Hello to experienced growers, can you help me, even if it's just reassurance?
This is my second grow. Photoperiod sativa - Kwazulu Natal - just like last year. Northern European climate. Started a month earlier than last year. Seeds took longer to germinate (five days), but what's bothering me is the different outcomes for these plants, even though they have the same soil mix, and water regime. One plant is doing well, the one that grew faster than the others last week has now wilted, and the third plant is also drooping with what looks like yellowing leaves.
I wonder if I made a mistake giving them tap water the first time (I've since moved onto mineral water with PH of 6.8) but surely all the plants would show chlorine damage, or the alkaline content would prevent them all from taking up nutrients. Maybe it is the cold weather (last year I planted out in June, rather than May) or lack of sunlight, but again surely this would affect all the plants?
I have not fed the plants any nutes yet because the soil (peat-free compost) is supposed to feed the plants for the first few weeks.
Anything I am missing? Thanks for any feedback.
