Like I said, I went to that site and can't really figure out what exactly is causing the problem! HELP!!!!
What happened was I started the seed(s), "AutoFem Critical Jack and a Northern Lights/Skunk Hybrid" in a "seed starting mix" in a half cut dixie cup (after a good germination of course - shotglass until it sunk and then damp paper towel for 2 days until first root was showing). Once planted in that seed starting mix, two days later with one good watering they were poking their heads (had shredded the shell and were showing first two leaves - nice and GREEN!) and then it just kept thriving! I could tell by the plants size (3-4 leaf sets) after about a week and 1/2 that it needed a full size dixie cup and it needed to start "getting used" to the next step in soil. When I transplanted it all I did was cut the dixie cup and pulled the entire contents out (that stayed together rather well and you could see the roots on the bottom of the cup and sides, looking for more growing room). I then did nothing but transplant it into a
FULL SIZE dixie cup and surrounded the current "stuck together soil mix" by the new mix and of course filled in the bottom with it. Pretty much I just didn't break apart the old soil and throw it right into a different medium, didn't want to shock it! Here's the soil mix ingredients....
The same soil mix that will be used throughout my entire grow and the same mix thats been used on every grow - It consist of:
- An organic potting mix made by McDonald's Nursery (which they ASSURED me that their was no nutes in the mix - I even read the ingredients so I know and they are knowledgable people that work there!)
- Perlite
- Organic peat moss
- A
SPRINKLE (and when I say a sprinkle I
LEGIT mean hardly ANYTHING!) of 5-5-5 "Fox Farm's - Happy Frog" (which is like an on top/then water type of organic fertilizer BUT it does say, "for potted plants to mix in a teaspoon per gallon and mix in with soil". I NO BS used a two finger PINCH between two full size dixie cups! - I use it outdoors mostly but do like to add it in my potting mix as well, never had problems before!).
AND THAT'S ALL IT IS!!! I use nothing but organics from there on out! It will start getting fed after I know the BOTTLED SPRING WATER has pretty much washed away the Happy Frog, probably 2 weeks. Then both plants will get fed their Fox Farm Ferts, Grow Big for vegging and Big Bloom for flowering.... yes yes, I know I should have Tiger Bloom as well but don't have the money to purchase anymore at the moment and this is what I got... it worked on the last grow FLAWLESSLY!
What I did today was try to get it settled in and I don't know if this was a HORRIBLE idea or a semi-good idea! I boiled some filtered water (2 gallons and while it was boiling threw in ONE EGG worth of egg shells that sit in a closed container with a half of a lime peel that sits in the SAME container) I save all organic ferts throughout the winter that I eat in a tupperware container and then fertilize my outdoor garden with it in the spring (and OH BOY does it stink to HIGH HEAVEN!!! lol) But I through that in with the water as it boiled hoping to get some good acidity as well as calcium. Just something small to BOOST my water. I also put a 1/4 teaspoon of 5-5-5 fish fert in, with is like 1/10th of what they recommend! lol...
I'm thinking it's just getting used to the new soil that the roots are now penetrating, its so used to the seed starting mix, that I feel as if the yellowing, brown spotting and then eventually dying leaves are being caused by the shock of the new soil with either NOT ENOUGH nutes, or too many. Guess we'll find out soon because I just "watered" it with my concoction of a mixture! haha... I guess the only way to figure things out is trial and error, atleast that's the way its worked for me so far! 
WHAT DO YALL THINK??? NEED HELP! PICS AGAIN JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES!!!
Northern Lights/Skunk Hybrid - The worst of the two.... good air circulation and 85 degrees day/ 70 degree nights
Auto Fem Critical Jack - The better of the two... again, GREAT air circulation and 85 degrees / 70 degree nights
