Hi everyone. This is my first grow and I’ve been reading as much as I can. My seedlings have developed 3 brown spots and yellow tips. I can’t seem to find what is wrong. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong? I spray the soil twice a day and try to wipe off the droplets.
I have them in solo cups with Bush Doctor (coco coir). They will be transplanted to FFHF and FFOF. Here are my numbers.
ILGM Auto white widow and auto Gorilla Glue 4
-Age of plant 14 days since she germinated
-Method: Bush Dr in solo cup
-Vessels: Solo cup then they will go to 10 gal fabric bags
-PH and TDS: ph has been 7.4 but I just dropped it 2 days ago to 6.4 TDS:?
-PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution: 201 ppm, 427 EC
-Method used to measure PH and TDS: Aprena Blue lab and a TDS pen
-Indoor or Outdoor: indoor grow tent 2x2x4
-Light system: Spider Farms SF2000, 200w dimmer
-Actual wattage draw of lights.?
-Current Light Schedule: 18:6
-Temps; Day, 70 night 65 degrees
-Humidity; Day, 80%-91% night, 60%
-Ventilation system; Ac Infinity get up, 6” cloudline intake
Out of likes. Definitely need to transplant those into their forever home as @Mefis mentioned. Will be risky with the 2 in the same cup. Autos have a short veg to flower period. I sprout mine in solo cups (coco) then after 10-12 days I put them in 3 gallon fabric pots. I didn’t see a medium mentioned, that’ll determine your watering/feeding schedule. I would t worry about the few little spots, could be a little burn from water droplets, they look nice and healthy but need transplanting
I’ll go transplant them now. I wasn’t thinking when I put two in a cup. Insert palm to forehead. It most have been the COVID “fog” when I planted them.
The 10 gal fabric has FFOF on the bottom and FFHF on the top half.
Do I add my Jacks 321 now or wait?
that’s a great way to layer those 2 soil mediums. The Happy Frog is a little more sensitive to sprouts than the Ocean Forrest with the Ocean Forrest being great for veg-1st week of flower and the roots should be solid by then. The Happy frog is loaded with all the beneficial microbes needed to collect and store nutrients for your little jewels. When I transplant I wet the hole fairly good and keep as much of the original soil surrounding the roots. Top them off with a good watering at 6.5 PH. Soil likes a wet/dry cycle so important to water to run off on water or feed days. You can start a nutrient regiment around week 5
It appears my pots are too big. Oh well, Too late now. . I have to get a different humidifier bc the plant saucers take up the entire bottom. I’m such a noob.
Thanks for the help fellow friends. Lesson learned. Next time.
Looks great! Watering to run off may be difficult right now in 10 gallon pots. Personally I would water a nice ring about 6” around their base. That will promote those roots to spread out and search for the water
I have a couple other questions if you don’t mind?
Currently the lights are at 30%. When will need to bump them up?
Seedlings are 17.5” from the light board. Is that too far away?
Is it okay to have a fan blowing on them? Will it dry them out? Get wind burn?
Are the yellow tips okay?
I purchased Bergman’s seedling booster from ILGM. It’s 11-40-13. Can I use this or just hold off because the plants are in FFHF? I don’t want to nuke them. I accidentally killed 3 outdoor ones 8 or 9 years ago when I poured fish emulsion fertilizer on them. Rookie mistake.
Take always- start Jacks 321 week 4/5 and feed every 3 days?
Thank you for answering all my questions. I pro is I’m done for now.
Thanks again!
I use a phone app called Photone for adjusting my light. Right now I would keep that light height Height and intensity for another week through transplant. I increase this every few days through veg and settle around a DLI of 35.
Is it okay to have a fan blowing on them? Will it dry them out? Get wind burn?
Yes but you’ll want it to oscillate so they get a slight breeze with a break in between the oscillation
Yes, a little nitro burn but expected in the FF mediums
PH water at 6.5 for the next 5 weeks. I take a run off sample around week 4 and check the PPMS. I start adding nutes when they get around 800 and maintain 950-1000 through the rest of the grow
I set up my journal but when I try to tag people, it doesn’t show up highlighted or anything. I called it Rookie grow with GG4.
I accidentally turned my humidifier to high and just checked on it 24 hrs later and I created a rainforest. The girls LOVED it, me not so much. I have to figure this thing out.
