Well with all those details I don’t know what to say. How long ago was it put in the 10 gallon? What strain is it and how big is it? Try a picture for more help. A big clue is that recent transplant into a large container.

Medium too.

Sorry about that.

So about a month ago I Trimmed a lot of leaves off. Noticed it had small spots on it. I kind of freaked out and thought I had a bug infestation with out looking more into it. I believe it was a nutrient deficiency now. It’s been growing pretty good and it just came to a stop with in the last 2 wks or so.

I just moved it to the 10gal container about 3 days ago. It was in a 5gal container. Prior to moving I dried it out. No water for about 3 days. Just so the transfer wouldn’t be too messy.

Once I transferred her I gave her a good bath and soaked her in water. I haven’t watered since.

I keep her in the sun all day and basically let Mother Nature takes its course. The weather has been about 87 degrees at most these last wks. Heat wave coming in the next few days.

I tend to water in the morning but when I transferred I got a little excited and watered in the evening.

I got new soil when transferring and haven’t fed her nutes in about a wk and a half or so.
I usually water every 2-3 days. Depending on the soil and the dryness.

It looks good really. Leaf shape indicates maybe a magnesium deficiency. You can foliar feed that. 1 tablespoon of epsom salts in a gallon of water. Spray on. What medium is this? Peat of some kind? Plant growth will be minimal until the roots find their boundaries. Be patient. That’s a tall container.

Suggest buying some Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP. Mix with water and stir really well. Water slowly all around the plant. Use a couple of gallons. Wait until the container gets light indicating it’s dry. It won’t die of thirst I swear!

2 gallons in a dry 10 gallon should get it well down in the medium. It’s one of the best things you can do. Especially before flowering.

This is my 1st grow.
I’m assuming medium stand for soil???
If so, I’m using miracle grow performance organic.

I have another plant growing as well but that one is growing good. I have a feeling it’s a male. From what I read males grow faster.

I keep them separate but definitely want to continue the growth to take the seeds for next year. Lol

The medium is fine but extremely short of Perlite. It should be cut 1:1 with perlite. However it’s a little late for that. Still foliar feed magnesium. Don’t feed anything and don’t overwater!!!! Extremely important no matter and that medium will stay wet a long time.

Again do not overwater. The plant is not going to die from a lack of moisture. Especially with that medium.

I Appreciate the kind words & the advise given. Will definitely look into.

Thanks!

That epson salt.
How often would I spray that on?
And should I spray during the day?

That’s good medium by the way. I just got a bag of their organic potting soil. I amended it with perlite and a few tablespoons of lime in every 5 gallon grow bag. Transferred some absolutely forgotten and abused clones in it and they love it. No droop. No wilt. They’re happy. I also added a scoop of Mykos into each bag.

Spray on early in the morning. Just a couple times a month. It will show deficiency if it needs more. An excess of any one nutrient can cause nutrient lockout. Not good. Keep it simple. You can spray it on the top and the bottom of the leaf. Just a mist. They’ll droop from the weight. Don’t worry about it.

Would it be wise to mix with Fert?

No I would wait. That soil has organic fertilizer already. Don’t listen to people blast it here because it’s not their time release fertilizers. It’s actually true organic. Probably high in nitrogen. You will need to fertilize for flower. There’s no phosphorus or potash in it. The Mykos is to assist in this. It will be the transport system for the nutrients in your medium.

Don’t worry about fertilizer right now. Not for a while. Keep the soil cultivated and aerated.

Got it.

Thanks again!

You’ve done real well to this point. Keep it simple and get bud.
