This seedling of mine has a lime green colour on the new growth and tiny little lime green spots on a few leaves, I've looked all over but i cant find a definite answer to my problem. The only things that look vaguely similar to me are sulphur and iron deficiencies. If anyone knows what this could be and is willing to share their information it would be greatly appreciated.WP_20171002_17_50_43_Pro.jpg WP_20171002_17_50_18_Pro.jpg

And another thing I want to point out which I only noticed now is that the leaf seems to be much thinner where the light green spots are, if I look at the leaves from the under side, i can see the light coming through the areas where the spots are.

Cool, thanks man, will do. Im probably just overthinking stuff, since this is my first indoor grow.

Yeh as long as you wait until the pot is super light when you pick it up before watering you should be fine. I would go with an organic ferterlizer personally, its a lot harder to mess things up with organics. When do you plan on transplanting to larger pot?

Yeah, I am using organic nutes, And im gonna transplant soon, maybe tomorrow even, ive heard that a very general rule, is that when the leaves have extended to the rim of the pot, you should transplant. Is there any truth to this.

Idk about that but as long as the plants roots are developed enough so that it doesn't come apart when you transplant

Ok cool, so do you think now would be a good time, to pot up? its about 2 weeks old, from seed. and the current container is about 350ml (which is about 0.1 gallons i think) sorry I use metric.

Just an update on the plant, the problem seems to be getting rapidly worse. The new growth is twisted, cramped and abnormal, with a light green colour. There also seems to be more light green spots appearing on the slightly older leaves, but not the first set of true leaves or the cotyledons. The edges of most of the leaves also feel quite dry. I am most probably gonna just start over, but I would love to know what the problem is here, from what I have found I think this might be the beginning of a calcium deficiency, but I could be completely wrong. If anyone does know what this could be please let me know.WP_20171003_23_30_53_Pro.jpg WP_20171003_23_30_39_Pro.jpg

Looks a lil funky but honestly not that bad, if you've been feeding stop feeding for awhile and if you haven't feed it in awhile feed some. Over the course of a whole grow I may only feed a hand full of times with organics so don't feed every watering or every other watering.

I have even feed a plant only once from start to finish and it turn out great.

Yeah, I am growing in coco though, for my first time by the way, which does require frequent feeding, but I will tone down the nutes and see how it responds, ill keep growing for a while even if it does turn really bad, because right now whatever the problem is I cant seem to compare it to anything else, to be honest my main priority right now it to find out what this problem is and how to fix it, so I can prevent and treat it in future grows, I don't really mind starting over, but yeah the reason why I think it might be a calcium deficiency is because of how common it is in coco grow, even though I have been using calmag

Before you start to grow anything make sure you have good water and it's prepared correctly for use before fertilizing and or watering your girls.

Thanks, Niblix, yeah ive never really had any problems before with previous soil grows. Only problems I ever ran into were slight nitrogen deficiencies and pests in outdoor grows. As far as I know my tap water is pretty good, but maybe its not suitable for coco. Ive been keeping the ph around 5.8 to 6 as I hear this is the recommended, dont know if you have any experience in hydro or coco, but if you do, do you think this is a good range of ph to stay in?

Hydroponics DWC.

Veg PH 6.0 to 6.3.
Flowering PH 5.7 to 6.0.

Soiless

Veg PH 6.2-6.3-6.4.
Flowering PH 5.8-6.0

Very similar ranges between both styles.

In the 1st picture the leaf on the upper right kind of looks like mite damage. Not sure, usually I call bugs correctly but I'm not sure with yours. I'm not referring to the yellow. It's the green leaf at 2 o'clock that sort of looks like it to me.

Yeah is does look like it in the pictures, but im certain its not mites, ive had a lot of experience with mites in the past, it definitely looks like a deficiency to me, its just the lighting on my crappy phone camera
