This is my first grow. I germinated 3 seeds and luckily all of them popped and became seedlings. I’ve went through some troubles but after a lotta fuck ups I think I will still get to harvest from them and they are still female. The 3 bigger ones were all planted at the same time. I think one of them has a potassium deficiency. I think the smaller one Im gonna just throw out so I can use the pot for the seedling later

I’ve also noticed the plants are very malleable. Is that bad? I also have a question. I have a seedling that I started because I thought these plants were gonna die. I want to veg these for the veg cycle of the seedling also and just flower them all at the same time. Is there a such thing as too much veg?

Looks good, maybe start a grow journal? What's your setup like? I missed your first post.

You mean the white tips, hard to tell from pictures but it does look like a deficiency of some kind.

Yep, plants in veg are very malleable, train them now if you want so they are not super dense in flower.

When your plants get too big for your space..

Assuming you only have one grow area, what I've done in the past is either move the flowering plant into a dark area between 12h and 16h (when veg lights go off) or, take your veg plant out of the flower area and put it under a cfl or something for a few hours after lights out. That way one plant can flower earlier while other continue to veg for longer.

You can also top your bigger plants to make them more bushy and let the seedling catch up in height.

It also has browning in the middle of leaves of both of them. I fed them for the first time two days ago. Fox farms. Big bloom and grow big. We will see what happens.

Those Browning spots are probably a calmag defecancy 1ml per L of calmag should fix that

No offence but your grow room looks like it has dirt all over the floor and shit. You should keep that room clean man, treat it like a lab. Less problems down the road. A messy grow area will only invite unwanted guests and pathogens if left to linger. Just saying. My tent is the cleanest room and area in the house sadly lol

My thoughts exactly. In fact that's the 1st thing I noticed in the pictures. The next thing i notice was the clear water bottles. Drive to Walmart with $10 in your pocket and go pick up the proper containers. Light easily penetrates through that clear container and light kills roots. But definitely clean your grow Room, A poorly maintained grow Room can lead to all sorts of issues. Bugs, mold Cross contaminate diseases from one plant to another from grow cycle to grow cycle. Plus it just looks very.........rookie

Lol there’s soil on the floor they’re plants so. They should be growing outside in much dirtier conditions. Cleaning that dirt up would be a trivial waste of time. I do make sure it doesn’t get and stay wet. I have a bowl of water in there also to raise humidity. Because it’s just so low.

Also the way light works wouldn’t the black soil absorb the light? Why would I go buy something like that when a plastic bottle is good enough and good for the environment?
