FIRST GROW, ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!!(PICS)

So the browning is coming from nutrient burn. now the shultz fertilizer I would cut what ever it says down to half the amount to the 1 gallon jug of water. On your next water flush it with 4 gallons of water then let it dry out extreamly well. Try to look for a nutrient called Neptunes. Now the fertilzer you are using for the veg has to much P in it. try to look for something like 10-5-10. you want a higher second number when u flower just like what ur using now. But just keep a eye on those brow spots. If u think u have fungi on your soil it should look white. But any other questions just let us know. Have fun be safe

all i can recommend is get more light, better lights or move them closer to the plant. looking alittle strechy there.

also you might be over watering if your leaves are curling like that so just slow down on the watering a bit.

instead of the PH test kit you got, you should invest in a meter that sticks into the soil, much easier to use

The fan will help, but the lights need to be closer and some reflective walls around the plant will help bounce back some of the light your loosing. The discolor is nutes as already stated by camoxnhx. Dont know if you started the seed in that pot, it might need re potted. Good luck:rasta:

Here's how close we're saying to put the lights as long as temps are ok(fan):

And these tight nodes are the result:

Note: The yellow/brown spots are the result of not knowing to back the lights away when you foliar feed. Apparently there's a magnifying effect from the water droplets...lol, you live and learn!

so I looked up the term stretching and really haven't found any thourough informstion on it? I understand it happens when the lights are far away from the plant. But why is stretching not good or how does it affect the plant

The light and nutrients only carry so far so if all the leaves and branches are close together it's much more efficient for the plant's growth. Also the plants will stretch when flowering, sometimes over twice the size, so unless you're set to flower a monster with lights all around you will be decreasing the yield with all that empty space.

wow, thanks redtails I had no idea it grows like that during flowering. When can i start flowering the plant? I put the plant closer to the light and this is the result...

SO when is it guys, when is the time to swap the lighting and time to 12/12?

You can do it now if you want. Most people I think make the change when their plant is about half the size they want it to be, some will wait until the leaves are coming in spaced apart instead of directly across from each other(sign of maturity), and some others wait until the plants show preflowers. Once you finish a plant or two you should be able to guage it better next time.

Or you can do like I'm trying this grow- use an autoflowering strain so the plant flowers when it's genetically told to do so even with 24/7 lighting! Only drawback to these are their TINY size, most get maybe a foot tall at the end and yield 1/2-1oz so you need quite a few to get anything big.

looks like its not getting enough nutrients and too much water. if it wasnt enough water it would change color ard curl up but yours looks a bit limpy. check your Ph levels.
