In day 3 of growth, the leaves are slightly pointing upwards and the stem is stretching (it is 8 cm / 3 inches long). Also the light is set to 50% and about 30cm/12in from the seedling. Is it normal? Sorry if it is a stupid question it's my first growth.

Stretching is normal, if it becomes so much the top leans left or right it needs more like. It is Stretching to find the light Hense the stetch. The leave pointing up is called praying and is what they do when happy and all environmental conditions are met such as temp and humidity. Keep Temps between 70-80 Keep humidity between 65-75% during this seedling stage. Google a vpd chart and follow it. It will give you the correct Temps and Humidity for each stage of growth this will ensure your plant is happy and able to grow at its peak performance Goodluck.. please pick me as answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate your support gromie 😃 🙏

After checking out your journal and a few of your other questions, the problem is the plant needs some nutrients since you haven't given it any yet, just judging from the photos it could be a Nitrogen deficiency.

Do you see those white hairs sticking out? That means it's a calyx which is the female part of the plant. The male parts look a bit similar but don't have those white pistils so that's how you can tell next time. If you look in my current growdiary (6 strains in a 4x4) you can see what a hermie with male pollen sacks looks like. I had one this run, took some pictures in week 10 where you can clearly see the difference with your own pictures ;)

Should i be worried? Lower leaves have yellowed and i've cutted them to avoid rotting, while the other leaves present slight burning on the tips. I've already flushed out the soil with about half pot volume of water. What should i do?

If the tips turn brown and curl up and in it is nute burn. If Brown and straight it is potassium deficiency. Very commonly misdiagnosed

In the last question, i asked if it was nute burn and apparently it was but now not only the lower leaves are turning yellow but also some of the upper ones. Also the yellow leaves on the bottom were easy to pluck, idk if it helps.

Told ya: "Since you're only using Bio Bloom now, your plant is out of balance, lacking nitrogen on the one hand, which is still needed in small quantities until harvest, and also seems to have a slight excess of PK." You should return to your nutrient program now, with both Bio Grow and Bio Bloom (follow the all mix table).

She should be ready on day 70-75 from what i have read from Barney's seed, but the buds seems a bit too small. She has some deficiency/nute problems is that correlated?

AutoflowersSucKanswered grow question a year ago
Whispy buds can come from a few things as far as i know. One big contributor is lack of light intensity. The other is malnutrition, and especially Phosphorous and Potassium when they are lacking. An over abundance of Nitrogen will also hinder bud development. It's sometimes difficult to see a plant in a photo and have it be an accurate representation because cameras have different exposures and adapt to light in different ways, but if the colour in the pic is accurate, then your plants look pretty pale to me which can be a few things that cause that, from under feeding to, pH imbalance, over watering to root rot. Looking at your diary i notice 2 things, first, there's no mention of a pH value. Are you monitoring your pH?? Secondly, you have leaf tip burn which suggests slight over feed so that leads me to think that it's not a lack of nutrition, it's a soil pH problem. And i mean this is just my guess based on what i see. I also see necrosis on higher up leaves. Over water necrosis usually shows on bottom leaves. Upper necrosis suggests Calcium deficiency, but it's not typical to my eyes. But then again deficiencies display in a broad array of ways that aren't cut and dry. Make certain your pH is in check. If you're in Coco shoot for 6.2. Calcium is best absorbed at that pH. Magnesium, potassium and phosphorous are all readily available at 6.2 pH. When the shit hits the fan, and I've been unable to resolve my plants issue, there is one fail safe thing i always do. And people frown on doing it and i say to them, go fuck yourself (Elon Reference) lol. FLUSH your soil with 6.2 pH Tap water. If you don't have a pH pen, buy one. And don't get a cheesy chinese amazon knock off, get a decent one. HM meters are ok and relatively inexpensive compared to Blue Labs which are a laughable giant rip off that every stupid grower gets sucked into buying because they are expensive therefore must be the best lol, stupid.. Apera Make a way better one than Blue Labs and it's AA battery powered so you can replace them. It also has replaceable probes so you don't need to go buy a new pen every year or so. Highly recommend it. I flush my soil out so there is LOTS of run off out the bottom. This will wash out excess salt build up that could be the reason your plants are under performing and so pale. Basically you are resetting your soil in a sense. Correcting pH and cleaning up salt build up that stifle roots ability to uptake nutrients. Once you've flushed your soil, then put the plant back and give it a few days to allow that soil to dry out a bit so the pot feels light. Then re-feed at the appropriate dose for the week you are in, or you can give a half dose if that makes you more comfortable. Don't pick off any damaged leaves unless they are at least 50% damaged. Picking off affected leaves on a spreading problem will only serve to speed up the destruction of your plant. Because if the plant can't draw from the damaged leaf you picked off it will just start that much faster on a new leaf.

During flushing it lost a lot of color, should i just harvest it? For personal reason i can take care of her only for another week. Should i harvest now so that i can oversee the drying process or should i wait a bit and dry her unattended?

I don't think your plants ready for harvest yet, but if you only have 1 week then you gotta do what your gotta do. If you where to leave it on the plant and get to it later the plant would be so over ripe and amber it would act as a sleeping pill and put your brain on pause. Flushing with out the need to do it will strip the medium of all its nutrients and the plant will start to cannibalize, it does not do anything good for it and flashing is a bit of a myth if its not needed, The only time it is needed is if you are doing it to avoid a catastrophic event like you feed way to much, the PH is very wrong there a best in the medium that needs treatment. Doing it end of grow in the mindset the plant will use up its buildup nutrients in the plant is a lie, its not how it works. they don't store nutrients in buds. So yea, harvest as late as you can, dry it and cure it and hope its ok. The buds look immature right now and prob will be very light and fluffy however they should still get you high. Good Luck!
