First grow since the early 90's and I am struggling. Not sure if it's the strains these days but I have had problems since seedlings. I can't figure it out. Growing in soil. I mixed top soil, black dirt, vermiculite, perlite and sphagnum. I really believe the soil started alot of the issues. They are in a 5x5x8 vivosun tent. Started seedlings under a couple cheap led grow bulbs. Then I put them under a 315w CMH. Was using tap water but switched to distilled a couple weeks ago. I try to keep the water ph around 6.5. After the first 2 weeks I was growing mushrooms like crazy in the soil. After removing them i eventually got rid of those but noticed stunted growth, yellowing and dying leaves. I may have also over watered in the beginning also. They are in 5 and 7 gallon grow bags. I dont believe I'm over watering any more. I can put my whole finger in dry soil before I water now. I also along the way had gnat all over and probably in the soil too. It seems I have them under control now. So I started with 10 plants down to 6 now. I'm about 2 months into the grow and these 6 are looking bad! Yellowing, dying on edges, weird spots on the leaves that range in color and size. These girls have thrown everything at me and I'm just stumped. I used purecrop1 to fight the gnats. Was feeding them Alaska fish fertilizer. But switched to cns17 veg grow. I think the gnats were attracted to the fish. Any help I'd appreciate!
