Once again, those are not leaves, they ae not meant to stay healthy and green.



Your leaves are quite clearly a healthy green in this picture. And no, do not add any nutes to the plant, not 1/4 does not 1/2 does, they have no need for it whatsoever at that stage in their life.

Some people, just simply want to over complicate nature's natural process and would rather listen to advice as such, rather then advice to simply leave well enough alone

It just concerns me because on my first grow (my last one). This didn't happen and also it's starting to get worse. My leaves are starting to sag and turn very light green.

well I added a small amount of nitrate of soda to the soil and watered a bit. I also foliar fed a bit of nitrate of soda solution. We'll see if they perk up soon.

post 23 didnt look good at all. i hope you measured the runoff at around 6.5-6.7. i think you are watering the plants way too much and i suspect its root rot. your soil looks pretty wet and what kind of soil are you using? are those clay conglomerate around the plants? your dixie cup should have very good drainage. and only water when the soil is dry on the surface. whats the humidity there? i hope its not damping off!

anyway, if this was my plant i would dig it out and check its roots. if its the roots smell like a pool with fish shit in it i'd get some water and mix it with a h202 solution and try to kill it

I just dug it out and smelled the roots and there's no pungents odors. It just smells like the soil...

I'm using my own soil mix with straight soil mixed with perlite, vemiculite, and 5-3-3 nutes.

I don't have a tool to measure the humidity but I'm going to put some wet towels in there tomorrow to help with that. Temps are around 82-86F during light and about 72-74F during dark.

Shit... I just looked at how old they are and it's pretty pathetic they're only this large at day 13... What have I done to stunt the growth this much???

actually could this be cause by a really shitty job of transplanting? I didn't do the best job transplanting to the cup.

idk man, i think it might be the premixed soil. didnt u premix the soil with nutes? and then you added more nutes to that?

well I had two born in miracle grow moisture control. Then I transplanted them to cups. One I left in the MG, one I put in my soil which has a bit of 5-3-3 nutes. My one in MG is actually doing quite well... This one seems to be getting a bit better but it's not as good as my MG one. The only nutes I added was just a hair of nitrate of soda to the tops and watered a little bit. I also foliar fed a nitrate of soda solution a few times but I've stopped. That's all the nutes I've added.

Yah she seems to be doing better now. Her new growth is looking good and that leaf necrosis and yellowing seems to have stopped. Just watered both and kept the runoff at 6.5pH and 6.6pH and they're under 19 hours of light I believe. Seems to all be going well
