New Grower The Quest of a Newbie grower.

need some info I feel like I'm missing something leaves seem to curl down a bit and starting to get yellow spots on the GSC (Day 15)

some yellow spotting? should I be worried about this? have not fed anything yet accept little calmag with the 2 small waterings it got

here is the ww day 15

getting bushy a lot more under growth it seems color is still a bit off on her aswell with some curling leaves

 

[NwoodsGrower]

was planning on giving it a good soak tonight have not really gave it a good watering since its been up just straight ph water or a bit of food?

ya wish I could identify the yellow spotting its getting worse it seems I'm leaning towards my soil being to hot but not sure I gave her a good water last night no food but still curling down even the new growth has a curl to it and the yellow spots are getting bigger

I am no where near an expert, but i always told it was possibly a calmag problem. But hot soil could do it. what's the PH? There's nice little pen testers you can get

Is this the kind of think you're seeing, i don't have the best eye sight. If it is cal mag deficiency, (iirc) you won't make the spots go away, just not get worse.

Here's some other info about calcium deficiencies from the above site that might be useful if it's a problem visiting other sites.

"
Calcium deficiencies are more likely to appear when...

• Grower is using filtered or reverse osmisis (RO) water to feed plants - the amount of calcium found in tap water varies, but some tap water has enough calcium to prevent calcium deficiencies
• Growing cannabis in hydroponics with nutrients that don't supplement calcium or when growing in water that has less than 6.2 pH
• Growing cannabis in coco coir that hasn't been supplemented with calcium or below 6.2 pH
• When growing in soil or soilless growing medium that hasn't been supplemented with calcium (usually from dolomite lime) or is acidic (below 6.2 pH)
• Too much potassium can also sometimes cause the appearance of a calcium deficiency
• Outdoors - calcium deficiency is more likely to appear in acidic soil (below 6.2 pH)

seems like good info I did not treat with lime and I am using ro water so that's 2 strikes although I did use calmag last 2 watering very light though like 250ppm.


well on another note I am being blessed with some new genetics for my next grow or maybe a second tent

Here is a description of the Heisenberg Special from the breeders, Mephisto Genetics:

“Heisenberg special is an F1 hybrid of two of our favourite strains. The cross is Walter White X 24 Carat.
This Heisenberg Special was made during summer 2015: we needed to reproduce 24 Carat and we were running the Walter White for flowers simultaneously.
We selected a handful of our favourite Walters from a greenhouse of 48 to be pollinated by one reversed 24 carat.
When we conducted a test grow, we found the plants grew stocky and branchy, not quite as tall as the Walter White parent, but sturdier.
Some simple leaf tucking to expose lower shoots encouraged nice branching a multicola'd plants and she can yield a decent amount of high quality flowers.
The end flowers were very frosty, with nice density: there are peppery to sour citrus aromas, the high is potent but balanced.
We'd describe as a medium to large variety unless you get a heavy 24 carat dominant specimen (which we didn't in our sample test) height range 70-90cm
Harvest window of 65-75 days from sprout.
This was with a transplant at sex, 1.5 liter up in to 15 liters - medium of organic soil throughout.”

its a brand new breed sent out for testing/review was luck enough to get picked here is a pic of some grown out by someone else look yummy

I am just starting a mephisto toof decay seed myself, heisenberg special is one that's on my list. Actually, all their seeds are on my list for the next purchase... I do want to try 24 carat next and after that maybe try to find a male and grow out some seeds.
I really like these small strains as they seem to grow faster, smaller and just seem to be easier to have a 20/4 light schedule for the entire grow.

I know I killed two off and my cat ate the third, but i chalk that loss up to learning to grow and my own stupidity respectively. I've trimmed/lightly tended for others before, but never done a complete grow and so I ask everything as though I've never done it (I like to ask questions and have my hand held the first time so the next time I can do it without surprises/help others out with what I've learned).

I just have a quarter closet sized tent(36hx24dx24w iirc), and it can only take these small ones, but for the ease and stealth/fun factor, the tent is nice. It would probably make a pretty bomb clone tent if i grew photos.

I think it is neat that mephisto is going for the smaller sized strains as that seems to be what more people need (easier to keep kids away from/keeping the kids from knowing your growing (not that it's wrong for them to know, just that some times curiosity can lead them in to trouble)).

One of the strains on my list is Royal Queen Royal Dwarf because it's only supposed to reach something like 40-70cm tall (about like some of the mephisto strains) as well as a few different Northern Lights (for some reason I've tried a lot of new strains, but growers in colorado are not really growing many of the "classic" strains any more and the closes I've found has been a private grower's NL cross but they had not NL).

Before I came to this site, I didn't really even know the truth of how awesome autos were until I saw this video on how to grow by "Dr. Autoflower" (very well worth the 20 minute watch, gave me a lot of basics for understanding):

which suggested this video of photos by "lykaboss247":

which directed me to the site.

Either way, you're farther along than me... Although my first grow would be finishing now if it wasn't for my own issues .

It looks awesome, and probably will be a winner. Although, I'm looking for mephisto to grow out an auto that has no smell. (they seem competent enough to actually do it, and small enough to actually try doing something forum users urge them too). but if not, i can always use an o3 generator as a test on my next run (which will most likely be another toof decay if i get the one to germ).

well it seems the spots are getting worse just on the GSC though the ww seems fine and is getting bushy new growth on the GSC does not have spots yet but a lot of leaves have an extreme curl down to them just at the tips
