Can some please tell me why some of the leaves are starting to turn a different color. Some of the newest growth and order. Haven't used any real nutrients other than rooting solution and what's in the miracle grow soil I am using.

I don't know for sure, but some of the Miracle Gro soils have a ton of nitrogen.

Hot soil. That is nutrient burn, always shows on the tips first.

Miracle Grow has always been a no no when growing cannabis.

Is there any way to fix this ? What would you do in this situation? Is it possible to swap soil without harming her? I'd be sad if I accidentally killed it because it is a great strain (Garlic Cookies).

I water every 4-5 days. I've only gave it one good watering. I've been conservative when watering because of how big the pot is compared to the plants.

You need to give it another good watering so the roots expand fully in the pot. It's probably just lacking the essentials Feed, oxygen.

Am I good to do that today after giving it water yesterday? Can you give me a measurement of how much to give them ?

I doubt things will get that bad but you will be stuck with watching them not be their happiest. You can flush them but then you'll probably have to feed them later.

The complaints I've seen online about Miracle Grow aren't really about how well or poorly it grows weed, but rather how the final product winds up tasting. Only relaying what I've heard others say.

If you went with Miracle Grow because of its ease of use and forgiveness with over/under watering, you might give a try with the OTC soil I got lucky finding that even DIY Center carries here in town. It's called Recipe 420 Bhang. I can attest firsthand it will carry a Durban Poison or Ice Cream Cake strain through 3 months of veg with nothing added and no deficiency, at least growing outdoors. Under LED there may be a need for supplemental CalMag because of how the plants use gobs of those nutes under artificial light.

I would be tempted to keep going , just give it water, and see if it gets worse. i had that happen to one of mine recently and when the next lot of growth came out there was no tip burn.

I would transplant it.. unless it is an auto.....try to shake loss as much of existing soil out as you can, even if you tear some of the roots. Roots do the same as stems do when you top them. 1 root will become 2. Win win IMO. You could even prune the roots. It will take a few days to recover but recover it will. Just cut off the outer 4 sides and bottom about leaving your self with a 4" x 4" cube and repot this with fresh soil.

I promise she can handle it and will respond in a positive fashion.

I'm sorry but I really don't think transplanting is a good idea at all. Why?

Try it with some room and a plant you don't mind losing.
