I vote over nuting. Fox Farm is pretty harsh on the young ones. I've grown bagseeds in beer cups of seedling starter on ZERO nutes. Just plain 6.5 PH'd water. And they grow lush and green. Transplant into some MG moisture control and perlite, and they explode.
I think going to your local nursery or something along those lines and getting some seed starter. Peat is also known to cause low PH. So keep an eye on the runoff PH and let us know what it is.:jointsmile:
Maybe even trying a little more perlite that what the FFOF comes with may help with drainage. If the organics in the FFOF are time released or 'soluble' and you have over moist soil or not enough drainage, the extra moisture could cause the soil to have nute buildup and burn or even lockout the plants.

Hi Befree, I have only had success in seedling soil, if you even call 10 grams out of 4 plants success although my very first grow yielded about 14 grams off 1 plant (caramelicious) and as far as i know there is no seedling soil in existance that isn't peat based (not in canada anyways). The current runoff of my soil is ph 6.5 quite perfect.
also the plants that made it to harvest were grown in the seedling soil right through flowering and i nuted every second watering.
and like I said I will show you guys exactly what happens when I use plain soil with nothing in it, I already know what happens, the plants look good at first, wouldn't exactly call it lush and green though, then they stop growing all together, and then turn into 1.5 inch little greenish brown pieces of shit as if they have just completly starved to death.
your temps are a little high. it looks, by the pictures of your setup that the hot air is stagnating in your bucket. the fan blowing on your (hopeful) ladies doesn't really do anything to help this as it's more than likely swirling hot air around in your bucket.
try playing with your setup.

i play classical music on a loop for the first two weeks on low volume.the results are strong plants that can hold big buds.also bend them back and forth every day to make them more sturdy...try it . no pink floyd,they hate it
haha lmao thanks man that cheered me up a bit ok i will see if i can find some classical music, I enjoy it myself.:)
I agree, this is the last thing I can think of... come to think of it my first plant and most successful plant was the only plant i grew in the basement where it was quite cool. hmmm I will try this next plant in the basement, i would rep you again if I could.Quote:

ok I germinated a bagseed and is now in my new seedling soil.
Question- the ph of my tap water has always been around 8.2 for the last 2 years now all of a sudden I check the ph today and it is ph 6.8:wtf:, whats up with that? Its not my meter because i checked it with my liquid kit as well. Has anyone else had a dramatic change in tap water ph?
I don't have that big of a drop, but mine usually ranges from 7.4 to 6.3
That's why it's so crucial to know your PH when growing, little thrown off can do some damage :mad: lol
Day 19 - For those that think i had nute burn here you go, they look a hell of a lot better after the nutes. and this is why I dont wait until a certain node to feed.
