Could this be due to over watering as i needed to dampen the soil before transplant
If you transplanted... It's likely just shock give her a few days to recoverCould this be due to over watering as i needed to dampen the soil before transplant
Hey Chris, I know you said you were new to growing, just a friendly word of advice, PATIENCE! Most corrections or changes can take a few days or even a week to work out. I remember when first starting I would check my plant every hour, to see how much it grew LoL. Remember, its a weed, give it room to do what it does.Could this be due to over watering as i needed to dampen the soil before transplant
I'm gonna beat some who shall remain nameless ( @MIMedGrower ) to this. It's not a weed. But good advice.Hey Chris, I know you said you were new to growing, just a friendly word of advice, PATIENCE!

I do have a question? How do you determine how much and how often to water your plant? Do you lift it daily to see how much it weighs during veg to see how much water its drinking? Usually after transplant I will wait a few days before watering again to let everything get settled in checking the pot daily to see how much it weighs. If you give it a full watering noticing how heavy it feels, then check it everyday without watering. You should notice it getting lighter, if its still heavy, hold off on watering till it gets lighter. With that 2.5 gallon pot (10L) you are using, a water bottle like you get from a store (16oz./500ml), every other day should be plenty, though that can change as the plant gets bigger to every day. Since you are new to growing, and I would assume new to that strain, lifting the pot everyday to see how heavy it feels will be critical to learning how/when to water your plant.
Hope that helps! Your plant looks good, she just pouting a bit, getting used to her new home.
Fair enough!I'm gonna beat some who shall remain nameless ( @MIMedGrower ) to this. It's not a weed. But good advice.
A liter seems like a lot, for the size of your plant and for the size pot you were using (10L). Its better to do multiple light waters than 1 heavy, unless there is a point behind it. Like weeks 2, 4, and 6, I do a heavy water then let the plant dry 4-5 days, before getting back to normal watering, but I top dress my plants in soil. I'm new to this site, but I will upload a couple pics tomorrowI feed it about 1lite every 2-4 days, i lift the pot to see if its heavy and even use a soil moister tester, the leafs were twisted before transplant but i noticed after i heavy watered it, ive moved it in a new 15l pot and pinned a couple of branches back due to over lapping of leafs. I hope it sorts it self out.
Look forward to seeing them, ill leave it a few days and then light water them ill let you know how it goes.A liter seems like a lot, for the size of your plant and for the size pot you were using (10L).

New deformities
In my opinion I think your plant are showing signs of being overwatered. Ultimately the overwatering will lock out calcium and that will quickly cause imbalances within the plants. The curling of your leaf edges are a pretty good sign that it is a calcium issue.
What about the lines and thankyou
Its the slight curl upwards of only the serrated parts of the leaves that tipped me off. Its a really little thing, but it tells so much.Great tip on the curling down leaves! I learned that in a general gardening nutrient guide. Its missing from the cannabis specific guides. They only ever show the rust spots. Which is already an advanced calcium deficiency by then.

Books might say otherwise, but in my experience that is what I have seen.I thought droopy dark tips was calcium and edges was mag.
Back to the books for me!

So clue me in, whats the conspiracy with the timer?What is with these timers. @basscaptain you see this? Conspiracy I'm telling ya.
