After scorching my first few grows with overfeeding I decided that this auto grow, I'll start them from seed in 2 gal containers of FFOF and just give them distilled water w/ cal mag till they get hungry
now on day 37 and a week into flowering, they still look happy as can be (I think)...
Sounds good, I guess I'll continue to give regular water. The humidity ranges from 20-24%, I ran a humidifier during seedling and veg but turned it off during flower. Come to think of it that's probably why it's drying out so much within 4 days. Maybe I should water more frequently
To be honest this is my first go at autos, I've done 2 photo grows before this and I always ended up underfeeding so I made sure I didn't this time. I knew autos were more sensitive to nutes but I didn't know they were this sensitive :wall:
And yeah I wait until it's basically super dry and...
Yeah, I figured it was. I water once every 4 days and I feed every other watering. My regular water is distilled water with some cal mag, and my nutrient mix was usually 3/4 strength Fox Farms trio. I did 1/2 gallon of water each time since it's in a 2 gal pot.
I do water until runoff so that I...
Hope this pic is better...oddly enough even though most of the main fan leaves have died at the bottom, most of the lower growth looks less yellow than the upper growth shown in the first pic
Problem looks to be getting worse, when I watered this week it was supposed to be a feeding but because of the nute burn I gave it its regular water instead (distilled water w/ cal mag) tomorrow I'm gonna give it a weak nutrient mix because it'll be time to water, does this problem look bad or...
Makes sense...I was feeding 3/4 most of flower because when I'd feed my runoff ppm would come out at around 1200 which I thought was perfect and when I did regular waterings it would come out to 700 ppm runoff...however I noticed the ph was dipping again so I added some garden lime and I think...
yep, I moved it higher up anyways last night just in case, up to 14.5 inches because that's the highest it can go...temps fluctuate between 72-78 degrees and I do add cal mag to any water that I give it. hoping that it starts looking better soon
ah I see. They're white widow autos from ILGM.
I'm planning to cut out N for the next feeding and so forth, is there anything else I should do besides cut back on nutes?
Thought it was an N deficiency at first but starting to think it's light burn but I'm not sure. Leaves closer to the light are more yellow and starting to get brown, bottom growth is more green. I'm using the Spider Farmer SF1000 light and it's 12 inches away.
Should I move the light further...
