concerned parent

Hello! I have a plant that is 6 days old. It is from bagseed and under CFLs in MG potting soil. Since this is my first test run I didn't want to go all out. The MG potting soil is the continuous release plant feed kind that I had sitting around. I have a ghetto yeast and sugar CO2 system I made. I have a slight deformation on some of my new leaves. Upon research I have seen it is either nothing to worry about, or a PH problem. There are no bugs and I only water with tap water that has been sitting out for a day when the soil is crusty. Any information would be helpful

MG potting soil has its quirks, i had bad luck with MG Moisture Control, but it is possible to grow with
if you over water, you will over fertilize, it's how MG works, the more you water, the more fertilizer is released
this will show at the tips of the plant, it's called nute burn
so be cautious with the watering, can't offer too much other advice since i went organic after my 1st experience

personally?? I would almost bet you money that your problem lies with your medium. Which, is your soil... MG products aren't ideal for cannabis... especially soil that has continuous feeding. Your better off using a soil that isn't premixed with nutrients. Not only are they hard to flush out for harvesting.. but they tend to be too strong for cannabis plants.

Good luck though buddy.

peace...

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I read that the plant can handle under watering better than over watering so maybe I will wait an extra day or so between waterings and see how that works. Also, the plant is going to outgrow the small container I have it in. If i change the soil when I switch pots, will that shock the plant?

Transplanting always shocks the plant... but use common sense when transplanting and just use extreme caution and care.. and be gentle with them while doing so. Usually a plant will bounce back from shock within a few days.. sometimes a full 7 days to full bounce back.

Good luck!

peace.

awesome info, I will be sure to do that.

btw, good read on drying and curing. i cant wait to get to that part!
