Why does the leafs look so different?
I'm a noob, so my thoughts shouldn't count for much, but if anything it looks hungry to me based on color. The very lowest growth that's already dying suggests something's off. Overwatering was my guess.Be careful not to over water and over fertilize when they are young.
I just went out and feed them ladies... thanks guys
Even a full year into my horticultural dabbling, I still fight the urge to keep the soil more saturated. Intellectually, I know that the vast majority advocate for wet-dry cycles - apparently with results to back it up - but I still have a visceral aversion to the idea. I also have the same odd aversion to using container weight to gauge water content. I've gotten to the point where I just let them dry out until some of them start getting droopy - about every 3-4 days right now - before I soak them again.The effect will look like they're increasingly hungry, so you feed more.... probably in a hurry because that seems like the pressing need... not letting the soil dry again... It can spiral like that very easily. Different factors all contributing to one problem.).

Yeah, I'd also found my way to that very same conclusion: Figure out when they droop and water 12 hours earlier. Problem is, I've lost what little confidence I may have ever had. For a reasonably bright guy, I'm just not taking to growing as smoothly as it seems everyone else does. I clearly can't trust my own judgement, so there's a part of me that wants to just watch the plants and let them do my thinking for me, at least to what puny degree I'm able to understand what they're telling me. I apparently don't have a green thumb; none of this is becoming even remotely instinctive yet. Not very confident that it ever will.If it takes 3.5 days to get there, then I'll try to feed/water 8 hours prior. (I know it changes as the plant grows into the container. But, after some growing in a particular soil, you know how it changes as the plant grows.).
It will come...I kinda noob. For me it’s ...I got the lights, tent, soil right, just watering ....over.....under is hard.i us a meter that is in the soil to roots and go by that..amazon ph, moist to dry and wet...seems to work..and I have auto flowers. That I repotted one to bigger and still have fair harvest...so keep it up, u will get the hang of it before long andYeah, I'd also found my way to that very same conclusion: Figure out when they droop and water 12 hours earlier.
