From a fellow grower: This is only my second time growing and I’m having a little bit of trouble this time around. I water them every three days the humidity is at 62% and the temperature is at 69% what can I do to save my autoflower bubblegum plants. Ocean Forest soil and Fox Farm nutes. BoostGro LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 5000K Daylight + 660nm Red Linkable Indoor Plant Lighting Fixture Tubes (4 FT, Black).
Light is on 24 hours a day, no darkness.
Have you been feeding the plants with the FF nutes? You shouldn’t be. The plants are not large enough to have absorbed the nutrients in your soil yet, and Ocean Forest is already too hot for autos.
It also appears your lights are to high or not strong enough as all them babies look like they are stretching.
What Midwest said on the food. OF in those containers with plants that small would prolly last 4-6 weeks easy.
I expect so too. It would cost a small fortune to buy lighting for 6 plants and the OP is probably not aware of how much light it takes to grow cannabis.
Those are sunk. Burnt up from nutrients. Lesson learned. Time to start over. Do one or two under optimum lighting. If you can’t afford that right now, just wait until you can before wasting anymore expensive seeds.
That’s a damn shame. They’re definitely toast. You’re Fox farm soil should carry you through vegetation stage without having to feed them anything except H2O pH 6.5 and maybe a small shot of calcium magnesium after the first two weeks.
Basically 30 to 40 days is what your Fox farm soil is good for without feeling. Definitely want to lower your light as well on your next shot as the stretching is due to insufficient light.
Definitely make this a learning experience. Good luck to you
I feel you should put an extra two inches of soil get rid of any real leaves that are unrepairable by trimming them to save on the strength on the plant to try to bring them back. If this is new soil Fox farm ocean fresh nutrients already in there you can over nutrients quickly that’s what I use only. I feel the plants need more room in the pot and the lights are too far away all week.
Here’s a picture of me leaving too long inside Solo cups should have transplanted many many days earlier
I forget how quickly the octopus Roots can grow in Fox farm Happy frog ocean fresh and a hint of cultivation Nation autoflowers.
I’m still a rookie I would listen to the professionals. But that’s my two cents good luck. The one with the water ring is the one in the picture, Also if you look at my light I have a little level on it so you know your light is level little tricks these professionals on here teach us thank you everybody you’re awesome.
Lights are on 24 hours a day.
Lets try to savem. Will most likely stunt but grow. All top growth is green. Stretch is an issue. Soil is hot. Lets look for a fix. I suggest lower light. Fill pots till just below top leaves after removing the dead ones. Light water with zero nutes. Ph that water we need no added stress. Watch them. What we are looking for is new growth being solid. No nutes at all for a couple weeks. Pretty much all that can be done with what you have. Other option is drop new beans. Just my opinion. If the new growth wasnt green i would just start over. BTW that nute line is super hot. Had it before. Trashed all of it. Hated that stuff. I would use 2/3 recommended when feed time.
I also would suggest NO overwater. Better thirsty and watered a bit over wet and drowned. Once recovered and watering to runoff use the wet/dry cycle. Not a living soil so always moist not the way. Just my thoughts.
That light is only 60w based on the description. If on for 24/7 then need to put them about 6" above the plants.
