Are you going to keep it in a 1gal. pot?

soOrbudgal , I'm planning on 3 gallon. I dont know how long I should wait to do that? I dont have cloth 3g but I do have soil and plastic i can get ready.
1 of them does look to be more short and bushy, I didnt know if I hurt her

I think it looks pretty dang good overall. It looks like early signs of calcium deficiency causing the spots, the tiniest bit of edge lifting from light stress which tells me the lighting is almost perfect and the one clawed leaf is more a sign to me that the plant is getting enough nitrogen than it is something to worry about. If you don't have any yet, get some calmag soon. I'd recommend getting one with 1-0-0 or 2-0-0 since sometimes you just need the calmag and don't want to add nitrogen. I bought a bottle of Advanced Sensi Calmag extra because I found it cheap when I needed it and didn't pay attention to the fact that it's 4-0-0 so it's harder to work with imo.

Ok. I don't have any. I'll look that up. Is there any other cal-mag I should look @. Maybe I can grab it locally. I've just been water so far. I have molasses. Don't know when/if I should start it. Last night I did put up my new PAR600 light I have it @30". They are in 3G pots.

Any decent garden store will have some sort of calmag (IDK if you have a local that is open in winter) or you could probably have it saturday from amazon. Molasses is for the second half of flowering and don't forget that it lowers pH when the time comes to use some. Three gallon pots should work great and be plenty to go all the way unless you plan on a lengthy veg period.

i had plans to stay in the 3s. I do have some open stores but Amazon is usually faster with the work schedule, unless the feed store has it, they carry the soil and nutes. They're around the corner. I'll get some before I feed em next , Oh, My water in the trays looked like 5.0 when I tried to test it on the color chart so I'll feed closer to 7.0?

I would just stick with around 6.5-6.6.

Why do you think they need CalMag? Looks to me like they are already a little nute burned. Are you feeding at every watering or every other watering? If the tent temps are high enough you should be watering every 3 or 4 days. Every other watering should be just plain PH'd water. If you are using super soil like Fox farm they really don't need nutes for the first 4-6 weeks as they get their nutrients from the soil.
Additionally remember that the plants thrive on Light more than Nutes. Consider some plant training in order to get more flowers...do this in a week or so.
You also mentioned that they were feminised not auto so yes the light schedule needs to be 18/6 until they flower then drop to 12/12.
And finally I would never transplant more than once to reduce transplant shock. From Solo cup to final pot should be what you do in future and the pots should be at least 3 gallon. They make fabric pots in all sizes. To avoid the plant potentially becoming root bound, the bigger the better. I would go with 5 gallon pots filled to within an inch of the top of the pot.

just going off the leafs on the calmag and recommended. Ive given them nothing but Phd water at this point. no nutes @ all. I had a little bit of OF soil left so I mixed it with some HF. got a pack of fabric pots with my light for next run. My temps in the temp seem to stay around low-mid 70s. may change with the new light

I transplant twice usually with very few issues. Start in a 1 gallon pot, up to a 2 gallon, and then into the final.

So just an update, been 5 weeks since they hit the water to germinate. I did get a little eager and tie em down for a bit and then removed the ties. didnt know if it was too soon but they seem to be doing good and liking the new light. The bud sites are climbing. Still just PHd water at this point. did put a little calimagic last feed on monday. Thinking maybe a week more than 12/12? As always Thanks GWE wouldnt be here with out you and advice is always appreciated by this noob!

Here my setup for 36 seedlings. Raised lights to get a good picture. Seeds are 3.5 days from the coco coir pods I started them in, just spray with water, try not to over do the water, very important if you need a warm spot to sprout seedlings I use the top of my grow tent. 30'c at the top inside of tent gets them above ground quickly once above ground they go into solo cups and under the CFLs. Just my 2 cents worth...

So far looking good Jordann I love the curly CFL for seeds and clones

by the plant sysmptom looks like PH or potassium? it was only 2 leaves on 1 plant. started seeing some yellowing. split a gallon between the 2, with some nutes finally sunday . I hadnt seen them til I just got home. was just a few spots figured it may clear up but seems to have got worse. Any ideas/Advise? im only using the color chart to ph. pretty sure Im close to 6.5ish both seemed to look like a 5.0 on run off.pics are of the plant with most of it. the 2nd its on a few tips

It's tough to see in that light. You're not watering to runoff every time are you? Have you started giving any nutrients yet? There's only a few weeks worth of nutrients in the FF soils and every bit of runoff carries nutrients out of the pot.

I've just checked the run off, I haven't fed higher yet as that was the first time I checked it cause I usually don't get runoff but felt I wasn't feeding enough. but was deff down near 5.0 as it was reddish in color. When I fed them Thursday I gave just 1/2 what the FFtrio chert said. Sunday i gave them some on that feed too. But that's the only nutes they gotten in the 5 weeks. I usually leave the water in the tent for a day before mixing up?
