First Grow - Lithium OG Kush

[queenofqueens]

So I just set up my first grow and I am about 14 days in. Looking for advice for where to go from here. I started the seeds in FF Happy frog, they are definitely growing but seem to have a few deficiencies. Up until Monday I added no supplements. they're growing in a tent with a 600W LED light. Monday I added FF nutrients for their first feed. Definitely got some nute burn but flushed them out. I currently have a fan going in the space but not outtake. 2 of the plants had the nutrient burn and those are the ones growing the fastest. Currently the biggest plant has some weird white stuff on the leaves but I can't figure out what it is. The other one growing fast seems to have a nitrogen deficiency as one of the leaves is curved sharp at the end. Last plants growth seems to be stunted. It's my first time doing this and I've done quite a bit of research but am looking for advice to get these things on track. I'm adding some pictures here to hopefully gain insight from you all.

My questions: what's wrong? how do I fix it? when should I be switching to my 5 gal pots with ocean forest? how much nutes should I add and why are the burning already? Do i need to add anything to my current set up? (currently 600W light, nutrients, fan, ph kit - water is at 6.5)

How strong of a dose of ff did you start with? As well, white may be mildew due to lack of ventilation. Had issue with this myself. http://www.growweedeasy.com/white-powdery-mildew

I started with 3 tsp of big bloom and 1 tsp of grow big in 8 cups of water at 6.5 ph

Start at 1 third to 1 quarter strength. Had great luck with 3rd strength, even on very young plants. Remember, you can always ad more as needed. Take'r slow.

I use, week 3 on chart, 2tsp big bloom, 1 tsp grow big, in 1 gallon (16cups) water.

 

[qwertyonion]

So for 8 cups, id have done 1tsp BB, .5tsp GB

 

[queenofqueens]

ok definitely gonna try that for their next feeding. how often do you feed? also, any suggestions for what might be wrong with the plants right now according to the pictures?

Plants of that size do not need nutrients. Or as much water as you are giving them.
You are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Let them grow.

Evening Queen, 147 is right about they don't need any nutrients when they are small, even though some folks do give nutrients when they are small.
If they were mine I wouldn't give any nutrients till they were 3or4 weeks old, and then Quarter strength. And I wouldn't give them more than 4or5 tablespoons of water every 3or4 days unless your 600 dries it up quicker but they at that age they don't need much water.
That little tip burn ain't gonna hurt nothing . Good Luck Queen

I agree with both of them tho, if you have good soil, no nutes should be needed. I use mine, purely because of low quality soil. I started at 1/3 strength at 2 weeks. Feeding every other feed. I could prob up it, but its my first grow, don't want to push what seems to be working great.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Can't blame if your in bad soil ,but I ain't no plant doctor by no means but I've heard all my that if they needed any they get it from their cotyledons, probably ain't spelled right.

 

[qwertyonion]

Yah. lol Prob just paranoia causes me to feed, but, They seem very happy.

 

[Canuck147]

Happy until they are drowning.

I only water every saaay, 3 days, and even tho i mix a full gallon of water, I dont use near that much I assure. I like to make them work a bit for there water. And soon, They will be in smart pots as well.

 

[Canuck147]

You should only water when the plants need it, not when you think that the faster I water them and the more nutes I give em the faster they will grow.
Good luck!

 

[qwertyonion]

Definitely. Just a matter of learning that line. Getting much better at not over watering.

Hey queen, Off to a good start, listen to what they said above!!! I don't know if anyone else said this, but that spot looks like a water/nute spot to me, like you got a drop on the leaf.

I'm also growing a Lithium OG Kush that's very close to harvest:

So a little update on my grow... been following all the suggestions of not overwatering and haven’t fed more nutes yet and this is what they’re looking like. Is it a nitrogen deficiency? Lower leaves are dying off.

 

[Canuck147]

Still look overwatered, soil in the pot does not look dry.

I concur with Das and 147 Any nutrients they may require should be in the Happy frog well through seedling and into veg. Then start at 25% strength and ease your way up. Just a wee bit of phed water every few days,pour it in a small circle around the plant not on it.
