Sick plants 3 weeks from seed :( - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi, New here from OG, on my first grow and have some questions about some weird spots on my leaves. I haven't been using any nutes yet and they are about 3 weeks from seed under about 65w CFL's for now. Have been watering as needed about every 2-3 days. Here are some pics of the plants that are "sick" and then some of others in the garden. By the way, strain is Nirvana's Durban Poision. Thanks for any feedback.
Peace.

How wet have you been keeping that soil?

Ive pretty much been letting it get pretty dry before I water. Ive have been poking my finger into the soil to make sure it is dry a few inches beneath the surface before I water. Thanks in advanced for anyhelp.

It's alot easier to accurately guage when to water by container weight, or waiting for the leaves to droop a bit... With those type containers, there can be some moisture still in the saucer on the bottom, even though the top seems dry. Every 2 - 3 days sounds like alot of watering, and they look a bit water stressed to me. Is your mix very heavy?

looks like you have a PH problem...
PH your tap water too 6.8, add some epson salt, along with nuets..

they seem heavy, i'll start taking more into account the weight of the container when weighing, aswell as look into the PH of my tapwater. Thanks for the help i'll keep you guys updated.

yeah lloks to me like you either have a magnesium prob happened to me my first couple pf grows...added some epson salt into the water(1tablespoon per gallon) and it was fine. yeah that too much water and if they really need that much water theyre probably root bound an need to transplant.

but it looks to be a prob with magnesium.....doubtfully its a PH prob but ttry the epson salts first

I tried epsom salt, didn't seem to help much, what is a good way to go about lowering or raising pH in soil? I have a feeling its low, but would like to know what to do in each case anyway.

they are starting to tell you they need more light asap

"seed under about 65w CFL's"

time to up the wattage

i would say they need more light, they need some epsom salt and they need to completly dry out before watering. good luck. just cause something doesnt work one time doesnt mean you shouldnt try it again.
