Monday 8th March - DAY 17
Leaves are curling slightly and I still have some yellow tips please can someone advise if this plant is healthy? Or what I can do better?
Tuesday 9th March - DAY 18
She’s looking more healthy today which I’m pleased about I’m just letting her soil dry a little before I up the nutrients. Happy Tuesday! 🍁
Wed 10th March - DAY 19
Soil was looking a little dry this morning so gave her some more water and nutrients (lowered the dose from last time as advised by a few people.)
Thur 11th March - DAY 20
She’s looking ok I think maybe a little on the short side but hopefully she’ll catch up over the next few weeks!!
Fri 12th March - DAY 21
She’s rather small I think for day 21 I’m putting it down to trauma from the light drop? I’m not too sure but i could just be impatient!!
Best of luck with your baby! Watch how much you feed her, she’s still very small and can easily get nutrient burn (possibly why the tips are the way they are) 🌱
She does look a bit beaten up! I dont think its the light drop trauma that delayed her growth though xP But as you can see she is also starting to grow, it will probably catch up. To be safe i would check soil's ph, water and runoff, just to be sure :)
Also if you think you are overwatering it, you are probably right, as you can kill a plant easier with too much water than not enough ^^ I wouldnt say it looks too overwatered though, but a plant that small doesnt drink much, so just let top 2-3 cm of soil get bone dry, reallly stick your finger in the dirt, if it comes too dirty usually the soil has enough water, on the other hand if the soil falls from the finger its dry xPP Thats how i do it, you got to really poke it good around the vase feel the overall wetness xP Closer to the plant be more genlte with the poking thing xP Overwatering would slow the growth of a young plant ;) could explain it!
@OneDropOfTHC, No it wasn’t the light drop it was spider mites! 😡 but I’ve got some neem oil now she’s looking miles better!! Well in my opinion 😂 been doing what you’ve said to do and check the soil a few inches in to check if completely dry before watering again! Stay safe!
Yeah dont worry about it. She is fine, on nature they are used to getting squashed for a few seconds. Aslong as th main stem doesnt brake, you are safe, even if it brakes and you manage to secure the wound close with some tape, it will probably live. Last week i dropped a pot on her head completely removing her from soil and bending her, she didnt even notice xP They are incredibly resilient if healthy,
I dont see a need for defoliation. But im with those people that dont defoliate autos. Post up a grow question see other opinions ^^ What i would do right know to you plant is apply an anchor to the base and bend the top stem down arching your plant and making those side shoots take some sun and start developing alongside with the main stem, all at the same weight. But thats a kind of training, u might just want to let her grow. but right now seems the perfect time to bend the top down without hurting it. If you need any help on how to do this just wisp me, ill draw you a picture.
