Grow Journal 1st grow Autos by Greenpassion

I haven't gotten much response on the last set of pictures that I took. Today I have something else to report. 1 out of six seems to be clawing. I've read the tutorials and I can't quite figure it out. It's in kind soil like all the rest under 300 watt LED light like all the rest about 20 inch away from the light like all the rest. I don't think it's a nutrient deficiency, and it doesn't look like lightburn. Anyone have any idea what this is?

As I just mentioned above, these plants are growing in kind soil. In reading the tutorial is it possible that for some reason this particular plant is up taking too much nitrogen from the kind soil? Should I flush it to lessen the nutrients in the soil? Because it is kind soil that is the only way I could possibly adjust or lower the nutrients in it.
 
Greenpassion, Morning, yes KindSoil is notorious about clawing in some plants, some it doesn't bother,
That's why it's always nice to have a little more of the ffof-ffhf-or coco loco or whatever your using on top of your KindSoil, just because of the nitrogen.
I've had it happen to me a bunch of times with KindSoil, but it don't bother all plants just some, plus they grow out of it anyway, you want be able to tell it in a week's time. Probably.
You don't need to flush,you will wash all the good stuff away.
 
Thank you D.A.A.S.69, that's good to know! So the next time coming up when I plant more, I will use slightly more Pro mix on the top part? I realized my soil level is actually about two in down from the edge of the cloth pot, so I could have and should have filled it closer to the top I think. Your grow is growing really well I see!
 
Daas is right about some liking kindsoil more than others.

Also what is your humidity ? If its too dry your plants may get a little burnt from taking too much water from deeper in the kindsoil.

Lots of the serrated edges of many of the leaves at different levels are curling up, my plants do that when the temps creep up too high. Can also be too wet at the roots.

Hope to have help point you in the right direction .
 
Greenpassion, thanks man, I wish I would have kept them in the tents under proper light an environment, but I didn't, I got them in a closet with just an Led on them, and they are lucky to get 15-16hours of light a day. Instead of 24hours like normal.
But your plants are looking nice, they ought to be growing really nice at their age, put don't worry about that claw, they will grow out of it.
Your doing a nice job, keep up the good work, that KindSoil is gonna take care of everything, although brewing some worm-compost tea, and molasses is always a killer to pour on your soil, to get them going good, it feeds all the good bacteria and microbes in your soil. You are feeding the soil ,not the plant. Read up on the teas, they are easy to make, and works wonders on your plants.
They also make a product called Recharge, that's what I use now. It's just like making teas, but lots easier.
 
My humidity fluctuates a little bit up there. But never usually goes below 40 and sometimes it's a little above 50 mid-50s. The warmest it's gotten that I have seen is 81°. It's generally in the mid-to-upper 70s. I have small fans moving the air just enough to move the leaves a little not to blow them over. Don't know if they are too wet at the roots, but I did catch myself not watering deeply enough. The last two times I watered, I watered until I could feel slight moisture on the bottom of the pot. Nothing dripping out though. I suppose I could be watering again too soon because I go by the knuckle measurement. Which really doesn't tell me how much moisture is in the bottom of the pot. I lift them and then becoming familiar with their weight, but I could be making mistakes. I appreciate your help.
 
You sure want to make sure the soil is dry before watering, You can easily tell by feeling the bottom of your smartpots, you want to make sure your roots are damp, a little runoff ain't gonna hurt either, just put a saucer under your pot an what little runoff you got will be wicked right back up in the pots in 30minutes time.
 
Its not too bad what ever it is, so react carefully. Dont go overboard.

Another thing I do for root health is put my fabric pots on something that allows air circulation underneath. My plants are on plastic milk crates, but anything to create a gap so air can flow.
 
Awesome! Thank you you guys! And I was checking out that recharge a few days ago online. Money is an issue at the moment as my electric bill has nearly doubled, but I will definitely keep that in my wish list. And that's a good idea about putting something underneath them to get air flow. I'm going to pick up some trivets, and that will keep them an inch or so off the surface of the table. So much to learn....
 
That's some great information from Californiakid also.
When you get used to how much your pot weighs, an by looking at the leaves, you will have the watering part down pat. Always pick up your pots even if you know they don't need watering, just to help you get used to the weight, your pot will be lite as a feather, almost, when they need watering.
 
Greenpassion, you are doing a great job, just keep pulling the branches out from the middle, and when you tie them down, try to keep a flat canopy.
If one branch is too tall, just tie it down, so they are all about even height. Have a nice weekend Greenpassion! !!!
 
Here are some of my girls at 35 days. There is one hopefully the picture will show it, that really doesn't have any branches but it looks like it has pistols all along the central Cola. If my terminology is correct. Also again don't know if the photo show it, but I started LST on them before they had branches, meaning I bent the central Cola over and the whole thing lean so now most of these plants are leaning to one side of the pot. I think next time I will either wait for branches to come, or stake the central stem upright and just bend the very top at the beginning of the LST training.

I have a question to those who grow in kind soil. There's a product out there that is much less expensive made by Nature's living, called Nature's living soil for autoflowers. Is anyone familiar with this? With my budget kind soil is pretty steep price wise, and this Nature's living soil seems to be a kind of concentration where you only use like a half a cup in a 3 gallon grow bag. I do not want to have to go to using nutes, and if this actually does what they say it does I can definitely afford this. Is anyone out there for miliar with this product?
 
Looking good my man ! Thats exactly how I start .
Just keep up with it as it grows. Keep the main cola same height as the rest and it will branch out and fill in.
