Hello everyone, I'm a first time grower and I've been having a couple of issues. I'd be very happy to get some feedback from the community here. I am just wrapping up my 6th week here and my girls are starting to flower. All three are autos. From probably the second or 3rd week, I've had varying degrees of yellowing in these 3 plants.
Plant 1 seems to be the hardiest one. It's been a light lime green colour the whole time. Yellowing and brown spots have mostly been on lower fan leaves but are starting to appear closer to the top. Of the three, this plant looks healthiest, but had the most burnt tips. Leaf stems are turning pink/red. This plant has a runoff Ph of 6.15 and a runoff EC of 1.25.
Plant 2 has been bouncing back and forth between drooping and perking up. It started a similar balanced lime green colour, but lately the green parts are getting greener and the yellow parts are really standing out more. Yellowing started on bottom and is now throughout. More browning throughout the plant than plant 1, but less burnt tips. Leaf stems are darker red than plant 1. This plant has a runoff Ph of 6.14 and a runoff EC of 0.95.
Plant 3 has been a weird one. It was super dark and small at first. Now it is suddenly as tall as plant 1 but the leaves look very sad lately. Because the greens are darkest on this plant, the yellowing really pops. The most brown spots of the 3 plants, and some very curly leaves around the buds. Was drooping like crazy earlier this week, but perked up a bit. It has less burnt tips than plant 1, but more than plant 2. Leaf stems are also turning a pink/red colour. This plant is in a 3 gallon pot, where the others are in 5 gallons. This may be why the runoff is so different, with a Ph of 6.26 and a EC of 0.75.
When plants 2 and 3 started to droop, I thought I was under watering them. Now, as I've regulated their watering schedule, I'm not sure what the issue is. I am alternating one day with full feed, one day with just water (recently I've switched from plain Ph adjusted water to still adding the calmag and silica supplements). I'm up around 1.7 EC on my feeding days, and I usually Ph to between 5.9 and 6.0.
Seems to be varying degrees of the same problem possibly in all 3 plants, but I don't really know. Any suggestions are very welcome and appreciated.
