First time grow - What's wrong with my babies?

LuffyakaDJames · Dec 24, 2013

So I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with my clones? I transplanted them about 2 days ago. I ran a PH test and the levels came back right at 6.7. They're under a 400 W air cooled tube MH light, with a circulating fan on them, and an exhaust. I've been watering every day and a half. About 1 gallon of water between the 4 plants each water cycle. Today I watered them with 1 gallon water mixed with Fox Farms Grow Big liquid nutes for veging ( I used 1/2 the recommended dosage). The temperatures of my room have been staying between 70-80 F with a humidity level of 20-35%. Attached is pictures of the four girls. I appreciate any help I could get!

Plant 3

Plant 4

Thanks,

If you just transplanted into fresh soil, there is no reason to give them any nutes for a good month. I think they may be a little over-watered from the amounts you described. Wait for that pot to go light before you give more. Good luck!

ya, let em dry right up before any more water, I like to wait until I see wilt a couple times during the life cycle of 4-6 months. This makes your roots search for water and makes the root ball bigger, which will make the plants bigger and also the yield!!

I run my humidity around 60% in my veg room, 20-30% is more like the flower room.

Yea I'm going to try and raise the humidity a little for the veging process. Thanks for the info!

oh really? The only reason I did was because the directions said to use once per week within the first 2 weeks of transplanting? I'm guessing that's just in general though? Not in the best interest for cannabis as a plant? Really? Ok damn I'm not going to water it for a few days than or until it's as described by you guys.

Hey guys I filled a plastic lid container with room temp. distilled water and set it right in front of the circulating fan in my grow room. Do you think this will help to raise the humidity?

Keep checking to find out....

If you have a water bottle with a twist nozzle - that can go from a singular stream of water, to several streams to a fine mist....
Start to spray a little fine mist every now and again.

This really helps to keep the air moist without adding much more water to already saturated plants.

Good luck and try to add more pics and an explanation of your actions, then we can see what works (or not,,,)

i spray the shit out of my veg room, its like a rain forest in there, lol!! I get all the leaves really wet 1-2 times per day and make sure the soil stays dry at the same time. This is part of making the most females out of regular seeds as well, high humidity and creating the perfect environment.

and north of england, its your 420th post!! time to light up!!

LuffyakaDJames · Dec 24, 2013

I'll post some updated pics and let you know how the humidity problem is going when I wake them up in a few hours = D.

wdk420 · Dec 24, 2013

420 used to be police code for the act of burning or smoking cannabis. Example cop pulls up on a car with smoke rolling out of the windows, the officer would get on his radio and say "I have the suspect vehicle with three occupants and possible 420 in progress." After that students grew fond of meeting at 4:20 to smoke and since it has became a code of sorts for American smokers to refer to ganja, smoking, or identify eachother without being too open and risky. It is also Adolf Hitlers birthday on our national weed day April 20th. SMH I woulda maybe moved my national smoke day to the day after...

put a small airstone in the water container, under/in front of fan. I have grown mushrooms in the past and that how I would humidify my grow chamber 80%+,and It would add needed gas exchange(not really important for you), to add to the statement in ( ), if you were to construct a DIY co2 generator from yeast and sugar then route that as well into the water with airstone. The primary fermentor needs to be at least 5gallons. Reasearch "home brewing".
But to now directly answer your question,----YES, it will. However I does depend on your Night temp and Day temp, and the rate/frequency in which you ventilate and/or circulate your grow room.

EDIT: shit Im so f-in high I forgot the most prudent piece to validate my statement, the SIZE or your room will be a contingency of my advise actually working for you.
Merry x-mas all.

Thanks so much! I'll give this a whirl. When you say the primary fermentor what do you mean? Sorry I'm kinda clueless.
