    This is my first indoor grow and 2nd grow ever. I have 2 autoflower plants currently at day 29 and they started showing issues around day 23. Looking to see if I can get some advice.
    --What brand and type of soil?
    Supersoil - 1/3 peat moss 1/3 perlite 1/3 compost (with bat guano and ewc)
    Lime
    Kelp meal
    Crab meal
    Neem meal
    Tomato fertilizer
    --Indoors or outdoors?
    Indoors
    What strain?
    White widow and northern lights (1 each)
    How old are the plants?
    Day 29 above ground
    What type of lights and how many watts?
    4 quantum qb120' . 3000k. 300 watts
    How far from the lights?
    20inches
    What is your watering frequency and source of water?
    Water with roughly 1/2 gallon of tap water using the knuckle test. Roughly 3 days
    What, how much and when was it fed? NPK?
    No nutes
    What is the medium/runoff pH and PPM if in hydro?
    Ph has not been tested yet. Meter just arrived in the mail
    What are the temps and humidity in the room?
    75-79F. 50-60% lights on 24/7
    What size pots?
    7 gal smart pots
    Any bugs? Look real close.
    None found so far
    Any other pertinent info?

    There has been 1 white widow auto grown in a 15 gal pot that was not very successful ( very late into mich season) that soil was divided into these 2 pots. Plants do not seem to be stunted growth wise but the white widow is showing light colored leaves with darker veins. And the northern lights started drooping and clawing. I had the lights around 15 inches and when the issues started showing I raised it to 20 inches to try resolve the issues. After raising the light and monitoring waterin . The northern lights has rebounded some but still showing leaves clawing. No improvement to the white widow.

  2. best advice I can give you is ...autoflowers are extremly fussy over nutes

    feed nutes to an auto using just half what the photos need

    your soil and that 1/3 peat...

    peat holds water, hence it holds nute ....then you come along and feed the peat some more

    their is a pattern here

    IMO: you really can't do that much as the plant is on its own timer

    no more nutes ever is all I can say

    next grow if you stay with that soil add 30% perlite

    add 50% perlite if you intend to feed your own hutes later

    good luck

    ps good work for a first grow!
