I have accepted the fact that my bottom leaves have yellow spots on them and will most likely not make it but I'm worried about the other growth. My new growth looks great but I'm afraid it will curl and become sick like the rest of the plant. How do you think it looks so far and any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sometime the early lower leaves can become a bit distorted, maybe coming in contact with a virus and is just dealing with it.

It's not unusual to see this type of thing.

The upper part of the plant looks ok .

Your plant should just kick through this weird leaf bit and before you know your plant will have grown up and that leaf will be long forgotten.

Just make sure you Ph your nutrients when watering, unless stated otherwise by your (organicnutrients producer and measure to the manufacturers instructions.

If you should happen to see a paling between the leaf veins at week 3-4 then a bit of calmag will sort em out.

Internodes are nice and tight, so they are getting plenty of light.

Soil looks nice and airy with added perlite so will be a nice and friable structure , which looks to have a nice organic content.

Top of the soil looks like it is starting to dry, not a bad thing, cannabis likes a wet and dry cycle, good for getting oxygen to the roots.

The curl may have been from when your light was too close. The new growth isn't curling from what I can see.

But me eyes aren't the best anymore, so see what others think.

PS: did you bump the HID light up to 18" ?
 
PS again: have you started using your moisture meter yet ?
Sorry just got home but I have moved my light up and I have begun using the meter I just don't wanna poke the roots but I think the new growth should be okay.

Good to hear, sit back and relax and see what happens.

Testing down to the root ball level is how most everyone does it, as i mentioned just don't go thrashing around right next to or directly under the plant.

And many think any holes that are left behind by the probes are actually good for the soil and roots....

Have fun growing :cheers:

I wanna show you one thing before I hit the hay.

I need to relax but.... The tips of these new leaves seem to be showing discoloration a bit or they will turn green when they are ready and I'm overreacting.

Nope, not going to turn green from yellow on new growth.

Good eye catching it so soon.

Ok, a very old rule of thumb for diagnosis of problems on these weeds that does not always apply anymore due to new strains and autos was : problems with new growth / top half of plants was generally an excess of something or a burn.

Problems with old growth / lower half of plant was generally a deficiency..... that wasn't always accurate then but that was a very good starting point. And as I said it is a bit less accurate now with newer strains and nutes and mediums.

My guess since you just gave a first feed would be an excess of something. Is this the same plant you gave 3 quarts to on her first feed ?

Don't worry, she won't die from this anytime soon.... so, since I have no experience with your nutes go back to your last thread and see who it was who mentioned that they used the same brand and ask their advice on how strong to mix and how much to give and run this past them.

Don't be surprised if they ask for pH first, or if they suggest running some water through if you did mix strong and also gave too much.

I can't remember who it was as I have a great memory, but it's short.....

My guess is, you'll want to flush real good once shes dried up good, wait a watering, then come back at half strength nutes.
 
Gibs-- we need some info: soil brand, if you've fertilized, type of lighting, and the T and RH for starters,... I see possible heat stress, in the slightly rolled edges, which could also be causing the leaf distortion, though Arty is right, many things can cause that (forget viral here),... the tip yelllowing hints at something being a bit too rich, or off pH,...
