First Grow - Advice Welcome

[420Troubador]

Thats should be all set now like you said cheers man

 

[420Troubador]

Cheers mate, she does look like shes now getting back on track - the leaves are slowly un-drooping as observed today which is great

 

[420Troubador]

Update: Shes pulling through! spurt in growth can be observed and leaves are raising, only a small patch of discolouration from the over-watering issue i believe but isnt huge.

My only question is: is it normal for the base of the stem to go redish/darken a tiny bit like this? - dont worry about this question did some more digging and research into the genetics im growing and its totally normal for this to happen.

Some purple on the stems is not unusual, I think. I had it on mine and was quite concerned about it at first, but it turned out to be a non-issue. There are many strains that produce purple in the stems. Don't forget that the green colour in plants comes primarily from chlorophyll, which is important more in the broad leaves where photosynthesis occurs.

 

[420Troubador]

No worries mate thanks for the images - the strain of the plant growing is auto northern lights cant wait to see it fully developed

 

[420Troubador]

my bad haha the fan is 5V not 12 but i have 2 of them one for the input fan and one for the output they work like a charm - the brand is '00 Seeds' where i got my Auto Northern Lights seed

Update: Shes looking good! second set of leaves are growing even more now and are raising up. scars from the overwatering are now more brown - should see the brown bits fall off at some point other than that she should grow well now

 

[420Troubador]

Update, the second set of leaves are defiantly growing well alongside some mini fan leaves, as well as noticably being 'perkier' - the old bottom leaves appear to be going pale (because of the overwatering issue?) but the new second set of leaves look a healthier colour.

Has been watered and fed it's nutes today so hopefully the rest of the growth goes better than the rocky start.

Is that water on the leaves when lights are on?

 

[420Troubador]

sometimes when I spray the soil when watering shall I wipe it off?

 

[dirt mcgert]

I would, it could be the cause of why the leaves are looking that way. Just my opinion

 

[420Troubador]

cheers mate I just wiped it off gently with a cotton bud would make sense since water magnifies the light

 

[dirt mcgert]

I thought I noticed it the other day, but got to busy with life to comment about it.

 

[420Troubador]

No worries mate I really appreciate the help

 

[420Troubador]

Update: Fan leaves are growing more I think she's doing ok, noticed that all the old leaves that were present when the overwatering happened are pale compared to the new leaves... new leaves are perked up too so hopefully the rest will grow ok - the old leaves will probably fall off at some point...

Noticed one of the leaves has only got 1 fan leaf coming out is that normal?

Give her a few days and see how the new growth is looking.

 

[420Troubador]

Update: New Growth doesn't seem to be affected like the old leaves so can't be light burn... old leaves defininly are effected badly from the overwatering issue unfortunately.

Wishing I never had the issue happen now but tough luck I guess

 

[dirt mcgert]

She's recovering just fine. New growth looks good don't worry about the damaged leaves they never heal.

 

[420Troubador]

Yeah I'm glad she's looking ok as well - I figured the new leaves would never heal oh well least I have learnt from my mistake and my next grow in the future shouldn't have that problem better to have experience with a few problems whilst growing and knowing how to resolve them than having none at all

 

[420Troubador]

checked on her today and she's defiantly recovering well like you said dirt mcgurt- she's also notably giving off a lush smell
