Setup: indoor grow, 4 forum stompers, 3 in soil, 1 in Dwc, all started in root riots. Soil is coast of Maine SB mixed with about 35% perlite and a little bit of the quoddy compost in 3 gallon fabric pots. Currently running viparspectra xs2000 at 60% 24 inches above plants. Watering habits: all water ph to 6.3-5 with an apera ph20, i have been using well water which has a ppm of 200-250, I have been spraying about 25-30 ml twice a day in a circle about 3x the plants diameter. I am about 10 days in and Two of the three in soil are beginning to brown/yellow at the tips and the one in dwc has begun slight browning as well. My thoughts are either the soil is too hot or somehow my ph is going out of whack. My concern is how early these signs are showing and how badly will they be stunted. What I am looking to find out is if I should switch to distilled water, flush, repot, etc or just do nothing. Sorry for the lengthy text but wanted to include as much info as possible, thank you for taking the time to read and help!

I think it might be excessive nutrients. The soil has nutrients for a bit plus your water at 250ppm adds more stuff and added more compost. just give plain water and see how she reacts

Nitro burn
 
Switch from spraying to actually watering, and ditch the wel water. Use tap water if your water is decent. Don’t feed it nutrients until it’s a little older. Stick with ph water for a week, or feed plant start which is designed for seedlings. I love that stuff. Don’t spray the seedling either (in case you do)... it will burn the seedling. Ur medium looks bone dry. They definitely need more water, your light/heat will be evaporating that amount of water easily so they will be very hungry. I can’t give you an exact amount of water to feed because I can’t see how much they’ve drank as it’s not my grow, but start with 500ml or 250ml at the least

well water sounds amazing to me but you dont know what is in it unless tested. fill out in the format below makes it much easier

Problem:

Medium/grow method:

Feed: and supplements used:

water source:

Strain/age:

light used:

Climate:

Additional info:

i'd add to that, ph of medium and e.c of medium via any method you have/can use



is this your soil? https://coastofmaine.com/product/stonington/

also, your medium looks pretty dry on top, maybe just underwatered, if everything else is in check

Not so swell, second run with coast of Maine and so far nothing but problems. I mixed my current rub with a significant amount of perlite and it still not up to snuff. Definitely will go with coco or fox farms next run
 
Sorry, I’m brand new to the site and don’t know where to start. I probably pos this in the wrong spot. I’ve done 3 successful indoor grows; this is my first autoflower and you can see I have issues. White wido and lambs breath. about 82 degrees 35.% humidity, 1000 watt mh 30 inches away on an 18/6 cycle. Today is the 13 th day. Germinated seeds were put straight into 5 gallon buckets, using plain tap water. I included a photo of soil content. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Very cool site!
