New Grower First ever grow with what I have on hand

.

The tips curling down is a sign of nutrient toxicity, and the shiny leaves and tiny white spots are a sign of Broadmite/spidermite infection You've get a sick plant!

Thanks for looking and chiming in. Yeah, she is a bit sick.

There are no tiny white spots. Just a sheen on the parts of the leaves like they were given a really thin brush of clear fingernail polish, if that makes sense. I have not looked closely at the bottom sides of the leaves. I'll use my little microscope thing and see if I can find any bugs though. Thanks for your help.

So, I looked the plant over pretty good and used my little clip on phone microscope on the leaves and didn't see any bugs. I did the white paper test and didn't find anything.

If they are there, the little bastids are hiding well.

from a distance they look fine up close im seeing more a discoloured blotchyness more than tiny white spots too much N can sometimes lock out cal and mag.

Thanks Archie. She seems to be doing better now. Lots of stretch this week.

@Bazeldon welcome to my grow.

As planned, I let her soil dry out and that seemed to help with N toxicity symptoms. I watered 2 days ago with peroxide and a dash of epsom salts. I watered till I got a good runoff and I didn't measure anything. She isn't telling me she needs magnesium yet but with cobs calmag seems to be needed. My well water has lots of calcium so I don't anticipate a calcium problem and a dash of epsum salts should take care of the mag. I guess if she needs more she'll tell me.

She has stretched allot. She's now 26" tall from soil. She seems healthy now. Pics to follow.

Glad its improving I'm new to leds myself but from what I've read is you need cal mag for them lights. May depend on strain and other things but I've seen alot of grows with those deficiencies and leds.

Exactly. But some of the calmag products have N in them and the last thing my plant needs is more N. So my hard well water should add the calcium and the epsom salts will add magnesium. I hope.

I hope so too. I know that mine is made by botanicare 2-0-0. But i was told to start with 1/4 strength. And work your way up. Your plant is looking pretty good. How old is she now?

Thanks. She's 35 days. I'd like her to quit stretching and use her energy to pack on some bud for the next 6 weeks or so but she's gonna do whatever the hell she wants to do.
