Also, a lot of people are asking about soil and nutrients, I'm using a nutrient rich soil from www.just-cannabis.co.za

Your plant looks pretty good. You don't need to water each day. Instead you should let the soil dry out somewhat (not to the point of the plant wilting), and then water it to get most of it moist. Doing so encourages root development. Wet/dry cycle. Are you measuring the PH of the water you are giving it and correcting it if necessary? Not doing so can eventually lead to problems. Does the soil have fertilizer in it? If so, for how long does the fertilizer last? What is the PPFD for the plant? You can measure the Lux with a Lux meter app for your phone and then convert it here: https://www.waveformlighting.com/horticulture/convert-lux-to-ppfd-online-calculator You generally need 617 uMols - 925 uMols of PPFD. Maybe you need to bring the lights somewhat closer to the plant. Read more here: https://420expertguide.com/resource/grow-light-par-ppf-ppfd-values-decoded/ What is the humidity? Humidity along with temperature affect photosynthesis. For maximum yield you generally need a pot between 12-19 liters. Small pots will prevent the plant from growing much (sometimes desirable), as it will get root-bound. Lastly, is there a fan blowing in the direction of the plant? Good air circulation helps to prevent mold / mildew.

@Fast_Buds, hi, I have no idea what I’m doing. Do you have any recommendations as to how much I should water a day and I’ve seen some smoothie auto diaries, and some plants are more developed than mine even though they’re the same age as mine, is there anything I could do to accelerate the growth?

Hey bro im subbed up an following ur grow lookn gud startn off. Try an take some pics with the lights off so u dnt get tht blurple color. That way we can see the proper color of her more. But from what i see it kinda looks like u maybe watering her to much. Are u making sure to let her dry out completely 100% inbetween each watering/feeding. lift the pot an make sure she dnt weigh much. I let them go to the point of just starting to wilt a tad then do a feeding. It helps increase root growth. An member bigger roots bigger fruits lol.

@HolyTrout, Ok that could be the soil is to hot so its burning up the lil plant. it cant handle nutrients like that usually wen they are that small. Ive seen alot of people have issues burning up babies like that cause of using soil similar to sumthn like u got. Im not a 100% sure what u got but i no if it has nutes in it already then that is prolly ur problem. An y usually people tend to get plain soils an use nutes themselves. Or put a buffer between the seedling an the bot soil. U do that by scooping out a handfull or two i do 2 of soil b4 planting and fill hole with plain promix or coco whatever u use then after the plant is so big it will grow to reach the soil that has nutes in it an will be old enuf to handle it. But yea i guess for now jus keep going like ur doing an jus member for next seeds maybe get different soil or atleast get alil plain soil to let it grow up in first. And if its autos ur growing do the handlful method like i was saying so u dnt gotta uppot. Otherwise if its a photo jus start in a small pot of plain soil an once it has some growth transplant to ur soil with nutes in it. Anyway hope that helps bro and gud luck. If u need any more help jus ask.

@HolyTrout, nutes in the soil are for the first 3 or 4 weeks. After the 4th week you should add low nutes

@FrostyBlaze420, hey bro, thought I was watering too much so I slowed down a bit but then the plant started looking ‘lifeless’ so right now I’m watering up to twice a day, around 100-150ml each time, I wait until the leaves start to droop a bit and then I water them. I’m using a soil from www.just-cannabis.co.za it comes with nutrients inside so I don’t have to add. I noticed like 3 days ago that the tips of the leaves look like they are drying up, they’re like shrivelling and falling off, I’ll attach a pic in the week 4 diary, any ideas? I researched a bit and found that it could’ve been from underwatering but I’m not sure

You should start to Lst her to get some light under her big leaves. Let the medium dry out and then flush her gently with a low npk. She looks ok. Get your temperaturs up to at least 25-26°c. 🤙

@HolyTrout, its low stress, give it a shot. Better than low g on the scale.
