1st grow, few problems....HELLLLP

[Farmerfran]

Hello GWE members,

I am a first time farmer. For this first attempt i am using bagseed. I have a kind k5 xl1000 LED. I germinated 7 seeds using the paper towel method on Feb.12, all sprouted by Feb. 14. 5 plants are now planted in 1 gallon smart pots. I have been using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil ( I believe all have N toxicity or slight due to soil.) The ph for the water im using ranges from 6.5 to 7. Currently have not given any nutes.

For this post I am only worried about 3 plants that started growing weird on me. 1st i have a seedling that looks like possible mites or something that is leaving spots on the leaves ( pictured 1st). The second problem i have is that 2 seedlings had turned yellowish and the leaves had rolled up as tight as a blunt at one point ( about a week ago). The pictures below show how they have recovered but still have rolled leaves. Are these plants able to be saved or should i abandon ship

any and all help will be greatly appreciated

I recently went to the camp that shoots for a ph of 6.0 and things have gotten better for me, might be something you look at also.

Thanks, i will be aiming for a lower range as soon as my ph down arrives

I'm in that camp...works great. Even if 5.9 - 6.1. But always go for 6

Oh yeah, what a difference its made.

The last two photos look like it might be Light Burn.

Ocean Forest is a very strong soil, naturally high in nutrients, so you won't want to add any nutes for 4-8 weeks (your plants will tell you when they are ready). Some of your problems could be related to that. I've had young clones and seedling that took a little while to adjust to the soil. It's possible that this will resolve without intervention. I agree that your PH is too high and you should consider if your lights are too close.

Hi there ganja youngens ...and mom/dad! They look over watered from where I'm sitting. Do you do the one knuckle rule before watering?

Or the "light lift"...cause sometimes the 1 buckle may be too dry...depends on your individual environment and sometimes strain.

True that tika, my flowers are in 15 gal posts under the scrog so not much lifting 😅😅

Thanks everyone, i have since scrapped those 3 they were just too beat up. To be honest i freaked out a little thinking that i had a mite infestation, and just got them out of there. I have 4 good ones left that i will make another post about on this forum later on today.
