Day 16: Into the 3rd week and they've really grown in terms of spread - they're nearly as wide as they are tall which I guess is a good thing? Definitely got over the transplant shock, which probably lasted 2-3 days. I've started feeding them all with half the minimum recommended dosage to start with. I was torn between using either grow or fish-mix but after reading a tonne of forums decided to opt with the stronger fish mix. The humidity is a bit lower than I'd want but I'm going to start spraying the walls to help. All in all going well I think

Hello. Please hold your hand over your little seedling for a minute. You want a warm feeling without a burning feeling. If the back of your hand feels like it is getting sun burnt it will do the same to the plant. That is the right distance. Good Luck. Chuck.

Is there anything I can do to help with the recovery and yield of my auto after snapping the main stem during LST? I didn't tape it in time so that's not an option

It's hard to tell from your pictures, but did the stem actually break? If its just bent a little bit, I think it should bounce back. If it's actually broken, you could try treating it like a cutting. Lot's of different points of view on that, but MIGHT work. I had a few plants "top" themselves after week 2-3, the top leaf set just died. Two new ones came back and now they're my biggest ones. Don't give up!

What is causing yellowing of the top fan leaves? Started to happen to a plant that I broke by accident during LST. However around the same time I upped to 2ml/l and moved the light a little closer. My ph has also been high (fine now). No idea which one could be the culprit

Hey Growmie, If you moved the light closer this is the culprit. Back it off a bit and this will help. also, keep a look out for burned tips this will be the indication that the plant was feed too much. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

hi, just a bit of nitrogen in excess, but nothing to worry about. plant its storing it on the bottom leaves "just in case". the claw its slight so i would leave all like this, but if you want to fix it just give them less nutrients. cheers

Why are the fan leaves dark, curled downwards and showing brown marks originating from the edges? Had an issue of dark and curled leaves for a week or 2, did think it was getting better (N2 deficiency) but now suddenly after not watering for a day the leaves are going brown.

Hey mate shame to see its happening during flowering. Hopefully she gets through it alright! - what were your temps the past days? Low temps could trigger a molybdenum deficiency (solved by keeping temps >21c, around 24-27c during lights on) - you mention you watered the day before, root problems and overwatering can show near to random symptoms making them hard to pin point. Do you check the soil is dry before watering (e.g. by lifting the pot and guestimate with the weight)? - Does you soil drain well enough/ is it airy enough? If you soil is all compact and has a hard time letting oxygen through then the roots have a hard time and watering becomes less tolerant to mistakes and you can easily get salt buildups causing lockouts. --> If you soil is compact and you think this is the problem check if there are guides to make it more airy (no idea if poking it with chopsticks would help... I grow hydro since many years now). Otherwise its most likely a lockout so if you can't figure out what is wrong usually the approach is to flush them to kindof 'reset' the soil, and when they need water again then give with nutrients. Don't take my advice as the truth, as I mentioned I don't grow in soil since a while. Good luck to you and I hope they pull through!

EC high (0.2ms/cm in, 0.6ms/cm out), pH runoff a little high (6.71 in, 7.18 out). Yellowing of leaves moving up plant, followed by yellowing between the veins on new growth. Help please!! Had issues with this one for a while so last fed 2 days ago with 1ml/l of Biobizz

Hey Buffy, it looks like you are having a host of deficiencies right now. I'm not used to reading the EC measurements in the way you formatted it. Would that be 200 and 600? Anyway If I were you I'd flush the hell out of the plant until run off ph matches the proper range. Then do a feed. This will flush out all nutrients in the soil as well as excess salts. Once you have the ph where you want it give it a regular feed with proper ec/ph. The idea is that you are flushing out the problems and resetting the plant. When you feed the plant after the flush make sure the run off matches your ec/ph goals. Sometimes resetting the slate is the best way to get the plant back on track. Keep in mind this is not always the best thing to do especially later in flower, but looking at your pics its what I would do.

Too elaborate further. Your plant is experiencing high amounts of salts at the top or base layer.. This slows intake as the plant does not want excess nutrients.. The buds are small and it's having a hard time growing not because the plant doesn't want to grow.. But because the top layer of soil has high amounts of salt throwing of the process of osmosis your plants usually have no problem with and slowing the plants growth down. balance is key.

@DrBuffy, Soil is a tricky monster.. Soil conditions are different given the different types. Some soils are Alkaline some are Acidic.. Some are very rich in micro nutrients. Some are poor. Your standard over the counter potting soil should have plenty of nutrients for your Cannabis. Instead of trying to take hold and change everything by what you are doing.. Lean towards the idea that maybe what you are adding is actually what is causing it. Plants tend to grow very well in potting soil.. And they tend to require nutrients when they outgrow there container or get large enough to intake all the available nutrients in the soil. Do you understand what I mean?... Think of your plant at a few weeks old.. Think about how soil there is vs. Root matter. The plants speak a language to us. We just have to learn to listen.. Lots of old ladies grow plenty of stuff in soil with just water and sunlight.. Again think about it :). Try adding or using just water for a few weeks.. Maybe use like 0.25 of bloom to be safe... But that's it don't use buffers or anything else. If you buffer down soil that is already on the acidic side.. This is worse for the plant then given plan old 7 ph water. If your soil is Peat Moss based like most soils then chances are it's on the acidic side of the scale already so need to "buffer" down. And maybe not weeks.. Try it for a few days.. like even a week see what happens.. See if she get hers balance back.

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, thanks for your answer to my question. A little torn right now in what to do - my grow diary is a little deceiving because I've got 3 plants and this one with the problems is 2 weeks behind, so in the 3rd week of flower. I've hardly been feeding it as I thought I had an N2 overdose that I figured was down to overwatering and some wind burn(brown marks) So since then (probably 1.5 weeks ago) I've been feeding it a very low (0.5ml) dose and it wasnt until 2 days ago I started back up at 1ml. Do you still think this is too much? The yellowing is getting worse by the day and honestly I don't think they'll survive another week if I don't do something
