Hi, this is my first grow and I've really been struggling to keep my plants healthy. Some background information they are about 1 month old but I have been experience a lot of discoloration and browning. Some basic information:
The strain is auto feminized Jack Herer from VSB
I am growing in Hydro with coco in the baskets
PH is a steady 6.0
PPM is unknown I have a meter on the way people say our water is hard in this city.
Res temp is 70
The tent is a steady 75-80
The water level is about an inch below the basket the Coco says fairly wet from the bubbles from the air stone. I worry it may be too wet.
I started them under CFLs(6500K) and then put them under a 300w Reflector LED(from mars-hydro). The leds seemed to accelerate the problems and stunt growth so I went back to CFLs for now. They are growing fairly well but look sickly.
For nutrients I am following the "Mild All Purpose" for the larger plant and "Seedling" for the smaller plant.(see table below).
I thought it might be a magnesium deficiency so I added 1/2 tsp of Epsom salt per gallon to res. but it doesn't seem to have helped at all, it may have even made things worse but its hard to say.
Roots are a healthy white and about 8-10 inches outside of the basket.
I realize it may be too late to get any kind of a harvest from these guys but I am treating this as a learning experience.
Thanks for taking a look.
