This is my first grow, and mostly a test run to get some experience. I found a single seed in an otherwise really fantastic bag of Alaskan Thunderfuck from an mmj dispensary and germinated it in a wet paper towel. I never thought it would do well, but it has really taken off. Now it is 5 weeks from seed and I have a problem that I am too noobie to identify. I've been reading forums for days, but there are a lot of conflicting diagnoses. Here's the details:
Matanuska Tundra (Alaskan Thunderfuck)
5 weeks from seed
400w MH @ 18/6
soil: Fox Farm Planting Mix
nutrients: Botanicare Pro Grow + Liquid Karma @ 50% strength, distilled water, pH 6-7
What I originally thought was a N deficiency, has quickly turned into something that looks a lot more like over watering. The bottom leaves are yellowing with necrotic spots at the edges and are drooping low, curling down at the tips. The top of the plant has new growth and looks healthy though - growth doesn't seem to have been stunted.
I have been watering every fourth day, just when the soil dries out. I let it dry out an extra day, thinking I may have a drainage problem because I didn't mix in any perlite, etc., but the plant really drooped low on that last day, so I mixed up a new batch of nutes at 50% and watered it. These pics are from the next morning, after it perked up considerably.
She has pre-flowered and shown that she is worth saving, but I don't want to go into 12/12 with an unknown problem. This will be my mother plant and supply me with enough clones to get a nice little garden going (if it survives). Help me fix it before it's too late. Thanks in advance.
