First week of training and it’s not happy

[Willyd]

Hey all my white widow is undergoing it’s first week of LST and it’s completely stopped growing and doesn’t look happy any thoughts?? Ph is 6 rh is 55% and temp is 24 it was fed but this started a couple days before that

Maybe feeding too much? Without more information that's all I can think of. Maybe your light is too high?

[CaptainWiese91]

Definitely not from LST the way the plant looks like. As dphipps1020 is writing, more info
I don’t think it’s the light, because it’s the leaves underneath.
Could easily be a feeding problem. But we need more info

[Willyd]

It’s in super soil and is fed kelp every second watering the light it’s under is a 1200 watt and iits about 24” away as per specs. I hadn’t changed anything with the plant just the training. Let me know if I missed anything

[CaptainWiese91]

And it started before you fed it with nutes 🤔 when you say PH is 6, you mean the water or the soil?

[CaptainWiese91]

It’s really dark in the leaves color..
But if it started before you gave nutrition... what are the NPK in this “super soil” ?

She's too young. She should have 5-6 nodes, and be growing strong or it's not low stress: it's high stress.

[CaptainWiese91]

Agreed

[Willyd]

I kinda thought it was a little early but being trapped in the house got to me and my impatience set in. what do you guys think recovery time will be? is there anything I should do to help it or just leave it alone until it's healthy again

[alltatup]

Willyd First, apologize to her, and treat her with utmost TLC, telling her she's going to recover and that she's a beautiful girl. (I talk to my plants all the time, like when I'm defoling or LSTing them, and I tell them what good girls they are.)

Next, give her all the time she needs to start growing strong: you'll see her strength return, good color, up-pointing leaves when she's in a good place. Do not rush it. Impatience will never result in top shelf bud.

Third, my humble opinion: you must never force a Cannabis plant; you have to work with her. You can't impose your will on her and get the best results. It has to be a joint effort, so to speak. And I think a lot of folks don't realize that it's not just them doing whatever the fk they want, it's the plant as well. So learn how to really see her, her level of health and strength, and you'll be able to work with her better. Not on her.
