Help I am so confused - Auto Skunk not flowering

[Stuttgart]

Ok guys, so I feel like this grow is just going to be a waste. I will upload some pics of how she looks now . It's quite bad. Most of the leaves are yellowish, lots have curled up at the end, most have burned tips , the middle of the canopy is ok though, so I'm thinking maybe light bleaching is a problem.

I can't even figure out if I've over fed her in the beginning or underfed ... should I just give up?

Pics please

its all part of the learning curve, dont give up!

So first of all thanks for the advice guys. I really appreciate it!
as you can see after 42 days with 24 hour light this should not be all i can see at the top node right? There is like 2 small white hairs. almost to small to see in the picture i think.

I can see pistols forming at the node below your finger so she is starting to flower.

I wouldn't give up, the pics don't look too bad at all. Might just be a mild deficiency. What have you been feeding her, what's your temp and ph at?

Hey guys: thanks for the words of encouragement , of course I'm going to stick at it . Just frustrated that's all. I'm not at home right now but as soon as I am I'll be popping some photos on for you guys to have a look at.

@bunkbudz embarrassing as it is, I didn't bother with checking the temps (as I was sure it couldn't possibly get too hot in my celler with an led light, completely missing the fact that it could be way to cold. She is now in the spare room and I bought a thermometer today so I can check the RH and the temps.

Using biobizz nutes (amounts were guessed as I didn't have a measuring cup) and soil is a plagron light mix.
Water was PH'ed down as of the 2nd or 3rd watering ...
Honestly the bad leaves have got worse which you will see in the photo later ...
it sucks when you are only growing one plant.

So here we go. Some pictures of my problem child
The temps are now ok in the new room. under 86 and a RH of 50 .

Does any one think these problems could have been caused by over feeding nutrients 2 times.

 

[HigherTheHigh]

what nutrients are you using and at how many ML to 1L?

the plant looks great actually!

my northern lights did this, short and bushy for nearly 50 days then it flew up, your pre flower hairs are there, i think within the next 2 weeks your going to start seeing lots of bud sites.

I really didn't think she was fine. I am feeding her 1ml of Veg nutes from biobizz per liter of water. The first 2 feedings were way to strong i think added to the fact i hadn't done anything about the PH which comes out the tap at almost 8

 

[HigherTheHigh]

yeah the new growth on top looks alot better, i only ever go 3/4 strength as iv had the same burn.

keep us updated!

Your plant for sure has the burnt tips due to you over feeding her. Are you feeding her/watering her on a schedule now or how do you test that she needs water? I don't know the line that you're using but they certainly will have a feeding schedule online so you can see how much and how often you should be feeding her. Also, looks like a nitrogen deficiency, you totally need a way to accurately measure 1 ml at a time.

We cant tell if theyre photos or autos by looking at them, so if shes an auto.....stress is 100% why she's not flowering. I have 2 auto short riders on day 48 of veg with no signs of flower that I stressed by simply doing LST . I switched to 12/12 a week ago and still no flowers.

Someone on here (when I first arrived), taught me about patience......I practice it every day with my girls. I'd trim the crappy leaves, allow the new growth to start developing, and give her time to react. Don't change more than 1 thing at a time so you know what and how your changes are affecting her. If things change.....show us. Everything seems fixable.

I've stopped the nutrients for a while but will start with a 1ml of feed as of tomorrow.
I have bought a syringe so the measuring is not a problem anymore.
Also just realized she is actually only on day 38 since the seed popped. I must have been high as a kite when I came up with day 43... embarrassing!!!

As far as watering goes. I am only giving her 1 liter at a time at the moment. That usually lasts her like 3-4 days. Is this ok? Or should I water 1.5 or 2 liters?

Thanks for the reply , I have seen this but to be honest she has pretty much all of these ... so it gets a bit confusing.

Judge her watering needs by the weight of her pot. Vegan survive being watered every day if you're only giving them a small amounts.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Vegan*.....duh, they can...lol. fkn autocorrect.

Judge her watering needs by the weight of her pot. Vegan survive being watered every day if you're only giving them a small amounts.

So last night I gave her 2 liters of water with 2 ml of Veg nutes from biobizz and 2 ml of Top Max.

I poured away the runoff. Pot was nice and heavy. So that should so her for about 3 days I think. Then I'll give her just water .
So She will be getting a low dose of nutes every 6 days. How does that sound?

Thanks for the help!

 

[Guy Cavallero]

That's what I would do. Start small and work your way back up to the recommended dosage.....1/2, 3/4, full or something like that. Keep an eye on your new growth for signs .....any signs.

I'd say from the look of the plants and what you've said, that it is definitely light bleaching. I've pushed bio bizz to the max in light mix and only got nitro tox. You can't burn with organics the same way you can with chemical nutes.

Your plant looks very much like the ones I light burned the last grow I did. It looks like every deficiency at once and is very confusing. But based on the fact you were running 24-0 I'd put my money on that. I burned mine under 18-6 and they had a dark period to repair.

Not much you can do now really, but in future start out under a small CFL til you hit three leaf sets or so then stick them under the led but never more than 18-6. LEDs are far more powerful than CFL and even hps in some respects so you need to dial the hours back and keep the light a good bit away.
