Be careful adding nutrients when they are young...most people wait until they get more established node and root structure.

Thank you when’s a good time to add nutes?

The soil should have plenty for a while...my answer would be "when they look like they need it"...and this means when they are not green and growing like they look now...many people lovingly kill their plants with too much water and nutes....let the soil feed them for a few weeks, keep posting weekly if you have doubts, and you can always start with nutes...90% of problems arise when you burn them (with nutes) or drown them....

I agree with Blew, as i am a newer grower. I have had one incredibly successful grow. And he hits the tail on the donkey. The big thing i learned was impatience becuase we are so excited to see them lovely plants grow we try to do to much. And im doing so it hurts the plant. They are incredibly resilient. Less is more when it comes to nutes and watering. The ladies will tell you what they need. Just pay attention to them. (Droppy leaves, or leave edges pointing up, or losing green in fan leaves, there are many things the plant will do to say hey look at me i need some love.

You do that, and just treat them plants right and they will love you for it.

Looking forward to your journal! Time to bring out the popcorn and watch. Im down for the ride.

GOODLUCK BUB!!

Okay I will keep that in mind

I'll weigh in too on the less is more when it comes to nutes. The trouble with nutes is that a little goes a long way and even a little can mess the plant up big time even kill it. And the other rule I see other's mention here is being patient. When some people talk about growing cannibis they make it sound like you just drop a few seeds on the ground and come back in two weeks to find gigantic frosty buds all set to roll up and blaze away. It takes time to get through a proper grow and unless you've got the time, equipment and freedom it usually takes 4-6 months for a good grow to happen.

Day 20
transplant to 5 gal smart pots & watered them.. hopefully I wasn’t to rough moving them.

 

[SgtBrix]

Looking good. They will have some transplant stress im sure. Just give them time to recover and they should bounce back. Just my 2 cents

Keep it up!! Goodluck!!

Any way I can help them recover? Or just let them recover with time?

 

[Widowx4]

Noticed one leaf was turning yellow... what does that mean? Guessing not good :/

 

[Widowx4]

Not sure if you’re still with me but I NEEDDD HELPPPP bottom leaves are turning yellow more & more each day & it’s spreading.... any suggesting on getting the coloring back? Should I tear off the yellow leaves?

 

[Widowx4]

Sooo I ran a soil test & these are the results very low on nitrogen( purple) & medium on phosphorus(blue)... pH (green) about 6.5 & potash(orange) is very low. I added nutes early & then did a transplant & watered. What are ways I can heal my plant I’ve been reading & it seem like I should’ve added blood Meal when I did the transplant? Not sure what to do

 

[TheDude1337]

Could be transplant stress. Are you still getting new growth?

No

How often are you watering? What is the pH of the water you are giving them? What is in the Black Gold Soil? Typically soil does not have vermiculite so you may not be getting proper drainage. I'll send a mention out to @Pennywise who will have more knowledge. I'm sure he can guide you in the right direction. I don't think it's a deficiency so until we know I would stop feeding it anything else.

 

[TheDude1337]

Did you give them nutrients when you watered them on day 20?

 

[Pennywise]

That soils looks dry and leaves are drooping so I'll say one issue is not enough water. 20-20-20 NPK sounds a little off. What I'm using is NPK 9-3-7 beginning to end. Go easy on the nutes you have now.
