Why do my seedlings keep ending up like this? (photo) - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi! I'm new to growing! Growing an autoflower in DWC, and would really appreciate some pro eyes.

What's wrong? Starts at bottom and works up. pH is steady as a rock. Using tap water with an EC of 310 (or 155ppm). Tried sterile before, this one is with bennies. Exact same thing happens.

Is it calcium?

I d recommend you try growing with a simple mix of vermicompost and perlite or look up subcool's soil recipe. Organic is so much easier. Once you understand the plant, if you want to go back to chemicals go for it but honestly if you do a grow with vermicompost and perlite or supersoil recipe with water only throughout the whole grow cycle you will at least get great weed to smoke. Very easy, plug and play.

I'm 100% with you man, that was my mistake. I do wish I did that in the first place, no lie. But I've bought every thing and started already, and not ready to give up yet! I'm close to it though hahaha

So anyway, maybe you know? Does it look like an obvious deficiency of something?
I'm having the exact same spotting/yellowing thing happen every time I try.

It looks like a nutrient deficiency.

You mentioned the the ec/ppm of your water, but what about the ec/ppm level after you've added your nutrients into your water?

Thanks Ganoderma - it's at EC 520. I started with 1/4 strength nutes (GH Flora Trio). Maybe about 50ppm of nutes, the rest is the water and the bennies.

Moshi you using the micro grow bloom ? If so use them at 2ml of each in 10ltrs as the chart says easy stuff
I start at economic 0.5 for a week then raise it to economic 0.6 following week hope you get it sorted
Also hand feed till roots hit water through net pot

Ganoderma - just to add.. looking at your Hooked on Ponics thread... The photo on Day 9... especially plants 1, 7 , 11... it's exactly the same issue. The leaf curling and spotting/yellowing in exactly the same way.

Put your corner on 15mins on 15mins off

whats your ph ? They seem like there locking up on you. Double check your calibration too. Gotta be ph related.

What do you mean Ronin?
BTW it's an auto so I've put in less nutes than what is recommended. Also the roots are already very much in the water... I'm well past the stage of lowering the water below the netpot.

Trying to identify the deficiency... is this an obvious case of too little nutrients in the water then?
