i started the grow in Miracle Grow moisture control, i have been researching that it’s not good for the plant later on, i planned to repot it when it gets bigger to a 3 gallon and use a fox farms organic soil but should i be changing the medium? if i do should i clean soil off?
I think it’s under watered, leaves a little crisp and droopy, but need confirmation, also, i don’t know if i’ve seen any gender, it’s about 6 weeks in now.
Currently its not showing any sings of sex but it shouldn't be too long now. I would agree with the under watering too, feed it when possible- its usually best to give them water at the beginning of their light cycle.
From pics i can't see the sex but I have bad eyes. Plants look like they have a tab extra nitrogen and leaves look full of water. I don't think you have under watered. Also check your ph and ppm next feeding with a 10-15% runoff. Best of luck with the grow.
Your "ugly" plant looks awesome to me, but with issues. Overwatered, lack of phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen, calcium and magnesium. Probably potassium too. Aaaand light.
You have no idea how good that plant is. But because of its "potential" it's more "difficult". But you'll figure it out.
I reiterate dude.
That is a super plant..holy shit. Do you have more seeds of that?
I mean that auto seriously looks like total shit compared to it. And while both have issues, that "bagseed" is WAY better looking, structurally, flowers...it just needs nutrients, and balanced nutrients. L:ess watering. That things looks amazingly tough to me.
@MarkWatney,
Calcium (not from milk), some epsom salts, milk/yoghurt/cheese, citric acid and some kind of sugars (coz that's easy cheap kinda safe shit).
You can be kinda liberal with the milk (up to 50% to water ratio, but consider yoghurt and cheese is way more concentrated, so maybe only 5-10% if you use yoghurt or cheese), to some degree the calcium (depending on your ph), small amounts of epsom salts (like a teaspoon per liter, max), same with citric acid, sugar (your sugar source can be quite varied, like brown sugar, starches, molasses) about twice that at most. But, you should probably like halve what I say there, at least, because of conditional shock, fluctuations.
I've personally dealt with ridiculously compacted soil (like 50 years of compacted clay with lawn growing on it depleting calcium coz it got mowed, but never fed, so it just depleted).
Check this shit...

The "supplementation" I used was calcitic lime, kelp and molasses pretty much. Super cheap, conditioning that soil cost about 5usd.
The thing about overwatering is it's often tied to overfeeding (because stuff flushes, and imbalances grow) so you think "this plant needs more nutrients", which to some extent, is true, but it's specific, as some nutrients flush easier than others, so the first thing is to kinda stabilize with less watering, slightly less nutrients.
@sir_isO, Appreciate the comments and input! definitely making me look at them a little different, i def overwatered the plant a lot and now i’m thinking the soil has become compact, what do you think i should do about that?
First thing you do is you lower your nutrients (I'm guessing about the nutrients though) and your watering for the "ugly plant", maybe around 25-50%.
Coz if you're actually using 2.6 gallon water a day, for a 1.3 gallon pot, that's nuts.
