greenpager Plant appears healthy. I attribute the relatively small/slow growth to fewer hours of sunlight exposure compared to indoor growing conditions. Water this week.

greenpager Looking back, I may have overwatered just a bit in the early weeks. Two days ago, I added to water a little Buds & Bloom, Holy Mackerel and molasses. Today one lower leaf and the 2 tiny seedling leaves show signs of distress (nutrient burn?). Topped immediately above 4th node (14 Apr). Watered only once this week with nutrient-free rainwater, but I haven't decided on nutrients for the next watering. Plant definitely appreciated a week away from watering. First hint of odor (very faint).
This is my 2d grow season and my first using organic rice hulls in soil mix and as mulch. Should I worry about the difference between carbonized rice hulls and my "regular" hulls? Does either alter soil balance of nutrients?
Thanks for taking time to respond. The powdery white appearance is not mold; it is residue from diatomaceous earth recently sprinkled and partially dusted from leaves. Speckled appearance may also leftover from minor thrip attack about 10 days ago. I agree that the plant should be further along by now and suspect that early overwatering (also) stunted growth of plant. Live and learn, etc.
Thanks in particular for input on organic rice hulls, which were recommended to me as an substitute for perlite that deters fungus gnat and other pest larvae. Whether the difference between carbonized and non-charred hulls affects risk for mold is the sort of information I seek (vs. to mulch or not) for purposes of general knowledge.
check behind the leaves but looks like a mold to me

greenpager Plant loved last watering (or else the rainwater flush the next day). With external temps above 80°, I direct an oscillating patio fan standing on screened porch about 6' away toward plant during the day. Plant moves onto screened porch every night under ceiling fan. Sprayed with Doctor Zymes Eliminator RTU twice this week after seeing more overnight thrip(?) damage on large fan leaves near bottom, THEN decided to prune away a few other fan leaves (inward facing, not attached to buds) and tuck a few others to maximize sun exposure. Gentle LST, which consists mostly of me gently pulling/bending branches downward (they stay in place for awhile). I tend to tilt plant slightly to maximixe sun exposure to interior of plant and to allow air flow under pot. Feeling good about the number of buds visible in upper half of plant. No nutes this week. Today one finger of one fan leaf has yellow specks visible from both sides of leaf. Dunno what that is and don't want to spray again before the weekend.
This morning I found yellow spots visible on both sides of this one leaf. Soil mix includes diatomaceous earth (I top off each week) + 1/4 mosquito dunk crumbled into topsoil. Are spots a sign of fungus? Insect? Too much rain? Remove leaf/part? Spray Dr Zymes? Ty!
There is a few issue it seem:
-white powdery mildew that you could treat spraying 4 part milk 6 part water (white stuff everywhere)
- thrips that you could treat efficiently with SPINOSAD (small white dot)
- calcium deficency (medium yellow dot on leaf tips)
This week's pics incl close-up of yellow spots visible on both sides of this one leaf. Soil mix includes diatomaceous earth (I top off each week) + 1/4 mosquito dunk crumbled into bits worked into topsoil. Are spots a sign of fungus? Insect? Too much rain? Something else? Ty!
Continually adding Diamataceous Earth will cause your substrate to become highly alkaline, not sure why you would be using it every week.
Yellow spots look like burning from feeding too much or too often or both maybe?
