are you testing the pH in your water? what type of soil are you using? how much are you watering?
I haven't tested the phone yet. I'm using coco course in the purple punch, and organic soil in my northern lights.
Coco will need nutrients since it doesn't really have them naturally. it also could be your water is too high or too low pH. they are very fragile at that age so it's easy to mess up. it does take time to learn how to grow so you'll get there eventually. get a pH tester and some pH up or pH down, depending on if it's low or high. pH should be anywhere between 5.8-6.5. I always have to use pH down because my water is naturally about 8.8. Tap water will also have chlorine added in it to kill bacteria (I'm in the US). to combat that, I have a bucket with a fish tank bubbler stones in there and it burns off the chlorine in 24-48 hours.
Thank you so much
no problem! it takes practice so don't give up! look up some different soil brands for marijuana and try using those since they are loaded with the nutrients that your plants need. in my opinion, it's easiest to grow in soil when you start out.
will do. thank you for the advice.
should I give up on these plants and start again?
if you have means to acquire some nutrients today or tomorrow, I'd recommend getting some ones made for the vegetative stage and try to save them. take the instructions on the bottle and cut it in half and add to your water. but again, make sure you're using a pH tester so you can keep it between 5.8-6.5 cause adding nutes can cause your pH to change. if not, i would start over in high nutrient soil. a book you could buy to help is the Cannabis Grow Bible. it's got alot of information.
thanks again. I think i may just start over.
sounds good! you'll get it figured out!
I just picked some of this . is it good?
is there supposed to be a photo? I can't see it if so. what did you get?
I'm sorry. I just added a post .it's called vigoro organic fish fertilizer. it says feeds plants and soil. it says does not burn. it is6-1-1.
I personally wouldn't use that stuff or anything unless it's made for marijuana. if you get the right soil, you wouldn't need to feed it many nutrients. i use fox farms ocean forest.
sweet. I'll try that.
you were definitely right! the ph was about 7.9. I added some Sulphur, and we'll see what happens. Thanks again for the advice!
great! np. happy growing!
I think i may have saved this little lady. I flushed the soil, and I pruned off all of the dead or dying leaves. I'm actually seeing new growth.
nice job!!!
thanks! I couldn't have done it without your help.
appreciate the kind words! glad I could help out. 😊

does cinnamon repel fungus gnats, and spider bites? I've had gnats buzzing around my newly planted seeds, but I don't see any spider mites. any advice is greatly appreciated!
this is the little one I thought would die. she is only about 3 inches tall, and about a month old. is it possible for her to start flowering already?
i would say it looks like it is flowering. maybe bc it didn’t get good veg growth and it’s an autoflower so it’s make up wants to put it at flower. with researching and the plants that i have of my own, they started flowering 4-5 weeks from when i germinated and put in the soil. so i would assume because it is a month old it is already flowering and just didn’t get the veg growth it was supposed to. i don’t know much, dont know if it can recover now that its flowering but i dont think so.
thank tou much! that's what I thought was happening.
popcorn buds incoming 🤣 nice
these are the last 2 I started. they are doing way better then the others. first one is purple punch auto, second is Northern Lights auto. they are both 1 week old.
can I use regular vigaro fert for my grow or do I have to use the super expensive stuff? Don't forget this is my first grow. Any help is greatly appreciated!
first things first. your cat isn't stupid, it just has good taste 🤪. as for the fertilizer. npk is npk. when I started growing there wasn't a cannabis specific line. you used what you could get your hands on. what is the npk ratio of vigaro? can you add a picture of the label showing what's in it?
hello there. I'm having trouble uploading a pick of the vigaro bag , but it says 15-30-15 on it. what do you think?
it's high in phosphorus. that would be a good 'bloom booster' to feed around flip.
