    First time grower desperate for help!! Is she experiencing nute deficiency or did I give her to much nutes?

    Yeah, it's hard to keep too small pot properly moist, but not too dry. Maybe you could try bottom feeding? Put the pots in a tote or so and water them from the bottom. Especially those fabric pots could work nicely like that. Maybe cover the top soil with something that blocks evaporating water...

    Stems on cuttings curling

    Yep, as long as it stays moist it isn't really a problem. Put the light above it and I bet it would straighten itself. Or add the light intensity bit later when there's more roots. I've had bending stems in cuttings often when I let them lean againts water glass, so they try straighten...

    Stems on cuttings curling

    In a established plant the bottom of the stem is fixed in place and the plant can adjust itself into light. So basically it is trying to turn itself pointing towards the light. Solutions is to adjust the light that it comes from above or increase the amount of light. Carefull with the amount of...

    Potassium deficiency?

    Lol, did I say OP's plant are cuttings? Big difference with lockout and toxicity. Which nutrients you think are locked out and which are in toxic amounts?

    Potassium deficiency?

    Well you can easily light stress a cutting with about 100ppfd 24/7. So it definatly depends on the root system how much they tolerate before it starts to stress them. As for ppm, it could be molecular instead of elemental so I wouldn't give it too much thought. How do you think Potassium...

    Potassium deficiency?

    Yeah, you could go heavier PK feed. Check the 2nd picture and compare the color of the leaves. That bluish tint is more often than not phosphorus deficiency. Also seems like you got K deficiency spotted out. And for consideration, could you be getting tad too much light? Few of the symptoms...

    Nitrogen problem?

    Hmm, well definatly looks like some N deficiency. But I reckon there is more deficiencies. No signs of overfeeding. But quite red stems, which is phosphorus/magnesium, here I suspect phosphorus. So you could overall feed a little stronger solution. Just don't overdo the nitrogen at this point...

    Best alternatives to maxi line?

    MPK = monopotassium phosphate MgS (MagnesiumSulphur) = Epsom salt These are not any brands, but the basic ingredients that every brand uses. I'm doing DWC with few as possible water changes, so I try adjusting as best I can for growth phase. But having an spreadsheet or something like...

    Best alternatives to maxi line?

    I've used maxibloom and bunch of other hydro store stuff along the way. I just can't justify the price nowadays. Especially when I like tweaking the recipe according phenos, growth stages etc. Now I have 25kg bag of Basefert for 50-60euros 25kg bag of MPK for 80euros 25kg bag of CalNit for...

    Weed Porn-Lets see your current grow

    I'd say that's more of an phosphorus deficiency. Few reasons you could have it, not having enough phosphorus, the obvious one. But I reckon the soil could be too wet here. If the soil is too wet, phosphorus is not gonna absorb well.

    Weed Porn-Lets see your current grow

    Wait.. Didn't you have balls all over last time we saw? I'm really not into hairy balls, but here I'd like to see how they matured. I'm thinking you mean they are gonna test over 40% of being males and you should throw them in the fire. :rolleyes:

    Would you start flowering?

    I definatly wouldn't chop a whole plant. You want to make use of the root space you have. So try keeping the top canopy as level as possible and trim the lower branches that doesn't get proper light. Also you can trim the smaller branches that try growing to the top, but where the area is...

    Stand alone flowering Nutrient.

    My recipes tend to be quite flexible, since I try doing as few water changes as possible. For veg I aim for NPK 3-1-2 CaMg 2-1 Early flower(1-3weeks) NPK 1-1-2 CaMg 1-0,5 Then I got few recipes going from NPK 1:1:2 to 1:2:4, K to Ca goes to 3:1 But I'd suggest you try Maxibloom. It's pretty...

    Week 4, 1st grow, does it look right?

    There's a small learning curve getting the hydro's working right. Nothing too special, but knowing the basics well. The growth speed difference between the soil and hydro is just uncomparable. The limitless supply of oxygen and water with proper nutrients produces some magnificent growth. I'm...
