First Grow advice needed throughout grow :)

I wouldn't have done that. I also wouldn't use that fertilizer. But its all up to you.

Curious to see how this goes for you.

You do know that once the leaves yellow the don't turn green again right?

Look, I understand that you really care about what you get out of this, and you may think just give more more more..... sometimes less is more. In your updated pic with the spray all over it i can tell your plant is not transpiring water, looks overwatered. Overwatering is probably the most common mistake that is made.

I would personally blow off all that spray that is on it and get some healthy air flow around it, keeping it away from the light until the leaves are standing up on their own again and all of the water sploches are gone.... but tha'ts just me.

Edit- oh I hope you didn't fry your plant.....

I guess I'll just see how she goes I know she looks over watered but I didn't think that this was the case. I'll just leave her be now n see what happens. I just done a pH test of my water and it's 6.6-6.7pH and did a soil pH test that looks to be around 5.1/2-6.0 pH. Ok guess I won't use that miracle grow again. I just don't know what's wrong with her but what's the bet your right n it's nothing but a little overwatered. Ok so I've upped my airflow for her today to try and dry her out a bit. I guess it's just a waiting game from here on.
Thank you so much mikeykrinshaw12 I really appreciate it and am following your advice! Much appreciated!

Great, thank you! Will be sure to have a read through, and hopefully pick up a couple tips or two!
Sorry last question of the day , would you recommend trimming off the yellow leaves or leaves that are 80% yellow? My true leaves are pretty much fully yellow not sure if I cut them off and maybe the plant will use energy elsewhere?
Thanks once again Mikeykrinshaw12!!!

just leave them, the plant will draw energy, moisture, and nutritional supplement from/through them, and they still transpire water. I leave mine for quite some time- until they serve their purpose.

It's easier for larger plants to deal with the loss of a leaf or few- I noticed more of the plants that i leave yellowing young leaves on tend to be female. Could be coincidence and it certainly isn't a guarantee
90% of the success of your grow will depend entirely on what you Dont do. less can be much more.

Your advice is very helpful! I can't stress that enough ! And your plants wow!!! One day I hope I can grow some like that ! Keep it up!

UPDATE:

Ok so I transplanted her into a bigger pot this afternoon, her root system looked quite strong and not sure if she was root bound or close to.. But I'm hoping maybe this was causing her to look the way she does, and slow growth.

Hope this helps her!

little early but looks good, hold off on watering for a while.... usually for a week or so after transplant for me, or if its really drying out quickly just water a bit around the edges.... about 1/2 normal watering amount. then a few days later your plant should have lots of fresh new growth and kind of a regular watering/feeding schedule from there. but, if you can hold off a week or so, do it, it will allow the roots to go in search of water and nutrition in a lot of different directions rather than from one spot... any more and you would be overwatering- which is really the only symptom I am seeing at this point. I wait till mine are pretty close to dry, and their roots are filling the soil quite a bit more- or in other words I would have waited another two weeks to transplant but oh well you did it and things are looking pretty good.... just dont overwater.

Are you sure its a she?

Well I purchased a female seed royal queen(quick one) and I'm already starting to see white pistils :/. Seems a bit early but yeah. Thanks a lot for the advice I'll definitely hold off on the water!! Thanks a lot for the feedback!! Hope your plants are continuing to strive!!

well that's good, would be sad to see your only plant left be male. Things are going well... should have a round of updates between today and the weekend .

Haha yeah that would suck!! I will keep you updated and hopefully we see some improvement!!! Thankyou so much! I have confidence you will help me get her looking great again !

Hey guys, just need some advice on this plant. It looks to me that she has gone in to flowering, I currently have her under my T5 CFL cool white.

Should I put her under my 2700k warm yellow CFL now?

Here's some photos of her, not sure if you can see the white pistils but they are there. Sorry about quality of photos.


Please leave me some advice and feedback! Thank you very much!!

she is fine- just let her pot dry out nice and good before watering again.

Blue white is what you would want for sickly plants- its my favorite.

Ok thankyou very much once again Mikeykrinshaw12!!

Once I start to see an actual flower than change lights over :/?

Royal queen - Quick one
Auto flowering
Feminised
I live in Australia so I'd say rec state.

aha... ok. California, just off the coast here.

She will flower on her own, you wont need to do anything at all to make it happen. the transplant probably put her flowering off by a few days at least. Do you plan to grow more, or just the one?

Ohh nice one day I'm going to Cali haha !

Are the white pistils signs of flowering? And I'm just thinking if it is in early days of flowering should I put the 2700k orange/reddish sprectrum cfl on her. Oh yeah I plan to grow more it's just I go away in about 2 week for 5 weeks. So when I get back I will improve my setup and get a few more strains going! Looking forward to it !
