Thoughts on my baby girl?

AK47, auto-femminized. 2 to 3 weeks old. She is growing in Jiffy Seed Starting mix. No nutes added yet.









You can see, she looks really good and healthy, to me at least anyways, but look at that right leaf, here is a close up:







A little blurry, sorry. Anyone know what that might be?


Then the first two leaves that pop out, forget what they are called, they are turning yellow:






All the other leaves are bright green. Are those first two leaves supposed to turn yellow (and maybe die) over time? Or is that an indication that nutes are needed now? I was thinking of starting the nutes with General Hydroponics Flora trio and Calimagic and 1/3rd strength, then slowly getting up to full strength. Thoughts? Thanks!!!

Looks hungry

what size pot is that?

Looks hungry based on those letter first two leaves? Does my proposed feeding strategy make sense?

VERY small pot, just a starter. Going to transfer her to her final hone, a 5 gallon bucket, soon. Any reason not to use just more seed starter? It seems to have worked well so far. Or I have some Kellog raised garden/potting mix I might try.

Thanks!!!

Ok so you say it’s an auto? They should start in final pot for future reference.

I’m going to leave the re-potting for someone else I have zero experience.

you can decide if you want to feed from here on out or just use water? If you have a good soil that has nutrients that would be good.

Thanks Wattzzup! Auto indeed. Yea, I read that somewhere, AFTER I planted it unfortunately, thank you for reminding me! I'm going to replant it to its final 5 gallon resting place ASAP, and new ones I plant will go directly into the 5 gallons! Curious - do you know why autos in particular, and not non-autos necessarily, should go straight to their final planting place?

I honestly do not know how much nutrients that Jiffy seed starting mix has, I worry it is low - it feels very soft, like that coco choir stuff or whatever, and I think that is very low on nutrients. And given that its a seed starter, and seeds come with some amount of built in nutrition, I would guess they didn't bother putting in a bunch. Plus you said yourself it looks hungry. Guess I'll mix up a batch of 1/3 strength General Hydro/Calimagic and give her a drink! Thanks!

Yes that jiffy mix won’t have much of anything in it. It should say on the bag.

I think the autos can’t handle the shock of the transplant and don’t have the time to recover. I’m not 100%. I’ve never transplanted so I don’t even know. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

I think it’s supposed to be really dry to transplant. So I would maybe transplant then water? Or you just going to wait until next time it dries out?

maybe @Renfro or @spek9 can bring some intelligence to this convo.

Thanks Wattzzup! Paging @Renfro and @spek9 .

is it just the image or is the very base of the maim stem "pinched" looking? Damping off?

I think that is just an optical illusion caused by some dirt on part of the stem Renfro. No reason for it to be pinched off, that is for sure. But the soil was getting low there because I was putting water there, forcing it down/out, so I added some more close to the stem.

Just snapped this pic - regular leaves are now getting yellow so I mixed up a 1/2 solution of Genral Hydro trio/CaliMagic and just gave her some. Let's see how she does!

One of them say autos can’t handle of transplants it’s correct because it’s will be on their final pot forever to grow not have tile to transplant alike photo period plant
