Ok. I am completely stumped.

I am using pro soil mix. 18 hours lights on. Air temp 67 degrees. Humidity @ 60 %. Veg stage. Canadian Prairie Incica Seeds. Two different light waves using fluorescent lights. PH is 7. I have added a bit of lime. I have tested the soil in my veggies which were re potted at the same time ( below 7) and my water ( below 7 ) so I am not sure what is pushing it up.

I was using bottled water from the store but moved to getting the water from a mountain stream that many use for drinking water. Thought it may be more nutritious than the stuff from the store.

I had thought I had over fed the plants before but I am not sure now. I watered ( and sprayed the leaves with water) for almost 2 weeks before I fertilized again. I was using an 18-18-18 solution but wanted to go more organic so the last time I watered ( Sunday night) I fertilized with an organic 4-3-3 solution ( mixed at 20-1) mixed with my water at a 25% solution.

The yellowed leaves on the bottom and the died tips say over feeding but my friend doesn't think so do to the low numbers and dissolved rate of the fertilizer. He thought I could feed with every watering which are 3 to 4 days apart.

Apologize for quality of pics but you can see the problems.

Slight over feeding, maybe lockout, maybe roots are bound up.

The leaves do look a bit crispy near the edges, showing a light over fert(however a few of the lowest leaves are showing nitrogen deficiency) You should be transplanting to bigger pots before too long. How far into the veg stage are you? How are you testing your ph?

personally I would not worry about those bottom leaves, they always die off early. As for the canooing up top, in my experience, this happens typically due to magnesium deficiency. This can be casued by either not feeding a proper amount of mag or from nute lock out. In either case the answer is the same. flush and start over.
Oh and the water, using creek water because folks drink from it is far from knowing that the water is any good. I would be testing that water and at least know what it's ph is.

Good points.

Bought a ph test kit ( I have been using a fairly cheep probe) and it seems that the water is @ 6.2 ish. Pots are 8 inch round. I germinated the first group mid feb the second a week later. I gather this is slow but I am told that is what to expect with these seeds. I had read that when you clone you have to use a branch with several other branches coming off it from the first two tiers from the top but none have come yet.

I have to go away for a week next week. Interesting trying to find someone I trust to take care of the girls. When I get home I want to clone, sex then start budding process. If possible, I would like to keep a few of these plants as mothers but hopefully, I will be able to pick up a couple packs of seeds for diversity.

Would it be worth me picking up a bag of potash to boost the mag ?

Can I clone using single branches?

Should I flush again ?

Will I be able to transfer my learning on to other varieties of herbs ?

This really is my first grow..trying learn and stay calm

I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me.

Transfer into bigger pots and heavy water.

That will suite u week gone. And they need it.

It looks good those bottom leaves take off. They yellow and dead.

Will do...thanks !

you want to clone from actively growing stem tips.

I don't understand. Where would I make the cut ?

Thanks, Grassy

There are several great detailed guides on cloning here on this site.
