New Grower and New to GWE

[5dollaralien]

Hi Everyone, been lurking on here for a bit but figured it was time to post.
Just wanted to share my first grow, they are about 52 days in from seed
They are Bruce Banner autos, I have had a few bumps in the road that set these back about a week early on but they recovered
How do they look? Also I have a strange one third photo front, does anyone know what it is?

It's a female with indica traits. That's about all I could tell you. Is it bag seed? 5dollaralien plants look healthy so far.

The yellow leaf? What's your pH, medium, nutrient schedule, and are you using calmag?

[5dollaralien]

Unfortunately I am using some miracle grow soil which made them grow after they were stunted, I water with 6.0-6.2 ph and have been using foxfarm trio at about half strength. Calmag have been using half strength as well. The odd one had a problem starting off it never came up it if soil because it had air around seed but once resown it was ok but just looked different than the other 3

Autos in Miracle-Gro with additional nutrients and calmag.
Stop all but bloom nutrients. By now, your plant doesn't care about anything but making flowers. Since you are flowering in soil, raise your pH to the 6.8 range. (I will go so far as to say don't worry about pH because MG is one of those that self-adjusts.)
Miracle-Gro is not great for cannabis, horrible for flowering autos because it is choc-full of time release veg nutrients that your plant doesn't want or need.
On the surface, everything I just said is moot because at 52 days the only issue I see in your pictures is the yellowing leaf. But the one time I grew an auto in MG while doing my coco thing my MG plant was a great big affair with wispy buds because the plant never stopped vegging.

Thanks for advice I have heard that about mg but wanted them to just grow. I have stopped the other nutes a couple weeks ago when starting seeing signs of flower and stopped in the smaller one as well figured the mg nutes would carry it through. I will add a picture of the younger odd one later as am at work.

They look healthy! Welcome.

[5dollaralien]

Thanks for the welcomes
First picture is the one that is different from the rest
This not bag seed bought from a seed place online
Feed every other watering
These pictures are March 12

Hello 5dollaralien. The plant with the weird leaves, did you do anything different with it than the others? I've had the same issue more than once recently. My plants showing leaves such as yours have been stunted and grew slow. I eventually pulled them up. One of them had offset nodes, like a clone. I've thought it was a PH issue, nope, not when the tent mates are thriving, and all PH meters are correctly calibrated. I've had this happen with fresh unused grow medium (coco/perlite) and also recycled medium. With the Nutes, temps, PH, RH, EC, all in range, my uneducated conclusion after trying everything to get the plant to grow normally, is this may be caused by a some unknown pathogen or is a genetic anomaly. I've thought BTCV was the culprit but that only gets spread from leaf hoppers. This has happened to me with seeds from different suppliers, so that's not it either. I hope your plant pulls out of this, please let us know how you treat it.

The mutant in the first picture is 3 weeks old. What does it look like now?

[Bluey]

I'd follow Ginge's advice but start with a flush of just water with a pH of 6.8. Mind you it may not help if the N is slow release...and that a serious problem MG has for growing cannabis when they flower.

3rd pics might be too much N. New growth is quite green with some twisting.

Gingerbeard it is the plant in the third picture at beginning of thread, I just noticed yesterday that it's showing signs of flowering

Got it. Young and crinkly turned into short and bushy. I'd call that more of a mutation than anything you did wrong.
Very interesting the difference in phenotypes. You would do well to look into the various types of training for your next grow. Shoot for a more even canopy so the lower buds get as much light as the tops.
That you are just showing female parts is odd considering the development of the other plants.

Yes it was a little bump in road this one, it had an airspace when seed was first planted and never came until I investigated and resowed

[5dollaralien]

There is orange clips I used on a couple just to pull down side shutes and also green plant twist ties and have cut some lower leaves, left one of the plants alone
