Troubleshooting for eternity. First grow.

Okay so you are using a cal mag supplement? Can you please tell me what nutrient regimen you are using? If your just using cal mag that is not enough. So i second the nutrient deficiency issue! I don't grow in soil but cal mag alone is not enough!

I do not have a nutrient regimen, I think switching to tap water, a bit of calmag foliage feed and making sure in watering correctly will correct this issue. I do like the EWC top soil suggestion aswell. I think all of those combined may show adequate results in my opinion. I'm not saying you guys are wrong, I think feeding nutrients or holding back water at this point may be detrimental don't you reckon?

Yes yes yes. Don’t mix styles. Nutrient regimen for soiless. Amendments and castings for soil. Feed the soil. Not the plant. Water the soil. Not the plant. Plant knows what it’s supposed to do

Starting to get explosive growth, going to transplant all the 1 gallons to 5 gallons in about a weeks time. Looks like I got this under control now! Going to start a 2x DWC totes in a few weeks. Already have majority of the supplies for the DWC.

I feel like I'm battling a stupid issue at this point. Or maybe rust fungus?

You should raise the light and maybe put them on 18/6. They look light stressed. Cheers!

Edit: Didn't read all the posts. Looking much better on last post.

No opinions on whether or not cloning these mothers at this point would be beneficial or not?

I know it's a rare occurrence so not many people would have experience here but there are some real smart people here that understand the hormones of the plant way more than I do. I'd love to hear any and all opinions, thank you

 

[LunarVera]

Any recommendations for the bottom growth of the plants? Get rid of skinny shoots? Take out just small growth?Flipping to flower in about 10 days or so and it looks like they are starting more shoots, not sure what I should do here. Do I leave it or?

if you are adding 1 gallon of water to the 5 gallon pots i would back it off to half a gallon at this stage they look over watered

What makes you suggest overwatering from 1gallon of water to a 5 gallon pot? Just wondering. Wouldn't overwatering be watering too frequently?

Why distilled water?

Why distilled water?

My water was unusable at my old house and I started using distilled water and never really stopped.

I still can't get down the watering, I feel as if I over water or under water. I wait until it's dry on the top but then I can't judge if the soil is moist like, or wet or just right. I am going to go buy a soil hygrometer to check for moisture today, so I can make sure it isn't over or underwatering. Usually 2-3 times a week? 5 gallon pots are getting 1 gallon ATM, and the 1 gallon pots are getting until runoff, but I cant figure out when I should and shouldn't water because I can't correctly read the plants when they are constantly sad already. I need to water each of them to their individual needs and I feel a moisture meter will help me.

When in doubt wait until they are too dry.

Worst advice ever, just ignore him.

all i know from my last grow in 5 gallon buckets at that state of veg 1 gallon was enough between 3 plants every other day but i was using promix so maybe thats different i am in 7 gallon pots of soil in mid flower and they only take half a gallon every other day and thats with runoff maybe my water is wetter than yours

If you're giving them a half a gallon of water in 7 gallon pots and they are giving runoff, the water is coming down the sides of the pot by watering to fast or the soil is already almost at full capacity by not letting it thoroughly dry. Or maybe your water is more wet then mine?

i will have to look into that i pour it in the pot from a cup and the top soil usually dries out fast i think i made a bad choice with these pots they are kind of cone shaped BTW water isnt wet lol

Update, any idea what's going on with my fan leaves?
