Northern lights looking much better. Not sure whats wrong with the purple chem

Hmph, yeah, what the heck went wrong there..... Try giving it a good soak, nice and slow, until you get some runoff out of the bottom. Might be dry down where you can't see.

If you've got a ph pen and an EC/ppm tester you could dig up a big of the soil and run a slurry test just to see if something is way off.

this is the ph meter I use. Been calibrated twice. I'm scared to water cause the pot is extremely heavy. So I assume it has plenty of water. But I suppose I can do what you mentioned in the morning. My temps have been 79 degrees exact all week. Light is 24/0 and 24 inches away from top of plant. I am really bummed out about it.

hi there bud, don’t beat yourself down buddy, every first timer will have these moments, just hang in there, . I only ended up with one plant in the end, and she did well.
Personally I would suggest changing your light cycle now, like you I started on 24/0 just in the hope of getting her off to a good start, but I don’t think the plant liked it too much and I started to get taco and dried leaves, very similar to yours. Then I changed to 20/4 with the lights and she started to perk up again, she Really seemed to appreciate the rest. I know these plants are supposed to be able to handle 24/0 light, maybe it’s strain dependent, I’m still learning myself, . Just keep going at it buddy , you will be fine.

I agree with the Sheriff. I have my lights on 18/6 and have no issues. The way i see it is that plants have downtime in nature so im happy to give them a break too. just my .

Thanks man. Every time I look at it I feel it is worse and worse. But could just be head games. So changing the light cycle won't shock them at all? I don't want to piss my northern lights off cause she is doing so good. Almost tempted in tossing the purple chem outside and just trying a new grow for indoor. Only thing is, its 100 degrees outside. Thanks for advice

nope, no worriez autoz could give a shit less what the light is doin and as far as puttin the purp chem outside, as long as u keep her added thirst quenched, she won't bat an eye at 100f jus get some straw to put on top o' the soil, to help keep it cooler, and thus, keep it from dryin out as fast & unevenly...workz a treat ppp
