Rough beginning with absolutely nothing set up correctly. I have now added a grow light, humidifier, as well as fans to circulate air. I plan to get the rest of my growing equipment over the next few weeks as the vegetative state continues.

I think the stem may be too tall but im not sure if I should stake it or just lst with it how it is. I'm using a terrible light that I hope to replace soon, thus how close it is to my plant. The light produces very little heat so im not surprised there isn't any burn issue. Im having issues regulating humidity with the humidifier I bought so that may need to be switched out as well. (46%-78%) I'm watering just about every other day lightly on top and adding a small amount of water to the tray in an attempt to make it easier on the roots later on.

This week I plan to start LST. I think I may have been underwatering so I've begun watering more. Changed lights to a Mars hydro ts1000 which seems to be doing well. Humidity regulation is still a major issue and I've begun growing white fuzz on the outside of the pot (mildew?) I also noticed that the leafs seem to droop a tiny bit but I have no idea what a health plant looks like so who knows.

It appears that I have a nitrogen issue. Up until a few days ago I was watering with drinking water that was 7.5 ph but have since switched to 6.3 tap water that has been sitting out for 5 days or so and plan to flush tomorrow in the hopes the nitrogen issue will fix itself more or less. I plan on adding nutes this next week but am unsure how to do so safely with the nitrogen issue.

I'm getting the claw and darkening leaves from the bottom moving up. The soil I'm using is from the pot4pot kit so im not sure how best to move forward nute wise. Do I flush the soil with 6.3 ph water and then add nutes a few days after? Dr earth 4-4-4 and Dr earth 3-9-4

Would also recommend to simply flush and wait for it to get ready for nutrient uptake again 🌱👍

Flush your plant with 6.0-6.5 pH. Do not add any nitrogen for a while, claws and dark leaves are the most straightforward nitrogen toxicity signs. The claw should be gone in a day, leaf colour may take a bit longer. Avoid anything containing nitrogen for a few days and you should be good to continue with your regular feeding schedule.

Flush with 6.3, wait 24 hrs, if not fixed flush again and then feed when it is ready for another water.

Well looks like my girl became more ridged and in an attempt to train her down lower I snapped the main branch just above the 3rd node. Managed to tape her back together and support her with some sticks and it seems to have worked. She's not wilting but she's also not growing. It didn't help that I had nutrient issues at the same time and decided to risk a flush so I could add brand new nutes to try to fix the problem. 6 tsp 444 and 4 top 394

Help! I did a flush and added nutes and now all of my leaves are going dark in a blotchy way. There has been no new growth after the flush and nute addition. I broke the main stock 4 days ago and fixed it. How do I fix this?? 444 and 293 I think Dr earth

Edit: the bug sites are going dark from previously being bright green. Most of the plant was bright green besides the bottom where it had begun going dark from early on. I did the flush and added nutes hoping to fix a precieved nitrogen surplus but it seems to have maybe made it worse?

To me this looks like your plant is going through a hormonal change and it’s getting ready to flower. It’s normal for bud sites to start going a brighter shade of green when she goes into flower mode. I see you’ve been flushing and stuff too trying to fix things. Don’t stress out too much it’s still a very nice plant. Look at my diary of Jane. She’s had her fair share of problems but still gonna yield me a nice bit for one plant. You’ve got yourself an autoflower too so you’re in that window. Good luck the rest of the way.

Growth has 100% stopped. After flushing for nitrogen toxicity and adding new nutes the leaves are all getting darker from the bottom up like it's even worse on nitrogen. My beautiful bright green leaves are no longer and, again, no new growth in 5 days. Help!

Performing the flush was a good idea. Keep an eye on her but she will make a come back. Might be in a state of shock so give it some time and keep watering on normal schedule. Organic inputs will still break down but I would recommend getting some Beneficials back in that soil to help the web get back together from your flush.

Growth was very slow this week but there is growth so thats good. I preformed another flush because my soil/ coco was looking to be almost 9ph and I thought that might be the cause for slowed growth. I got this number because I ran 4ph water through to correct it and it was coming out 6.7. It's now 6.3 with 5.5 water running through. I added a very small amount of nutes today along with recharge in the hopes of fixing what I have done. I'm thinking my issue for the beginning was the wrong ph water. Once I started flushes (yes plural) things started to go sideways. I'm thinking I shocked her trying to fix a very minimal issue. Lesson learned
