Begginer trying to grow outdoor

You were right, the tips of the leaves are a little burnt now. I guess I have to give her PH balanced water and hope for the best.
Generally, Biobizz all mix should be fine to germinate in. That's what I've heard at least. However, some cannabis plants are going to be weaker or stronger than others. It's possible you got one that is a bit sensitive to nutrients and that it got burnt a little.

Two options: Wait and see or flush your medium to get some of the nutrients out. Honestly, I don't know what you should do. I'm not confident in saying it's nutrient burn and I'm not confident enough in how to solve it.

I suggest you wait for some more experienced opinions or go read about nutrient burn or biobizz seedlings getting burnt etc to get an idea of what advice is normally given and if the diagnosis fits your situation.

Hello, is my plant showing signs of heat stress? I think so because the leaves are curling. I am keeping her under a shading cloth, I put the pot inside a bigger pot and I water frequently, early in the morning. What should I do more, because I think that’s not enough. Outside is so hot, it’s been 38 degrees during the day for 2 weeks, I don’t know what to do more

Damn, 38c is wild. I have no tips or advice for that. I guess the shade cloth is a good idea. Make sure to water enough. When it's that hot I would rather you watered too much than too little. Your plant needs a lot of water in that heat.

Good idea with putting your pot inside a bigger pot, to shield the sides from the heat a bit.

I have no ideas beyond what you're already doing sorry. I'm lucky if my temps reach 25c.

But the plant looks fine to me.

Yeah the weather in romania is crazy hot, I read somewhere that romania has the perfect weather for growing but that’s not true. Where do you grow btw?

I'm in Northern Europe, so we have short summers and cold weather, wind, rain, etc. So I grow mostly strains that are mold-resistant and with short flowering. I wish I had better weather, but I'm happy I don't have 38c

Hello, it’s day 20 and I see some green leaves coming out that are thin, they don’t look like they are forming into leaves, is she starting to flower?

I have a hard time seeing what you mean, from the photo. I think you might just be talking about new growth. New leaves, before they pop out and take form fully, look a bit odd.

Here's what flowering would look like, you'd start seeing calyxes with pistil, at nodes. Those will be bud sites (As far as I know)

If you take a better picture from the top or where we can see the top it's easier to say

You have some small white marks on your leaves from some kind of bug. Not enough to be super worried, but might be worth spraying with something once a week to keep on top of it. Check under your leaves just to be sure there's no mites or aphids or something hiding. Could also be thrip damage.

The easiest and cheapest would be to dilute some neem oil in water and spray that once a week until you are in flowering. Then no more neem (It ruins the taste of buds)

In flowering, you will need to find something else to use. Depends on where you live.

Thanks for the advice! I did sprayed her with some neem oil a few days ago, but I don’t know if I could watch under the leaves, the plant’s stem is fragile and thin, and she is very unstable. It happened to me twice, I don’t know how to explain, she fell down but not all the way, like halfway and I thought that the base of the stem snapped, but after a few hours she was back up. I don’t know if I could get the stems to be thicker, should I tie her to a stick?

You could tie it to a stick loosely, so it can still move a bit in the wind. It's good for the stem, it encourages it to thicken a bit.

That's what I've done with mine, so they can still wobble and move a bit, but if the wind gets too strong the rope will stop them from getting damaged or falling over.

Spray with neem once a week, also under the leaves if you can.

I would fold down the edges of your pot, currently they're very tall for no reason. You could fold them down so there's only like 5cm left.
