Hello Community,
This is my first grow and first posting on this site, i have been doing some re search and using this site as a guide, there is so much good information and help available to all levels of growers. this brings me to the point, the grow journel since this is my first grow im just not sure what to look in the pants in terms of nutrient and watering needs.
Setup-
DIY grow cabinet that i made out of an old dresser
Active exhaust and intake
2 13w led panels that i am still trying to work into the box
8 23w 7500k CFL's
Holding around 76-84 degrees F
The Baby's-
Super Automatic Sativa- Big Buddah
Thunder Bloody Mary Automatic- Samsara
The Food-
Organic Composted Potting Soil from a local farm
Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice 3 part Micro-Grow-Bloom
The Game Plan-
Germination started on 10-10-11, Bloody Mary sprouted in 2 days and the SAS took 5.
I planted them into small solo cups and then moved them to 3 gallon pots after about a week, transplanting them both at the same time even though the SAS was much smaller.
I will be LSTing them in a circle around the inside of the pots with the goal of having many colas, so far it is working well and am just using sections of clothes hangers. I have not found much out there in terms of LST ing autos but i think that in principle it should work the same as if I just grew photos with a short veg cycle, but there isn't much information that i can find out there so this is sort of a test, but with high hopes.
Im running them 24 hours a day all they way through flowering because from what ive read there is no beneficial gains from night, it is just a lack of growth, Also just having it all on is very simple. Im growing the Autos to see how my set up is working, so please no bashing autos, i am growing them because they are fast.
ive been watering them lightly every day and more if the soil feels very dry,
just started using the jungle juice 2 days ago, and have been switching between water and nutrients.
The Problem
I dont know what im looking at, the main veins on the lower leaves of the SAS are yellowing and there is purple on the stems
the Bloody mary has spots on some leaves and the stems are also turning purple in places
IM not sure if it is the strain that woud cause the purple or a deficiency, please help, and feel free to comment on my set up i know there is more i could say but ill wait until it comes up.
-Time to Smoke a spleeefff
its taking too long to put the pictures in order here they are the white pot is the bloody mary and the black is the SAS by that you can tell the age by the size of the plant!
