Hi 👋 could anyone lend their expertise and reassure me my plant is ok? Thanks so much





Hi there, I’m concerned my plant might be too dark or droopy or suffering from something I’m not noticing. If anyone could let me know if she looks ok that’d be great. Tysm

I am not the best plant doctor…others feel free to chime in.

Your plant is a month old in hot soil…but is seems like you are adding nutes too. Most autos do not like that heavy of a feed…will be interesting to hear what TDS you are feeding. My experience is you can go 4 weeks or so before adding nutes to hot soil…but unfamiliar with your nutes/soil.

Your plants are now in flower, I think you should switch light to flower mode..

You shouldn’t need any nutes in that soil for 4-6 weeks. And you will need lots more light to flower that plant. Might want to check runoff next watering, good chance you are locking out some nutes with adding more to the soil, it will lock out and ph will drop.:oncoming_fist:

He is growing autos, no need to switch lights.

You would also benefit from a lot more light. 75 watts is not enough to properly flower out one plant.

Gotta agree on lack of light. Try pushing to 250 watts. Possible lack of light combined with overwatering

I did not realize that the autos would not benefit from the flowing mode on the light (more red) and a few more photons hitting the plant

I’m just going by experience. Light is the biggest factor for growing, whether autos or photos. Other factors are important of course, but weed loves light more than anything.

I’ve grown blueberry cheese, cream mandarine, purple banana punch, og kush, ak47, critical neville haze, cry baby. Mostly photos but a couple of autos too. Cant remember any others, but all started out with 150 watts at the seedling stage, until cotyledons disappeared. Once i have about 4 or more real leaves, i start upping the light.

As a young plant with a couple or more nodes, i push the light to 250, and increase every week. Depending on how many plants, i push till i have 500 / 550 on a single grow and with a multi plant grow, i switch my LED to a bigger one that i can push to 720 watts if needed.

I’ve done the above on every grow

i trust you far more lol.
conveniently, i was looking at a Viparspectra xs2000 for sale online.
its 250w.
also do you think it’d be possible to grow 2 autos in 61x61 tent?

thanks for the help
