Hey guys & gals,
I recently purchased a new light which apparently is kick the snot out of my old one. How do I know?
My usual method was sprout, plant, wait 2 weeks then transplant into home pot.
Usually when I transplant (I use the same pots) I can dig my hand down and pull up the whole root system and then place into her final home.
Well... My new light is kicking the old ones behind and instead of my normal root system - it is now about 3x larger than before and using my old method.... Well I snapped the roots off about 5 inches down.
I transplanted 5 days ago when breaking the roots but now she is back. All perked up and after a few days to recover, is now producing new growth. Great! Right?
Well... I know nitrogen def. can cause lower leaves turning yellow and dying off.
My girl's first textured leaves (not the smooth leaves) are turning yellow.
I'm hesitant to start nutes as I use FF happy frog and it has nutes in there which usually last me about 7-8 weeks with just PH'd water. I transplanted into a much larger pot so she has more nutes available in the larger pot.
Could her yellowing be because of the root issues? Like I said, I'm a little hesitant to start feeding her if this is only due to the root problem.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Strain: White Widow Fem.
Indoor
Soil - FF happy frog (as the OF kept burning my plants - they seem to lovee the happy frog)
Mars ll - 400
Only 1 plant under this light
3 weeks from seed (20 days to be exact)
Nutes: *not being used right now: Botanicare
Also... I have an R/O water system in my home... Would it be better to use just PH'd tap water (non RO) or use the RO with Cal-Mag?
Included some shots I just took of her.
Thanks again!!
