New Grower Need a baby sitter

[Death The Cultivator]

Thanks for all your help archie it all makes sense I've been stressing and reading up online for weeks didn't dare come on here and ask for help after all the abandoned grows I have had stupid I know but knowing I'm not alone and have people with a common interest to talk to makes it a lot less daunting

I can't help with your issue, I only know hydro, but never feel like you can't ask for help. I spent a year trying to grow in a closet for itty bitty grams of larf before I came here.

My first auto seeds died because I didn't know how to use coco.

My following grow was bag seed that was crispy, flavorless dust that I smoked the entirety of. Tent hit 90+ with my 600w HPS for several weeks. I chopped it really as well because I didn't understand.

Another grow I pulled a good amount but lost 4oz to mold because I was impatient curing.

Another another grow I tried a new media and had the saddest plants ever. Bud lacked terps. I wished for good but for several months because I messed up.

I've tried to clone 50 at a time only for my cloner to leak. Cloner was found dead later. Seeds that don't want to geminate disappear into the ether. Faulty equipment just goes missing randomly.

I mess up, my equipment messes up, sometimes the weather sucks. Sometimes everything just needs an overhaul m I've tried different ways to grow to find something I understand well. Hopefully your problem gets resolved, too many ways to skin this cat to get bummed out. Someone can always help on here.

@Waira might be able to help you. Good luck.

Sure looks like a nitrogen deficiency in spite of that bit of burn on end of the leaf...
Hey, if you're not too flipped out by this..human urine might be a quick and convenient fix (nitrogen)..dilute a minimum 10 parts water to urine...

well you have all the right ingredients id invest in a e.c pen even if its a cheap one thats all i have works fine again im no expert but my gut feeling is that 2 liters every two days is too much in soil im in coco and thats what im watering at in the same pot size with bigger plants and alot more light so thats why im thinking its over watering with possible low feeding aswell hard to know with out a e.c pen thats just my opinion i could be wrong .
have you ever thought about trying coco much easier to deal with i think lets see what some other people say

@Dabber I'm from the UK will be going to the hydro shop the weekend I'll look out for it was thinking of going the dry amendment route but gonna see what's on offer funds are a bit tight at the minute seen the plant magic nutrients where £10 a litre will work out £40 for the basics got around a 100 to play with so will see what I can get

@Damien50 thanks for the kind words and the horror story's nice to know I'm not alone I'm usually a quick learner so it's frustrating when I don't get the hang of things straight away there's tonnes of info online but making heads and tails of it on your own can be difficult just glad there's a good community on here with a wealth of information just feel bad asking people for help

@Toad urine seriously haha I'm willing to give anything a try but I don't fancy smoking my sausage juice strangely enough that's not the strangest thing I've heard of feeding your plants I remember reading about some one asking if they could use there semen to feed there plant and reading another thing about using there pregnant partners urine because of the hormones like I said there's a tonne of info but some of it is useful some not so the Internets a dark place and the mind does wander when stoned out of curiosity have you tried using your own urine not being disrespectful

@Trichome farmer thanks for the input man really appreciated ill order a e.c pen today seen one on amazon for a few quid I've been looking into coco with dry amendments I watch Mr chanucs grow on YouTube and he grows some nice looking plants

You could be right feeding to often and not enough it's hard to figure out what is needed and when
will the e.c pen help with that does it measure the ppm is there a certain number I should be looking for I thought it was a hydro thing didn't know I had to worry about it all in soil I'll check out u tube for some info thanks

mega crop is a usa based company go check out there website they were giving away free samples plenty to do a grow or two and theres alot of guys around here using it you mix the powder with your water i do like the idea of powder nutes you mix into the soil but i dont think its best for a new grower something like the vitalink nute range general hydro or canna would be best till you get going the e.c pen will tell you how hot the nute mix you have is for a rough example in veg i usually go 1.2 in fill flower it could be as high as 1.8 im doing a terrible ob of explaining myself here sorry

 

[MrToad]

Yeah Sgt

It's funny how we become squeamish when something comes out of our body...People look for Bat guano, Goat manure or rotting fish to feed our plants...but sterile urine, Woh..not that! Chuckle..assuming Mr Happy hasnt caught something, is a fantastic fertilzer with high nitrogen, decent phosphorus, potassium and Calcium and trace elements

and..It's free.

Cheers

Admittedly the semen ammendment you mention seems pretty ..um..yuk!

 

[Towlie]

That explanation is fine to me I like it simple I've been looking on u tube so if there's any thing I struggle with I'll be sure to give you a tag doubt they will ship samples to the UK I'll find something I need to stick with one line and get things right first

Like I said mate wasn't disrespecting you I know most fertilizers are rotten food or feces I will probably give it a try at some point your right in what your saying us humans are weird I read something today that relates to what you just said

"us humans are weird creatures we will lick each others arse hole but if where out for dinner and a fork falls to the ground we request a clean one"

Was something along those lines lol
