Hey guys! I noticed one of my little plants (Mario) looks less healthy than his sister (Maria). It has some white snipes on the leaves Do you think it could be a Nitrogen deficiency? Should I start adding nutrients already? (Haven't started with nutrients yet)

Oh I'm going to disagree with my growmies on this one - autos do not like nutes in their first week or two and do just fine without them! If you're growing in Bio-Bizz Light, they're getting SOME nutes now so I wouldn't add any more - not for another week at least! I think the color is simple genetics and she'll calm down and get on with life normally very soon. I once had a plant that was stubbornly lime green her entire life and it didn't impact the grow or the harvest. I think she'll be just fine! Good luck!

High cannanova, Do not use nutrients for the first 2 weeks! After you can start nutrients but a very small amount. EC value of 1.0 would be more then enough to start with. And then just add + EC 0.1 every week till you reached EC 1.8 (do not give more then EC 1.8) this should be enough till harvest. Make sure to keep you pH 6.2 so measure your water and nutrients solitions before watering otherwise the plants can't use the nutrients that you provide! Happy Growing! 😋

I agree with Nobodysbuds, give them a light feed and follow the direction from the manufacture within a range. If your using liquid nutrients invest in a EC pen.

oh, definiteyl start a fertilization regimen. seed will power the growth for 2 weeks give or take, but a safely fertile substrate ready to provide is a good thing to have before the seed runs out of power... the cotyledons will fade a bit as first sign it needing more. could wait for that and pre-empt it next time (assuming you stick to same products) i'm not familiar with "light mix" is that soilless or amendments come with it? if not soilles, do the typical ramp up.. start slow, increase concentration to full strength over time. if soilless, you want to feed a 650-750ppm well-balanced mix of nutes every irrigation. you may exceed that in a soil grow, but you also probably won't feed every irrigation in that context, so it ends up being the same rate over time that the plant can handle... has to be.

first few sets of leaves often have blemishes that you will not see later as it matures... blotches and othe imperfections. thse should not enlage (beyond the actual leaf gowth occurring) or spread out etc... that'd be a signal that it's more than jus an early blemish. so, keep an eye on it.. should be fine. by the time you see 7 finger leaves, it'll be solid assuming all other things are going well too.
