Beginner problems

Hi Everybody,

I am a first time grower, using feminized white widow seeds I purchased in Amsterdam. I have them planted in black gold organic potting mix. The plant is in a space bucket with one intake fan and one exhaust fan. The light source is a 36w led lamp that runs 12 hours per day and is approxmately 20 inches from the plant. I am trying to water only as need using the knuckle as my guide to when to water. The leaves start out healthy but then begin to yellow then grown and curl up. The plant is about 3 weeks old and continues to produce new leaves but wtih the same result. Any ideas, I first though it was light burn and adjusted down to type of lighting I was using from 180w led but this did not help. I could really use some guidance and appreciate you input.

thanks...spinman

Give us a picture of your whole pot. Have you been giving them any nutrients ? When you water, how much water do you give them ?
 
The plant is in a 6 inch pot, I only started using nutrients in the past day, I didn't want to give her any too early in the grow process. Could it be the light is too close.
 
That pot isn't a good size roots like to grow straight down then spread out get a better pot for her and first-aid till she is growing again. 24 hr. florescent light would be good.
 
It doesn't look like light stress at all.

Its one of two things, I think.

Either your ph is off or your soil mix is too hot.
 
what type of pot should I have for this plant. Should it be shallower so the roots can spread out. I will test the pH in the soil and water. I appreciate the feedback.
 
Let's start over....you wrote your light is on for 12 hrs. a day.....if so...that's wrong right there...you got her into flower cycle. She is trying to suck up all the nutes she can...your super duper organic soil is loaded with nitrogen...you gave her more nitrogen...you got her in flower so she is overdosing on nitrogen and I bet your ph is way off....so..flush her real good for about a week or two....with correct ph water..6 is the most neutral number....that is the number one rule is good ph

Don't fret tho...you got this and we all will see to it...

My $.02
 
It really comes down to your electric bill....photo plants light cycle for veg is 18 hrs. Of light 6 hours dark....some think plants need to rest...sleep if you will....

Plants don't sleep....just don't happen...their leaves only droop when lights are off cause there is no light to stretch to...the more they are exposed to light the more they will grow...the more they grow the more bud site they produce. Darkness just slows this process down...so many of us go 24 hours of light for veg.I

So decide if you want a couple extra bucks on your electric bill or not
 
I like it to develop its root growth, I feel like it takes away from the focus from the top for a bit and works on building the bottom.. you're probably right in the aspect that it grows slower with a dark period, but I got time lol
