Seedling/Veg-over/under watering?

First time grow, almost 40 days in 3 babies gone, because of ignorance🤦🏾‍♂️.First I thought I had all Autoflowers, only one autoflower. I started in peat pots, and transplanted them still in the first week of seedling, did this because I added epsom salt in soil, (didnt understand germination,seedling,veg/flower timing with autos or photos). Only the Gelato survived the transplant. 37 days from seed/ Godfather OG 21days from seed/Gorilla Glue 16 days from seed/ Girl Scouts Cookies 13 days from seed(Auto). Plants looked pretty good, but not watering properly, just now learning about run off. Have a PH meter and was noticing a lot of dry spots in my pots, mostly around edge. gave all pots a big drink after a nice feeding of black strap molasses,lemon water mix, about 6 hours later start noticing black on leaves, should I let dry out before trying to treat the leaves.

What was the ph of your molasses lemon water mixture?

What soil are you in?

Looks like you got the leaves wet when you watered and your light burned them. Water on the leaves will act like a lens when the lights are on magnifying the intensity and burning the leaf tissue. When you water plants this size, water in a ring outside of the canopy to get those roots looking for water. If for some reason you need to get the leaves wet, always do it just before lights out to prevent the burn.

It looks to me your ph is way off, I’m not sure what medium you’re in, it doesn’t look cannabis friendly. At this stage you really should be just watering only at a PH of 6.5 with a loaded soil.

It looks to me you’re adding things hoping to fix a problem based off a deficiency guide but the real problem is the soil ph.

Give us some more info and we can help, great community here.

I couldn’t tell you, only other than my soil is leading more alkaline (high 7’s, don’t have digital meter), and it’s miracle grow with peat moss and some rejuvenate potting soil

Working with this kind of meter

I would highly recommend good ph and tds meter. It’s a must.

I would suggest coco as a medium, it’s forgiving. Just test before and test after that’s all.

My next question is, is this bag seed?

Throw the 2 prong meter away, gonna cause you huge problems

Will do on the meter, short on all supplies, had to make do, hopefully this week I can grab meter supplies needed

Coco is the soil (medium). Sorry I forgot you listed the strains… my question was are these paid for seeds.

Yes, don’t know if I should mention name, but reputable,. How do I go about mixing in?

Well that’s the thing… it would require for them just mixing in.

Looking at your picture , above and clip below,

I see an efficiency negativity due to exhaust restriction (“U” bend in exhaust).
Two possible better solutions:

  1. Obtain 90-degree elbow for exiting tent from exhaust motor.
  2. Mount motor vertical, exhaust out of tent into Vertical mounted filter.
    3, use elbow external for horizontal filter…
    I prefer to have motors inside the tent for les noise in lung room.
    Good growing to you
