Hey all.
Basically, this happened: https://www.autoflower.org/f43/grow...ic;-first-grow-so-c-c-11169-2.html#post214329
It looks like textbook overwatering, and considering I did water sooner than usual in order to try and fix the pH problems I was having.
I'm a first timer, so no experience prior to this..
here's my full info
Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. (MH, HPS, CFL's, tube fluorescents, LED's)
----an 80 watt CFL
.2) Distance from tops?
----about 7 inches
.3) Reflector type? (cool tube set-up, bat wing, enclosed reflector, bare bulb...)
----None
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply?
---- Yes
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan?
----Yup, both. A large extractor fan and smaller intake which blows across the plant.
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule?
-----Wattage=80, it's a blue one, so
Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)
.8) Size of container.
Your nutrients and water:
.9) Source of water. (tap or filtered) What's it's ph?
---dechlorinated tap water. I'd mixed in some microground calcium carbonate dust to up the pH to 7.7.
10) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...)
---digital pH metre.
11) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...)
As above
12) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
----n/a,
13) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering?
---watered 2 days ago, and due to a pH problem emerging, I screwed up and watered again.
14) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
---Made a nutrient tea 2 waterings ago, plants seemed to like it.
15) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
---fluctuate somewhat recently.
16) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
---ingoing was 7.7, runoff was 6.2. This is low, but I kept it as that due to it being a small increment up from the previous 5.8
17) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?
--Nup
Your growroom:
18) Indoors or outdoors?
----Indoors
19) What size of closet, room or hut?
---PC inside a closet
20) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
about 27-28°C on, about 24-25°C off. On 20/4 off.
21) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?
---Nup, and I do occasionally examine the leaves with a loupe.
Your strain:
22) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)
--An auto feminised blue mystic, it's an mostly indica - ruderalis
23) Is this an photoperiod strain?
---no
24) How old is the plant?
---Day 28, but it's unusually small due to problems early on.
25) In what life-cycle is it? Vegetative, pre-flowering, flowering, rippening?
--Veg.
26) From seeds or clones?
--seed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
