New Grower My First Grow. Finally. Feedback appreciated!

I had to lobby my dear lady for a while to get the space free for a real grow tent. We only have a small pad. The compromise was that I grow some nice tomatoes in there as well some time

Ha! That sounds like a fine compromise. And thanks for stopping by!

Okay, my diagnosis is that I have a phosphorous and/or a calcium deficiency due to a soil PH that’s below 6. Between now and my next watering I’ll figure out how to properly PH my water to get the soil up to 6.5 or so. Perhaps I’ll water at 7.0 next time to see how things go.

Yeah the purple stems means its not gettin its phosphorus most likely due to pH imbalance as you’ve suggested

Right. That sealed it for me.

Stems can also be purple when they are new, all my new stems have started out purple then green up after a day or so.

Hi! They’re more purple now though, and with the other issues with the leaves, and the verified low soil PH, I’m gonna treat her as if she’s struggling to access phosphorus and calcium by getting the PH right. We’ll see how she does. Thanks for stopping by!

Keep going my friend, we are learning. Maybe try to keep those water droplets off your young leaves, it will act like a magnifying glass and cook it. Not sure what the general consensus is on foliar spraying, I’m still learning.

Yeah keep droplets off the leaves, I cooked mine this way lol i sprayed my leaves like x2 a day until i seen the damage it did :c

Thanks! I’ll get some. My wife will be thrilled to see me order something else LOL.

I mean if its gonna get you a dirty look from the woman its not needed, its just one of those things everyone is playing with right now. I seen it on buildasoil's videos on YT and the stuff looks good but my ffof soaks up everything i give it so i have not jumped on the wagon yet but if i have some water pooling up, yeah id try it too lol

Both of my Fast Buds Northern Lights beans popped today, rocking their helmets like a couple of twin daredevils. Two days in the soil and they’re ready to get out of bed. Now it’s a party!
