I’m about seven weeks into my first grow, The pictures are of my most mature ladies so far… I’m runing organic, live soil, It;s made from choice garden dirt, compost, vermiculite, pearlite and coco… The coco came from the cheapest block I could find- and was completly unamended… The soil seemed rich, light and loamy… Germination and seedlings seem great until week 2 to 3… At which point I started to see yellowing, fading, and some spots… in particulare the cotyldon leaves turned crispy in about 2-3 days…
My round one plants recovered, but are now backsliding again- we are currently at 7 weeks, the plants are skywalker autoflowers… And I’m not sure whats going on… Origionally I thought perhaps light burn (no)… Then I thought overwater (no) then I thought I lett it get to dry and the coco got wacky (maybe), Then I thought nute lockout due to low PH (maybe)… I flooded my plants with tap water (just left to sit out for a few weeks)tried a little epsom foliar ( I think it helped), and kept lightly feeding tomatone food… They recovered , grew but now-- you can see the pictures… My tap PH should be about 7-7.5 ph, and unremarkable…(from water company) But I have shitty tools and can’t get good readings on anything…
My next batch of soil was enhanced with 10lbs of worm castings, some lime, some peat… and left to sit for about a month… new seedlings are doings the same thing at the 2 week mark… They go from a vibrant healthy green, to a faded lime green over week 2-3 and growth slows way down…
I have begun using cal-mag with waterings about 3 days ago, I seem to have stabilized but I’m not sure if im recovering, don’t really know whats going on, and I’m hoping you guys can help…
I’m thinking I got some very wacky coco, and didn’t wash it or pre-treat it and it’s messing up my grow.
