    I think its cool that the government was actively honoring people for their contributions to fields other than murder and entertainment.

    Extremely unrelated to the content of this thread but my plant was doing super good but i think i fucked up giving it just the tiniest bit of fertilizer because that’s all i fuckin did and now the 5th set of leaves is coming out stunted and weird angery but it’s probably fine because the rest of it is so vigorous and healthy… except the stem above the seed leaves is like thicc af like god damn, girl. I think it’s okay though because it doesn’t show signs of bending over despite literally being 3x thicker than the portion below it. I got a fan on it both to induce thigmomorphogenesis as well as to reduce mold around the stem (nearly $20 a seed made me real nervous about damping off) so im doing all that. Im gonna transplant it today and bury it up to that point anyway

          Is it yellowing at all or just looking really sad? Indoor or outdoor? What do your temperatures look like.

          Ditch miracle grow it’s bad news. look into some non salt based organic fertilizers. Remember you should be feeding the microbes in the soil that make the food for the plant, not feeding the plant directly (for the most part).

          I like these guys https://www.organicsalivegarden.com/ They have a feeding schedule you can follow or just play it by eye

          Ii f you have any grow stores in your area they may carry it and more. Also grow stores often have vendor days where they hand out a ton of free samples and advice.

          Also if you’re about to transplant I would suggest some heady soil like this https://rootsorganics.com/product/green-fields/

          It’s great and priced reasonably ~$20 for a big bag. Their soil is great for anything else like tomato’s as well. It comes with some amendments mixed in so even if you don’t immediately feed, you should be okay.

          How far are your lights from the top of the canopy? Should be like a foot-ish spacing depending on what light you are using (I assume LEDs)

            Ya idk i think people go way too hard on specialty boutique fertilizers for weed. I’ve grown a plant before that was a big, beautiful motherfucker- but it was with seeds from old weed and, guess what? It was a beautiful, useless baby boy. But I mean standard miracle grow worked fine for vegetative growth for it. I think it gets a bad reputation because people over dose their plants easily but usually with the single exception of what’s going on r/n im built different and good at dosing

            It’s doing better than it was when I posted. It’s just it kinda stagnated for a minute on this set of leaves, and one has tips that look like someone took a lighter to them, but it’s finally putting out the other leaf and it looks mostly normal

            I’ll dm a pic

              I don’t work with cannabis but I also agree this probably isn’t rhe granular fertilizer unless you severely overdosed and it sounds like you didn’t just by virtue of knowing what overdosing is. That stuff is made for slow release anyway.

              What you’re describing sounds like to me could be uhhh:

              -Some kinda mite or aphid? Really weird wavey growth could indicate that and they’re not easy to spot. That wouldn’t just fix itself with time though so if you’re chilling now then maybe not that???

              -Environment changed rapidly at some point around leaf development. Especially thinking about that burnt look you mentioned. If you had a heat wave roll in or you went from mostly overcast to mostly sunny weather that can happen? If you’re still worried see if you have any reflected light hitting it at an odd time you don’t usually check on the plant, like a window or reflective metal or car mirror or something. I’ve seen stranger things.

              Tbh if it’s fine now I’d only trip about it if the next set does the same thing. Sounds like you’re doing good and know what’s up 👍

                The only environmental change I can think of is there’s an LED on the portable fan i was using for wind stress (it’s inside) and I turned that on thinking more light is more better. Maybe that and the light being too close did it? Idk

                I just transplanted it. I think it’ll be fine as long as that doesn’t mess it up. Im thinking maybe the leaf thing is… maybe they sent me an old seed? It’s growing vigorously but also kinda janky, like its leaves basically have random numbers of lobes at this point

                I dunno. I should probably stop posting about it tho 🤫

              I like to grow like this for any plant, not just cannabis.

              I’ve had more delicious tomatoes pop off constantly growing like this. I try not to grow anything that needs constant attention to it’s nutrients and only add amendments and pest control as needed (and water of course)
