thanks lol, found the pic on some famous social network

I knew the seeds were different strains as I don't group them by type, rather I group them by how good the bag was...

but being a noob I figured they all basically needed the same amount of nutes, I know better now

its funny, not sure if this is coincidence but the plants have grown almost as much overnight as they have in the last 3 days... right after adding some plant food lol

Also I removed the stakes holding the plant down (for lst) because it just seems the stalks are way too big (it was pulling the stakes out) and I figure I'll just grow them like I always do.

Yeah I know most people just look at the first page and think thats all there is in the thread....but imo the best stuff is further in. I tried to put those links on the first post but I couldn't edit it. Sounds like you are discovering the difference in phenotypes....you can have 10 seeds from same plant and they won't all grow the same way. When I first started I thought a seed was a seed, but have since learned other wise. By the way....I think your avatar is my favorite on the whole site!!...yours and somebody that has a kitten doing the same.

most of the time leaves that have yellowed will fall off the plant... you can remove them if you like but I like to let nature remove them for me.

Yellowed leaves tend to only hang onto the plant with a string and a prayer anyway.

Moving won't do anything, they will still find them. You need to get some sprays to wipe out the bugs. There are home formulas if you don't want to use chemicals...but as long as its OMRI listed I feel comfortable using it.

Dude, a good home remedy is garlic-pepper tea. Just get a gallon container (an old milk jug will do), wash it out real well, grind up a jalpeneo and a couple cloves of garlic, place the ground up mix in a coffee filter and tie it off with enough string so it can be lowered to the bottom of the jug. Fill with water and set in the sun for a couple days. Pour the liquid in a sprayer bottle, discard the filter packet with the mix in it, and save the remainder of the liquid. Spray the plants (be sure to get the underside of the leaves), then respray in a week. It smells like garlic for a week, but if you do it, you won't have bugs and it won't hurt the plant (it actually gives some acidity-like foliar feeding). Good luck.

Fresh and piney sounds good to me! Even though this doesn't count as a plant deficiency I'll try and point you in the right direction. Do some research on increasing terpene production...terpenes are essential oils that give the aroma. For starters, using a sweetener like sugar daddy or sweet leaf, will help increase them

So if the leaves are curling up does that plant need copper or does it have too much... I have two different breeds of plants and only the citral has leaves that are turning up at the edges. The Jock horror seems to be fine

Any suggestions? They are 3 weeks from Day i started Germination. Thanks!

Is this Nute Burn? I am not using addatives yet. Just Miracle Grow Soil.

But after the fact i bought the good soil Peatmoss,Perlite,Dololite LIme, Worm Castings.

What do i do. I dont want to shock them by transplanting them, or is it Lacking Nutes?? Thanks

I think MG has plenty of stuff in it that last for a while...I've never used it so I don't know much about it. Pic 2 looks like bug damage...I can't remember what its called, but its a tiny bug inside the leaf and it eats its way around. It leaves trails like the ones on yours..especially near the top right of that leaf...I see squigle marks. It might be called a leaf miner. However, I thought that leaf miners left bigger tracks. Try a search for leaf miners and see if it matches. Sorry I couldn't help more...but over alll they don't look bad.

Any advice on what do with my miracle grow. i guess i can just wait it out. Do you think i can start adding nutrients? Like 15-25% reccommended dosage? Also I have 1 brand new seedling not even a week old all in organic with wormcastings peatmoss, ect. And its looking pretty damn green i will post pics of just that one in a couple days certainatley looks like a brighter green using that all organic. No signs of burns or bugs yet either.
