Could be just a strain trait or a lot of N. They look bad ass though, they look super defined..

Yeah N would be dark green new growth and burning of the tips in serious cases of too much N/veg nutes. They look cool your feeding them already yeah
It's been feeding on FF Ocean forest soil for a month+. Just gave it its first dose of Mother Plant A+B a couple of days ago.

Perfect I use ffof that's about right a month out start giving them additional food .......the only issue me and lots of people I know are having with ffof this year is some def during the flower phase so if you get time look into ffof it's happening to lots of people Since your early on still you can start supplementing with some cal mag or the likes to avoid the problem of def in the ffof Start your feeding at low doses to and she will get some more color she's just hungry and it's time to start feeding anyway your doing everything good IMO As long as your letting the soil dry out good between waterings and like I said look into the def problem in ffof your all set good job

Might want to trim a few of those sad looking leaves off the bottom. Looks healthy otherwise.

Actually N would make them more green. Your right. I have seen too much N give the leaf the same super defined look but now I'm thinking about it they were much more green

Yeah usually il see dark green with N tox ........or the obvious light green tips /yellow That's why I asked him if he had started feeding cause it looks good but hungry IMO I just hope he is able to supp that ffof in time that company has failed miserably IMO this year with that particular soil I was reading they are using new materials and quality control is lacking in mixing batches And if I'm not mistaken they opened up a new or larger facility ......either way my outdoor plants I used new ffof this year in got mag def Thankfully I was running multiple soils including home made batches so I wasn't affected as bad as my buddies who planted a whole crop in the stuff I think I'm done with ffof Lol.
Thanks...
This will be a mother plant for as long as I can keep her (assuming it will be a her, fingers crossed) and then I'll be growing my clones in coco.
I go the natural way
Let the plant release any problematic or dead leaves itself
If you can't pull it off gently than it ain't ready to go from the main plant

I believe that I have also heard the same exact thing from dude down at the Hydro store. He was also saying people are bitching about it being too "HOT" off and on. I've heard that here also. The last three grows that I've completed were with FFOF. First Grow was infested with pincher bugs and the last two had a huge outbreak of gnats. I called Fox Farm to complain and was given an email address to email Chad I think it was. After lightly arguing (through e mail) for about ,30 minutes I finally got him to kind of hint at some QC issues the company may or may not be having...I don't want to use them again. Couch, what product have you been considering? What about sunshine stuff?

Honestly bro I've been very happy with ffof lately .......but I've also been mixing up my own soil trying to dial it in and I've finally got it dialed in real good the last few seasons So I'm guna mix my own from here on out I've never used sunshine But I've also never heard anything bad about it ........I'm just done paying for soil when I have ranches and farms with everything I need to make my own pennies on the dollar basically.....I just gotta get off my lazy ass and make enough for all my gardens .........just look into whatever you decide to go with I always liked ffof because it had ample food for the beginning of the plants life which makes it easy when planting multiple plants in different gardens .........but like you I don't trust ffof no more unless you ammend it but what's the point of paying for soil with food if you gotta mess with it immediately anyways.

looks like heat stress to me , hence the curling of the edge of the leaves.... and canoeing

How long does it take for your soil to dry?(how often do you water) do you have a fan swaying across your plants?

Thats heat, the plant needs to transpire thus its having a hard time due to heat, ventilation and low moisture, im not sure if you have ever seen water on some leafs when ur lights turn back on but if u do theres a sure sighn that its heat.

lol i dont even see any signs of deficiencys other then heat lol i dont know wtf any of those other people are seeing talking about n toxicity and soil lol....they look pretty good other then that to me lol .
Heat is what it looked like to me too based on picture comparison. Must be a sensitive plant because I've never seen the temp above 83F and usually is around 78 or less. Humidity stays at 50%. Ventilation should probably be improved upon.
No water on leaves at lights on, because I've been running 24hr light. Maybe I should go to 18.Thats heat, the plant needs to transpire thus its having a hard time due to heat, ventilation and low moisture, im not sure if you have ever seen water on some leafs when ur lights turn back on but if u do theres a sure sighn that its heat.
