need advice with my jedi kush

Hello all...this is my first time here and my first time growing. I could use some advice on the jedi kush i am trying to grow. I recently transplanted them into 5 gallon pots a week ago and all the others i have (which are different strains) have almost doubled in size. But my jedi hasn't. I water them every 2-3 days and the room temp is 74 and humidity is at 68. I tested the soil and all tests have come out fine...those tests were...nitrogen, potassium, ph, phosphorus. I am not sure if this is normal for this strain or not. I also water with filtered water and i also airate it. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kinda small for transplanted them into 5 gallon pots how much water looks over watered

What kind of soil are you using?

That plant looks sad, and unhealthy. It might just be some really shitty genetics. Is it a clone, or from seed?

Sometimes you just get stuck with a bad plant. I have right now growing 2 Tangerines, and you wouldn't think the are the same type of plant. 1 is 6 " and 1 is 2', in the same hydro set up. That's the way the ball bounces sometimes.

I agree. Your potting mix might hold moisture really well. Watering every 2-3 days might be too much for that little plant. I would water it once every 5-6 days... for now. Wait until it gets bigger, then resume with your 2-3 day watering schedule.

It was from a clone. And i give it about 1/4 gallon of water. I have given all my others the same and they have grown very well...this one is the only one that has an issue...each time i water it i check the soil and it seems dry and the pot feels very light when i lift compared to how it is after i just watered it

The soil i am using is happy frog

Thanks..i will start watering it every 5-6 days and see if that works....thank you very much

Where did you get the clone? I would contact that person, and ask them about the average size and yield of the plant. What to expect, etc.

Also, how old is it? Was the cutting new and fresh, or was it kind of stiff and woody?

Not sure exactly how old it is...i have had it for a week...the person i got it from just told me that it was ready for big pots...i got it from a private person that does clones

Im willing to bet that the cutting was not taken from the new fresh growth of the plant. Usually when a cutting is taken from the older growth of a plant, it takes longer for it to show that vigorous growth that is seen in clones that were taken from the fresh new growth.

Anyways, cut back on the watering for a week, and see how it affects the plant. Be patient with her. It could be a finicky plant, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Finicky plants tend to produce some really great herb. Its just a pain figuring out the plant's preferences.

Good luck

One last thing... when you water it, use a whole gallon. Make sure the the soil is thoroughly watered. Then wait 5-6 days before you water it again.

Good luck

Thank you so much for your help...i will do that from now on

I noticed "swirly" leaves in the third picture. That occurs when you move the plant in relation to the light source. During veg period the younger leaves (usually easy to tell by being lighter in color) will swivel to face the light. Moving the plant at that stage will result in swirlies.

The short stubby plant is stunted. You can tell by how the "larger" leaves aren't so large. Means that for some reason that plant wasn't getting all the essential requirements it needed to grow healthy. Could be genetics but I'd vote against that because the whole plant looks like it is drooping. I would transplant that one into a smallish , 1-2 gallon pot, and I'd get some more perlite into the soil. The perlite makes it easier for a plant to reach the water, oxygen and nutrients it needs. If any of these 3 are unavailable the plant will lean towards being (re-)stunted.

Good luck, BigSteve.

PS - Large bottom leaves with yellow/green discoloration may be a factor of nute-burn. Happens when nute-water splashes on leaves while watering. It's a good idea to keep a spray bottle handy when using nute-water. Just spray off any n-water that lands on leaves. Spraying is also beneficial all on it's own.
