Hey guys, so I have a single grow under my belt, and it seemed to go well the first time. This time I'm using the same soil method in a grow tent. The problem this time is that the plants are growing super slow.
The first grow was a random bag seed (which turned out the best) and then 4 White Rhino, which all turned out nicely. Only problems I had were that some of the bottom leaves were yellowing and it turned out it needed more nutes. All was fixed and never ran into a single other problem.
This time they are growing SUPER SLOW! But this time they are also more sativa than indica; Arjan's Haze #2. That's pretty much the only difference. I am using a soil that has slow release nutrients, I know I know, BAD IDEA. But it seemed to work out fine with the first grow.
Anyways, it looks like nutrient burn to me. Because the tips start browning and getting crispy and then the whole leaf dies. I've flushed the soil VERY well until I didn't see any yellow in the draining water. I've done that a couple of times now and it seems to help them the next day. But they are in a state of super super slow growth.
I've had them for 2 months now and they still look like seedings. What should I do? I feel helpless at this point. Is it because of the sativa's strain that it cannot handle as many nutes as the indica's can? Is it worth holding out longer and hopefully flushing out all the nutes from the soil until they start growing properly? Should I just go buy some more seeds and start over again in nutrientless soil?
