Germination
a year ago
After one full day soaking in distilled water, then sitting in the paper towels for another full day, 3 out of the 4 of the seeds had started sprouting. I then transplanted the 3 germinated seeds into their final 3 gallon fabric pots. I put the seeds into a seedling soil with mixed perlite and mykos, which is then surrounded by FoxFarm Ocean forest w/ perlite and mykos. Overall it felt successful, but I do question if I buried them too deeply, I didn't use a ruler and used my finger, making a hole about an inch or so long, up to the first joint on my index finger, then covered loosely. I have a major concern for one however, after finding what appeared to be a broken taproot among the soil after a light watering. Also found a weird orange, seemingly hollow ball next to it, which when I squeezed it exploded. My instinct was that that was the Taproot and shell, but it also could just be other bits in the soil, as it did have other things like small sticks in it. Will just have to monitor as I don't want to dig around to find out. The following day however the final seed starting sprouting a small root, about the length of the seed itself. Will plant in soil in probably the next 12 hours or so.

I suspect this seedling is either overwatered or underwatered, but unsure. Idk how often it was watered, but I have 3 others in same soil/tent doing fine. Soil doesn't look or feel wet, just slightly damp. The leaves have been curled since it sprouted. Its a 5 days old autoflower

All 4 seedlings have slight yellow tips, which judging from feedback is caused by the hot FFOC soil. Appears healthy apart from tips, will continue to monitor and not fed any nutes yet. Still watering only about a cup and a half a day, until finger is damp in soil then letting soil dry until rewatering.

Missed a couple weeks posting, life got busy and haven't been able to monitor to care for these plants like I wanted to. A lot has changed with these plants, they have grown quite a bit now and I have done low stress training to all plants except for the smallest, tho I have been somewhat training it by pulling branches down to expose them to more light, just not the main stem like the others. This week tho I have noticed quite a bit of problems arise, and not sure what it is, as the symptoms appear somewhat different in each plant, but all plants have had the same levels of nutrients. Growth has slowed on all plants. Plant 1 - The largest, growth still appearing but has developed quite a bit of yellow to it, with 1 particular fan leaf towards to top being significantly yellow, with both 1 yellow spot on a few brown spots on it, tho only on 2 fingers, the other fingers are less yellow more green with no spots. The leaves also are very droopy, and some of the leaves toward the top have clawing at the tips, tho not so much towards the bottom . Some fan leaves at the bottom have also started turning slightly yellow along the bottom of the leaf, with one leave having a brown dead tip. The first serrated leaves have also died and are curled up. The white pistols have started appearing tho, about 2 little hairs, a cm or so long. Plant 2 - seems to be better overall but has an even more troubling looking leaf on it, it's very yellow and has multiple brown spots on it, covering all 3 fingers. It's a bottom leaf, being on the 1st node, but only the 1 side, the opposite fan leaf has no yellowing or spots. Growth has somewhat slowed and leaves are droopy with a slight claw. Also the very top new growth, the small little leaves appear to be matted down, and are usually not pointing upwards like before. White hairs have started, tho some look a little different and twisty. First serrated leaves have also died Plant 3 - the plant that has had the least growth lately, with very dark green leaves and the new baby leaves on top have been super matted down. No yellowing, no spots I can see. The leaves at the bottom have slight clawing, but the newer ones at top don't. Very concerned about his one, because even with problems I have noticed some growth in the other plants, but not in this one. First serrated leaves dead. Smaller pistols then the others, can't tell if every node has them yet Plant 4 - the smallest of all the plants, as it also germinated longer than the others, tho weirdly maybe the healthiest, I have done no last to the main stem, only tying down nodes to expose them to more light. No yellowing or real dark green leaves, the new growth on top appears healthy and up, and no major drooping or no clawing. First serrated leaves still appear healthy. No pistols appear to have developed yet. All plants have been feed only maybe 2-3 times so far, giving them 2 ml of ph perfect advanced nutrients micro, grow, and bloom. Also have been giving silica boost every other watering. I only water about 1 liter between all four plants once a day, sometimes skipping days. Unsure of how much I need, and have only been watering when the soil looks very dry and the top soil is dry. I suspect I may have had too much light, and too close, so I have lowered the intensity and raised the height today. Was at like 700 ppfd about 15 inches about canopy I think.

Plant has only 1 leaf like this, and the opposite fan leaf appears normal. Another plant has a similar leaf like this but with less spots, and one yellow or bleach spot. But only 1 leaf on each plant. My latest diary entry has more info, any help appreciated.

You should NEVER try to flush soil it only causes over saturating of the medium and more problems than you started with anyone who offers that advice has clearly never grown in soil and is parroting something he/she has seen somewhere online
