They've only been in flower for 3 days but they're looking good. Think I've overnuted a bit as the tips are curling slightly but other than that they look good.

Not sure about the yellowing. I always thought that was normal? I can't look at the shots you uploaded because my cell doesn't handle them well so I'll look when I finish work. They look great though in all honesty.

1. cut the top off the cup so it is not so deep
2. Give a VERY gentle, like 1/5 whatever the product recomends, nitrogen rich fert
3. Check ph of this feeding and the runoff (make sure cup has drainage holes) to make sure it isnt being locked out of N by PH

Looks like it may need nitrogen already, weird but not unheard of for a seedling i dont think.

This hobby is challenging. Must be what its like to be a doctor and have to diagnose illness and treatment. So based on all the doctors recommendations I repotted today and added 2-3 in ofBlack Gold soil to the bottom with the drainage rocks in the bottom. I did not water the new or old soil.

I was a bit surprised by several things

1. the soil around the roots was so dry. some fell off but not alot.I last watered on mon AM and was holding off till Fri because I was afraid of overwatering and the yellow leaves. it looks like overwatering isnt the issue so based on Drs comments it must be in need of neuts after only 2 1/ wks. Does this seem possible or should I hold back the neuts?

2. the roots were not that well developed, wispy and not alot running around the outside of the root/soil ball,

3. The girls popped up on 6/16 so 2 1/2 wks ago. They seem small could this possibly be due to needing neuts?

4. I have fox farm big grow that calls for 1/2 teaspoon/ gal. I mixed 1/8 teaspoon for the next watering. With the soil a bit dry and falling off the ball should I water now or wait until tomorrow or friday.

I looked for a PH meter or strips for the water but WM n HD dont have them. Anyone know where I can get an inexpensive one?

Im feeling like a weed EMT. Hope the patient survives.

Pictures are today after repotting. First 2 are the white widow that is bigger but has more yellowing the second 2 are the 00 kush. much smaller, seems to be a bit delayed.

Thanks for all the great input.

SO
I repotted and added soil Thursday
Fri I gave em a slow watering with 1/8 Fox Farm Big Grow and distilled water and they seemed to perk up. I trimmed the dead leaves and the tips yellowing. Temp is around 78. I ordered a PH meter so i can manage the PH.

This morning checked in on them they grew a inch but the leaves look like they are slightly yellowing again. Ill know better later today. If they continue to yellow what should my next step be? Pictures later today.

Thanks for everyones help. Growing weeds is tougher than I thought it would be.

Thanks Greenhouse

They look stronger now but seem very small for 21 days old from the time they popped first leaves from seeds. Are they too small? Will they catch up? Perhaps they are focusing their efforts on roots to get better established and settling down after re-potting. Ill just be patient and let them develop as they want.
Soil is still nicely moist, not too moist. I was watering them every third day and will extend that to 4th or 5th day based on soil drying and will alternate distilled water and neuts
Attached are three pics of each girl. The first is the White Widow before when they started yellowing 5 days ago. the second is today 4 days after re-potting and watering with 1/8 FF Big Grow for the first time, the third is showing height today. The next 3 are of the 00 Kush.

Thanks to all for helping me nurse them through this. I cant wait to post the pics of their dank nugs.

Hi Buddy. What are your details on the nutes. Looks like a Phosphorous deficiency going on. Color of pics is hard to tell. If you quote on this either quote me or like so I know you are talking about this.

This was taken a week ago. And I checked this morning and it's spread all over my plants. And I have a dead leaf now. I'm not sure if it's a bug issue or nutes. Since guy above is also growing white widow I thought to post here. I'm also new at this. My plants are huge over four feet since may 13. Outdoors. Have blood and bone meal. Worm castings. Since I planted them I have only feed twice. This only happened about 3 weeks ago maybe and it's getting worse. No idea what to do.
