Plant as far as I can tell has grown slow but strong. Seed sprouted 7 days ago. Second set of true leaves came in yesterday. Brown spot on cotyledon is marking from where the seed husk hung on. Removed plastic rap humidity cover to let some air move. I’ve only been feeding water, no nutrients, PH to around 6.4 I have been slowly moving the plant closer to the light to see what they can tolerate because I have Stonepoint 40 W LED bulbs combined with a 30 W general electric grow bulb, there is no good suggestion as far as how far away the plant should be.

First grow. I am growing in promix ultimate organic mixed with vermiculite and worm castings. When should I add nutes, even at the most minute dose, for the first time? I’ll be using dr.earth starter fert 2-4-2 alternating with a 2-2-2 liquid feed for start of true veg.

3 weeks after because the promix contain enough nutrients for at least 3 weeks. Even after 3 week I would give nutrients only when needed by watching the plant leaves. Moreover it seems that the less powerful is the light and the longest the nutrients are lasting in the soil , it is due to a slower stimulation of the plant by the low light so she cannot achieves the same photosynthesis than under more watts so she’s using less nuts

Stem started to fall a bit, propped up with wire. Noticing a slight blue hue to the tips of my oldest leaves though all new growth is green. Suspect a nitrogen deficiency, though it seems early on. Will watch fo changes in the next few days. Overall growth still impressive to the beginners untrained eye. Started LST 4/24

There is a purple/blue tint to the tips of my older leaves. New growth coming in lighter green. Slightly red and purples stems only at base of oldest leaves. Leaves also taco curling slightly. Thinking phosphorous deficiency at this point, maybe combination N toxicity and heat?

You can't have deficiencies with your soil mix, only if the deficiency is due to another issue like an over watering. The N toxicity would have stunt the grow , you have a normal green colour , not to dark. Don't worry your mix is pretty enriched so no deficiencies will show up until 3 weeks and it's not a mix that is too hot so you should experiment no excess

Noticed yellowing in the tips of the lowest set of leaves. Watching for now, waiting to see if it will correct itself. All other color and growth is great Update: definitely nitrogen toxic. Got talon leaves, cupping leaves, and the same two with yellow tips. Still gonna just ride the nitrogen wave. Keep flushing.

The tips of my lowest set of leaves are turning yellow. Start of week 3. I have not added any nutes to a soil mix of pro mix ultimate organic, EWC, and vermiculite. How should I correct it? Is it time to feed?

Nutrient burn can also happen when plants or seedlings are grown directly in soil that has a high level of nutrients (a “hot” soil or growing medium) such as fresh compost, manure or a nutrient-amended soil mix. This usually happens to young seedlings, and they will “grow out of it” as they begin to use up all the nutrients in the soil, as long as more nutrients are not added. In general, plants use overall higher levels of nutrients as they get more light. Therefore plants in relatively low light conditions can get nutrient burn at lower levels of nutrient than the same plant would under bigger grow lights. Each cannabis plant is different, so you might have just one out of many plants get nutrient burn! That is completely normal. Sometimes you’ll also see nutrient burn leaf tips also curl or “claw”. The clawing can be caused by an overabundance of Nitrogen (Nitrogen Toxicity), which is common for plants that are experiencing nutrient burn from overall high levels of nutrients. Notice the tips of your marijuana leaves showing the first signs of nutrient burn by turning yellow, tan, gold or brown. A light case of nutrient burn will only affect the tips of your leaves. The yellow tips will eventually turn rusty brown and crispy. If you do not correct the problem, you may also notice the burn slowly spreading from the tips to the whole leaf. I have heard some growers say that a little nutrient burn is actually a good thing, because it means that you are giving your plant the highest level of nutrients it can use. A lot of growers have the mistaken idea that nutrients are somehow “food” for your cannabis plants, and so more food = more energy = bigger yields. This is wrong, instead nutrients are more like a multi-vitamin for your plant. Just like you can’t give a child 10 multivitamins a day to make them grow faster, you can’t give your plants 10x the regular does of nutrients and expect anything good to happen. The real “food” for your plant is light. Your plant produces energy from light through a process known as photosynthesis, which is most effective when the plant has healthy green leaves.

Still great growth, despite the effects of a suspected nitrogen overload. Still no nutes. Just have been the worm castings added to the soil at seed.

Plant seems to be bouncing back from its state of droopie-ness after its first feeding. Slow growth after topping 5/9.

Plant has sustained a droopieness that I am beginning to think is to much heat or under watering. Overall growth slowed, especially since topping almost 2 weeks ago. But I have seen some good growth in the last few days and her next feeding comes up sitting 6 days.

Flipping to flower earlier than intended. New seeds here Friday. Signs of it being male, going to confirm, toss, rinse, and repeat. This time with real genetics. Not bag seed. 5/31 - pulling him down. Clearly male. Pollen found on leaves. Time to scrub out and go again. Learned a lot from my first grow. Growing under a homemade lighting system of 150W, and using dr. Earth (Home Depot) fert. I feel I did good. Just ordered HLG quantum board V2 to add 100w to my job. Also have new seeds arriving this week! Stay posted, coming soon
