    Not sure about the seeds

    check out the organics forum if you are thinking of going this way. I like to water my container first, then just plant straight in the moistened soil-no pre-sprouting necessary. This cuts down on transplant stress and cuts out the risk of damaging the tap root or letting it dry out. You...

    My mother plant looks sick, any ideas?

    you mentioned that you had used chemical (i assume salt based) fertilizer in the past, are you still using it? I'd probably give a simple worm casting AACT to boost the microbial life, and then give an aloe and kelp tea foliar. :peace:

    Should I harvest?

    I've moved entirely to kelp and fish hydrolysate, no need for the seabird guano--that shit is hott!! but your 4-4-4 had some P, just maybe not as much as your girls wanted; check the hydrolysate, its a bit lighter than the guano and you can give it every other watering. I haven't had any...

    Nute or light burn? & nutrient question (seedling)

    they don't need any nutes for the first couple of days, then you should be feeding something like 1/4 strength. how much are you watering and how frequently? blurple lights can be hung pretty close, but blurple lights have also been known to produce the strange growth patterns (twisting etc.)...

    Should I harvest?

    pH seems possible here; if you've been giving guano there shouldn't be a P deficiency issue, but there definitely could be some imbalances. Too late now, but you could always try a simple EWC + Kelp+ Fish hydrolysate AACT at the first sign of burn followed by plain H2O, but that's no help now...

    Transplanting question

    There's no issue transplanting--do it gently to minimize shock and allow a week for your plant to rebound from the stress of transplanting. There's also no issue using your 11L pot, though fabric and airpots do allow more root density than simple plastic pots, but there's a reason why simple...

    Should I harvest?

    several look like they've got some nute burn up into the main colas, but they might still swell a bit--chop the first six in the next week or so and let the last two ride for two weeks. That's what I think I'd do here. what was in that amendment on 4/16? give a rundown of the grow so far and...

    Possible light burn on beginning flower? Need a little direction

    yes, the pistils are white when you first see them emerge; as the bud grows and swells, they will darken to an amber/reddish brown and as the bud approaches ripeness they will begin to recede into the bud. You might want to take a spin through some of the excellent grow journals on here...you...

    Looks fine to me... mighty fine, in fact. :peace:

    Leafs seem droopy, purple stems

    Consider switching your lights to give 'em some rest; 18/6 will keep them in vegetative if you're still looking to veg, though 50 days is already more than enough. What's your RH? This does look like an overwatering issue, so if they aren't perking up as you let them dry out, i really think...

    Are they nearly ready or not?

    Looks like you could be up to 2 weeks out; don't know if Ripen is going to take two weeks off / speed up your plant's metabolism by 2 weeks but I'm guessing it won't really. You need the space ASAP?

    Will this be enough light?

    that will certainly help! i use 100w/plant as a quick rule of thumb, but the game is to get the most photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) to your plant as possible. Wattage is only a very rough proxy of PAR. Save up for the hlg 550w or snag an IndaGro induction light with the led...

    Leaves turning a rusty brown color... help

    Could be the specific response of that plant, could be something else. How old are they? Whats your temp? RH? whats pH at feeding? I don't usually weigh in on salt based fertilizer shit because I could never make it work for me. My guess is she's showing a some kind of nutrient lockout issue...

    Lets delve deep into powdery mildew for a sec

    definitely sounds familiar and fungal. you could try neem or a copper based fungicide perhaps. best of luck!

    Foxfarm ocean forest and coco coir

    FFOF usually has enough to carry through the first couple of weeks of vegetative growth, but when you mix it with coco 50:50, you're cutting that down a bit. Don't worry about the whole monsanto stuff, you'll grow fine in it this round and then be prepared to recycle it for future grows. the...

    Bud swell or Fox tailing?

    yeah so temperatures arent bad at all so foxtailing shouldn't happen too swiftly unless its a genetic predisposition. Either way, its no big deal; let the calyxes swell a bit more and chop 'em! be easy, :peace: :leaf: :peace:

    Please help me save my plants ! Necrosis ?

    they're overfed and overfeeding can cause lockout, which causes other problem. Too much of one nutrient means it can't get the others it needs. Flush with h2o @6.2pH. (you're in soil right?) ease your way back into feeding--start half or quarter strength and work your way back up. how long do...

    Why do my leafs look like this?

    what size are your containers? they look like they're curling down more than drooping, but it could be underwatering--how long does it take for them to get light enough for you to water? without being able to see the color of the leaves, its a little hard to weigh in on whether its a nitrogen...
