Lighting 1st Timer grows Auto NL under 100w of DIY Citizen COB

Those spots I see from time to time. Maybe a hiccup in assimilation. Plant keeps growing, old fans disappear, could never tell she had a blem. I don't have experience in the type of feeding you do. I'd be thinking nitro and light

Thanks all for the input.
Well I have upped the Nitro and the lights have been cranked up from the other day.

Lets hope that this is indeed the issue and all is resolved.

@trailanimal do you not think it could be related to Fungus Gnats - might have one or two floating around my cupboard.

sure it could be... looks like the symptoms - best get the items for that too, rather safe than sorry

 

[trailanimal]

I wouldn't know. So far insect probs in the greenhouse have been way minor, knocking on wood! Between hand picking, spiders, predatory wasps and white crowned sparrows, minor damage only.

How many days are you walter? For autos you should always stick with the veg feed untill stretch stops, then flip to bloom feeds. Buy doing this you get the most out of your plant. Autos have a different life cycle than photos.. There is a master on here called atrain and he has written some really good stuff about the life cycle of autos... When you introduce bloom nutes you will be shifting the plant to stop vertical growth and start its bud mission.. Now if you want small plants or plants that finish really quick you can use the early bloom method, but at the cost of yield.. They were bang on above with the general hydro replica nutes.. I used them my first run. I would download general hydroponics drain to waste feed chart and follow that.. But next time start at half strength of veg nutes and each feed slowly increase until you hit the recommend target, or if u see nute burn on the tips slowly back off 10-15% and keep it there.. Different strains have different tolerances of nutes.. I have a bunch of good fact sheets here.. Coco or peat moss is considered a soiless medium and follows the hydro chart, ideal ph is 5.8 . if running in real dirt 6.5 is ideal.

Cheers

@Jimmyclone many thanks for the charts, yeah leaning on the N def, but since the upping of the nutes and cranked the cobs power, growth seems to be taking off again and symptoms seem to have stopped progressing. Though guess my feeding was a bit on the hard side then, as my water is at 6.2ph, will get it down on the next batch of water I get ready for feeding

So that is good. I should be able to give a definite answer in a day or two, but so far, it seems to have helped.

So to all who has helped it is appreciated. gotta protect them girls

Hi All

Day 50

Plant is look so much happier - upping the nutes definitely helped the girl, along with cranking up the cob wattage
The cobs are 3000k so took it out the cupboard in a few shots to see her color coming back to normal

Thanks all for helping out with her

Dont mind the finger in the one picture

Think the root system is pretty much established lol - 3 gallon cloth pot, roots have grown straight through the cloth - stupid photo comes up upside down

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

looking a lot happier now

 

[WalterW]

Yeah, definitely archie, getting some nice dark green leaves again
