I'm growing an indica bagseed in foxfarm soil with foxfarm trio of nutes. My first grow. In a closet with a 60w led panel that's supposed to be equal to 400-600w hps. 1 gallon pots. Some bottom leaves are turning yellow, which could be nitrogen deficit or from not getting any light. Some of the higher fan leaves are getting dark spots then wilting and dying. I thought it was nutrient burn at first so I flushed the soil with plain water the last two waterings, but now it's showing signs of over watering. Can you guys make any recommendations as to what's wrong, besides over watering? Any tips to maximize yield? I'm 2 weeks into flowering, problems started when I started using the big bloom and tiger bloom fertilizer, which is what led me to think it was nutrient burn. Should I just pick off all those dying little leaves at the bottom? Thanks
This is the worst looking of my 5 plants
I think the biggest thing here is she needs a bigger pot. Your only going to yield 1oz if your lucky in 1 gal in soil. Are you certain there’s no pest problems? Seems a little odd to have so much dying growth down below. you shouldn’t really “flush” your plants this can lead to over watering, over fertilizing, and ph lockouts. Basically if you feel your plant is over fed you water with plain Ph water on your normal watering. Maybe a couple times before you come back to 1/2 strength nutrients. With that being said I would remove all the dying growth below as it’s just wasting energy and let the plant focus on the top buds. Hope that helps
I have inspected the plants, including under the leaves, and never seen a single bug on them. At this point in their growth do you think bigger pots would even make a difference? It's already past the stretch. I'm fine with one is per plant, as I have 5. I was doing more of a sea of green type grow anyway, I never planned on big plants. I will remove the dying growth and water less frequently with more dilute nutrients. On my next grow I definitely plan to add more lights and maybe use coco instead of soil. Also, I will top each plant at least twice. Thanks for the input
I highly recommend coco. You can check out my YouTube channel and see what we got going on with FloraFlex nutrients and coco. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSjBsN5aB1FPd3zUHvr01tw
@Admin BLG thanks for the advice. I lollipopped the plants by removing small lower branches and did some defoliation to expose the bud sites to light. The other plants are looking pretty healthy, I'm not really losing leaves anymore. The one in the pictures still looks droopy even though I let I dry for like a week land the soil is bone dry. Will that ever get better? As for the coco, I think I will do that soon, but I will probably try monstercropping these plants just for fun
Hi all
this is day 28 I am transplanting her today into a bigger pot. My question today is how high should I have my lights once it’s in a bigger pot.
