Autoflower SOS

This is my first time growing autos. Only my second indoor grow ever. First time was pretty successful with 3 photos.

This grow is 2 LSD autos and 1 bloody skunk auto. Grown in soil using pure blend pro nutrients. Just switched my light to a Mars Hydro TS1000. Started them with a different LED light. The light is currently 20 inches from the top of highest plant.

I’ve been feeding approx. 750ml of water every 2 days with half the suggested fertilizer on the bottle. Humidity levels usually around 50%. Temp varies from 20 to 24 celcius.

These plants just look hurting to me. They are in week 4, all showing signs of flowering. I’ve LSTd them to try to get a bit of a yield, but at this point is there anything I can do to save this grow and get some decent buds?

I cant tell you if this will work for you or not but mine looked like that right before x mas. Did a lot of reading over the holidays and found that when growing with leds you want the temps a little higher. Cranked up the baseboards so my room sits around 26 - 28 degrees and made a huge difference in the last week. Maybe read about leaf temps under leds and see if you think that will make a difference for yourself. Some of mine looked worse off then yours. Youll figure it out :v:

Thanks man, Temps in tent have also dropped since I switched lights. This mars hydro runs cooler than my old one. No base boards in my house, but I’ll add some extra logs to the wood stove ha ha!

My exhaust fan is on pretty low too

I would wait a few days on the watering then give them a real good soak then some litfa. As you watch your soil dry you can see in your plants where the sweet spot is. At first your plants will droop bit as time goes by it will dry out and you will see your plants start to shine. After that dig around in your soil, get a feel for it. I say prolly 2 days after a good watering you will see what I’m talking about

I had a similar issue; I’m not totally knowledgeable enough to diagnose it but some others have mentioned it.

Give them a little space, they might be waterlogged. It’s scary as shit to see them shrivel up (some of mine still look worse than yours) but they do bounce back with LITFA. For me, learning to grow is learning to not be an active part of it. I know they have food and water. All I can do is make sure the environment is friendly for them and let them grow.

A week of no water and then a light watering, I still am dealing with this.


It is staying alive just fine, and some the others have bounced back to various degrees.
