Newbie + Marijuana = :(

hey all... i bought some sensi seeds 25 in pack.. germinated them and they sprout 1-2days after and were looking very good.. at day 3 i put them down in pots... and under 600w HPS it was all going well for the first week green and healthy.. now im at week two they are now had some catapillars in my plants they ate a lot of the leaves but it doesnt look very bad i think i got rid of them but now my seedlings look very bad the leaves are yellow brownish (i will post a picture tomorrow) whats going on?? plz help

did you plant all 25 and they all got munched on by caterpillars? are you ph treating your water? what kind of medium are they in?

i have 15 of them atm some of them got chewed im using spanish tap water. im not ph threating the water no.. what do you mean what kind of medium?

Pics and more info would help. Soil.temp,watering,etc .

soil is biomix light temp is 30-34c watering every 2-3days when the soil is crusty i will post a pic i just forgot it when the lights were out i got some catapillar killer from my local growshop i think they are all gone now.. the plants are getting back to life i lost 4 of them they were completly chewed

Must be costing you a lot of money having Spanish tap water shipped in. Seriously they are very stressed from the catapillars and you playing around with them try to get the things off. Reduce watering, raise the light dont feed and hope they pull thru over the coming weeks. Next grow check for grubs on the plants with a cfl or headlamp.

ive raised the lights i havent fed them yet two weeks now since they sprouted.. next grow is gonna be in a sealed room

30-34 degrees is too hot. That's like 93 fahrenheit. I had heat issue, totally stunted my grow for a week. Good luck!

what will the heat do to my plants? will they not yield as much? :l what did you do about the heat issue? what temp is ideal? 26-30?

75F.............perfect. cannabis must LOVE Socal

Actually 68 is prime temps, look at my first grow to see what 90+ temps do to thc

right... got rid of all the catapillars got some spray stuff from my local shop.. plants are now growing insane i lost few of them but ive got 15 left..

temp is around 30° ( 86F) my plants are now on week 3 tomorrow.. well actually 3 weeks since i started germination process..

should i start to use fertilizer now? my mix is BioMix light..

im watering the plants 30cl at a time when the soil is very dry.. i stick my finger 2inches down in the soil when its all dry i water is that ok?

i also forgot ive got two autos BUD .. germinated on sunday planted on tuesday.. wednesday the sprouted and now they are around 2 inches long.. they are under 600w HPS with the other plants.. not directly in the light but they get light is that ok?

lay off nutrients for a while. Just keep giving them water for at least 1-2 weeks then start thinking about giving them 1/2 strength grow nutes. Do you have a nutrient line in mind?
86F is high for vegging, try to bring it down if you can but they will still grow at this temp, you might have issues with this temp in flowering however.

Don't limit the amount you water with, pour slowly until you get a bit of runoff, then stop. If you don't water enough, you may only be wetting the top half of your container.

morning.. thanks for the replays i will keep giving them water for some time and will try to post a pic as soon as possible.. i will be flowiering in a room with A/C unit so whats the ideal temp?

the nutes are quiet confusing.. is that the risky stuff of growing?
