8/15/24: Man these gals grew fast. The tips yellowing and slightly curling concern me, I'll be ordering a TDS meter after work so I can start testing the runoff. Adjusted the light height a bit as to not blast them. 8/16/24: Transplanted them into their final home today. Soil was definitely not dry enough but realized when it was too late. Hopefully these girls recover OK. Upped the nutrients to the recommended. 8/17/24: Lucy is looking a little sad after the transplant but the gals are looking better than I expected, honestly. I botched the hell out of the transplant, but I'm hoping they recover in a day or so. 8/19/24: Top was dry but there was still some weight to the grow bags and mid/bottom felt cold/moist so I sprayed the top with regular RO water(pH'ed to 5.8) and gave the girls a quarter turn just prevent any wind burn from the fans(most likely pointless) 8/20/24: Girls are looking bigger but I noticed some yellowing starting, wondering if I'm not giving enough nutrients. Soil was pretty dry so I upped the nutrients to the recommended for week 2 and gave the girls another feeding, until runoff. Still trying to get the hang of finding that sweet spot between not dry enough and too dry. All of this has been a very fun, very nerve-racking(due to my constant over-worrying lol) learning experience for me so far. 8/21/24: Amazed at the rate these gals grow, but definitely worrying now. Noticing tiny burns on the edges, and the yellowing has gotten more noticeable on Ethel(seen in pictures ex:1&2) and Lucy seems noticeably more droopy. I really hope this is something I can quickly and easily fix/reverse. The TDS Meter will arrive later tonight, so I'll be able to test the runoff of my feeding from now on. I also saved some runoff from yesterday for me to test once it arrived, hopefully it hasn't been sitting too long.

KingMickeystarted grow question 21 days ago
Just recently transplanted(1gal - 5gal), first-timer so it didn't go as smoothly as I planned or hoped. The girls look a little sad, which I hear is pretty normal this soon after transplanting, but is there anything I can do that can help the ladies make a full/quick recovery?

They are going to recover perfectly in just a few days. Give them some time to get used to their new environment and make new roots/drink the moisture from the fresh soil and they will peak up again!😊 I think they are looking very good for your first grow! 😊

The yellowing has gotten worse and I'm noticing slightly burnt tips/edges and some droop. Could this be burn/deficiency or over/underwatering? A combination? Is there anything I can do to fix this early or is it just a matter of giving them some time and less nutrients? Thanks!

Difficult to tell, but my guess would be a combination of nitrogen deficiency (the yellowing is quite uniform) and a little overwatering. Mg deficiency the leaf veins stay quite green and the rest of the leaf lightens.

I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

They are looking happy and healthy. You can definitely top, just take off as little as you can on the top node. Sometimes you might need to wait a day or 2 for it to open up so you can cut just the tip off. That helps a lot for them to not take too much of a hit.

Your doing everything spot on and for your first time aswel. I might be wrong but your perlite is telling me too much water or not leaving medium to dry out almost between water/feed etc.. Good luck mate Happy growing 👍

Those Strawberry strains can be a bit finicky from my experience. Fingers crossed it turns out great for you! It looks like you’ve done your homework and are well-prepared. Good luck!

@BusyBeeFarmer, Thank you! Yeah this is my first time trying to grow anything honestly so I'm trying to idiot-proof myself as much as I can lol.
