I added a little fan to simulate wind for the plant's steadiness. I also noticed Fungus gnats, so i covered the top of my pots with perlite and ordered nematodes (steinerma feltiae).

I ordered nematodes (SF) today, and i read something in an article about how they can't handle nitrogen. Should i worry about their effectiveness(if there is any at all) as i want to start feeding around the same time as using the nematodes?

I am not sure if I would be adding nematodes, they need quite warm, humid and very damp conditions and feed mostly on humus. They are actually parasites and I would be hesitant of anything parasitic to the soil of my babies. Seeing the conditions they need to do their best work is basically a tropical compost heap, I doubt they would benefit your indoor grow greatly. Never the less, it could be an interesting experiment and until you try, there is no way of knowing the results. Results may be hard to quantify though, unless you grew 2 plants of the same strain (preferably clones) side by side and had nematodes in only one pot, but everything else was identical. I think that if any great benefit were to be had by adding nematodes, the cannabis community would be well aware of the fact already. If adding nematodes, I would suggest giving them a week or so to become established before adding any fertilizers. They are no doubt fairly fragile creatures and strong fertilizers would probably not be their best friend, since they live in a fairly nutrient poor environment in nature. Hope this helps,....... Organoman.

The nematodes worked great against the fungus gnats and i almost completely got rid of them. Starting to feed her this week. Also started with low stress training this week.

I noticed some white powder on the leaves of my plant. At first i thought it might have been from the perlite, but it came back. So i suspect it’s powdery mildew. I took to google and it recommended me to use a milk/water solution. Will this work?

Using milk on your compost and in your garden will probably come as a surprise to most. Upon closer inspection, however, it starts to make sense. The amino acids, proteins, enzymes and natural sugars that make milk a food for humans and animals are the same ingredients in nurturing healthy communities of microbes, fungi and beneficial bacteria in your compost and garden soil. Raw milk is the best, as it hasn’t been exposed to heat that alters the components in milk that provide a perfect food for the soil and plants, but any milk will provide nutrition and benefits. Using milk on crops and soils is another ancient technique that has been lost to large scale modern industrial agriculture. Milk is a research-proven fungicide and soft bodied insecticide - insects have no pancreas to digest the milk sugars. Dr. Wagner Bettiol, a Brazilian research scientist, found that milk was effective in the treatment of powdery mildew on zucchini. His research was subsequently replicated by New Zealand melon growers who tested it against the leading commercially available chemical fungicide and found that milk out-performed everything else. To their surprise, they also found that the milk worked as a foliar fertilizer, producing larger and tastier melons than the control group. Recently David Wetzel, a Nebraska farmer completed a 10 year study on applying milk at different rates to his pastures, and recorded the results with the help of the local Agricultural Extension agent Terry Gompert , a university soil specialist, a weed specialist and an insect researcher. What they found was amazing- the grass production was drastically increased; the soil porosity or ability to absorb air and water doubled; microbe activity and populations increased; cows were healthier and produced more milk on treated pastures; the brix or sugar level in the pasture tripled, indicating more nutrients were stored in the grass than before. Grasshoppers abandoned the treated pastures- the sugars are a poison to soft bodied insects as they do not have a pancreas to process the sugars. This also explains why insects will leave healthy, high brix level plants alone, as they contain more sugars than the stressed and sickly ones. Milk Works As Fertilizer.

It seems one of my leaves has become very oddly curled up. It has very slight brown spots with a strangely curled up tip. As seen on Week3-day19. Can anyone identify some sort of problem like excess or deficiency of nutrients?

Looks pretty healthy to me. Wouldn’t take any drastic steps at this point.

I noticed the first pistils on the main cola of the plant. I Fimmed right before first signs of flowering which is a bit sad, but i'm sure she'll be fine. I also started feeding her with BioBizz Bio-bloom.

I'm not sure whether i'm having a nutrient deficiency problem, am under-watering or having a pest. As you can see some leaves dried up and turned yellow and i'm also noticing a little bit of interveinal chlorosis.

This is normal, the leaves are dying off because of lack of light, as the plant grows taller the part of the plant doesn't get much light and some fan leaves will die off.
