1st Grow - Northern Light - Journal (aka help me not screw up)

[Mr.furley]

Looking good🖒

[KenneyHo]

[KenneyHo]

Thanks! You’ve been a great help! I may try to save the strongest one just to practice some recovery techniques and see what I can learn. Can’t hurt at this point I guess.

And all is not lost. Pictures of their sisters to follow!

[Mr.furley]

I'm sorry this hadn't got better, if you can put them in to veg it may help, next water flush and catch some run off to check what it is at.

[KenneyHo]

Ph In was 6.3 . I didn’t check the run off.

I only have one tent unfortunately. Best I could do is a bunch of CFLs right now in another room.

[Mr.furley]

Can you take the sick ones out of flowing? Have you check to ph in and out?

[KenneyHo]

I fed them as we discussed last time and kept them at 28”, which is the furthest recommended in flower.

I put my humidifier back in the tent because the Rh kept dropping below 40%. It’s been set at 45%.

Temps have stayed between 71-81.

[Mr.furley]

It is never to late but that has progressed really fast, in detail what have you done in the last 5 days? How close do you keep them to your light?

[KenneyHo]

Are they past the point of no return? Should I focus my energies on the 2 healthy ones?

[KenneyHo]

My local hydro store caries all of the FF line so I’ll grab some Kelp Me Kelp You. I do have the FF chart posted above my tent.

[Mr.furley]

That makes sense as to why they look both sides of the fence and smell like sulfur.

If you have some Kelp that helps plants with stress and recovery.
Fox farm makes kelp me kelp you, which I would recommend and comeback formula which is good to have one or the other in reserve.

Don't be afraid to let them dry out then water to 10% to 20% runoff, your soil is done for nutrients for the most part and it is now up to you to feed. From now on it is probably best to drop that PH down between 5.8 and 6.3.
Also I have a typo up above it should read zero ml/tsp of Grow big.
Do you have a FF feeding chart?

[KenneyHo]

Thank you Mr.furley ! I greatly appreciate your thoughts and perspectives.

I believe that it’s most likely that I overcompensated for underwatering them, by overwatering them with no nutes.

They’ve not received more than 1/2 strength nutes so I’m less inclined to believe it’s nute burn.

Both will be due a feeding Sun/Mon based on how heavy the pots are today. I’ll give them a full feeding and see how they respond.

[Mr.furley]

Ok Kenny, I'll tell you what I think and you can choice

First is that some strains can be notorious to being sensitive to over feeding, so looking at the brunt tips I question that, has the tip burn been around a bit? It will not go away but should not get worse.

Not all brown edges are a excess.

Second is what I really what to say. Your plants need to have the nutes raised. Lower yellowing leaf is a sign that you have a deficiency. Plus been in the ffof for six weeks leads me to think your Indica plants are hungry. If you feel like this is matching info then look at 2 to 3 tsp. Of Big bloom, or tsp. Of grow big and 1 tsp. Of tiger bloom the next feeding.
Then make sure you flush with a good amount of water at 6.2 Ph to get 20% runoff.

Third is that the sulfur smell can be caused by not letting your pots dry out completely, they should be super light when you pick them up. Your droopy leafs can be from this as well, overwatering is a big problem multiple ways, 1) too much too often or 2) watering too soon. If you are having a waterlogged root problem that can cause lockout. Judging by the size different this could be a problem if you water them all the same at the same time.

I sorry that I'm not more definite with my advice, I just see it could be either way from the pictures.

Hope this helps and don't change the other plants they look great.

[KenneyHo]

They’ve been in those pots for about 6 weeks now.

I did flush, but didn’t transplant.

It still happens occasionally after watering/feeding but doesn’t last long,

[Mr.furley]

How old is your soil that the indica plants are in?
Did you flush or transplant after the last time we talked?
Did the sulfur smell go away?
