She may want a bump in the nutes by now. Is she in a rich soil? Kinda looks like early potassium deficiency
she’s in happy frog but it’s been probably a month since I repotted. should i up it to 1/2 strength and see how she responds? i think she was too close to the light, too. just a funky plant. i cloned her from a plant in flower. for a while as she went back to veg she was popping leaves that didn’t even look like cannabis.

Yes I’d bump up the nutes.. but idk about doubling them. Try like 1/3 strength instead of half. Don’t wanna over do it. You can always feed a starving kid but if you feed til it’s belly explodes... well the kid won’t be around for the next meal lol

quick update on the grow.

@HydroKid239

Ive given one feeding to the larger fugly plant at 30% dose as you recommended. it does look a little better. hopefully it’s gonna continue. Do you suggest sticking with that the next feeding or bumping it up a bit?

the others in the 2x4 are looking healthy to me. the 2 clones in the solo cups have lots of new growth and i can see roots through the holes in the bottom. not sure when i should transplant but thinking about doing it in the next week.

the other 4 are looking good and i think i will top them soon.

the 3 plants in the 2x2 are flowering and still looking pretty good, overall. lights off so no pics of them right now.

its kind of hard to overwater in fab pots.... you must be watering too often.

How often do you water and how much water are you giving her?

The 4 on the right side are ready for topping and LST. Perfect size if you ask me. The 2 in the party cups look like they should be transplanted soon. They are big enough. I transplant once the cup starts showing shadows from the leaves. (Will happen once they reach far enough over the rim of the cup) if you see roots I’d prep the next pot for them asap.

The one in the top left looks hungry.. got any close ups of that one so we can see what the issue might be? Leaves, flowers, node shots, and stems please. That one seems like the only one needing attention other than the cups.

the larger plant gets about 1/4 gallon every 3 or 4 days. the two in the solo cups get 1/8 cup every 2 or 3 days. the other 4 get about 3/4 cup every 4 or 5 days.

Got my laptop connected to the big screen so everything is viewed better.

Do you get any run off after watering?

The 4 on the right.. I would water them around the rims of the pots to make the root reach for that moisture. same for when you transplant. moisten the hole you are putting them in and if you have any root booster I'd add it to the mix to moisten the new pot a little before you put the plant in it's new home.

that plant fits the description of a couple of my exes. definitely needs attention and has issues. i did bump up the feed since you suggested it. stems are very purple. here’s several closer shots of that plant. appreciate advice, just trying to learn. thanks

with those pots on the right.. they should get about a liter of water/feed. That should be up sized every week.. but just make sure to monitor when you should be watering. Use the weight of the pot as a guide on when to water.

the 4 on the right were transplanted about a week ago. i added a couple tablespoons of mycorrhizae when moving them from solos to 3 gallon fabrics. will do the same when i transplant the 2 solo cup clones.

i do get a small amount of runoff.

Looks like Potassium and nitrogen deficiencies. Potassium def is on the older fan leaves.. N deficiency on the new growth.

This could also be caused by light burn but with the locations of the infections it's def potash you need.

Try and keep track of the amount of feed you give/frequency, as well as PH going in.. and PH coming out. PH on the way ou can toss you a hint that you need to check soil PH every once in a while. Do you have a soil meter?

this plant was about 15” from the light about a week ago but i dropped it off the milk crate it was on so it’s probably 25” now. that and the 30% feed of grow big and big bloom, plus calmag...it looks a little better. will this feeding every other supply what it needs or do i need to change that?

i have been bad about tracking what i give and frequency but i will use this thread to chart any time i do anything moving forward.

i pH everything going in to 6.5-6.6. i have never checked the run off. i did buy a soil meter when i got started but saw people saying it’s no good in other threads so i haven’t used it.
