So, this week I had my first qualified 'dumbass' mistake. I switched to flower, all went well. Plants seemed to be doing exceptional, looking pretty, strong, no problem at all. Periodically I checked for bad leaves and removed any that were already falling off on their own. I set up the net, wanted to to do Screen of Green. Shouldn't have. The net I have is low quality, and barely fits my grow space. So tying any stems to it was difficult. And one day, as I was adjusting, I accidentally snapped 2 stems off of the plant (one of them was the highest branch😵). From what I can read, it shouldn't be *that* bad; The plant will instead focus it's energy in the remaining bud-sites. I will have decreased my yield, but honestly yield isn't an issue. I really just want to see this grow to completion. But I'm thinking that this has probably really stressed the plant, so I'll be watching it closely. If it doesn't pull through, then I'm alright with that. I've removed the net. --- But, it's all about making mistakes and learning. And now I know to not have really low quality screens. On the flip side, I'm really starting to get a good grasp of watering the pots by weight, so I know when I've saturated the soil and when I need to water.

Manmanstarted grow question a year ago
Plant 2 has less trichomes than plant 1, despite being the same strain. The hairs are darkening and curling earlier, and the calyx have slightly purpled tips. Is this just unlucky pheno? Or if it's signs of something wrong, then what could it be?

Appears to be some feeding differences too. But most obvious is the first pic appears to be pollinated up top

Looking good! Dont sweat those yellow spots, I feel like they just sometimes occur during rapid growth. If your soil mix is anything close to the usual light-mixes available you should have enough nutrients for the first few weeks in there. Got some RQS NorthernLight seeds with my last order, so I'll watch closely😏

@Fuzzel, Thanks! I'm using BioBizz All-Mix. I'm loosely following the nutrient chart that is provided for the soil. For some reason, the yellow-spotted plant is growing significantly faster than the other. I also noticed it had a much bigger root-system when I transplanted it.
