That's a happy plant! ;-)

But it's not in flower.

That plant is in early veg and it's looking very happy the way things are. How many days old are the plants?

The color is great and the branches are perpendicular to the main stem and the leaves are in their normal orientation. If there was too much light, the leaves would start curling and/or they would rotate around their stem to reduce the amount of leaf that's exposed to light. Every indication is that they're doing quite well.

My understanding was that your plant(s) was early flower. My apologies for misunderstanding the situation.

One thing that you might see is that the branches start to incline rather than stay perpendicular. That's called "praying" and that's taken to be a sign of plants that are getting good amount//high level of light.

My plant is showing sign of something since lights been off what is it? The other plant seems to have taken it better I also did water last night could it be that? The sticky residue is on another leave to on the other plant is that anything to worryb about?

In the first and last photos, it looks like there's something going on with the leaves. The photos aren't very clear. I'd shoot them again and post photos of the entire plant. That would make it easier to diagnose.

Also, info about the grow environment. Soil, nutrients, when you water and how much you water, temperature, humidity, etc. That all helps in figuring out what might be going on.

I'm a hydro grower so my knowledge about soil is really limited.

Okay the soil is mother earth performance soil in it is peat moss, aged forest products, perlite, pumice, worm castings, guanos, and meals
Nutes I use it advanced nutrients grow,micro,bloom,bigbud,voodoo juice,overdrive haven't used big bud or overdrive yet. I'm thinking what is appearing is from me overwatering and it's showing it
Temp is around 70-72 and humidity is 45-55
I water every 3-4days I just gave the plant ab 4 cups just upped the amount I prob overwatered but it is what it is20240804_213943.jpg20240804_213957.jpg20240804_214012.jpg

Ambient temp is a bit low but your temperature + RH is pretty good (45's low - 55% at that temp would make it easier on the plant).

I can't help you with the nutes but, just to clarify for other readers, are those white splotches on the leaves or water droplets?

What white spots? I don't think I have dropped and water on it I usually go around the bottom of the base when watering but I don't think it is but might be
And what do you mean by low 45s mid 50? For rh?

Just breathe! Take this opportunity to practice reading the plants. You need a baseline grow and this sounds like it's the one. Save some money for more seeds to practice with and run your lights as soft as possible. A lux meter is a great investment to check for even coverage and ballpark* par. Have you started a journal? If not do so both on paper and here if you have the means. Read, watch and listen, this place is a gold mine of knowledge. Your plants are going to do strange things throughout its entire life. Take good notes! Experiment! Just keep it alive. Good luck!

The plant has sense started to get worse I've lowered the light to 75%20240804_232153.jpg

Quick Guide – Lux Levels for Optimal Cannabis Growth

Life StageMaximumGoodMinimumVegetative70,000 lux40,000 lux15,000 luxFlowering85,000 lux60,000 lux35,000 lux

< 15,000 lux – sparse or “stretchy” growth – plant isn’t getting enough light
15,000 – 50,000 lux – a good amount of light for healthy vegetative growth
45,000 – 70,000 lux – the optimal amount of light for cannabis plants in the flowering (budding) stage. If grow lights produce a lot of UV light (such as LEC), stay on the lower side of this range
70,000 – 85,000 lux – a lot of light, some strains thrive at this light level, but some plants (especially auto-flowering and Indica strains) lose their top leaves early under this light intensity. At these levels, lights need to be kept further away for healthy growth
> 85,000 lux – at this light intensity, you’ve hit the plant’s “saturation point” which means your plant can’t use all the light (most strains will experience light bleaching or other major signs of stress at this level!)

The growth on the top of those plants is standard growth for a plant in veg. Those are not pre flowers or pistils.

This hit me the other day after I'd spent hours guiding you through light levels for a plant in flower stage. That information won't go to waste but it has nothing to do with the plants in the pictures.

Unfortunately, I assumed a lot when I started responding to you and I should have asked for the standard stuff - that's the strain, indica vs sativa, soil mix, temp, RH, age of the plants, etc. That information is vital to being able to provide useful advice. The lighting info I provided will come into play in a month or so. For now, I think you're in decent shape, lighting wise.

The issue that you're running into could be a nutrient imbalance and that has a small number of potential causes. Once you provide the addition info that I've outlined, people will be able to help. It's much easier to have that info up front than to play "20 questions".

Definitely have been playing 20 question but
They popped 6/30 there autos temp says between 72 and 73 rh is between 45 and 55 there 37 days in I js thought preflower bc I searched it up and it's basically what it told me it's and indica
Google also told me this is a sign of preflowering
I'd you zoom in you will see white stigmas/pistils idk which one or if there the same

Hello I'm a new grower and I just wondering ab light % what percent during each stage and height

Here we go again with taking some easy science into a debate. Marijuana is just a plant like any other living plant organism. If you were in Afghanistan and seen a large field of trees in the wide open , bright as fuk, sunlight, warm, humid sometimes heat, and the plant is bigger than you and me sitting on shoulders , ask that question again please?
All I'm saying is just done getting so in your head about what it needs to prosper. The brighter the better of course, but not to the point you sacrifice your pocket to the power company! I use Viparspectra 1500 350 watts x2 and I believe it's still too much light. My tent is a 4x4. I've fit six buckets in it comfortably. The most dry weight I've harvested from this set up has been almost two pounds in 90 days running three week veg , then 12/12 until finished from seed. Perfect setup and I have plenty of variety to medi .
