Hello fellow growers,
thank you for reading and accepting me in this forum. Lets go straight to my config and what I'm growing, I would love to have an opinion from you guys in what I need to fix and what I'm doing wrong:
Seed: Super Skunk https://shop.ilovegrowingmarijuana.c...-skunk-regular
Where: Indoor + Space Bucket
Space Bucket config: http://imgur.com/a/iVDPP
- 5 gal bucket + 2 spacers
- 4 Philips LED 9W bulbs
- 5 mt LED strip
- Exhaust fan on the lid of the bucket
- Intake fan at the bottom
- Bucket is been black taped to avoid light leak
- Timer for lights on power supply
I have 3 seedlings inside the bucket at the moment, the oldest one is been transferred in the bucket on the 11th of January. The other seeds sprout few days later and transferred few days later, but they all affected by the same problem that I'm going to explain in a bit.
Temperature in the bucket is min 23 max 27
Humidity in the bucket is between 38 to 55
18/6 light schedule
Ph of the water is unknown

A bit of history of the seedling (Let's talk about just one seedling, to avoid confusion)
- sprouted in wet tissue
- planted in normal pot mix soil in a small pot (the brown one that you can see from the pic), no nutrients, no perlite, nothing
- definitely over watered this baby, being a noob I was watering 2 times a day, until water would run off the pot
- noticing no improvement, I transplanted the baby in a taller slightly bigger bot with perlite and chicken manure and normal soil
- in the last 3-4 days I'm not been watering as much as before, I waited until soil was dry as and then spray a bit the top
- 24th of January I noticed a brown spot, leaves curving down since almost the beginning, and slightly yellowish, so I decided to add a bit of nutrients, fearing that was a ph problem related and nutrients deficiency. I watered with nitrogen nutrients.
Now, I'm stressing out, I have that feeling I'm doing everything wrong and I literally dunno what to do anymore. I know it's weed, should grow by itself, without much care, but hey it's my first time growing so I'm impatient af
I will receive this week or next week a ph testing pen, to see what's the deal with my water. I was thinking in buying a couple of litres of distilled water just to be on the safe side for now.
At the moment I switched off the LED strip and increased the night time by 2 hours, scared of maybe they were getting too much light.
Ok guys, hope you can help me
