For some reason the plants are not growing so fast, but they look healthy. Climate is always optimum and watering schedule is also fine, im struggling a bit with the nutrients, some of the lower leaves are turning yellow and then falling, I believe its nitrogen deficiency, so ill give em more. Also sometimes see some tiny bugs flying around, other then that everything is great. Any suggestions on what could be the problem of the slow growth?

Shaggy has some good points.. Over watering is a very real and common/easy problem to get. You can weigh your container wet and dry so you know when to water... but you WILL LEARN OVER TIME how to move it around and judge how wet/dry it is.... like picking up a gallon of milk... you know how much is left... It takes some time and you will mess up.... UNDERWATERIG is generally easy to fix and the plant is fine the next day... overwatering and your plant takes weeks to recover and you will probabally get bugs... Best of luck, hope this helps

Your day temp is a bit low. If you can get temp to 26 with more light or other heat source,your plants will evaporate more and intake more from soil faster.soil will dry faster. If its wet i wouldnt water now

If the top near the stem is still wet i would not water. If it is dry you can add some water to the top but don't go crazy. The reason may not even be a nutrient deficiency but the PH being off to where it is locked out. The PH usually falls and rises depending on how wet/dry the soil is. Don't want it too wet or you will end up some funky egg smelling soil usually caused from Anaerobic Bacteria not only that but your chances of getting Root Rot are high. Water based on weight would be the best bet as they all require different amounts really. GL.

@Cacique420 Hi there! If the soil is still wet don't re-water again, you'll generate an overwatering stress and stunt your plants for a few days/weeks. I'd recommend to increase your temperature a bit, in order to dry the soil faster. You can also add a small fan blowing straight to your container's surface at slow speed. Once your soil will be almost 100% dry then you can start feeding again following your regular nutrients schedule. It's important for roots development to alternate between dry-cycle and wet-cycle. If your affected leaves don't recover are dying, just tuck them and carefully check how the other leaves react. Hope this helps, I'll be around, good luck with these beautiful babies! 👊

They are bouncing back. No worries. Get a moisture meter if you don’t have one already. Let them reach the dry range before watering again. Repeat for the life of the plants. When they are a few days to a week from harvest, let them go dry. This encourages essential oil production, along with a final extended dark period (1-3 days) near harvest. Buena suerte, @cacique420

@Cacique420, @Stick is an experienced grower who can accurately assess moisture level with his finger. Most of us need a meter. Yes allow the roots to dry after flush and into the final dark period. At harvest you may choose to cut at the base, or trim branch by branch for drying. I take an unconventional approach; uproot the whole plant, and bag the roots so dirt cannot fall off them and into the flowers while hanging it while to dry. I believe flavors and terpenes are preserved because of the slower drying.

@Cacique420, Your soil needs to be on a wet/dry cycle, from seed to harvest. Water often with low amount of liquids, then let it dry before watering again. Don't hesitate in touching the soil so you can analyse it's moisture 👍

@growdoctordc, I dont have a moisture meter, ill be getting one today. About letting them go dry is right after flushing right? Thank you for all your great advise. 🙏

@Cacique420 You have been given excellent advice. That’s a hefty name to live up to, sir. Based upon your organizational and photographic skills, I suspect you will become a true 420 cacique. Connect with the Taino in your soul, even if you cannot claim Taino blood! Buena suerte, amigo

¿Que pajo pai?! Yellowing and dropping can mean either under or over watering, or a deficiency. Underwatered may shrivel so you notice, but they can often look similar to over watered. And that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I generally don’t flip out when my plants look horrible, if I know I’ve been mostly on top of it. I had one plant that had NO LEAVES for the last 2 months of its life. Weed was great. About 2z. Concern yourself more with keeping low RH late in flower. That matters. La lucha sigue

@Michka, Thank you for you advise! It takes at least 4 to 5 days for the pot to dry completely, is that good?

Doc, Thank you for always being around. I believe yellow leaves dropping is beacause of a lack of nutrients, only fed them 3 times now, heard this fertilizer is really strong and didnt want to over fertilize them. Humidity is really low here, not a concern. As always, thank you for your advices! Cacique💪
