    Unhappy Help! Newbie problems with outdoor grow.

    Hey everyone! I'm brand new to growing. In fact I decided to try it because of being stuck at home in lockdown. I got some automatic seeds that I am trying to grow on my balcony (in northern France so it's still a bit chilly here).
    Anyway, they seemed to be coming along quite nicely, although they have always been a bit on the pale side, but then today I come home and some of them are looking a lot worse.

    I don't know how well you can see it on the pics, but they all seem a bit pale to me (compared to pics I've seen online) and some have a few splotches on the leaves. The one that's doing worst of all has suddenly become very pale and papery.

    I'm using Plagron light mix soil, to which I added some Terra grow and Power Roots after about 10 days (following the Plagron grow chart). I lower my waters PH with vinegar. I have a PH and EC meter. The older plants are about 20 days old, the seedlings are about 10 days old. They're outdoors on my balcony getting some sun during the day, but I've been bringing them in on cold nights. It's been extremely windy lately so I've had to keep them indoors (near the window) more.

    I'd be grateful for any help: how do they look to you? What's wrong with the ones that aren't looking so hot? What should I change? What should I do?

    I hope I haven't screwed this up

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum brother, it's a little bit early to be feeding those plants in my opinion. They're looking real good and are probably pale because they're not getting enough sun, it would be better to leave them out on windy days and let them get used to the wind than to bring them in for that reason. I also don't see a whole lot of point in adjusting the pH in soil and I really don't care for vinegar as a pH down. Although, I know lots of guys use it and do quite well.

    I just reread that post and it seems a lot worse in the reading than my intent, you have plenty of soil in those pots and should have plenty of nutrients for a while, nutrient companies always want to get you using everything in the whole line up to the maximum quantity. That simply does not work for cannabis. I usually won't even bother trying to feed a plant in soil until I see strong deficiencies, I find autoflowers grow a lot bigger if they're a little bit hungry and a little bit pale.
