Help for a beginner

[rjnrandy]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Quick overview of where I am at.</p>
First run in a 4×4 ac infinity tent w a spider farmer g8600. Ac inline 6”

ac oscillating fans (2)

5 gallon pots w build a soil 3.0

following Canuck method from YouTube.
Today is week 6, found yesterday that I think the full batch (6 plants) are seeded (kick in the balls) Trying to pin down what happen so I finish crying and feeling disappointed to the next phase of fix it and try again.

strains are

cali connnect Sour Diesel(2)

tiki mad man Lemon Cherry gelato(2)

gg4 from whoever is running (or was running) the Gorill glue website.

Looking for help on what I can do better or where I went wrong

Guessing this far in I should go ahead and finish these out?

My best guest at this point was maybe the light cycle getting off toward the end or light pollution…..

or maybe genetics?

can one bad plant seed all

the others? Even thought they’re all fem seeds?
consigns of any males or balls or pods.

just one day went from great looking and on point to what looks to be seed delvelopment….

I’d finish it out for sure.

Do you see any anthers (often referred to as nanners) coming out of any of the buds? Often times they are either coming out of the top buds or they are coming out of the bottom of the lower buds. Those release pollen and could very well be the culprit. Yes, one plant producing anthers could release pollen to all of the plants in the same grow space.

Thanks for taking the time!

I’ve been doing a lot of research and recently have watched a lot of your podcasts. So I know you are  busy!

Thanks for doing what you guys do

I went ahead and pulled the plug and dumped this, will take it as a loss- learning experience. Unfortunately it was every plant and they were infested w seed.

cleaning everything  now and about to try again.

Ill

report back in some

months and hopefully have a better end result.

Bummer. I hope the next run turns out better for you. Thanks for taking the time to post about it here. Cheers!

I’m back.

This time is

same 4×4

viparspectra ks5000

Most everything else ac infinity.

plants are :

Humboldt csi x2 T-1000

Humboltd csi x2 Bubba kush

In-house genetics x2 platinum gorilla

so far this time I have been using the pre-made recipe settings on the smart controller. Just switched from seedling to veg. Sure has made it easy and keeps it dialed in with out all the manual back and forth adjusting.

 

Wish me luck.

Looking good so far 👌

White tips.

is this anything concerning?

[rjnrandy]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>This is the answer according to Grok-</p>
Based on the image of the cannabis plant, there are a few observations to consider regarding the tips of the leaves:

1. **Yellowing or Browning Tips**: If the tips of the leaves are yellowing, browning, or appear burnt, this could indicate a few potential issues:
– **Nutrient Burn**: Overfeeding the plant with nutrients, especially nitrogen, can cause the tips to burn or turn brown. This is common if the nutrient solution is too concentrated.
– **pH Imbalance**: If the pH of the soil or growing medium is too high or too low (outside the optimal range of 6.0–7.0 for soil or 5.5–6.5 for hydroponics), it can lead to nutrient lockout, causing tip discoloration.
– **Heat Stress**: If the plant is exposed to excessive heat or direct light, the tips can dry out and turn brown. The presence of what looks like steam or heat in the image could suggest this is a possibility.
– **Overwatering or Underwatering**: Inconsistent watering can stress the plant, leading to tip damage. Overwatering can cause root issues, while underwatering can dry out the leaves.

2. **Healthy Appearance**: If the tips look green and only slightly curled or drooping, this might not be a concern and could simply be part of the plant’s natural growth or response to its environment (e.g., humidity or light intensity).

### What to Look For:
– Check if the yellowing or browning is limited to the tips or if it’s spreading to the rest of the leaf.
– Examine the soil moisture, temperature, and humidity levels in the grow environment.
– Review your nutrient schedule and pH levels to ensure they’re within the appropriate range for cannabis.

### Recommendations:
– If the tips are burnt or yellowing, flush the growing medium with pH-balanced water to remove excess nutrients or salts.
– Adjust the lighting distance (if using grow lights) to prevent heat stress—cannabis plants typically need 18–24 inches from LED or HID lights, depending on wattage.
– Monitor watering practices to ensure the plant isn’t over- or underwatered.
– If the issue persists or worsens, consider consulting a more detailed guide or expert, as other factors like pests, diseases, or deficiencies could be involved.

If you’d like, I can offer to search for more specific advice or resources tailored to your setup, but based on the image alone, these are the most likely causes and solutions. Let me know if you have more details about your growing conditions!

Good for you to keep on growing! We’re cheering you on!
This is a huge learning experience to learn from your results. We wish you the best! “Mr. Grow It” is the best resource for help and info as well as others in the community, but we’ve learned the most from Chris.
