Hey everyone day 17 update.
Transplanted day 14 into a bigger cup. Followed a youtube vid, just loosened up the outside of the soil a bit, and held the bottom of the stem, tipped the cup up and tapped the cup lightly until the root ball soil n all came out. Then planted in a crater like hole in the new cup and filled the sides in with more soil from the bag. Stamped it all down lightly. Since then I've been watering when the cup gets light, one good water a day pretty much.
First feed of Calimagic day 15, used a 1/4 of the recommended dose, mixed with tap water that was left out for a day.
What I'm gonna do is 4 waters regular water, then one water nutes...and go like that, just keep an eye on her.
Couple pics I just took, how's she looking? Your thoughts?

Question when's the best time to transplant her to the finishing pot? Day 18 now, and I transplanted to this cup on day 14.
The finishing pot is what the cup is sitting on in the pics.
Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, followed everyone's advice and transplanted just then, start of day 20.
Had a little more trouble this time, had to cut the cup and rip it around. Also I put way too much soil in the pot originally, and some of the lower leaves were covered in dirt. Fooled around a bit though got all of the dirt from the leaves and took some soil out, then I leveled it all and watered around where the roots are. Hope its all good!
Few pics please let me know what you think, thanks.

pH meters weird too. Could not leaving tap water out long enough before watering do this? Last few waters it was an hour or less, was a lot longer at first.
Pics notice the very bottom leaf in both pics. Green leaf in front of it. Thanks for any helpful info everyone, kinda worried.

More info hope someone can help or tell me if this is serious or not. It started with just the end half's of my first single bladed leaves, and it looks to be rising to me. Now the affected leaves are all yellow, can't see the veins even, at all.
My soil pH and water pH is about 7.5, any tips on lowering this? Can't get around today so hoping there's something around the house.
Thanks a lot!
Oh and I think I first noticed the yellow coming in after my first feeding, calimagic. Not entirely sure though.

Nice growww seems very interesting subbed. Pretty nice setup transition mann! Try to get fans up and running in there to vent out hot air from your lights, im using 4 23w 6400k CFL bulbs on my current setup, I too had an awesome grow room transition. Mind checking out my grow if uve got the time for it? Input is greatly appreciated!!!
Goodluck on your grow mann!!!

Also have yellow or burnt tips, so overfeeding? But she needs nitrogen, lost here on what to do?
I'll throw this here as a refresher:
Strain: Black Indica crooking
Medium: Promix Veg and herb mix
Age now: 22 days, into the 23rd
Lights: cfl 23w 100weq 6500k all three
Light cycle, 24hrs light, was on 18\6 for first 2 weeks or so.
×im getting more lightsx
After transplanting twice, last transplant into this pot early day 21.
After feeding with calimagic twice, not at all until day 14.
Deficiencies described
Yellowing on leaves starting with the first, single bladed leaves and slowly moving up. 2
3 bladed leaves are now fully yellow, drying up. One bladed leaves are fully yellow and dry and curling upwards. Growth seems to be slowed or slacked.

Sounds like your new soil is too hot and ph that low your plant can't take in the nutes.A flush might help correct it

Great looking plant firstly I would recommend topping as its not very risky and the result is that you'll have more of a bush rather than a tree which means more colas will receive more light - bigger and better developing buds
So was your soil ph at 4.8 and you have now got it up to 7.5? A flush might be something worth considering as Todosh said, make sure you flush with ph balanced water that you have left out for atleast 24 hours if its from the tap. Household vinegar will lower your water ph but use very sparingly, I have used vinegar before and it seemed to work fine for me although some advise against it. If the ph of your water or soil is too high or too low you may experience nutrient lock out so you really want to look at balancing that ph. That being said she looks good and strong

Just plucked the single bladed leaves, came off easily so. Also just added an oscillating fan and got my girl took out of her box for now so she gets some good air! First time putting a fan to her.
Thanks for the tips guys I will keep flushing on my mind, just can't right yet because I can't pH balance or anything yet.
