    Default Need help with my first grow

    Hello, I'm new to this forum and a first time grower. I am currently using a 300 watt led grow light. My grow room is 50x50x100cm. I have purchased a pH tester and bottles of pH up and pH down, so I can tackle any problems I may run in too concerning pH. I have tested my plant and the pH is of normal range 6.0ph. She is a female. I don't know what type of breed she is. I keep her on a 18/6 light schedule and water her every 2 days. My question is, why are the leaves starting to curl? I thought maybe it would have something todo with the light being too close but I ain't sure for certain. I also have a second plant that has yellowing of the tips. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
    Kind Regards
    Victa

    The yellow tips are likely nute burn from the soil, so if you are feeding, cut it back... if your not feeding yet then this is an adjustment period for the soil, give them some time to adjust. But stop PHing your water. Let the soil be the buffer. Additionally, if you are watering every two days you are overwatering. You need to be going from wet to dry cycles with cannabis. Best way to know is to stick your finger in the soil, and when it is dry up to your first knuckle, then its time to water. In soil I tend to water about every 4 or 5 days. hope this helps.

    depending on pot size, and time in life, watering once every 4-5 days may not work for every situation.

    4-5 days works for me in very big soil pots. I find that 5 gallon pots or smaller need much more water than that.

    Im guessing he is soaking her every two days...... that small of a plant aint soaking up water like that........ This isnt a claw, like a nitrogen toxicity, instead this is a droop.... Which 90% of the time, in soil, its either under or over watering. Considering hes hitting her every two days, i think we can narrow it down.

    This plant has been growing now for 4 months. She spent biggest part of her time next to the window. I decided to do it properly now though, so I invested in a grow room and lights. It's been less than a week since she's been in her new environment. How long will it take for her leaves to return to normal? There is no change as of yet.
