Can anyone let me know if this is normal or is my plant a mutant and slow starter ?They are sour diesel auto and are about 3 weeks old. Happy frog soil.
If you can, take pics under normal lighting, the blurple is suoer hard to see around. It looks like overwatering though. Soil looks really damp. Are you going through drought/drench cycle?
No it is not normal for plants to be that color. Just kidding. No really.
As for the strang vegetation. If I’m seeing correctly it will grow out of it.
Not sure though without a better picture.
My bad. They look healthy but like it hasn’t pushed itself or stretched. Curious what would be the issue if any besides crazy auto flowers. Have had one other do it but it did outgrow eventually and had one do it and died.
Soil looks soaked. Let it dry out before adding more. By that I mean till the pots are lite.
How much light are you pushing.
Ya, man I’m gonna say overwatering. It happens and can be fixed. Like @DRsDank stated, let it get dry. Like, bone dry. Cannabis in soil likes to get really dry after a big ol soak. Which leads me to…
… You got s smaller plant. After she dries out, and is ready for her next watering, water around the edge of the pot. I don’t believe yours is ready for a full on soak to runoff. Maybe just get the soil wet the next watering or two. You should still be fine withour nutrients for a while.
I water with a spray bottle nothing heavy yet and pots are light. 600 watt led lights on veg now
In veg not sure how much light it’s putting out but was thinking that also was a light or soil was to tight. Roots struggling some. Just not sure they seem to grow out if it sometimes
Spray bottle watering for now pots are light. But will adjust lights and watch watering to much. Like my 3 round with autos and so far has been good.
Definitely appreciate all the help I can get.
600 true watts or just called a whatever 600 that is actually 60 watts.
It does appear from the looks of how close the nodes are that it is getting to much light.
Believe it’s supposed to be 50/50 for veg and then flower but I usually leave in veg till then. Had lights higher than are now
Most are but would still like to know what light it is.
Is this an amazon light with the veg/flower switch? If so, most of these, if not all, are way bottom of the totum pole. Not saying they wontget you to the finish line, but there are really much better options at pretty price fimriendly costs.
Yes I agree there it seems even when on both switches still not enough.
A lot of reputable makers are about to have black friday and christmas sales. I would jump over to HLG dot com and just subscribe. They send out subscriber deals with codes for discounts and stuff. I got a like new 350r from the refurb page with a 25% discount.
Do you normally have the blue/ purple light on for the plant?
If yes, that will stunt the plant to some degree. Plants mainly use red and blue light, red to grow tall, blue to grow outwards. If you give them lots of blue light and not enough red, you get short bushy plants. If you give them red light and no blue, they get long and skinny.
Plants also need green and white light. Ideally you want the light to look white and have a 6500K rating. A light with a 6500K rating should provide blue, red and white light, which is what the plants like.
If you have LED lights and can set blue, red, green, uv and white, have the blue, red and white about equal and less uv and green. The light should look white though, not pink, blue, orange, purple or whatever.
Are you spraying the soil or plant. Over spray on leaves will cause the light to magnify the droplets and burn the leaves.
Yes I will definitely look into new lights these were to get started.
Yes they are led lights the purple is just picture from phone basically it’s more white in veg.
I spray around the plants so roots will seek the water.
Light only has two switches veg and flower. Have good luck in past getting them on up and going but these seem to be doing there own thing. But will see about upgrading lights I normally start indoors and move outside to finish.
