HolyTrout Easy growing although I am a little worried as the stem isn’t straight up, it’s sort of angled to the side

HolyTrout Noticed the tips of the leaves are sorta drying up and falling off, no idea if it's over or under watering or maybe something else, also, a lot of leaves are forming at the bottom so, it's getting quite 'crowded', the leaves don't have a lot of space to grow and they're starting to droop. No idea what to do at this point.

HolyTrout Noticed I have a possible fungus gnat infestation, the leaves at the bottom are drying up and falling off and there are a couple little bugs flying around the plant. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of them?

HolyTrout Getting a bit worried, only grew 3cm this week. Was supposed to harvest this coming Tuesday but looks like she might take an extra 2-4 weeks.

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.

@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

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

@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.
