I personally leave them in the dark for a day after they break ground. But it's safe to run the light at the schedule of your choosing. 🤘😤

Can you get two plants from one seed?
What is this little surprise? Do I have another viable plant or is this just a cotyledon? Also, when transplanting, do I bury the existing cotyledon on the stalk? Thanks!

What are these tiny white dots from?
Do you think I have spider mites? I don’t think it’s moldy mildew. I have no idea where I could have gotten them from though.

Spotted Leaves
My ladies looked good until recently, it has been very warm the last few days. Then they began to let their leaves hang down (didn't get enough water) and gradually turned yellow, now they are getting spots. This is my first grow and I am not sure what it could be.

Olio di neem
Hi, olio di neem quando si deve usare? Solo quando la pianta e infestata ? E come si usa? Si spruzza sulle foglie direttamente?

Spider mites in flowering
Spidermites detected in flowering. Still no webs forming on buds but there is small damage on leaves. I have neem oil but don't wanna ruin my buds with bad smell and heard neem is toxic to humans. Rosemary essential oil maybe? I will be washing the buds at harvest.

Anyone know what this is the beginning? Looked at the pictures of different deficiencies and excesses but the all seem to look similar off the start
Wonder if anyone can give me a diagnosis on what this is the beginning of? She is coming up on 6 weeks old, haven’t had any issues so far. Happy frog soil, no nutrients yet, strictly PH’d water between 5.9 and 6.1 for each watering.

Rust spots on lower leaves
rust spots on lower leaves on mainly one strain, started at tip of leaf. Happened after res change and had PH swings during that time until it was adjusted/settled. Full EC again. PH swing? Maybe cal(or)mag issue? PH is back at 5.9 now, running bennies. Maybe Slightly droopy? Thx

How dark is too dark?
Are these looking too green? I’m not seeing any N-tox clawing but they are pretty dark, growth is pretty vigorous and steady though so I don’t know. They are in a pretty rich organic medium.

Older/lower leaves yellowing and wilting. Assuming N deficiency? Present from late veg/early flower but not accelerating or slowing down. Also observing small black/brown spots near veins on the same yellow leaves. Assuming P deficiency? Present recently, treated with Mammoth P.

The plants are now placed in rows, not on the windowtill but behind & below. This means that they’re: 1. Growing towards the window once again 2. Have parts of them barely exposed to the sunlight. What do I do? Do I let them grow how they want to? Should I trim away some leaves?

Dry leaves / dying.
Why is the leaves of the one "cola" drying like this? Looks really unhealthy, at first i panicked that it must be mold or something like that i have never tried before. But the bud seems fine. Is it under watering as i forgot to water for almost 72 hours? And if so, why only one.

Before it becomes a real problem
Day 39. I realized that I was blasting plants with too much light as of the last few days. Made the switch to bloom nutes. Any ideas what's going on here. I want to fix this before it becomes a real problem.
