I started a northern lights autoflower indoor grow and here is my updated pics, only 2 of the 5 original plants survived. The tips of the leaves one has ti y little yellow spots, which I’m not too worried about. But i overfed the other and the leaves drooped for a day or two, now there is a bit of orangish yellow stress manifesting along some of the leaves and one of the leaves is still drooping severely. Any tips or suggestions ?
The first pic is the healthier of the two plants
Looks like they need water. The rest I’m not too sure about because the blurple. Yellow tips are just a hint of nutrient burn.
More water, more soil… different pots.
They were in the small 4x4 little beginner pots until a few days ago I put them in these , you suggest bigger pots or a different material pot??
Both… I would suggest at least a 5 gallon fabric pot (filled up to about 3 inches from the top). What kind of soil are you using?
Edit - how are you watering them? Type of water? How often? Are you pH’ing them? Do you have a pH and TDS meter?
Hello, just curious if you happened to look at your root development when you transplanted? At first glance it appears both of the last to people that posted could be correct. If you freshly transplanted into the current pots in the last few days and are experiencing these issues you may be experiencing lockout due to root bound. Especially if everything else is in check like moisture level, ph levels, etc.
Auto’s don’t tend to do well with transplanting. Next time, plant them in their final pot. 3-5 gallon
Did you over feed or give too much water or both? Too much water isn’t an issue if only done once. As you saw, the leaves came back up and recovered. Any tip issues you’re seeing is probably nutrient burn. I wouldn’t use the full ‘dosage’ on the nutrient label. Most growers only give 1/4 to 1/2 of that dosage.
No testers, using foxfarm organic soil ph lvl 6.3 to 6.8 , smart water which is 7 ph lvl w the ilgm nutrients
I did just recently transplant them a few days ago and the roots were kind of balled up in a square, kept the shape of the smaller grow pot they were sprouted in. I thought about breaking it apart but just put it straight into the new pot
Thank you, all of this is golden info
Watering with pH of 7 is high… the sweet spot in soil is 6.5.
@Password Ok, if that’s the case, unfortunately your probably going to want to replant as @Caligurl suggested. This time either cutting the dead bound up growth off, if its gotten to that point, or break the healthy parts up. Giving it a healthy wash down afterward. Personally I’d give it a bit of superthrive to help aid repair and accelerate new growth. Happy Growing!!
