just use the bloom B at 8-10 ml per gallon and the calmag at 2.5 ml for the next couple waterings.. don’t skip feeding, feed every watering..

these issues look to be only on one plant?

Hey this is my first grow I have 3 seedlings I’m using happy frog with no extra additives there on day 8 can anyone help me with them they seem to not be doing the best
They are fine. I might suggest a heating pad on low under them if there not kept "warm". But they are fine. U won't see explosive growth to like the first 2 weeks of flower, it will grow fast in veg but not like it will once u flip to 12 12

There in week 7 gave them a feed today how are they looking?
There are still some white pistols. They likely have about 1-3 weeks left. But its about time to start checking out the trichomes to look how mature they are becoming. Some plants finish sooner than others. But at this stage you are going to NEED some plant Yo Yos if you have a way to use them. That or some type of support stakes that wont damage your root ball. Those buds are already leaning and if you dont support them they could eventually break the branch where it connects to the base stem. It happened on one of my first grows and I just want to help you avoid it cause its heartbreaking.

The bud weight can really creep up on you gradually without you noticing. But if you grab the tip of the leaf (away from the trichomes so you dont ruin them or get your hands sticky) and gently pull away from the direction that bud is leaning. How far will it go in the other way easily without resistance. If its more than a little then it has already started to sag under the flower weight and is already putting stress on the branch. Eyeballing yours there id guess that you have a few days to maybe a little over a week before you *could* experience a branch break.

Here is an example of what I mean. This picture is from a few days ago (midweek between my 5th flowering week).
The lines you see in the picture are connected to Yo Yo hangers to support the bud weight and help lift the branches so they dont fall below the canopy or possibly break the branch.

One of the plants is flopping everywhere I’m starting to get scared about it breaking I want to tie them up but I have to take them out to feed them so I don’t know how I could keep them tied one of my plants looks like it’s way fatter and it might finish before the rest is there a way to check the trichromes without a jewelers loop?

Some people say you can check the flowers maturity based on the number of white pistols you have left. I’ve found that to not be accurate at all. I would strongly recommend getting something that attaches to your phone camera if possible; I got mine for less than $20 ( APEXEL Phone Microscope, Pocket Microscope iPhone Camera Lens Attachment Microscope 100X Microscopes With Universal Clip Fits for All Smartphone Portable Micro Loupe Lens for Kids Adults Trichome Coin https://a.co/d/5ndlmRf ) .

Because you are going to have a hard time focusing the lens with a steady hand whilst also putting you head up close to the plant and avoiding hitting the buds with the lens. And its way easier just to take a picture and review it.

Its something you should avoid as much as possible. The reason weed is sticky is because of the trichomes on it. So if your hands are sticky its because you have trichomes on them. And you likely burst the heads/bulbs of the trichomes; Which is where all the CBD and THC is located. Your plant will still have plenty of other trichomes. But there isn’t any reason to waste any.

I’m trying to think of a solution for you on the branches. The best I can think of so far is to get a plant cage that fits around your plant and is taller than it so that you could move it with the plant. Youd likely want someone’s help when moving it though or would just need to be extra careful.
