I have two autos going started in July. One started o/a July 5 (blue cheese) and the other o/a 15 July (sweet skunk). SS is showing some yellowing. I’m growing using an ACI 64 Pro+ controller in a 2x4x6 tent with humidifier and 6” exhaust targeting a VPA range between .9 and 1.1. During daytime in the tent, typical to have 89 degrees F and 76% humidity resulting in 1.07 kPa. Should be the right environment for these 4-6 week old girls.
The BC plant developed the yellow between Saturday and Sunday and I think I gave it too much water is the likely culprit, although it could be hot soil?? I’m using FFHF which I did not pre-moisten. I planted the seed in the 7 gallon bag and she popped using 1-2 ml. On Saturday, I gave her 1-2 cups of RO applied around the outside edges of the bag, but didn’t get runoff - just too much dirt for that. The timing of the yellowing and the watering coincide so that’s my logic. The RO does have calmag added to ~230 ppm and ph’ed to 6.5.
I was giving them too much PPHD too. Measured the light and backed off a few levels. They were getting 500-600 depending on the plant. Temp in the tent went down 5 degrees
If you never pre moisten the soil before transplanting or planting in general i can almost bet the soil is to dry and the roots are hitting those dry pockets and causing the yellowing id recommend fully saturating the soil a good time
@LiesGrows i will start pre moistening for future grows to take that risk out of the equation for sure.
Watered Saturday so I am gonna just watch today and tomorrow for improvement or otherwise and if otherwise, I will water to good runoff with non adjusted RO. If improvement occurs in the next couple of days, I’ll water less.
Are you running organics or synthetic nutrients with this grow? If organics its best to keep the soil moist at all times if synthetic then you will want dry backs
I haven’t put anything in the RO yet other than a small dose of CalMag to help one of the plants recover from drowning early in July. Total ppm was around 230. I figure the soil has plenty of food in it until they get full watering. When it comes time soon to add nutes, I have the FF trio and JBs too which I believe are both organic.
When do you think I should start adding organic nutes?
FF trio id personally treat as synthetics impo they are closer to synthetics nutrients then organic they may have some organically derived ingredients but its not a true organic input and i dont know what JBs is lol sorry and as for when to start feeding id start at 1/4-1/2 recommend strength around week 4-5
Here is what they look like today. Not terrible, especially the big one which is a Royal Queen Sweet Skunk. Given what it looked like a few days ago… I’m happy. The small bushy one is a royal queen blue cheese. Night time in the tent coming upon lights on and they just got fed with Jacks and CalMag+ @LiesGrows@Lostgirl@OGIncognito@OGIncognito@DEEPDIVERDAVE@Growdoc@Growmoredank .
Sorry @T-ray With Autoflowers I do not believe there is a way to prolong veg… With regular feminized Photoperiod you can stretch out or even reveg a plant.
With autos, you get what you get. If anything is just a little off, autos don’t have time to recover. Photos, you just keep lights on veg schedule longer til they are where you want them before flip.
