i have 2 sets of strains here. The smaller ones are actually started a week later and were givin different soil.
Now I have a pre-bought mix for the all of them. The youngest ones were put into the 2/3 pre-bought mix 1/3 perlite. The ones I had added the perlite to are the ones with the most problem. I have been watering them with water ph'ed at about 6. Now that was my problem. I had never checked the ph runoff, but after I did I realized my PH runoff was under, meaning that my soil ph was too high. I have been watering them with straight tap water phed at 7 after I flushed the ones with main problems.
The only thing now that is wrong is some of my lower fan leaves are starting to dry out or burn it kinda looks like. It is only my fan leaves that are doing this. Also I think I dont have enough CO2 being introduced into the environment which could also be causing problems. I am installing an exhaust within a couple days.
Is there anything else I could possibly do. I am going to get a different kind of nutrients. Right now I currently have Pureblend Gro and Bloom, Calmag plus, Micro-gro, Micro-bloom, and a couple other things.
I need to start feeding it better nutrients but I have no idea what kind I should be giving to them. I have a hydroponics store in town and can pick up one from a large variety but dont know what to pick.

Tonight I finally figured out a feeding schedule. I am starting off by using a nute schedile i found through google. Today I fed them 5ml floragro, 2.5ml floramicro, and 2.5ml florabloom. Will be doubling the dosage next week since I am in the 4th week, and started the nute schedule from week 2. Will have more updates in 3 or 4 days.:jointsmile:
