So, this time I'll try in soil, organic. Planted 3 seeds of Banana Daddy from Ethos, only 2 germinated. Just did a really little mix with a small amount of bactrex/mycotrex in the soil (light mix Plagron)

first day in the culture box under a grow light. I'll transplant them in the final pot in a few days when the roots gets a bit stronger. planning to do and topping to LST to fimming combination or a mainlining technique

The leaves of my two seedlings are curving down and it turns a little bit palw green. I think I overwatered the first days, but now it looks like the substrate is really dry (I didn't watered the last 2 days) but I'll wait a little more. So is it the problem or I miss something ?

i had same look after overdrying them and using wrong ph. would check those two points. easy way - transplanting into bigger pot, giving humidity dome and good watering regime. chlorinated water sometimes can bring the same result, but it takes a month or so, so not this case i would say.

so I think I overwatered a little bit at the beginning and it was super small pots. So at least they have good roots system so I transplanted into the final 8l pots. I did the mix with the substrate with the Startrex, Mycotrex, and the Organic Tabs (1.5 tabs per plant for me). And I watered with a little bit of orgatrex and bactrex after transplanting.

Okey so the leaves stopped curling down but I found a little weird because the leaves are pretty pale, and sort of a pale darker stain on the leaves of 1 plant.. never seen that, anyone knows what can it be ?

I've had exactly the same kind of marking on young leaves and it turns out I had given a little too much fertilizer a little too early... it wasn't much of a problem and once I had backed off on the nutes a bit, the newer leaves were just fine. I think that might be your problem as well - so I'd suggest just back off a little bit on the doseage for the next week - maybe cut it in half for her ... if the others are not showing the same thing, then THEY are able to tolerate that doseage... different plants, even from the same strain and same seed bank, will often require different treatment - identical twins aren't exactly identical! Good luck and enjoy the journey!

they're going really well, can't be more happy. they reached 6 nodes so I started the main lining technic, hope it will be good. 28.10 deleted the big leaves of the first node where i topped. and started training them. they reacted reaaaally well to the stress.

definitely overfed, but also check your pH -- they both are potentially correct. If pH is off and it's only slightlay overfed, could be a micronute lockout, which is rare issue and more likely caused by pH. More than 1 thing causes those sorts of spots. Download a leaf symptom chart from a google image search. Learn differences between mobile and immobile nutes and how you can use that to distinguish between some things that look the same otherwise. Extremely lush leaves are a sign of overfeeding. Clawing tends to occur with it too. Seeing previous question, looks like pH has been an issue in past... so just double check that - soil slurry or runoff... Don't expect those to be precise, but if they are leaning one way or another expect it to be a little further out in that direction from "7". If you do a slurry, always use same volume of water and a known/consistent pH, otherwise you'll be interpretting different results caused by the inconsistencies as much as anything we are concerned about.

so yes I really anticipated tooooo much the stretch, so I have really small plants but looking pretty good. I'll know that for next time if I do main lining with the plant, the stretch will probably not go higher that much.

The leaves on one plant started to turn a little pale, and with brown/purple spots. And on the other plant it starts to turn more yellow, probably Nitrogen deficiency for this one. What do you guys think ?

They look a little underfed and or the ph may be off a little. If they were overfed, alot of your pistols would have browned already.

I'm not sure but I think it's a Phosphorus deficiency, right ? And if it is, how can I fix that ? just adding more alga bloom ?

Hey Growmie, You are definitely right this is going to be a phosphorus deficiency, to fix this issue flush your plant with clean, pH’d water that contains nutrients that includes phosphorus, for your regiment it seems your Bio PK 5-8 is your source of phosphorus. This will also remove any nutrient salts that may be affecting the uptake of phosphorus and help restore pH to the proper levels.

I really enjoyed this strain to grow, did a little mistake and flipped them to 12/12 too early (I anticipated too much the stretch and with the mainlining technique, stretch was not that bigger). Amazing smell, full of trichomes. And probably next time I won't use the tabs from biotabs because you can't really control how much nutriments your plant will have, but the others products from biotabs worked really well!
