Sowed in red Solo cups filled with mix of Build-a-Soil 3.0 and a little coco.
Will be growing in an Earthbox for the first time using Build-a-Soil 3.0 and Build-a-Flower top dress.
Also will be growing in a new grow room I built in my attic. I live in a northern climate and temperatures get VERY low. Grow box is insulated to an R-50 in most places. On the doors, it's just an R-25. That's more insulated than your standard refrigerator, so I'm hoping the lights alone will keep it warm enough. However, I do have a small (200W) flat panel space heater that can kick in if needed. The air intake is a little worrying given the potential icy attic air. I have a duct coming from an interior room so it's not pulling in -20F attic air, but I have some concerns that it won't work. We'll see! The grow room is small: 2'x4' (5.5'H).
The pictures of the seedlings in the cups were taken on 10/15 (sown 10/10). I have them under a Spider Farmer SE1000 at 100%. Light is around 24" above seedlings. Maybe a little intense, but they are doing well so far.

Grow Questions
MisterGoblinstarted grow question 2 years ago
Can anyone tell me what is going on in the Day 36 pictures? I thought it was light burn because it's only on the topmost leaves of the taller plant. Someone told me pH issue.

I feel a PH of 7 should not be drastic enough to cause these issues in a soil based grow, soil regulates its PH quite well. To me this looks more like an issue with lighting and they might be to close as that could be why only the tall plant is being affected. If any foliar feeding is being done I would not do that with lights on.
Good Luck!

I would have to agree with what someone told you. It looks like a PH issue to me, Especially if you are still at a PH of 7. You want to be in the range of 6-7 so 6.5 is where you want to try to keep it. Being on the top edge of the range you can start to get deficiencies because the plant starts to have trouble up taking nutrients. Like Roberts said. Check the PH of your runoff. If it is not in range then you can start to run into issues.
This would also make sense as to why the taller plant is the only one showing it. "Generally" When plants eat more then they drink then the EC/PPM goes down which in turn usually the PH will go up. When they eat less then they drink then the EC/PPM goes up and the PH will go down, A bigger plant will eat more then a smaller plant making the amount of food less. This is a general observation as PH can go up/down for many reasons.
Happy Growing

My guess is you've got nute issues because of your pH.... 7 is pretty high, especially in flower and some important nutes aren't readily available to the plant at that pH. You need to get it down to 6.2 as a "sweet spot" in flower....
If you've got a lockout because of your pH, just throwing calmag or dolomite or whatever at her isn't going to do anything... You're going to need to flush her out (3x the pot volume of pH'd water - so if you're growing in a 3 gallon pot, that means 9 gallons of water through her). Test the runoff of that water to make sure you've gotten the pH in the runoff down... Then, after she's dried out from that, you can resume your nutes at 1/2 strength for the first feed. One thing I like to do with my soil grows is to topdress with 1 tablespoon of Langbeinite 0-0-22 once a week throughout the grow... that seems to help completely avoid calcium deficiencies (as long as the pH is controlled) as well as obviously giving a good boost to flowering.
Good luck!

Hey bro!
Abou transplant and watering, YES! You should water plenty after transplant for the roots to get acquainted to new environment. But, do not flood the plant and let it all soaked and wet.. just give her plain water and make sure everyplace is wet.
About the leaves in the last pics.. I would say PH or genetics... but I would not worry that much unless it start spreading... and be aware of mold in this humidity... mold does not forgive. =)
Good luck and happy growing!

@amazongrow, Thank you for the tips! I think the issue is basically resolved, but I messed up so many things early on that the plants are pretty stunted. Oh well, I'll get 'em next time.
