My indoor seedlings did just this same thing, small discoloration and mild curling. I've read its pretty common for the cotyledons to turn out this way and not to worry. Just make sure you've got decent humidity(maybe a cup over the top), good drainage holes, a good temperature and decent light but not excessively intense . I too have a basement and wow is it difficult to keep up the overall room temperature unless i have a heater run nonstop. The best i can do is have them in a tent or enclosed space and allow my lights to help with the temp and then boost mildly with a heater during the dark hours. I see your plants looking healthy this week so good job on keeping up the battle.✌️

A little delayed. Just switched the light schedule and started the nutrients. Using a watering probe to hopefully feed correctly. I feel like it’s really short but for my first grow just trying to get through it. Still a little to cold in the basement but trying to warm it up.

The ppm for my nutrient solution was around 600 and I followed the schedule for fox farm. How do I increase the PPM, also what would you recommend for the best RH/Temp for the room as well the distance of light to top of plant?

Hey there so first with the rh/temp I'm constantly hearing about vpd(vapor pressure deficit) and that's essentially what that is heat and humidity. I was always thinking that high humidity in veg is great of coarse, the swampier the better, but flowering I'd always heard around 50% and a variety of temps but typically 70 degrees F. But now I'm hearing more about keeping things around 75 heat and 70% humidty is a good range to be...something about keeping things consistent is always a plus so if you choose lower rh for fear of pm etc then try to at least keep it constant. The fluctuation is sometimes what will cause more damage than running a higher rh or temp. With the ppm i believe it goes 0(RO water/distilled) -400(ive heard 700 also) being very hard water, and then as you add nutrients it will increase beyond that. If you have a tds meter with your ph pen that will check your plain water(tap or otherwise). Your nutrient water should fall somewhere in the 400-800 range, but that'll all depend upon your original water reading. You could increase the ppm either by using tap water versus r.o or i suppose by increasing the nutrients, basically use nutrient rich water. Science! Isn't it amazing and exhausting all at the same time? 😊

Had some nutrient burn this week so started to flush on Wednesday still using ph water. Going to use 1/4 strength nutrients starting tomorrow hopefully she will respond better. Any advice is always accepted!!

Tried to do some defoliation this week which is the first three pictures and the second three are from this evening. This is the going to be the fourth week of 12/12 should there be more of a formation of bud or are things looking okay. Still having trouble with the humidity even with a humidifier in the tent. Temps have been regulated finally using a heater outside the tent. Still hoping for something good with my first plant!!

Buds began to form, providing nutrients every other day. Humidity finally regulated around 30-40%. Plant was very bushy so after reading other grows I decided to remove a lot of the fan leaves. Still trying to bend some of the branches to allow the lower ones to get more light. Will see how the growth changes next week!

Keep going 😁👍 everything looks super.👌 Stay 1/3 - 2/3 with nutrients to dont overfeed her. Maybe you can go closer with your leds but i dont know which lights you use 😅 Good luck ✌️

Allowing her to just do her thing this week. Tried to remove some of the smaller buds to concentrate the energy upwards. Should I still be defoliating the larger fan leaves?

Hope she is doing well. Temp and humidity are holding steady. Still trying to figure out the water and nutrient schedule. Tips on a couple leaves changed early in the week so I backed off and just flushed her

Picture 4 this week. I know I had nute burn early in the grow but have limited the amount being added every other to third watering. Not sure what is causing this change. Any advice will help!

So essentially whats going to happen if you over feed in a soil medium is that it will retain for much much longer then say a soiless or hydroponic set up . With that being said if you noticed nutrient burn and then slowed down because you seen that you did well the only thing I would have changed is to feed it PH corrected water until the issue was resolved and not lower the dossages . To me your plant looks like its suffering from nitrogen toxicity , you wanna line up your nutrient solution to be more PK oriented because the formation of flowers is really really dependent on it in flowering . The signs for nitrogen toxicity are as follow's the leaves start to really darken and then the tips elongate and make a claw like effect which growers will call "Clawing". So for time being I would recommend that only feed with PH corrected water because to me there is still lots and lots and lots of nutrients in the soil . One thing about nutrients is that typically people wont start feeding the plant nutrients until its showing a sign of deficiency this way you can prevent over feeding leading to toxic levels . I hope this information helps you understand whats happening here and the very easy way you can fix it :) . I wish you the best of luck and your plants a speedy recovery ! -Happy Growing!

Things look okay. Continuing to monitor the tips for changing color. Making sure she is dry before watering to make sure no mold growth. Will continue this adventure.

Beginning of the week did a full flush to try and really remove any nutrients locked in the soil and plant. Let her dry out for three days then came down with the flu and when I finally checked on her she was completely droopy. Thankfully she rebounded nicely with a good watering and hoping she continues to fill out the buds.

Doing a flush this week thinking will be harvesting come the beginning of next week. The hairs have been changing colors and trying to keep an eye on growth. Been reading about 48-72 hours of darkness before harvesting. Trying to get any tips out there that will help with the final two steps of this first grow. Harvesting and curing.

Still not sure if I should harvest yet. Tried to see the colors under magnification but still looking pretty clear/not cloudy. Only using ph water now. No more nutes hoping to harvest soon to begin the next step

Didn’t get a ton of weight but also for my first run I was happy. Cured the buds for over weeks and tasted the first test on 4/20. I can’t wait to begin my second grow.
