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

A few more pics of other symptoms. Smallish holes showing up on some leaves and some under canopy growth dying off. No sign of pests that I can tell, however I may be missing something. I know that if there are root issues, then it can show up in a number of ways on leaves.

Temps: 71-81f Lo/Hi - 77 avg
RH: 51-61% Lo/Hi - 55% avg
Nutes: 1/2 Strength FF Trio per their schedule, CalMag
Water PH: 6.5

Bump for the Saturday crowd. Any thoughts on the symptoms described in my last two posts?

Thanks again for any help!

[Mr.furley]

I would start there and if in a couple days if it doesn't get worse and you know that's the problem, remember change one thing at a time so you know what you're fixing.

[KenneyHo]

Thanks! Any thoughts on the smell after flushing?

[Mr.furley]

No, haven't had that. But it doesn't sound right. Could it be your water, I'v8 lived in some nasty smelling water places.

[KenneyHo]

Quick update. Switched lights to 12/12 this past weekend. Added a new 4” inline fan to help with airflow. Overall things be good.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

nice

things be looking good to

[Mr.furley]

Looking healthy.

[KenneyHo]

Spoke too soon. I was dealing with some potential pest/ focusing on spraying them, and during that time let them get too dry. Major wilting, even had 1/2 a cola go completely limp and had to chop the entire branch after it turned brown. My smaller 2 haven’t recovered and seem to be on a decline. I’ll post a series of pics of the two and one of the healthy ones for comparison.

[KenneyHo]

Healthy comparison.

[KenneyHo]

Any thoughts? I’m afraid I’m losing them.

[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]

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]

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.

[KenneyHo]

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

[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]

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]

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!

[KenneyHo]

[Mr.furley]

Looking good🖒

[KenneyHo]

Best I could do for an impromptu veg/recovery room. 96 actual watts. I’ll lay some plastic sheets on the floor and up the walls a bit.

[KenneyHo]

Happy picture!

[KenneyHo]

One week into flower. They were getting a little bushy so I cleaned them up a little.

[KenneyHo]

[simonreed]

Wow looking really good bud , how are the sick plants have you fixed them?

[KenneyHo]

Unfortunately my makeshift recovery room just wasn’t up to par and I lost them. The good news is that I know what I did wrong and learned from it.
