Hi All,
I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
Firstly, apologies - for some reason, I am unable to see the pics in the thread.
A little background:
I would say that this is my first grow, however it would be a little more accurate to say that my setup and attention was never going to be right (for many reasons) for about 3 months, but I decided to "break the kit in" by doing a sort of "test" grow whilst I sorted my life out
Kit:
2m*2m Budbox Titan Tent
8*11ltr WILMA System with CANNA Profesional Soil
4*400W HPS Lights
Optomiser Vega Reflectors
Extraction fan, carbon filter and 6" intake fan
Fans running constantly when lights on, intermittently (30min every 2 hours) when off
Humidity sometimes goes way high ~90% but ave is 40% (perhaps I should run the fans constantly??)
Temperature is ~23c-27c day 16c-18c night
WILMA water system 30mins twice in 24hr cycle (think I'm going to have to increase this - opinions welcome)
I have only been able to be on site once every week (or so!)
Strains Growing:
White Widow * 1
Super Skunk * 3
Northern High Lights * 4 (clones) + 1* Mother (which is now in flowering with its offspring!)
Mother was started from seed and grown outdoors for about 6 weeks in soil/compost/perlight mix.
Seeds Propagated, clones rooted under T5HO light - ~2 weeks
Veg for ~4 weeks under 2* 400W HPS lights on 18/6 cycle
Nutrients: Aqua Vega
Currently in flowering 4/5 weeks and counting
Nutrients: Aqua Flora
Main problems encountered:
1: Mother has been abused and neglected: Whilst I have attached an extra drip feed from the WILMA system to the mother, the first time I left it (whilst in Veg stage), I came back to find it hadn't been watered properly and it looked so wilted I thought it would be dead - it recovered (brilliantly and completely!!)
2 weeks later - same happened but worse. It partially recovered (
growth on the inside of the plant shriveled and died, but the outside has recovered and as there is sentimental value attached
I have kept it going, though I know is will have been seriously stilted!!)
2: I made the mistake of using almost full strength nutrient during the first two weeks of veg - I got nute burn (in varying degrees per strain - but all in all - mild (I think)) After adjusting it was all better by next time.
3: Got a little nute burn again when switched into flowering and changing nutes - but again - all seemingly recovered.
Other than that - it has all been amazing so far - until now.
Just returned after leaving my babies for 2 full weeks. I thought the water tank would last as I had a top up (water only) tank feeding it, but I think the feed was set too low and I estimate that the water ran out 2 days ago.
My concern is around various discoloration of some leaves.
I have attached photos as examples of what I am seeing and hoped I could get some feedback on what these are, should I worry about them, what should I do, if anything?
The vast majority of the leaves are absolutely fine but there are a few that look like the pics, and it would seem that the little spotting you can see on the two photos showing the least "damage" is more widespread (say 10% of the leaves)
All feedback, advice, comments welcome.
I will post some more pics after I take some tonight after lights out
BIG thanks in advance
