~~~~~5/15/18 - Watered + molasses. Runoff test for both plants revealed nutes were off the charts. Absolutely no clue where they came from--had to be the molasses. What is the NPK rating for molasses anyway?? Internet research says 1-0-5, but that doesnt account for the spike in N or P that I saw. No other possibility that I can see, though; some molasses had to have gotten into the runoff. Fae is continuing to crisp up, Mauve is losing her lower leaves too. I'm 99% it's nute toxicity.💀😷 Plan of action: A formal flush next watering. Probably wont make too much of a difference to Fae, but it could do Mauve some good. Hoping Fae ripens in the next 10 days, want to put her out of her misery. ~~~~~5/18/18 - Flushed both Fae and Mauve. Used 1/2 tsp Sledgehammer for 1 gal of pH 6.0 water. To each, I gave 2 gal of water + Sledgehammer and 1 gal of plain pH 6 water. I'm not sure about Sledgehammer. It's 10% "active ingredient" (yucca saponin) and 90% "inert ingredients." But what are the inert ingredients? Why does the stuff look thick & dark brown? What's in it?? Also, the more saturated the soil becomes with it, the SLOWER water seems to flow through--which directly contradicts the label, which says it makes water flow faster through the growing medium! Fae is nearly ready to harvest. Some of her trichomes are starting to turn amber. I'll likely harvest her in another week--before my trip, so I won't come back to an all-amber plant. Glad I flushed her today!

Hey there I was looking at your room setup, do you have any small oscillating fans in there? Also I read up about these "grow pots" "fabric pots" and apparently they keep your roots in great condition and they help to know if there's to much or little water because you can see and feel them. They're pretty inexpensive on Amazon. There's this duo who created this website growweedeasy.com and it actually had some really great info/pics etc on there. I hope she perks up for you, maybe her topping just is taking a little extra recovery time.

@Experimentgreen, yes, I have a little clip fan in there. I know exactly the type of pots you're talking about, and I may invest in one or two next grow. I've heard nothing but good things about them!

@DAREdropout, sounds like you really know your stuff. In my 45 years experience I have never heard of these pre-fertilized seeds. Please tell me more about them, my man!

@UncleDale, lol I meant the pics of the yellow seedlings were taken before they were fertilized. It couldnt have been nute burn because I hadn't given them any nutes yet. They seem to have responded very well to the nutes, though.

Looks to me that they have ODeed on nutes. The babies need nothing but water at this stage. And not that much water either. I really hope you haven't killed them. Good luck.

@UncleDale, my man, those were the babies pre-fertilized!

@DAREdropout, Mystery strains, so fun. Fae is perfect then, it's generally the term used to define faerie culture in fanatasy novels, known for being tricksters haha

@TheMachinist, Far out. I named Mauve after the color of her stem when she was a seedling. Fae got her name because after not germinating for 5 days, I went to throw her out and discovered that she had sprouted. The name Fae was to remind me to have faith that some seeds just need a little extra time. The whole reason I named them in the first place was because they were from a seed mix-pack and I have no idea what strains they are😛

Jim Butcher is an American author. Mauve is the name of a character, and fae is a common term in fantasy novels. Just happens I've read his work in the last couple years.

What @UncleDale is saying is that they shouldn't be yellow like that. I'm new myself but I know as well that you shouldn't be feeding them until week 3/4. Looks like you need some more light too, she looks to be stretching a bit...

@DAREdropout, yeah I live in Portland so it’s legal as long as it’s out of public view :) It’s a great feeling!

@anahatagardens, Can't wait for the day when I can grow outdoors. Not an option for me yet😣

@DAREdropout, check this out because I just had the same symptoms of nute burn with no nutes. It's from too much water being in the soil. I gave one of my plants too much water one time, and she's taking a little while to spring back. First the leaves curled down, then the new top leaves turned yellow, now the edges of the bottom leaves are looking burnt. All the symptoms of nute burn but not nute burn lol. I've just got mine under a small led strip as well as a 90w CFL in addition to the sun on nice days. Once the weather turns she'll be moving outside.

I would give them shots of water, literally shot glasses of water just around the stem when you water them. Don't soak up the entire pot because I think you may be suffocating your roots. I've been doing a lot of research the past couple days and all of your symptoms are starting to point to this. It's still reversable, they just need some TLC!!

@anahatagardens, I will certainly give that a try! I typically don't water until their leaves start to droop and the soil is dry 1/4 - 1/2" deep. This usually occurs every 2-3 days. What resources do use for your research? My go-to's are GrowWeedEasy.com and the staff at my local grow shop, but I'm always looking for more!

Oh I'm so sorry with your frustration.... I'm such a book nerd that I spent about a year reading before I had the courage to plant. I did read that with autos, give them as much light as possible so they'll get big, be gentle on giving them nutes, and that they can be very forgiving with abuse of some kinds like light leaks etc. I hope you at least get a couple little buds that'll give you a couple days of smoking happiness. :)
