New Grower First grow Dinafem Roadrunner 1 and 2

[COLORADOCANNASEUR]

Hi everyone! I am about a month and a half ish deep into a roadrunner [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] grow. i want to say these seeds are over ten years old, but I am not positive. I also mixed them up and dont know which is which.

Here's what I got going. A cheap "1000" watt Chinese Led light, that when tested was at 297 watts.
Fox Farm Soil with nothing added.

No ph meter
Nutrients are just the GH Bloom powder.

I did just get a ph kit with a solution that shows ph and came with ph up and down.

After testing what I normally give them, its no wonder they have been stunted / sick. I have been feeding them a nutrient and water that tested at 4.0 ph. Now that that's addressed I imagine them kicking butt from here on out!

I need all the help I can get and appreciate any comments even if you say I am doing everything wrong lol .

Hey guys I just realized that I hadn't watered in 4 days and came home to this sad looking girl. will she recover? I felt all the way to the bottom of the soil and the bottom was still slightly moist/ cold so I figured it was good.

Not your fault, something to do with img size I think, site update on the way! For now try turning phone 90' anti clockwise Can you get a pic under normal light so we can see colour, etc

Absolutely, sorry about that, I'm quickly learning that these led lights drastically change the perception of the color of my plants. Also thanks for the assurance. I tried growing a photo period strain years ago and had them hermie almost the exact same time my pistils started to show in flower, so I'm super stressed that I'll Make these girls do the same.

I'll upload new pics after work without the led lights. I do want to say I have always heard about plants leaves " praying " being a sign of good health, well I haven't seen it happen until this morning. my leaves are all pointing up about 30 degeees.

Hey not looking too bad, I am no expert, but it looks like you may have a cal mag issue developing.
The only reason I say this is because my oldest Auto Kush showed some signs of yellowing like yours is and I increased my call mag and it straightened out.
You need to get a pH Pen at bare minimum, I got one from Amazon with a couple of packs of calibration powder for like $12.00.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Thanks for the cal mag advice. I've had it the whole time but I'm just worried I might burn the plants with adding it on top of the general hydroponics bloom nutrients. I will start today with feeding them.

i have only been giving half strength of the nutrients about once a week. the reason being, I had a friend tell me autoflowers only get half strength on the bloom. Does this sound correct?

 

[COLORADOCANNASEUR]

Wow so boy do my plants look sick or lacking in nutrients once the light was off. I definately see burning on the tips though, I am stumped as i have been feeding them 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutrients the whole time. Here's the best pics I could get atm. Also these are way older than they appear as they were stunted for a while. Is it normal for these wispy buds to start randomly turning pistils orange? I am positive nothing was pollinated but I did have to saw a bigger ventilation hole which sent saw dust flying all over leaves and buds.
