Day 14 of grow leaves turned yellow about 3 days ago not sure how healthy it is for the plant or what's causing it.
Im watering with tap water that I believe is pretty hard. Tested water PH and the meter was giving me different readings between 7.8-8.3. Either way I need to figure out how to get it lower. LED 100w Spider Farmer 1000 light 30 inches above. Transplanted the pete moss pellet into coco 3 days ago. Been about 2 days since the watering but its still damp so holding off until it dries up.
Humidity has been hard to keep down since the transplant. Gets up to 80% easily so I have the carbon filter running which keeps the RH around 45-50%.
Let me know if you guys have any advice to stop the yellowing or what you think it may be that I'm doing wrong.
Also does the plant look small for the day 14? Thank you all in advance.

Gonna need to get ph down but I’d scrap that run especially if it’s a auto flower and restart just make sure to ph your water before watering so you don’t have the same problem. Seems like your plant locked out and stopped taking in nutrients which is why it’s stunted and now yellowing as it’s using whatever nutrients left in the leaves that it stored before lock out

Yeah its an autoflower. You dont think if I fix the watering problem that it'll be worth trying to save. Or since I fucked up so early is it going to negatively affect the rest of the grow regardless of the changes to the water?

Def don't listen to that advice. You can def save that plant and even if it is an auto flower will produce a full plant.

My guess is to much light or to much heat. You should be running that led on the lowest setting. You should have a fan blowing on the plant.

Anytime stunting happens to a auto it’s going to have a negative impact. Could impact height and yeilds. It’s only gonna live so many days and die so yes you can save that plant but for me I’d save my time and restart. I’m doing an auto flower run right now and I was already starting to train on day 14. I let my ph levels slip on me this week and got a little yellowing but she’s coming back around

I literally have 3 auto flowers going right now i nuked with my light. I just got it and had the dial set on 50%. Thinking that would be ok. Thing was 36" above the plants. Nope. Had to turn it down all the way.

Ran for 2 weeks like that. It has been 9 weeks now and 2 of them are day 1 flower. So these autos will take 18 weeks total cause I messed up. Not ideal but such is life. May as well have grown a 16 week sativa.

I had a fan blowing on the plant but I took it off because I thought that it was increasing humidity by blowing at the damp soil. will get it back on.
Light is not adjustable setting wise unfortunately but it is 30 inches from the top of plant. I will put it even higher.
Should I flush the plant with water that is the correct PH and then just leave it alone?

100% get that fan in there. You kinda want hi hummidity at the start. Plant does not have a good root going yet so it will take some water from the air.

Hi hummidity is really bad in flower not so much veg.

Lol. Yeah they should all look the same but the hydro store does not always have the same stuff.

Def need to get the ph sorted out for the future.

Autos will flower when they are mature. If you give them a great environment they will produce a big plant.

You should probably look into how to actually grow in coco. It is not dirt, pick one or the other. Start over...a two week auto that looks like that is a waste of time.

You will get different opinions........this is mine.
You should have started with a photo instead of an auto.........that way fucking up in the beginning won't affect your yield.
You should have started in a smaller container........it's easier to maintain the correct moisture level for fast growth.
Autos can be transplanted..........most auto growers transplant.
Learn how to grow in coco........www.cocoforcannabis.com.

For plants with an established root system in coco:
Feed daily to substantial run off using a pH around 6.0.
Never give plain water.
Never let it dry out.
Good luck.

These plants are 14 days from sprout for a comparison.

those look beautiful. I had them in a moss pete pellet that was very small. It was looking droopy so i transplanted it into the coco. Reacted well and straighten out but thats when the yellowing started. I flushed it today with water PH'd at 6. I do have alot of learning to do though. If it doesnt start to recover well I will certainly restart.
When you mean never give plain water you mean add nutes to it right?
thanks for the reply

Yes, with nutes.

Distilled water works wonders as well. My tap water is a tad higher than yours (consistently 8.4) and very hard. It fucks up my plants.

I might just buy some distilled water but Id like to get a reverse osmosis system so I don't have to be buying water. Do you know what kind of nutes I should be giving them on coco?
