Ok, this is my first grow and first day on this site. Thanks for your help and feedback. I want to learn how to improve with each grow.
First three photos taken with HPS light on. Last 4 photos light shut off. Now I don't know if things are really wrong or if it was the color of the HPS throwing my camera off? What do you think?
I see the tips are burnt with the HPS light shut off. Is that too much food?
With the light on, the leaves appeared lime green to yellow on all 4 plants since about 3 weeks into veg. I was using a MH bulb through veg period. Since, flowering I only see the plants under the HPS light.
So here is what's happening...
Germinated seeds on 12/16. I completed a 4 week veg cycle at 24/0 and flowering is 12/12. I'm currently in the 3rd week bloom.
I'm using organic soil and transitioning (per the bottle instructions at this period of bloom, I'm using the recommended ratio of both Roots Organics Grow and Bloom. I will be lessening the amount of Grow further at the next feeding per Bloom bottle instructions. I spin the containers 90 degrees every day and rotate position every water or feeding.
Ph in 6.0 out 6.5. Alternate feedings and water about every 5-6 days in 3 gal pots. I overflow the water and feed by 20% into the pans and remove excess. I'm using a 400 HPS with cool tube hood and inline exhaust to Phresh filter in attic. Cool air intake comes from my home office at 70 degrees. Room temps are 82-67. Water is tap at 6.5 ph (before adding nutrients) and I let water sit for 3 days or more before use. Humidity is at 40% and I have a small fan pointed at the conopy. Thesmall fan shuts off with the light but the exhaust stays on 24-7.
I have had just a few yellow fan leaves appear at the mid to lower part of plant since 4th week of veg. I remove them when they get crispy but most is coming from lower portion of plants. I have added a foliar Iron spray 5 days ago. I did see a green up of the entire test plant. Take a look at the photos and any advice would be appreciated on anything I can do on this first grow. I see a lot greener plants on this site.
My friend and I both have vapes and use a total of about 1/4 oz every couple months. You can laugh now. So, I'm thinking these four plants should keep me stocked for awhile. What's a good gram production goal for a newb with this setup? Probably anything over zero and try not to kill them right!
On my next grow, should I reduce the number of plants to two? It's not too much extra work to do four or six. I'm wondering, based on my setup, am I better off going less plants and letting them veg longer and trim them?
Thanks again for the advice.
