My First Ever Grow (Advice more than Welcome)

[soccergal]

Alright friends, I've got issues. Two leaves on each plant are discolored and seem to be passing on. I've read about first sets of leaves dying off, but thought it was the round leaves...not REAL leaves. Heres some pics. I'm not sure what the prob could be. Then again, maybe it's normal. HELP!

Other than that...they're a bit droopy cause they were just watered. Or at least that's what I think. Transplantation should be coming up soon. I said I'd wait till 3 weeks, but maybe I should do it sooner. They're at about the 2 week mark now. What do you think guys?

Attached on this post is the C99.

Skywalker will follow.

The bottom searated leaves wouldn't be yellowing and dying naturally this early...usually not for a couple months. It's some other factor. At this early stage I would say too much water? If I understand the thread, you are not giving them nutes yet....they are not stretching and they look full, so light is probably not an issue at this point.

To be honest I've only done outdoor grows, so I'm not familiar with the differences between the two growing styles, but plants are still plants.

I've been lurking this site for a few weeks, reading the threads, and learning from you and all the others here who have been so generous to document their experiences and help me as I plan my first indoor grow. All the parts & pieces for my room are in the mail and I should be up and running by next weekend. When it's closer to planting, I'll start a thread too (and not hijack yours!! haha, jk deepsix)

I hope your babies get better soon. Hopefully you'll get some better pointers from someone here who had already been through your dilema and knows exactly what the problem is.

Yeah Doco...from asking around and talking to Bobbong and Smokey it seems it's time to transplant. That and start up with the nutes. I was waiting till the 3 week mark...but hey...they need it earlier. Might be becoming root bound or dwarfed. So I'm gonna curb that NOW.

Yeah they are not stretching...I've been careful to keep the lights close. But it's been suggested that they are dwarfing. I'm not sure what that means. They are definitly growing...just not really upward. But then again, that's what I was going for....and why I've kept my lights so close.

So...who knows!?! Not me. All I can do is try what's been suggested and hope for the best.

As for you and your grow, good luck! I'm not sure what you can learn from me...but I'm bound to learn from my own mistakes so if you can learn from them too that's all the better. I think I have a decent grasp on lights and nutes and soil. But...that's about it. LOL.

As for hijacking...it's just one big party so go right ahead. Wouldn't want my buddy six to get lonely. HEHE. Joking SIX!

could be a lack of N but before you do that they need a repotting into a bigger pot like 7in they could be getting root bound id pick up ome 10-0-0 anyways just to have it so transplant them wait 2 days and feed them

[SiXFeEtDeEp]

maybe im wrong but Invision don't you want High N/K and during flowerin no more N/K and High P?

9 days? Mine are 1/2 that. Good for you. I misted a couple times. Thought I burned 'em. But I guess not. I think it's a Ph problem. My well water's way too acid. Tested on meter 5.7. I'll just be putting sulfur in the water from now on I guess. Anyway, looking good so far.

[invision]

yeah high N is the first number like 10-0-0 and then flower nutes like 10-50-10 right now she needs 10-0-0

Damn, I got that back-asswards........again Dolomite lime to raise, sulphur to lower. I'll get that shit right....eventually.

Allright guys, I picked up some Alaska fish emulsion and superthrive until my Earthjuice products arrive. And I'm transplanting today. So wish me luck!
