Transplanted from 0,75L pots into 6 liter pots. Before transplanted I noticed the first leaves were turning yellow and black spots appeared as well. Initially I thought it was a Potassium deficiency due to high PH (CANNA claims that BioCANNA products don't require the use of PH down. After careful examination, I conclude that BioCanna does indeed lower the PH of water, but just by a tiny fraction, not nearly enough to exclude the use of PH Down), after transplanting them and adjusting the PH to 6.2-6.4 the same issue persisted still. I examined the seedlings with a microscope and I discovered that tiny invisible to naked eye spidermites or something like spiders are eating my seedlings. Thus, I declared war against these tiny nasty bastards and started to stock up on Neem Oil... I hope I don't have to use nuclear power and keep it as organic as possible.

Fighting spidermites with Neem oil and mild pesticides stunted the growth a little bit., It's an ongoing battle, but the plants recover quickly. Neem Oil didn't knock them down even after 3x application, so I'm moving on to stronger options.

War with mites continues with different Acaricides and defoliation of infested leaves.

Week 6, killed a lot of mites, but their leftover eggs are hatching. Not switching to flowering till the I exterminate these bastards. I used Karate a few times already. And also used a DIY insecticidal soap.

Transplanted from 6 liters into 33 Liter pots. Lighting is also switched from CFLs to QB240W LM301b + 105W QB.

Mites are dead, time to flower.

Week 2 of flowering, showing good yield already.
