Week 4 from sprout(Help Needed)

[TriggaTre0053]

So my girl is a month old looking pretty. However the first set of true leaves are turning yellow. She's just under 1 standard home cfl bulb and eating Alaska fish fertilizer (hardly any mixed in) so it can't be nute burns. Or light burn any other suggestions

 

[Dynamo626]

your girl is fine. the first true leaves fall off. nice healthy green. dosnt look over watered. good job

May just need a bit more fish fertilizer... They will cannibalize themselves robbing nutes from lower leaves to feed new growth.. She actually looks good and healthy.. just one odd leaf..

 

[TriggaTre0053]

Thanks for the replies, it made me a little nervous I just noticed the same leaf on the other side is starting to do this. Also she's about a foot tall and getting nodes coming in that have 9 fingers on them. At what age should I start 12/12 I don't want a huge plant right now due to space saving, and when I do switch to flowering what should water scheduling and nute scheduling be?
This is my very first grow so please bare with me lol

Remember your plants will double in size so you need to calculate your height once you switch to flower.
This will be the flower stretch so just note that

 

[TriggaTre0053]

When it goes into flower will I get more side growth instead of verticle? Or both

 

[Tone24]

More height growth than spreading out altho it will bulk out aswell but yea more in height

 

[TriggaTre0053]

Do I HAVE to have nutes during flowering. I'm trying steer clear from alot of nutrients (I like all natural everything) if possible. But I've been reading about dyna grow and it doesn't seem too bad

 

[Tone24]

Aslong as your soil has a good blind of nutes you should be ok but pk is important in the life at flower

 

[TriggaTre0053]

I'm using Dr earths motherland I think it has some nutrients in it

 

[HydoDan]

Dr Earth is good soil, it has plenty of slow release nutes.. But you may need to add some Dr Earth flower girl to help in flower.. I use the dry flower girl and make a compost tea.. .1 cup in a gallon of water let it sit 24 hrs.. strain out the solids and use a quart per plant..

Nitrogen is VERY important in the beginning of flower, during stretch. If you give too much PK in the beginning you will lock out calcium.

Dyna-grow is exelent however it isnt nateral or organic. 100% sinthetic salt based. Try Roots Organic or General organics. If you do go organic i would suggest lots of microbes

Neptune's harvest is great as well! I literally accidentally dumped about a half a bottle into a plant.....it was unmixed....thought the plant was toast gonna burn like the sun. Shit if anything it helped looked better than the others for a good while. Lol had to flush it later on as nitrogen tox set in on her but after the flush no problems and grew dank stuff.

Alaska fish fertilzer hasn't been made in Alaska for years and contains all sorts of toxins and heavy metals. Somewhere on the bottle it likely says, *not for use in organic food and crop production. Because it's made in indonesia out of polluted fish and shellfish crap.

The first True leaves are the first serrated ones that show up after the cotyledons. The little round ones that first show when a seed sprouts. They are supposed to go yellow and die off.

Dr. Earth doesn't have slow-release nutes, it's organic. I like Dr. Earth, of course. But slow release implies controlled release synthetics.

Where? Cotyledons are not true leaves.

I say right there the first TRUE leaves fall off. made no mention of the seed leaves

 

[OldMedUser]

My first true leaves don't fall off until the plant is way bigger but your mileage may vary. No prob.
