Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

Bud leaves turned black
Top leaves turned brown overnight, That day I did come home to a disturbing temp off 31oC . It’s the black Mini leaves in buds that are worrying me more. lights came on accidentally for two hours so gave her 16hrs dark and back to 12/12 This may have contributed.

Heat stress and can it be saved? Had to go away for a couple days. Hottest days of the summer mid 90's, full sun, but well watered. This is my first ever grow (auto & outdoor) and I expected about 1 week left until harvest. Thanks

Organic peat control
I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

Dark tips
it seems to me that the tips of the leaves have a very dark color, it looks like an excess of nitrogen but in three weeks I have never fertilized and the only additions to my biobizz light mix are a sprinkling of guano kalong and 10% of worm humus biobizz.

Cold or hot extraction for antioxidants?
What preserves anthocyanins in our cannabis leaves better? If we want the antioxidant properties so we can use them for our benefit, which is better? Cold gentle extraction or use of heat? A traditional african practice centuries old makes tea from leaves to treat certain illness
