Wow, that’s terrible… Have you figured out what’s going on?
I’m still a noob at growing, I’m on my 3rd grow at the moment, 5 weeks in.
My 1st grow was 4 different strains, 2 autos and 2 regular. I learned a lot with that grow. It was all messed up from start to finish. I used plastic 6 gallon pots. I never transplanted. I just started the seeds off in wet paper towels in a ziplock baggie. It took 2 days to germinate the seeds, after that I plopped them into the soil. I also just used whatever potting soil I had around. It was a mix of Miracle Grow/some garden shops dirt plus some Black Magic.
That 1st grow started off all bad…but they still looked better than yours in that picture. My leaves were all spotted and ugly. It turned out to be the ph level. It was between 7 & 8. Once I got some ph down and fixed the ph levels to between 6&7, the plants looked much better. I planted during the spring…so temps in the tent weren’t so bad. mid 80s. When the plants were in full bloom and very skunky, the temps in the tent one day shot up to upper 90s. The skunk smell disappeared. So I installed an a/c in the room with the tent and got the temps down to mid 80’s. Thru all that the plants still grew… My 3x3 tent was WAY overcrowded. I had a tough time reaching the back of the tent to water. I ended up with mexican sticks and seeds weed. I only ended up with maybe 3 30oz mason jars.
I adjusted to all my mistakes with the 2nd grow. 1 auto flower Northern Lights, in an airpot. It was a super hot summer. I had the a/c on 24/7 on high in the room, not in the tent with a humidifier in the tent. I also prunned the some of the sun leaves to encourage side branch growth…but I only did that for the 1st 3 weeks. After that I left it alone. I checked in on my plant 2-3 times a day to make sure temps, humidity and soil were all good. I just used my fingers to check the soil’s moisture levels. I had temps consistently in the low 80s, humidity in the mid 60s. For watering, I used tap water that I’d leave out for at least 24 hours before I’d treat it with ph down and or fertilizer. I fertilized every other watering and only ever a quart of water at a time.
What I ended up with was beautiful. I filled up 5 30oz mason jars with 1 plant. The mature plant filled up the 3x3 tent wall to wall and the buds were so heavy that even with netting, the tops were falling over.
my current setup: 3’x3’x6’ tent. 1,200 watt COB light, 660 cfm exhaust fan, 6" clip on fan. I used Bergman’s fertilizers, felt airpots.
I’m going to expand my setup with another tent. I found a 2.5’x5.5’x7’. I figure I can have 2 plants going at a time in the big tents and start 2 plants growing in the 3x3 tent when the big tent plants are a few weeks away from harvest.
My current and 3rd grow is an amnesia haze auto and a fem white diesel. I’m doing the scrog on the white diesel so it’s growing slow…it’s almost a foot tall with 16 side branches. I just plopped the amnesia have auto into the dirt.
I hope this 3rd grow goes better than the 2nd.
