It looks like a lockout of some time… whats the ph? Did you feed them any different these last few days/weeks?

Need some history, 1st thing I would ask is what’s your run off numbers? A support ticket will give the community some info to go on :love_you_gesture: I’ll see if I can find a copy and paste support ticket

Hey i dnt check my ph only due to i have 4 plants going and only this one seems to have a issue n i havent had any run off debating if i shpuld flush it

I started this one at the same time same strain n everything the one struggling is in a different soil so im thinking it might need sum nutes possibly

I wouldn’t flush without knowing what the soil run off numbers are, could be hungry and flushing would make it worse, could be a salt accumulation in the root zone from lack of run off needing a flush, could be a PH issue and adjusting input PH would be better than a flush or the opposite and benefit from a flush. Lots of variables to consider :love_you_gesture:

Today is 5 weeks from wen i planted the seeds for those 2 the one that is hurting has organic 409 soil

I recommend always watering and feeding till about 20% runoff, everytime. This helps wash out heavy salts, unused nutrients and a host of other things.
Also it gives you runoff so you can check your numbers, ph, ppm, tds, ect…

I do have nutes i can feed them but last time i did that i allmost killed 2 plants since then i havent done that again these are my 3rd round of plants so still learning as i go

Yeah , definitely check PPM run off # if you’re only using tap water . Look at a good bloom nute to start feeding . Plant looks hungry :yum:
good luck

Start with half dosage. Also let your pots dry out good between feeding or watering a couple days. Purple stems would be norm.

Overwatering is due to frequency not amount. Soil likes a wet to Dry cycle and to run off on every water or feed day :love_you_gesture:

That makes sense even once in full flower do u let them dry or jus keep em wet

Let them dry, and if your starting your second week of flower, nutes would be a good idea. Also, even if your water report is showing “clean” water, still make sure your input feed/water/nutes is ph’d to 6.5 before giving it to your plants. And, like @kellydans said, start with a half recommended dose to you can better tell how they will respond :blush:
Good luck. You got this👍

Also… 1 other thing I noticed. Since from now on, you’ll be watering/feeding to runoff, you want to get those fabric pots elevated so they won’t sit in thier own run off



These 2 pictures were from a month ago, but notice how each 1 is raised by that “pot elevator” and off the bottom of thier pans.

3 weeks later😊
