Don't scrap them! If you really need the room get rid of the worst one. Or. give them to me and I'll raise them... lol. They are looking good. kind of short though.

haha no worries man. im keeping all of them for now. Ill probably start two ice seeds when i flower these 4 and grow the ice on 12/12 from seed... im expecting at least two of the four ive got going now to be males.

as for the height issue, i think raising the lights up should fix that. a few of them are noticeably taller just from last night. given that theyre on their fourth leaf set, i think ill stretch them out a few inches (hopefully only a couple days) then flower them. they sprouted on the 17th, so theyre 13 days old... 17 days in veg?

i was watching the super bowl but then i realized i dont care at all... so time for something interesting :weed:

theyre all doing pretty good. the yellowing on lower leaves has stopped and is starting to turn green again. theyre also growing a little more vertically too (prob a result of raising the lights and starting nutes)... 4 inches now and on their 5th leaf set.

ive got those two ice seeds germinating right now... im borrowing an aerogarden from a buddy to start em off. ill probably move them in with others when i kill off a male or two. ive also got another purp seed coming in a few days. this one was found in the shake of some weight of the best purp ive ever seen. more on that later...

So this is my first post on this website cuz i am a mad newbie at all this shit, but ive been reading...your plants are the closest looking to my plant as for as the leaf structure, except mine has a longer stem because I didnt use sufficient lighting in the beginning...i am using one 30w cfl right now on just one plant...i was just curious as to how long you have been growing these 4 plants?

Make sure you dont overwater them, the yellowing earlier on could have been from that, cannabis always likes a sort of dry soil, they dont like being soaked all the time.

DAY 19

alright... ive got a couple problems here. i think i know whats wrong, but i can definitely use a second opinion. i was worried i had been overwatering, so i havent watered them in a day or so. Every plant has had yellowing on the lowest leaves, but theyve all yellowed differently. The second plant has yellowing with what looks like orange burns. but the last plant's lowest leaves turned yellowish and dry... no crispyness. theyre a little droopy (especially the third plant) as a result. I gave them some 10-15-10 about a week ago and theyre in MG soil, so i think i gave them too much nitrogen

Pic 1-3 - newest growth "claw"ing (over N), yellowing on lowest leaves (yellow with brown patches) , yellowish patches on new growth (heat burn... iwhen i noticed it i raised the lights and it hasnt gotten worse)

Pic 4&5 - all fan leaves fold inward (no idea why), yellowing on lowest leaves (yellow with burns... crispy leaves)

Pic 6 - droopy leaves from lack of water but other than that shes great. she had the yellowing problem earlier, but i trimmed that leaf and no problems since

Pic 7&8 - newest growth is clawing (over N), yellowing on lowest leaves (most of the lowest leaf turned yellow-green... not really crispy)

I know thats a lot and i apologize. But any help you can lend would be much appreciated. the 2 ice seeds have germinated and will soon be in soil. Im planting them in organic soil this time... I bet the MG soil has something to do with the aforementioned problems.

as soon as these problems get fixed theyre going into flower
