New grower, advice welcome!

At 75% lighting. It bounces around a tiny bit and I’m using an app on my iPhone. So I’m not sure if it’s the best reading.

I need a diffuser apparently to measure the light accurately on my phone

Lol gotcha it worked haha. It’s high. I just turned it down to about 40% light and with the paper over the lens it’s about 800-1000 depending on where it is. At 75% light it was at like 1500-1700 lol

I had some that did something similar to the plant in the photo, especially with the leaves looking weak, droopy and curling down. They did it shortly after I transplanted them into a new pot, about the same age as yours, and after a few waterings and turning the lights down a little bit, they came back strong.

Leaves look bad on the afghan. Or legs. I did flush the afghan like 4-5 gallons. Had to get ph Down. I think run off is 6.8-6.9 ph and 600 ppm. @OGIncognito any thoughts or advice? The other one isn’t like this, It seems like it was from the flush.

Plant leaves resemble a Potassiums deficiency Grow Bro and the 6.8-6.9 PH in the medium is preventing potassium uptake, potassium deficiencies are usually accompanied by a calcium deficiency as well. Let me tag in @Budbrother for a second opinion :love_you_gesture:

Yup K def.
It’s available at a wide pH range so not caused by pH. Lockout would be my guess, but just did a flush; not that. Back to needing more K and light intensity adjusted down or plant moved to shadier part.

Edit: 600 ppm - hungry

Thank you! Appreciate the quick responses! @Budbrother @OGIncognito I will raise the light up a few inches to about 20" from top. I will give her more feed soon. I want her to dry out first. Or do you think give her some K now?

I would let it hit the dry cycle then feed full strength with a PH of 6.3-6.5 :love_you_gesture:

Bro, hope all is well. Been MIA starting 2 each of amnesia haze and gdp, both autos.

DJMJ’S girl seems finicky, so what would you cosider “full strength?”

I think salts were at play, to a point. He got as high as 7.3 so that’s well into K’s pH preference.
Also, I’m thinking light burn.
You know how that’ll have you chasing your tail.

Depending on your water source TDS but I would say 800-1000 PPMs :love_you_gesture:
