Im looking for help with one of my plants. Coming up on day 69 from seed, im growing in 10 gallon fabric pots, with COM Soil, under LEDs from SF and MH.
On day 52 I noticed I had overwatered, and began the slow process of recovering to near dry back, and slowly watering in small amounts.
These are a couple of photos that show some of the deficiencies, will upload a few more visuals and photos.
lots of lightening up, and the bottom leaves going yellow, that from what i guessed was a Nitrogen deficiency, so I added a helping of worm castings to them, as well as some lobster and shellfish meal to promote Calcium and Phosphorous uptake. in order to get them back healthy and green and praying.
I have seen lower leaves die out due to a basic lack of light and I think the plant is also concentrating on the upper growth where the buds will come from. They look healthy to me.
My opinion is that it may likely just be from inconsistencies post over watering. Swinging from super wet to super dry can definitely cause stuff that looks like this. What made you feel like you overwatered initially?
over the course of its germination, i have slowly increased amount of watering
I started my project with Spring water i would PH up to 6.3,
and now i have an air pump that i use to oxidize the tap water from 8.6 to PH down to 6.3,
and when i caught the overwateing, went from 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon and they showed it just around 72 hours after that this happened around the time of overwatering.
and i let it get to dryback more than once thinking i could avoid the earliest chance of root rot(?)
the photos are right around 2 weeks since,
just getting an idea of what the plant wants by more monitoring, so i noticed these deficiencies
my first reasoning was thinking ozmotic pressure is coming from the leaves when this happened, and it pulled the nutrients from their changing its color, and so it stunted till the roots could get more oxygen. then the soil was more clumpy than loose ,or drying back, the roots trying to reach but drying back instead it probably gave soil contents more anaerobic fats, fats from plants roots maybe coating minerals and making it seem like it roots were not reaching out into the pot. and as it recovered with new growth it the entire color shifted.
wondering should i search for a way to help it with sulfur, or micro nutrients like boron
though this is an indoor grow, my temps in the tent reached to 81F in the morning from about 10:00AM-11:00 AM, the last 2 days now, the changing of seasons has gotten us to near 70 as well just generally warming the place up, thermostat has a set schedule for most days that is varies only by 3 degrees when the Fan and Cool A/C kick on, i started the growing needing heat back in January, so dialing this into consistency was my biggest challenge
all was monitored, weeks 1-8 getting it all dialed in was rocking! for cooler nights and warmer days.
