That dawned on me literally 5 seconds before I got your reply. Thanks👌
Hello everyone I am a first time grower and ran into a problem i cant find a solution for. My top leaves always turn white and slowly recover and also they get kinda curled and feel very dry to the touch. I am using royalqueenseeds Medical Mass - the small one and Critical - the bigger one. I use 150 watt dual spectrum cfl with 3 more 23 watt smaller cfl bulbs. I water them every other day and keep the distance of the bulbs not too low. I havent used any nutrients yet, but today I started with biobizz grow. I saw the ph of the critical is a bit high 7 or little above so i will lower it but the other is okay. Any suggestions

I had this problem with a cheep LED. It was very strong I had to buy a better one. When I did, I raised it 2 inches from 20to 22 when they were young and this solved the problem. I never thought it being a nutrient thing. My little girls until week 2 of veg get nothing but what’s in the fox farm soil, so they get about 4 weeks of straight ph water no nutrients. I read from That LED is a strong spectrum for little plants to get accustomed to. Especially if your seed room has different lights than your veg and Flower. I grow under a CMH 315w. It’s great all the way. Never will go back to another light.
I have 13 seedlings of different clones which are 2 weeks old. I iplaced them in a sliding glass door with the thought of of growing them for a few weeks indoors before moving outside when we are frost free. I forgot that the door is a low e type unti yesterday when I was trying to understand why they are so stretched. They are about 10 cm tall and super spindly looking. Obviously they can't be pinched back yet but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to "beef them up" a bit so they could go outside in a few weeks. They are so spindly they fall over if I mist them unless I support with toothpicks.

Well here's what i'd do if I were in you shoes...I have long skewers made of wood for shesh-k-bob size of pencil lead real cheap in any grocery store. I use these to support my tomato plants when they stretch too tall before I can plant outside. If you plant them in a container or in the ground bury them real deep till just a couple inches of the tops are exposed. It's gonna be a challenge the stems are looking fragile, gonna have to support them for now until you can get them under some lights.
Hey guys, I have a slight problem with one of my ladies... This is my first grow ever and let's just say I made every rookie mistake possible, and when I finally got it all figured out, this girl (which I believe is Auto Afghan, not sure cause I didnt't label them correctly), started burning like hell. I narrowed it down to Potasium deficiency, because I have my Viparspectra's V450 at 24 inches above the plants, and my temps are stable withing 22-24 Celcius. So I decided to flush the plant completly whlie waiting for my verification. Could and of you please confirm my theory that this is indeed Potasium problem, and was flushing the plant a good idea? Thanks!

Hi Nereids, That's nutrient burn: too much nutrient. So flushing was the right thing, and lower the nutes.

Thank you so much for your reply! I thought it might be nutrient burn but it looks kinda like potasium deficency. So my question is: how do I tell them apart? I've studied the entire GWE website, and from the info provided in the articles, especially in Nutrient Burn article, it seemed like I really have Potasium def. So how can I know for sure which is which?
Also, I flushed the plant yesterday morning, and it seems burning didn't stop, it got worse to be honest. Next time I guess I'll cut the nutes in half and see what happens. Im really worried that this situation will badly effect my yields or worse even kill the plant.

First grow and I think this is calcium deficiency?
Or time for a low dose of FF nutes?
Just noticed on three different plants but only 4 or 5 leaves total.
These are clones they are about 8 weeks old and in 4 inch pots.
They are in soil Foxfarms Ocean Forest and have only been given pH balance water.
I have two others the same age in 1 gallon pots (they show no signs)
Thoughts?

4 Inch pots is small for a 8 week old clone, one gallon may be to small but I do not grow in soil so not sure. When I did grow in soil the smallest I would use would be 4 gal, but that was in the day and I'm not sure how fox farm works.
hello.
i'm growing near windows. less than 12 hours of sun per day, but it has been going fine.
it seems to have just revealed its femininity.
the problem started some weeks ago. yellowing flowers which will eventually fall. more completely so in the lower branches, but the upper leaves, including the new ones, are getting kinda burned on the thips, with bad shapes.
i'll try to capture it in the pictures.
what is it?

alltatup Thank you for your advice. As I said this is my 1st grow so I followed your advice without question. If you could help me with this one issue I'd be really gratefull; since I flushed the plant bud grow seems to have stopped, and the plant next to it which planted and sprouted the same day, outgrew it by mile. I know it can be due to genetics but the plant in question really seems to be stunted, is there anything I can do about it? Or is it a really bad sign that the plant is dying?

Nereids Can you post some more pictures of the plant in question, and in natural light?
And sorry: I forgot it was your first grow. I took for granted that you knew more than you do right now; my bad. I've only been growing for almost three years and at first, I didn't understand that deficiency symptoms can so easily be the results of nutrient lockout because the nute companies like to tell us to use more nutes than we need to in order to sell more of their product.
So one strain may tolerate lots of nutes, where another strain is a delicate eater who doesn't need as much. I grow four different strains in each of my two hydro boxes, and I always make sure that none of them has special nute needs,--or that they all have more or less the same needs. Your plant may have stopped growing because of nutrient lockout, and she may recover and bounce right back.
Once the plant is in flower, we want things to go as smoothly as possible so that there is no negative impact on bud development. One grow I had a horrible case of root rot, and it stunted the growth of the buds, but the buds were still quite good. So your baby may be a runt, but she can still give you great buds.
Here's the breakdown on how to flush a sickly plant: https://www.growweedeasy.com/flushing-sick-cannabis
I also recommend that you talk to her, tell her you're going to stand by her and nurse her back to health, and that you love her unconditionally. It's true that I'm an old hippie and all that cosmic shit, but I really believe that Cannabis responds to our emotions and disposition toward her. Which is why I worship my plants; I'm their servant, and they reward me with the best medicine!!! I just don't get the folks who get mad at their plants; they must have have had bad parents... ;-} We are here to help!!

Hi Cannacaps4U2 It may be time to start feeding them: if they are hungry, leaves can show weird symptoms. I've never done clones, so I hope these articles help:
