Ok here is my background ... this is my 1st auto grow and actually my 1st grow of any kind upon being a student of cannabis here at AFN. I did have a few photo grows, but it was a matter of stupid luck if I harvested anything at all.
My current grow was started indoors for approx. 4 weeks and moved outside.
My medium is OF mixed with approx. 20% perlite and 10% coco, (also mixed in a cup of powered lime in approx. 25 gallons of soil).
I have plants with problems in 2 different sized fabric pots. Most are in 3 gallon and 2 are in 1/2 gallon fabric pots.
All plants have had ewc added to fill out their pots, but that was a month ago.
I have used the following nutes. Alaskan fish emulsion, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Norwegian Kelp, Jamaican Bat Guano and Feed Grade Blackstrap Molasses.
I also have Organic CalMag, Sledgehammer and AN Rhino Skin. I use at least 2 ml of CalMag with every feed/watering. I also used sledgehammer on day 35 and gave the girls a good flushing.
My water source is mainly tap, (first 4 wks rain and distilled), with the chlorine bubbled out for at least 24 hours, and most times longer.
I test water after bubbling with a cheap digital ph pen that has proven reliable and frequently calibrated with 7.0 solution.
I use ph up and down to adjust water.
I've watered sparingly, (if at all), the last 2 weeks as we are in the mist of a rainy period.
Because of the rain, I haven't been able to feed nutes as often as I'd like too. Because of this, I accidentally overfed the last time I used nutes which was Thursday, May 28. . In one gallon of water, I added a tablespoon of Bat guano, 5 ml of CalMag, 10 ml of Big Bloom, 10 ml of Tiger Bloom, 15 ml of Food Grade Blackstrap Molasses, 10 ml of AN Rhino Skin and 5 ml of Norwegian Kelp ... which was obviously too much!
I currently have 10 plants ranging in PH from 6.5 to 7.0.
Please see notes under each pictured.
The photo above is a 49 day old Auto Purple Amnesia suffering from what I believe to be too much nutes. She is in a 3 gallon fabric pot. I also have 2 more of this strain and one of them is also showing leaf curl ... just not as bad. However, as the pots dry out I realize more and more nute salts will cause more stress. My current plan is to do nothing at this time, as it is suppose to rain tonight, and more rain is expected tomorrow, (sort of a natural flush). I have a way to measure rain fall so I will have an ideal of how much of a flush has occurred.
This is a HighRise Auto Fire 99 regular. She is 55 days old in a 1/2 gallon fabric pot and her PH is 6.9. Besides needing transplanting to a larger pot, she is also showing some leaf curl, and some other type of problem in her lower leafs. I started these because I was getting worried about my Herbies order not arriving. Once it arrived, I 've been kind of neglecting them.
This is also a HighRise Auto Fire 99 regular. She is 55 days old in a 1/2 gallon fabric pot and her PH is 7.0. Her leaf problem is more pronounced.
Thanks for any help !!!
