This is my first grow kinda! I started a week before this but messed up really badly! I’m growing in Coco and Pearlite mixture and using Reverse Osmosis Water. What I had no idea was that both Coco and RO water have basically NONE ZERO ZIP NADA Nutrients! My seedlings did not like that. they turned yellow in a couple of days and I had no idea what was going wrong. EVERYTHING I read said not to start nutrients until weeks 2 or 3 and so I listened! However what I found out is that growers don’t always tell you the minor small steps they take before their grow such as....Buffing their damn Coco! So the 2nd time around which I’m still saying it’s my first time I soaked my Coco in RO water with 4ml per Gallon of Cal-Mag Plus with a PH of 6.2. Because the Coco was pre-buffed this time, which means that it was still pretty moist upon planting the seed, of course I ended up overwatering the plant. This caused the leaves to curl down and inward so I took quick action and I fixed the drainage by drilling more holes in the pot and tapping the pot on the saucer to drain excess water. A decent amount of water came out and a couple hours later the leaves were back to normal and even looked like they’ve grown (a great sign)! On Day 6 I decided to transplant to 1 gallon pots instead of those cheap small green pots I was using because I seen some good growth (YES! I know DO NOT TRANSPLANT AUTOS! Lol). I figured I’d rather transplant now and if the plant didn’t recover then at least I only wasted a couple days and not weeks or months due to this being an autoflower. I really wanted to grow in 3 gallon pots but the larger size quite frankly scared me because I know I’m a heavy waterer. I sprinkled some mycorrhizae in the hole before transplanting because I ripped the hell out of some of the roots on the plant and I needed it to recover quickly. Did it work? We’ll see next week!

Not sure what’s going on here. It’s happening to 3 of my plants and I’m not sure whether its good or bad. I haven’t watered in 3 days so I don’t think it’s overwatering because it just happened today.

It's surely heat! Or light burn, and heat.

See something? Say something! PLEASE If you see anything wrong feel free to inform me! I’m brand new at this and I’m trying to learn as I go. Thankfully this community is amazing and there are so many great growers and diaries for me to model after. I look forward to completing my first grow and learning a ton during the process. Feel free to follow my diary and help a brother out!

@FLorence_Bentley, You know what? Now that you mentioned it, I raised my light from 18” to 24” and put my heat regulator from 73-76 degrees F . I didn’t even think that it could’ve had an impact on it but perhaps it did. A mixture of everything. Thats why I love this community and just cannabis growers in general. The majority of people are very helpful.

@GetLit420, This is awesome. Nothing wrong. I think maybe approach with a low key strategy. Sometimes the leaves can curl or flop and it has more to do with light or temp fluctuations. At least that is how it works with outdoor regular plants. I thought for a while I may have been under watering mine but nope. They were just fine. Good luck!

I was nervous about creating a diary because I wasn’t sure whether or not the plant will continue to grow and I didn’t want to look dumb lol. Regardless though what happens I will continue to update the diary weekly and hopefully everything turns out well!

@GetLit420, don't worry about any of that! We are all here to learn. That is the fun part. To experiment and to grow along the way as we encounter problems. My plants are getting some minor pest issues because its been windy and I stopped bring them in at night. I am treating them for that and I'm confident in them growing. Remember, they are weeds and weeds are resilient.
