I don't know whats going on!

Hi This is my first grow and my Leaves are acting up..I think its a Nitrogen Deficiency Im using shutlz plus soil and feeding my plant cal mag for it's vegetative stages please help me i was also feeding seaweed extract for seedlng stage!

What nutrients are you using? What percentage npk? You always want a higher nitrogen percentage then phosphorus, around n 20% p 8% k 18%

What strain by the way? Do a search man as different strains take differently to nutrients!

I'm doing 10-10-10 thought id be safe that way haha

Yeah that's a safe way to do it, just check your not feeding them too much nutrients then man, the night be burning, and try just to feed to the soil nothing on the leaf

every couple days i spray the leafs down with a little bit of tap water. where i'm from our tap water is Ph at 6.8 - 7.2

how big are your pots and how long have they been in them?

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

HMMM, I personally never did care for misting or foliar feeding...can block stomata and in effect drown the leafs...that may be your issue...

Good Luck and Great Growz

Im using 1/2 gallon pots becuase it's a smaller grow i have 3 plants under a 400w HPS and 4 23w cfl's on a 18/6 cycle i transplanted from a solo cup about 1.5 weeks ago once it started sprouting it's 2nd node of leaves.

Roots in the drain holes?

nope roots are clear of the drain holes

Fuck man good tap water haha!
I'd lay off misting your leaf man and how far is your light from plants?

My hps is about 1.5 m away and my cfl's are probably 30 - 40 cm.....haha im also great full for the tap water!

Schultz Plus Potting soil is basically Miracle gro by another name. The problem with these types of products is time released water activated nutrients. So, in essence every time you water, you feed. How much watering have you been doing? Have you actually checked your water ph? AND have you been adding nutrients as well?

Yes ive been adding nutes and checked the ph i usally just feed em every 3 days when they are feeling super light around 1.5 cups of water

Stop adding nutes and keep the watering in small amounts. let her get pretty dry until the leaves START drooping a LITTLE and then water.
