Hi Guys
Please critique my plants. They arent as green as before. Are they okay for their age ?(4weeks)
I stress to pay attention to the VIDEO more then the pics as the flash on the camera make them seem much greener then they are.

Thanks in advance
They could use a little fertilizer.

ph at 6.5.

humidity quite high between 50% and 70%
all the embroyonic leaves off all the plants are yellowing - i assumed this was due to it finishing up the nutrients from them in the seedling stage and are now usings its leaves to make nurients via photosynthesis....
so this means i have a nutrient deficiency?
how can i test for this?
what nutrients do you recommend i use?(keep in mind im in australia so please advise nutrients available worldwide)
fyi this is my first time growing...and these seeds are just bagseeds that i had. im trying to learn and make mistakes with these plants before i start on the expensive feminised seeds i bought.
Might check out compost tea, while small, don't kill em with kindness(over fert). You can beef it up later when they get going.
Definitely look into compost tea. A little fert. probably wont go a long way. Then again compost tea won't give you nutrients immediately like you might need.
Hmmmmm, 4 weeks eh? Metal Halide & a tent. Should be golden. Which type of soil?
:stoned:
il look into compost tea.i m currently using normal garden soil with some dolomite lime to balance the ph to 6.6.also some perlite.im going to grab a fert of 20/20/20 or something with a high nitrogen content .if i can bring the ph down to 6 and give it 1/4 strength for the first week.im a complete newb so just tryna get all the mistakes out of my system from these bagseeds before i put the auto feminjsed ones in.Quote:

:thumbsup:
It's against board rules for me to suggest an actual product. I'd say look for fertilizer that is geared toward roses and other flowers. You're going to have to handle the fert thing on your own, but you can always walk into a grow store or hardware store and ask for help.
for soil im using this...Quote:

Ah, so they sell MG stuff down under too, eh? They make several other types I use in my grow for special circumstances, but for now, the all-purpose will work. Just make sure you use the small spoon that comes in the packet at this point or you will burn them up. I also use Bloom booster in flowering and for re-veggin, I use the Azalea stuff...it's very high in N. Start with all purpose maybe 1/4 strength, wait 3-4 days, observe and then up it if everything seems normal to half strength. It will always take several days to react to what you feed them, so pay attention. Once they get a good root system going you can go to full strength. and you will know when they are taking the maximum nutes they can use when just the very tips of the fan leaves begin to burn slightly and yellow, then back off and give Ph'd water for the next watering. Peeps say MG is crap, but I grow some of the very best using just MG products. :p It's how you use stuff that's more important than what you use sometimes and I use what's readily available and cheap! I'm still on the same box of MG all purpose I bought 6 years ago.
