hey guys,
just wanted to explain to you about my first grow im currently on and was looking for some feedback and tips
plant info;
ak-47 clone (5th week from cutting)
fafard premium potting soil (1-0.5-0.5) 4gal pot
ph balanced between 6.5-7
started off by using Ionic grow nutes, just switched since last feeding to advancednutrients grow a&b and advancednutes B-52
started the clone under a 75w hps light for about 3 and a half weeks then switched it under a 400w hps
lights 24/0 since day 1
so my plant was doing so well with the ionic nutes and under that 75w light. my problems began when it grew out of the 75w box where i then switched it to my flower box 400w hps to keep it vegging till just about right to plug in the timer for 12/12. I started off my transplanting my plant from the less than 1gal pot to a 4gal pot but didnt have enough soil to cover it when i moved it, so i decided like an idiot "oh im just gonna mix some of this miracle grow seed starter soil with my good soil" and i strongly believe i messed up the drainage hardcore by doing that (didnt add any extra perlite or anything) and also overwatered my plant. It doesnt end there, after the transplant i moved it into the flower cab where temps and humidity were not stable at all but i had no choice and out of time due to it growing bigger. When the plant was in there for the first day it was not only in shock from the transplant but it also had to deal with heat spikes up to 95f with humidity as low as 15%... after day1 i managed to stabalize the temps a little better (75-82) but i had noticed the plant had drooped a little and wasnt due to not being watered. on day 3 the plant drooped even moore and then it all began; for 10 days the plant drooped, leaves under curled, soil stayed wet, some yellow, some had black spots, yellowing of the sides, this plant was showing quite a few stresses.
i then decided to repot it once again (went out and got more good soil), replanted it about 4 days ago and it started perking up after 2 days. i waited till the soil was completely dry and pot was light (yesterday) and fed it some of my new nutes, today the perkiest ive seen it since before the droopyness started. new growth is looking great but some of the older branches and parts of the stem have a reddish brown color to it (some of the old leaf veins too), and the plant overall is looking a little lighter then before, what could it be, cal-mag maybe? havent used any all grow..
anyways, i would just like to hear some feedback on what i should do till i decide to hit the 12/12 to keep it as healthy as possible after all its been through.. here are some pics and thanks for the help!! on the newest pics i cut all the damaged leaves off, none of the current leaves have any damage to them, camera a little shitty so it might look like they do
note pics start from oldest to most recent (today)
