    Blackish buds? Spread to leaves. Good or bad?

    My pH as of yesterday when the photos were taken was a solid 6. I'm not really sure what caused this plant. It was a runt seedling wise then just randomly shot up with vertical growth without much other type of growth. Leaves have been curled like that since it was 3" tall. Also the first...

    Blackish buds? Spread to leaves. Good or bad?

    Hey everyone. So I'm in the first few weeks of flowering for my auto flowers and I've noticed a few differences between plants of the same strain. I'm growing hydroponically with an ebb and flow system. Using a 400w hps along with general hydroponics flora nutrients. The particular strain I'm...

    pH problem, nute burn, or something else? Hydroponic

    Hey guys. So I'm at about week 6 in my first grow and am running a homemade ebb and flow hydroponic system. I'm growing a couple different auto flowering strains and they all have been doing very well. My setup includes a 400watt hps as well as an exhaust system. I just changed out my...

    Auto Seedlings Stunted, Brown crispy leaves, hydroponic

    So I wasn't giving the plants enough nutes! The lack of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were causing the stunting, yellowing leaves and curling. I'm up to about 75 percent what GH calls "aggressive vegging" and floodin every 2 hours. The plants are loving it! I guess auto flowers maybe aren't...

    My water source is tap water, it has a neutral pH 6.9, and is very soft, basically 0 ppm. It does have chlorine but I try to add new water right after flood so air stones can help evaporate it quickly My nutrients contain both calcium and magnesium as well. I'm using the flora series from...

    Auto Seedlings Stunted, Brown crispy leaves, hydroponic

    So I added nutes yesterday to the res at about 1/4 the strength the GH bottle said for vegging. I originally was flooding 3 times but after waking up this morning I don't know if maybe it's overwatering as a few plants seem to be wilting (or maybe curling inward). Growth looks like its...

    Auto Seedlings Stunted, Brown crispy leaves, hydroponic

    I think all my researching confused me because so much information was assuming it was a soil grow. Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to start slow and add maybe 1/4 or 1/2 strength nutes to the res and adjust pH and see how the plants react. Ill upload photos in the next few days. Also...

    Auto Seedlings Stunted, Brown crispy leaves, hydroponic

    I've read (or atleast thought I did) that autoflowers dont like any type of nutrients until weeks 3-4? or does that only apply with soil since the soil contains smalls amounts?

    Auto Seedlings Stunted, Brown crispy leaves, hydroponic

    Hey everyone, This is my first grow and having next to no experience with growing, I'd hope to get some advice on my current situation from some seasoned growers. My setup is a homemade ebb and flow. I have a 20 gallon reservoir, going to a tray with 11 6" net pots. I'm growing all auto...
