2 1/2 weeks. do they look ok? ***PICS***

hi all, 2 1/2 weeks. small yellow spots.

i thought it might be the tapwater so i'm using rainwater now or water that's left to sit for 24 hours.

any comments? this is generally the point where i fuck something up and the plants die. I just want to make sure they look ok and that i'm not heading in the wrong direction.

comments are MUCH appreciated.

Foxfarm soil and foxfarm nutes (starting at 1/4 strength in one week).

MH light 24/7.

What strain is that?

look ok, not perfect but ok
dont water too often, only when they need it.

Looks like they have had too much water? Also I can't really tell but that might be a chemical burn or a deficiency of some sort. You might want to post picks in the sick plant section. If they stay droopy or get more of those spots on the leaves you might want to pick up some revive from Advanced Nuets.

well, i think that i did/do overwater them. i'm cutting it down to every 3 days at this point.
i haven't added any nutes to this point and the soil is FoxFarm Oceanfloor.

as far as strain, it's just bagstuff, so no clue at all.

they look good enuff

thanks for the advice on the watering. much appreciated.

is week 3 a safe time to start with 1/4 strength nutes?

You an definetly go 1/4 strength nutes, or if ya wanted 1/2. Also I would start lighting 18on/6off now for sure.

Look to be overwatered. Your pH may be a little high if you're using tap. If you don't have a meter I suggest buying smoe superthrive and putting it in your tap water. Add like a teaspoon to a gallon and it will lower the pH a little.

Look at your city's water report and trust it to be accurate, because it probably is. Most places have harder water.

what's the benefit to going 18/6 at this point as opposed to 24/0?
i've read that plants sometimes need a little 'rest' period during veg stage.

also, is using distilled water a good idea versus tapwater?

You should always distill your tap water to get chlorine out. Its worse for younger plants, could be your problem.

Water from the store (distilled drinking water) has a very low ppm (<25) and a pH of 7.0 (pH neutral). True of most all purified drinking water you purchase. That is still a little high for growing mj in soil, so superthrive works man, I have a meter and tested it. I put ~3ml in 3 or so gal of h2o and it dropped the pH more than .5.

look at your city's water report. if you're in the city, don't use the water, unless its like a small mountain city.

buy meters.

have a good day sir.

read this. you can do either way. Some people argue 24/0 is better than 18/6 and the other way around. http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12519
