First grow ever. I have 2 white widow autos that sprouted November 4th 2020 they have been doing great. Now I’m starting to worry about redish stems on one plant and yellowing with burnt tips on another. Any advice? I know nothing about nutrients and have only learned a little of the lingo used on the forums.
Actually it’s quite the opposite. Your plant is starving for food and eating itself. I know the kit said you wouldn’t need nutrients but that plant needs it. If you can, I would grab some asap and start feeding that girl.
Looks like the roots aren’t taking up the nutes from the soil, watering every other day, does the soil ever get dry? I grow in soil with 5 gal. pots and don’t need to water for 4-5days when they are drinking a lot. Roots might be drowning.
In soil we want to shoot for a ph from 6.3 to 6.8. 6.5 is the sweet spot.
To measure runoff you need to collect the water that drains from the bottom of the pot and measure the ppms and ph of the water with meters. You can get a ph meter and a TDS meter both from Amazon for around 20 bucks.
For simple and cost effective I would use Jack’s Nutrients. Alot of growers here are catching onto the trend because it’s so simple and cost effective. With Jack’s you would use the 321 formula and you feed them the same thing every time.
The 2 bags you would need from Jacks are
Part A 5-12-26
Part B 15-0-0
Then for the 3rd part you would need plain epsom salt. Any brand works.
Go to the Jack’s website and order it. Or you can get on ebay and grab one of the premade kits for around 30 bucks.
This is by far the easiest nutrient in the cannabis market and you get killer results
Per gallon of water it is
3.6 grams of part a
2.4 grams of part b
1.2 grams of epsom salt
Mix in the part a and the epsom salt in first and mix until its FULLY DISSOLVED. Very important step to make sure its dissolved completely before adding in the part b.
Then mix in the part b and mix until dissolved
Then ph the mixture to 6.5 for soil or 6.0 for hydro/coco
And that its. Do this every time you water the plants
@Jput I would like to add that if the solution is cloudy after mixing it wasn’t done correctly. I am using a very similar 3part fert called Masterblend and I dissolve all parts separately and then mix. Then I add Hydroguard last and then check PH.
