Hey y’all, Into week 3 and I was wondering how the girls look to you. Still concerned about Tangerine growth and maybe the Happy frog /perlite soil nutes are too much for it? Also, I turned the light up to 75%, 18 inches from top of plants. Still watering with plain ph’d water PH 6.48+- controlled with lemon juice. Humidity avg 40-46 rh.
Thanks for any input!

Your plants look great LissaLou - although your tangerine needs attention - my guess is your tangerine does not like the nutes - don't give her any more nutes for a week or more. And cut off the ugly leaves - they won't regenerate themselves to be green again.

I top my autoflowers at the sixth node - you should be almost there if you intend to do anything like that. If you plan on training - LST - now's the time to start.

Also - and this is important - and is hard - BUT - seeing that you have fabric pots - this is how you use them. Let them dry out before the next watering - I mean - completely dry - when you pick them up they should be super lightweight. This bit of easy work allows air - oxygen - to the roots - trust me they love the oxygen to the roots. Won't happen overnight but your plants will show you their appreciation as the grow goes on.

Thank you for giving good advice! None of the plants have been given nutes. Whatever is in Happy frog, is all they have gotten. I plan on LST and will start on that tomorrow. I will remove the bad tangerine leaves too. Appreciate it much!

The Tang not only has dying leaves but bad leaf curl as well. I think you have a pH imbalance on that plant plus her roots might be soaked causing the droop. Droop is starting on some others too. Do you lift the pots to see if they are dry before you water?

Edit: Use some cal mag too!

[LissaLou]

Yes, I lift the pots and they feel light before watering. Will order some cal mag and ph down ( been using lemon juice) thanks!

Lemon juice is fine for PH down, do let it rest for a while and recheck to make sure its stable.
Have you looked for bugs? Bugs can also cause leaf curl, use a 30x zoom lens or scope and look at the under side of the leaves.

[LissaLou]

I did use a magnifier mirror and did not see any bugs. Should I do an alcohol water underside the leaves?

[Canuck147]

If you're going to wipe your leaves just use a damp paper towel.

Wouldn’t a small sprayer/mister work?
