So I looked in on my girl and one of her leafs is pointing down. Planet looks fine otherwise, I think-
Sorry about the photo but if you open it and zoom in you can see it's got one pointing downward.
Anyone think the light is too blue for her?

Looks like the beginning of a potassium deficiency or nute lockout. What are you growing in? Are the nutes organic or synthetic? How much are you watering, how often?

isn't the brown spots calcium deficiency?
either way i'd put my vote on lockout.
plus leaves look a bit puffy and sagging (like my wife) so maybe to much water?

Nutrients are organic.
I water when the top inch of soil is dry.
I'm going to mix up a fresh batch of feed/water with nutrients. I use Grow from Advanced nutes with Perfect PH tech. And I feed about a quarter cup because she's small right now.
I have a pump and drip setup but I don't use it yet because the plant is so small.
Idk I'm not really happy with my setup. I feel like I should be doing more but not sure what that is-
I would like to visit someone else's grow to see what I should be doing but I don't know anyone. So I come to these sites and watch videos at others, but those make me envious lol
Well thanks for the help fellas.
If anyone needs ostomy help lmk,I have plenty of supplies. Good health and good luck.

One would think that it would be mandatory to give the basic information when asking a question. But no. Each thread posted requires some member to directly ask for the basic information needed for a response.

That is to be expected because there's newer folks who don't know what information is relevant. So no big deal, folks with a little more experience will ask their questions to get the info they need to try and help them with what's going on.

Thread was started in August, I'm sure that plant has been harvested by now but if anybody wants to know some clear indicators, it's showing signs of elevated unsafe levels of nitrogen (clawed leaves) and potassium (burnt edges), as well as a general iron lockout as a result that you can see with the chlorosis in the tops.

If you wind up with a plant looking like this, back off your nutes and do a heavy watering to dilute the concentration. It will be a big help if you use an EC pen as you are diluting so you know when to stop (when levels look good). Whenever you are putting water into your soul, you want to work slowly with small pouring increments and letting the water settle before pouring a little bit more. Water coming out should be just a drip. If it's flowing, you're working too fast. If you water this way and allow the soil to dry properly between waterings you will probably eliminate about 75% of the problems most new growers run into.

You missed the point of the first sentence. Give them a form or guide to fill out before asking.

Not a bad idea for someone to come up with a template for sure. It would speed up the response time getting an answer.

Yes. Kind of amazing however long it's been since this site has been operational for nobody to think about it. That speed up could mean the difference between lost harvest and salvaged harvest in some cases.

Well the same questions are being asked consistently, and it usually boils back to normal testing not being done to monitor nutrient build up, as well as too much nutrients being fed because they are not using the correct way to monitor the amount of feed they are providing. They get nutrients and think the plants need more when really they do better with a little less than most nutrient labels, unless the brand of nutrients is specified for cannabis, but even then it boils back to them not check ph, with ppms, with the EC, as well probably not even checking the water temperature. I try to always just to give the basics for people to follow. I feel like there should be a complete grow manual for each substrate, posted at the bottom of the forum so they could just click on that, then tie all the pictures of problem with solutions in those manuals

I like your idea. But I dont think anyone will take it seriously here and do something. They are more likely to hunt down the wrong people for breaking the right rules while allowing some of the ugliest behaviors known to plague modern brains, like prejudice, herd mentality, conformism, name calling, false accusations, and all the other regular stuff we see in these businesses that are advertising/marketing platforms with a forum feature.

You probably wrote the manual several times now. Spoon feeding people education who are incapable of taking initiative to read and educate themselves...Where do you think that attitude comes from? And is it something to be rewarded? Why not just provide them with a link to a free grow guide or manual. There must be hundreds of guides to choose from. I tell them to study gardening 101 or horticulture 101. The rest is on them. I can say with confidence there is better things to do with your time. You seem like a nice intelligent person. It's a shame really that you let them parasite off of you so regularly. You deserve better.

there is nowhere to go man. I've been watching looking roaming for years. Just mindless zombie growers being lead from product to product, sponsor to sponsor, being brainwashed into what to buy, chasing hype believing whatever claims and stories. They actually beg for hemp hybrids and get excited about less potent weed while being trapped in a repeat purchase cycle, cash cows. Never thinking, never questioning, and never really knowing anything besides what's been manufactured to keep them dumb growing mediocre weed and spending. Cannabis culture is dead. That's not cannabis culture at all dude.

And as a new grower I feel this is the best time for growing pot. Control of environments different styles of growing and LED lights have made this something that a new grower can learn quickly. Like everyone I had problems starting to grow but quickly learned from my mistakes.
Not sure why you think anyone would actually think cannabis culture is dead. No one elected you a leader and the noise from your posts leads me to believe you got an ork sized axe to grind.

Thanks for the grunts from the cheap seats, but the self consoltation is not having the effect you hope for.

Its interesting/strange that you can feel time and divide it into best and worse. Feel free to ignore and avoid the points I laid out and try attacking the person. Very original.

I don't understand what you're talking about. What are your complaints? I have some comments as well, but I'm offering solutions. What are your solutions to your problems?
