hey guys so got an indoor grow i have a clone (indica strain) i did a transplant into a 2 gallon pot on the 25 of june, but im noticing very light green on the edges on leafs from the new shoots coming in, im guessing it could be a nitrogen deficiency? so maybe i need to start feeding her im kinda confused on what it could be, i only been giving her water and i got fox far ocean forest soil any help would be great i did water on july 8 too

Thanks again!! here are some pictures of what im talkin bout

It looks like a ph problem..do you ph your water...its not nitrogen deficency...or you wetting all your soil in the pot with a small bit of run off...

Yeah, simply pH anything your watering the plant with to 6.5 before you water.
Now don't worry about the pH of the soil as it will self pH to the specific plants needs, as the living bio's in the soil adjust to the plant. (with the use of a quality soil)

If you attempt to pH the run off. all your getting is the run off's pH,,,,,NOT the pH of the soil!!!
Soil pH "swings" naturally !!

When watered, the pH of the soil will rise. As the soil dries back out,,,,the pH will fall back down. What this pH "swing" does for the plant is to cover the range of optimum available uptake requirements by the various nutrients to be "used" or "made available" to the plant in relation to the pH of the soil.

If you would like to understand more about soil pH and the living things in the soil that go a LONG way in controlling it......I suggest you buy and read this (a must for anyone wanting to grow organic);

If your using synthetic nutrients,,,be SURE to use a "zyme" product to keep the living bio's in there and working.

You knew that Racer. You just wanted me to clarify, didn't you?

it looks like magnesium deficiency. most people(including me) skimp on the mag when they love it. i think its impossible to feed too much of it

I start my clones on a 500ppm nute solution every other feeding. Ph'd h2o Ph'd nutes Ph'd h20. Use a root excelerator Or a cloning solution in conjunction with your nutes
