Hey guys! First grow! All has gone well with this bag seed up until now, day 7. Droopy leaves and purple patches under both first true leaves. Could be genetics? Not sure! I watered pretty heavily yesterday on accident with a damn watering can (too much came out upon pouring) also it appears the branches seem to maybe be getting purple? Potassium or phosphorus deficiency?

So today is day 19 for bag seed and day 13 for Kepler kush. Both plants are showing same signs. Droopy leaves, red stems, SUPER DRY TO THE TOUCH leaves like paper thin constantly so I’ve over watered them due to thinking they were thirsty. Started noticing stupid fungus gnats. I don’t know what’s going on and I’m super stressed. Please help lol

Can someone help diagnose my plants? I can’t seem to find anything online. Stems turn red over time, leaves are super dry and droopy even though the soil is wet. I have burnt tips on two of my side branches but that’s it. Not sure what’s going on, first grow! Please send help
Solved

Looks like you are overstressing here mate, took a look into ur diary, don't see no burnt tips, the red could be genetic/too close light/low phosphorous. Considere these 3. You seem to be overwatering, try getting a wood stick and place it in the pot, whenever you think its watering time, lift the stick, check if there is humidity inside the soil and then if theres none or too little you water. Me personally i use the leaves method, you water, leaves go down, leaves go up and stay up untill they start going down due to thirst, ur gonna want to water them as soon as they start going down.(beware as sometimes near the end of the light cycles some strains tend to get droopy leaves in preparation for the dark period, sometimes its just a phase, other times they do that for a long time. Your soil seems like it could be very light, by this point the plant would start requesting for nutes if its the case, as it seems, so giving it a tiny portion of grow nutes could let you know if that's what she wants or not. Check ur ph if u can 6.5 will be optimal. Note: let ur soil cycle from dry to wet to dry and etc... my pots tend to get 95% dry before they are watered again as while there is humidity the roots are searching for that water and will chase it to the furthest regions of the pot if those are the only wet places, just dont let her get so thirst that she dies but better underwatered than overwatered. Good luck mate. Anything just shoot me a DM or if dms still not working drop a comment on my profile.

Week 3 in the bag! Noticed signs of trouble this week. Yellow tips and holes in some leafs along with leaf mutations. Not 100% sure why but I’m guessing it’s due to the fact that I added in extra potassium to my water and it caused a toxicity. I’m growing in roots organic original potting soil. Great soil but this is the 3rd bag I’ve bought off of Amazon that’s infested with fungus gnats. And I know this to be true because after I throw away every bag they swarm my dumpster the next day. I am a noob and definitely have over watered my plants a few times so it may be a mixture of both. At 21 days I topped dressed with 4 Tbs of all purpose 444 and 2 Tbs of 3-9-4 bloom with dechlorinated tap water PH’d to 6.3 and I added some RAW cal-mag. Plants seem to be thriving after feeding and most recent watering as I’ve been letting them dry all the way out trying to eliminate these stupid fungus gnats. Also not sure why, but every time I add a week it deletes the previous weeks pictures and adds them to the next week so I’m sorry about that!

Did an emergency flip to flower last week after receiving legit genetics from ILGM cause I wanted to get them started ASAP! So today is day 7 of flower, pistils are starting to barely show and bud formations appear to be forming. I watered with nematodes this morning and have since noticed a white residue along with a patch of discolored soil. Looks like mold and I’m kind of nervous!

Day 13 of flower today! Got off by a day somewhere along this journey eh, oh well lol. Anyway things are going hella smooth I’m just maintaining a stable environment, learning and observing a shit ton, and watering when dry which seems to be so much within these last few days.. Like this plant doubled what it drinks daily and is stretching a lot a lot and I was not expecting that! Anyway no serious problems. Upon close inspection some of the pistils are turning brown and it’s only week 2 so that’s worrisome but I think I’ve been overly paranoid this whole grow and now I’m just gonna sit back and let it ride out. Any advice or pointers would be great!

Day 20 of flower and week two is in the books! One thing I’ve noticed is some pistils are turning orange but some of their tips are turning brown?! Anyway she’s drinking like a fish and stretching like crazy! I’m only working with 150w so I decided to try a big defoliation to expose those lower sites! Also due to flipping to flower the same day I top dressed with a veg feeding regiment I am experiencing N toxicity! Wasn’t able to tell fully until I defoliated and brought the leaves into normal lighting. Have been adding RAW NPK phosphorus, cal mag, and potassium to my water to try and help balance the excess N until next feeding, hey it’s all about the journey right?
