browning/dying first set of leaves from inside-out

[Hugo]

I just don't understand all this ferts/nutes and tablespoons of this stuff. If I can just get that 3 peice plan working I might just make something grow

It's fairly easy you'll see. It's good you've got spaghnum moss.

Since it's not pre-fertilised it's all up to you now, instead of depending of third parties.

My schedule and dosage advice is this:

1. Start the seed with distilled water. Using a coco jiffy safes me alot of hassle handling, and I only like to have easy management of the seed until first set of true leafs.

2. Depending on your method of sprouting, plant the seed in first home, inoculate tHis first home with myco. This should last until the first or the second set of true leafs appear.
2.a) feeding in this stage is water pH'd at around 6,3 and 1/2 of recommended dosage on back label of energisers.

3. Transplant to 2nd home hole with myco.
3.a) Up until the 3rd/4th week feed should be water pH'd at 6,3 and energisers.

4. Start the feeding with nutes:
4.a) start with 1/4 dosage of veg nutes and energisers.
4.b) gradually increase the dosage of nutes.

Note: I also use around the 3rd week bit of flower nutes (richer in P) to increase the roots growth or a root stim

That's my to you vaped.

Nah man, you just crushed my WHOLE F'n SPIRIT FOR WEED:firedevil: Dats messed up Bro!

It's all good, I'm pretty sure theres one or 2 people looking this over thinking "I told that fool the same thing months ago" I just don't understand all this ferts/nutes and tablespoons of this stuff. If I can just get that 3 peice plan working I might just make something grow

**TYPED HOURS AGO BUT FORGOT TO HIT SEND**

There is a very big reason that ph comes up in most sick plant threads. If your ph is out of whack, your plant can't take up the proper nutrients. What looks like a deficiency is usually often just ph.

Before a grower plunks down a lot of money for the latest lighting, nutes, and ventilation, the best bang for the buck is a ph meter. If it's a soil grow, spend the $60 for a decent soil ph meter too. It will pay off in spades.

If you are like me, there are plenty of things in a grow that , although you may have read about it, you won't truly understand it until fall on your face a few times.

Hugo - I did see some seaweed brand stuff in corner of eye but was rushed, sobering up and wanted to go vape. So there might be a trip back down there soon for a look for that and humic stuff and the PH Meter
Also thanks for that awesome schedule and dosage advice! Don't like the idea that it's all on me now. Damn soil should do its own job!..

ElGuapo - Will look into a Decent quality Soil PH Meter! Thanks. Yeah, I've read mention of nute lock out and such, didn't think it could happen to me without juggling any chems in my feeds..

Don't mention it

You're also going to need to buy some dolomite lime or limestone powder to increase the pH with peat moss, as it's tendency is to lower throughout the grow.

Next trip might be afew days, as I only try drive when I need more green.. I've planted a runt looking germed seedling lastnight in this new mix of 50% Peat 30% Perl 20% Verm. Stuff is very light even after light water.

Adding to my list now.

PH Meter
myco
dolomite lime/limestone powder (to increase the pH with peat moss, as it's tendency is to lower throughout the grow)
exhaust fan
carbon filter..

FAARK ay, really wish I could grow out say, a 10gram plant atleast once before rest of all this is purchased. I'm going over to my vape to rip and ponder.. at the same time :coffe:

EDIT: WVR - didn't get the Myco, forgot, was stoned in a crowded shop lol.. will i be alright without for now?

TIP: Get stoned AFTER the store...

you dont have to abort the current plants... you can run em out and see what happens and be running the new ones up their ass.... It's actually a good learning experience cuz now you'll be on the right track... its best to see the wrong way and the right way so you can recognize both...


GET a PH METER!!!! lol

I like the hannah 98129 for LOTS of reasons

http://www.amazon.com/Hanna-Instruments-Waterproof-Conductivity-Tester/dp/B002ZG8L58

reliable... and replaceable probe (probe is almost always what eventually goes bad)

dont forget calibration solution and storage solution

you only need 7.01 calibration... 4.01 is added bonus but not neccesary.

 

[VapedAs]

I'm only just back from vaping since that last message I think and then 4:20 came round.. so I OBVIOUSLY.. I gotta do my part and rock and fresh bowl, now I look up at comp and its 1hrs 10 mins later haha what the F happened!!

JM - That's a pretty flash meter... mind letting me hold it for a sec?*runs off* not sure I can splash that cash atm but hopefully as time goes on it builds as does a complete setup.:smokebuds:

 

[JM]

i'd put it on your number 1 priority on the list.



its not just plants... all life requires proper ph to live...

Could it be... ? I can't say for sure as they are so small, but the best thing for you to do, if you are going to keep this grow is feed them only with water.
