Medium is Detroit Great Lakes Soil. I think I buried them too deep and they did not break soil. 1st seed broke soil on 12/15 and 2nd on 12/17. Maybe under-watering too.
This is my first time growing anything, so I have no idea. Medium is Detroit Co. Great Lakes Water Only Soil. 18/6 light. This girl is 11 days from breaking soil. I'm concerned about the texture of the leaves, they seem almost wrinkled and also dark in color. Any input is appreci
You plant looks mostly OK. I would not change anything at this point. It's not a supermodel but it's doing good so I'd continue on without major change.
That soil might be a bit nutrient heavy for a new sprout but your plant is doing OK so I wouldn't worry. Keep an eye on the plant for signs of nutrient deficiency in the future. You probably can go 3-4 weeks without needing to add additional nutrients and might go longer.

- Having this "brown spot" spot issue on a couple of leaves at the end of the week. Hopefully, just burning from getting water on the leaves. Plant is still growing.
- She is growing is Detroit Nutrient Company Great Lakes Water Only Soil, which allegedly does not require any nutrients. So at this point, she is not receiving any additional nutrients. She is in a 3 gallon pot, so at some point I guess she's going to need something. The question is what and when?
- Since its my first grow, trying to keep it simple as possible.
Several leaves have developed spots like this over the last 72 hours. The plant is 26 days old and otherwise seems OK. Any thoughts on what it is? What do do, if anything.
When you water avoid to wet the leaves, the water cause a magnifier effect and is not good because they get damaged.
From what i can see you have some pictures in your diary,whit some wet leaves.
This might be your problem
Good luck 👊🏽🍀
Day 30 - Looking kind of droopy today. I decided to remove the brown spotted leaves. Watering about 17oz every other day. Results in just the slightest bit of runoff.
Day 31- Grew an inch yesterday, but this leaf issue feels like it may derail the whole thing. I'm wondering if I'm under-watering. 16oz into a 3 gal cloth pot every other day. On days when I water, she produces smell and grows. Less smell and growth on non-water days. Thinking about top dressing with Roots Organics Terp Tea Bloom to see if that has a positive effect.
Day 32- Leaf spots continue to spread. Maybe some kind of mold or mildew. The air is pretty dry though. Turned down light to second highest level. 11 inches today, so still growing. Top dressed with some more soil. Watered in w/8oz
Day 33 - Watered 18oz. Spots continue to spread at a slow pace. Continues to grow, but no sign of flowering yet. Got the humidifier back running at lowest setting. 15/15 on/off while light is on. Off when light is off. Raised light to 24 inches.
Day 34 - Leaf taco-ing this morning. Probably due to cold? Just watered yesterday.
Day 35 - Watered 20oz. PHed water for first time to about 6.
Nutrient deficiency? Over/under watering? Light Burn?
She is growing in Great Lakes Water Only Soil, and is at day 30. Could be running out of something, but these spots don't seem to match-up well with any guides
Watering about 17oz every other day into a 3 gal pot
Thanks!
Day 36 - Now 13". Removed "diseased" leaves. All were fan leaves that were not creating new growth. Stems were also turning brown.
Day 37 - Watered 20oz. PH'd the water to about a 6.
Day 39 - Watered 20oz. PH 6
Day 40 - Tommy of Detroit Nutrient Co. (the maker of Great Lakes Water Only Soil) was nice enough to correspond with me via IG chat. He diagnosed my leaf condition as being result of over watering ("wet feet"). So, I'm going to water every 3rd day and work on keeping Temp and RH more consistent.
Day 42 - Watered 20oz. Definitely looked pretty droopy before watering,
Day 43 - In an effort to better control conditions, I broke down and purchased an Inkbird Temp and Humidity controller. Currently only controlling humidity which is set at 50%.
Day 45 - Watered 20oz. Now have heat controlled as well. Reset humidity to 44% with an 8% fallback. Temperature is 75F with a 6 degree fallback.
Day 47 - Watered 11oz.
Does this look normal? First time grower so no idea. Plant is 60 days old. Concerned that "hairs" are turning brown. Is the white on the leaves "sugar"? Also, the plant has largely stopped making "weed" smell. So many questions . . .
The hairs (pistils) purpose is to catch the pollen from the male plant and then the pollen spores will grow down the pistil to fertilize the ovule (embryonic seed) located at the base of the pistils. The older the ovule, the less fertile it becomes, with a corresponding drying up and browning of the pistils, which are then less able to catch pollen. This way, only the freshest and most fertile ovules have the greatest chance of being pollinated/fertilized. Therefore, the whiter the pistils, the "fresher" the ovule. Conversely, the "staler" the ovule, the browner/more dried up the pistils.
In human terms, once the pistils have turned brown, the ovule is past being fertilized and that calyx/pod/bract holding the ovule and pistils, is equivalent of having reached menopause.
So, the fact that some pistils are turning brown is completely normal in the cannabis reproductive cycle and is not an issue for concern, it is just that those calyxes/pods/bracts that have become too old to grow seeds.
Yes, the white crystals/trichomes are what contains the THC and other cannabinoids that get you high, and are also a good sign of the plant ripening and maturing.
Aroma can come and go throughout the flowering cycle depending on what type of cannabinoid synthesis is occurring at that time and will eventually increase in intensity as the flowers ripen, Again, this is a normal part of the flower maturation process.
Sometimes the lack of smell is because we as humans get used to the smell and don't notice it as much anymore, a bit like a person who works at a fish market and can't smell anything fishy anymore. Invite a friend over and I bet they will say your plants stink!
Hope this helps, Organoman.
