Yellow edges on leaves of autoflower 3rd week

[MartinJane]

Hi!

I´m a total noob and have run my fírst 5 plants autoflower now which is an OG Kush from High Supplies Holland
for 3 1/2 week. The plants are great and growing fine, have been looking very good but now two of them have
some yellow coming along on leaves close to top since yesterday.
I moved to 10 liter jugs a week ago, am on ok ph water, cob led lights and mild nutes that are NPK 8-2-6 every
second watering letting the dry out in between. I moved the "1500W" LEDs closer from 110 cms to 80 yesterday
and just tried putting them back up some thinking it might just be the LEDs.

Fimmed 4 of 5 yesterday.

Nitrogen levels I Think is ok and Ph too. Ideas?

Hey MartinJane welcome to this forum. How about a pic of the whole plant. Although it is a good picture and based on that pic I would agree with you on the problem being the lights being moved up and down. Compounded by the fact you chopped their heads off as well - they are going to be mad at you for a few days. So don't expect any changes for a couple of days - in fact you hope to see no changes, good or bad. So once she figures out what to do next - let her grow for a week before you attempt any LST.
I really like the deep green color - adding any calcium or magnesium supplement?.
In future once you germinate your auto - plant into final pot - as in don't transplant. That didn't help either.

Thanks for the feedback Canuck147!

Yes I´m pretty sure they´d like to punch me hard in the face, but as you can see on the Three last photos here
there´s good stuff going on with the Fims and the two yellowed (or just less green?) are two of the four that I fucking missed.
So they´re all in ten liter buckets to understand the scale.

I Think overall it´s going damn well this is on day 25 and they´re already getting a bit bushy looking forward to what
will transpire now that the tops are Dividing... And it´s not worse today so I Think it´s cool?!

I got a "1500 W" Led Cob hanger from China for under 100 dollars on Ebay that seems to do the job absolutely great,
full spectrum light so good for both veg and flower.

Morning MartinJane, nice young plants, are you using cal-mag ?
One of your plants with the yellow edges looks like she has the claw, a little, from to much nitrogen, really dark green color.
Anyway good luck, and Welcome to GWE.

Hi!!
Ahhh think you might have something there, no not Cal-Mag
But N-Rich soil AND nutes with a lot of N too, so maybe I should go to water only since transplanting now seems wrong.
Then add the AN Big Bud stuff I got a few Days ago two weeks into Bloom? Realize that it’s a bit wrong with that nitrogen Rich doil but they are definately thriving...

 

[MartinJane]

Would you transplant into more neutral soil or stick
With the soil and flush it?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning MartinJane, if your ph going in and coming out are in the right zone, I wouldn't do anything but cut back on all the nutrients a little, give her some cal-mag, with good phed water.
The soil I use sometimes is a little heavy on the Nitrogen, at first when the plants are young, but they always grow out of it, when they get older, yours are gonna be fine. But young plants don't need much nutreints
Pretty plants MartinJane.

 

[MartinJane]

Thanks so much I think you are right will skip nutes
for now good stuff!!

cheers

Looking real good. Once they grow up a bit, add more growing medium to your pots- different kind if you want - but don't transplant any more. Let them grow.

So the ladies are now a month old and 14-16 inches high, the FIMs I did on wednesday seems to have worked
fine on all 5. Any ideas for LST on Auto OG Kushs after Fimming? Just tie them down or some other technique?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning MartinJane, what size pots are they in ?
Lst is super easy, just bend them over and tie them down, so they are all even and flat like a table, that way they get the same amount of light, and grow buds the same size.
Read Nebulas articles on bending over , it doesn't even slow them down, an you will get lots more colas.

Thanks for the feedback daas, they´re in 10 liter buckets (2.6 gallons?) since a 1 1/2 week and I will try the basic LST you suggested
and read Nebula´s piece too. I´m on day 28 now so I expect another month till flower so I guess I could do another FIM round or two as well
after that and the healing from the first round?
Cheers--MartinJ
