leaf issues

[MrC]

Had to go away for about 36 hr, gave the 2 plants a good watering, more than usual although I have been increasing the amount of water they have each time. One has been fine but this one started playing up a little bit, some leaves are crinkled and one is yellowing and dying by the looks. Could it be because it was overwatered? Haven't changed anything else, noticed the crinkled leaves before i left Sunday morning and the yellow leaf was there when I got back

Sour Diesel auto, in soil, 12 ltr fabric pot, good steady humidity/temps, no nutes at all so far.

What soil is that mate?

[MrC]

Its called Tropic mix 60% peat 40% coco, bit of calcium & magnesium in it too. Bought not homemade.

[M_C]

I did wonder as I saw the coco

[MrC]

Good eye, came with the tent etc and didn't have any negative reviews so thought I may as well use it, other ones doing well, no nutes yet and this ones been ok up to now. Keep an eye on it see if it gets worse.

The ones that are yellowing are at the bottom of the stem under that canopy from the first picture I take it?
Just guessing it's not getting as much light as it once was
By looks of her mate she's getting a growth spurt on
Looks about 20+ days old, are you watering to slight run off yet or still little and often

Thanks for looking in mate, this one sprouted through soil on 29/9 so nearly 20 days, but including germin you're about spot on. Yeh so been watering about 200=300ml at a close guess past cple waterings, apart from the last one which was about 500ml and only water again when the soils dry on top and an inch down. So no run off yet, was advised not to until later on. First grow. I've got a 125w blue cfl too, should I put that lower down and rotate the plant every 12 hours or so?

[Greengrass]

Ive never used Cfl bulbs but what I gather is their influence on a plant is pretty limited to the closest part of the plant and anything lower down has to make do
You have a light for flowering other than that one?
I've not used a soil with coco added so keep what your doing plants looks fine fella
But with my auto's around the 3 week mark I usually look to be getting an even dilution of any nutes left in pockets in my pot so I get a trickle out the bottom

[MrC]

Yeh you can get them within a cple of inches without any signs of a problem, I've always had it at 2 inch. I'll put the 125w in too then, don't see how it can hurt as long as the temps don't get too high.
I'd ordered a 300w red spec bulb for flower but it arrived smashed, hopefully getting picked up on wednesday for a replacement. I've got a 300w dual spec bulb aswell though, all cfl's.
Been holding off with too much water, maybe could do with more if it looks to be on a spurt? I guess this is where the trial and error comes in lol

[Greengrass]

Your doing well old chap plant looks well balanced
So the lights are designed for growing as you got it with a kit, does it come with a reflective hood like this I'd be a bit concerned about light spread across a load of bud sites
