Slow grow/yellowing leaves

himynameispaul · Aug 25, 2012

Hey guys I've had this plant for the past 4-5 months under a 150 HPS light.
My lighting schedule has been 12-12 or 14-10, I've only used organic and some miracle grow mixed in.
Its in a 4x2 closet with a fan blowing on it and under the light.
My temps have been 81 during lights on and 55 lights off.
Humidity has been 46 - 55.
I'm going to the hyrdo store this weekend to get a ph kit and some other things some one help me out!
Still kind of a noob at growing.

over-watering/poor drainage. and lose the clear container; roots like dark

JohnBaked · Aug 25, 2012

You'll probably need a bigger pot too, try a 3 gal and add a lot of perlite, keeps over and underwatering from being such an issue.

So since my last post I've put this plant into a bigger pot and cut holes in the bottom as well.

Im going to get some perlite this weekend when I get a chance.
I've also topped this plant too. I watered her about 3 days ago.. not to much water

Temps over night went down to 45 should come back up to around 85-88 today

here are some more photos of my plant.

Using Miracle Gro don't work you need to use a seed starter dirt like light warrior or sunshine mix the first 2 weeks then use something like fox farm's ocean forest with some real nutes I prefer the Advance Nutes

Attempts to solve plant issues once in flower :?:

questionable at best. The pots you started in just about guarantee there was an overwater issue with possible root damage. Miracle grow :?:

Not good but it could always be worse. Miracle grow what :?:

Miracle grow has several NPK ratios and the new stuff is not the same as in previous years. The plants tend to look like bloom food to early in life. The early pots without proper drainage and feeding ferts should have multiple nute issues. If you flush with epsom salts it will help rid the plants of nute build up and tend to help the roots with proper uptake of nutes provided they are not too far gone. Let it dry out and give it a weak feed with a balanced 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 then start low dose bloom food. Its too late in the plants life to expect major changes but with a little luck you may be able to salvage something.

How are you going to mix the perlite in with the soil now that you have already transplanted?
Also, make sure your pots are not sitting flat on the floor allowing the drainage to stay under the pot.

did you say 4 to 5 months old thats how my plants look at 4 weeks

im honestly shocked start a new grow with a ph kit

himynameispaul · Sep 9, 2012

So this grow OVB isnt going to go any place. Im buying the right soil and thing next weekend and wil start germing a new seed. As for now I'm going to keep this around and see what happens.

Temp: 79-86
Humidity: 56-60

Here are a few new photos..

if i were you i'd try running that hps at night. 55 sounds awful cold, that's definitely having an impact on your plant.

also, i grew this using nothing but miracle gro soil AND nutes to prove a point.

that isnt to say i'd recommend using the stuff but for first timers who are just testing the waters in the world of growing there is nothing wrong with it. its cheap, easily accessible, and if you dont overdo it they can work great and produce quality bud.

himynameispaul · Sep 9, 2012

If you check out my other grows that I've had in the past I have a plant I veg in a closet for 8 months and it turned into a male plant was BEAUTIFUL and all I used was miracle grow I know its not recommend but its all I can really the best I can do atm I do on the other hand really need to get a Ph kit and nutes to keep it nicer. Plus since I have moved I haven't been working with what I was use to my set up is pretty retarded Im converting my closet now so I have a nice size space to work in. This is my first time as well even having a female. I know what you mean about testing the waters. First time around see what you can do so you don't ever do it again.. haha Its a learning pross. Ive also been reading a lot of other grows and info on here so when I have my next seed I'll be better. I think I am going to start running it at night but where its at right now I cant do that..

himynameispaul · Sep 16, 2012

I moved my grow into the closet now.. much better.
MY temps have been peaking at 87 but runs around 80-81 now.
Night temps are down to 72
Humidity 45-55

himynameispaul · Sep 24, 2012
