8/22/24: Noticing some curling on the leaves. Everything I see online says it's most likely light or heat stress, so I'll raise the lights a couple inches just to be safe. 8/23/24: The color seems to be improving, as well as the curling fingers on the leaves. I'm hopeful things will look much better soon, although the yellowing of the center vein in some of the leaves and spotting/burnt tips in pictures A-D are worrying. I'll keep an eye on things as I start to learn how to properly feed these gals. I'm trying my best and learning a lot along the way. 8/24/24: Man these gals are growing. still keeping an eye on those spots and the slightly burnt tips. 8/25/24: Took the advice of the awesome growers on the site and topped the ladies today. soils dry, I'll be feeding these gals tonight before work once the lights kick back on. 8/26/24: soil was dry so I upped the nutes to recommended and fed the gals. Also gave the ladies a turn, in an attempt to prevent any wind stress or anything. Probably pointless, but better safe than sorry I guess. 8/27/24: Holy hell these gals are looking good (I think lol). They're growing quick as hell. I feel like I've finally dialed in the nutes, or at least getting close to where they should be. 8/28/24: End of week 3 and I couldn't be happier with these gals. Growing big and fast, going to start thinking about LST or defoliation soon possibly.

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.

As a beginner, this site has been such an amazing resource. Being able to ask you guys questions, and get such great advice from all you more experienced folk has been extremely helpful. Most importantly, however, the community being so kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful has not only made this whole learning experience a lot less intimidating and difficult, but also a lot more fun. HUGE thank you to everyone that takes the time to comment, answer, and help out!!!

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!
