First time Mommy in panic mode :-)

:smoking:niiiice! ...OK, I don't think I see any other signs of hot soil related tip burn, and shouldn't be with this blend, so I'd say Ronin called it,... My only other concern would be what the soil pH is at; Roots is a good brand usually, but FF soils in general have been iffy for some time now, mostly Ocean Forest, but occasionally HF too; the pH in some of the bags I've tested have been in the low 5's! :nono: Many folks have come here with early pH issues, and a disturbing number of them are FF soil users,...others get okay bags :shrug:... the very best thing to get for testing fast, easy and accurately is a quality soil pH probe, like the Accurate 8 ->:phsoil: the long probe one here is the A8; forget the cheapie skinny probe models you see all over, they're lousy! Keeping the soil in the proper pH range will allow nutes to stay in absorbable forms for the plant; if it's get out of this range, some become unavailable and the plant starts to suffer deficiency issues and show symptoms of it... Monitoring the soil often, and pH adjusting your water (if needed) and nutes to the appropriate range goes a long way to prevention of such snafu's! I'll post a good chart here so you can see what I mean...

:biggrin: That said, it's time to start some dilute nutes! What do you have MM? Depending on the N-P-K#'s, a dilution point is made-- 1/4 strength, 1/2, etc.,... Starting off mild regardless is always wise! A variety of supplements are very helpful and effective... I recommend using a Silica supp', and humic/fulvic acid, soil microbe inoculants,.. you have seaweed already- :thumbsup: ..Ca-Mg is often needed, molasses is a old garden friend too (Ca, Mg, some K, little Fe, plus sugars for the soil herd to spike-out on, which in turn benefits the plant)... Something like Superthrive or Jump Start are excellent for stimulating rooting, treating shock, (vitamins, good hormones),... Some products combine several of these together; Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus is a great multi-product, even has some micronutrients in it too! :doh: --I know, the bottles can start to pile up! But most of these are key to preventing and/or fixing issue when they arise,... Your water source is very important too, what are you using? Key info for you on this: if it's tap/well sourced, is it's pH and hardness (mineral content, CaCO3 mainly)... A TDS or EC meter will tell you this,... it is at the core of pH management IMO! ...OK enough pontificating for now- :rofl: let us know about your nutes and any supp's you have, and we'll go from there,...
Oh- :biggrin: I see you're growing for meds for your daughter,.. have you checked out the medical section? I betting you have, but I'd get in contact with Root and Eekman, Duggy too-- as fine o' soul's as you can meet! And our Queen of the Autoflowers, Aunty Mossy, is an encyclopedia of medical knowledge as well,... :pass::bighug:
 
I'm not a doctor ( I don't play one on tv) but I have three friends with asthma the have a prescription to smoke because it relaxes and opens up the bronc tubes entering the lungs. Do some research on it.
 
My good friend has crohns and is helped massively by decent weed. He is in UK (illegal, even medically) and even his doctors condone his use of MJ to relieve crohns! :smoking:
Even though weed (mainly sativa dom) works like a miracle for my daughter and is now legal in Massachusetts, NO doctor she has been to will condone it. (primary, geneticist, gastro, neurologist, none of them...wtf?) They will write her thousands of dollars of scripts, but flatly refuse to listen when we mention weed. They dismiss us. They look at her like she is a drug seeker. As a mom this infuriates me. SO....I take it into my own hands and grow my daughters meds for her. It is not covered by insurance, and gets expensive (wow, seeds are 10 bucks!) but I would spend every dime I have for her. I am the one who would hold my child's hair back and support her head over the toilet and wipe her brow as she vomited until nothing came up and her body shook and she withered on the floor in pain all night. I used to get a blanket and sleep next to her on the bathroom floor. So you know what? Screw them. Weed is a miracle drug in my eyes, first hand. 20 years of watching her suffer is over because of cannabis. Even though it is now legal in MA we are going to Worcester in a few months to get her medical card, just to cover some bases.

Wow, thank you so much!
My soil probe reads 6.0-6.5 depending on where I put the probe in the pot. I have fox farms grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, and superthrive. (none of which I have used) I've been watering with about 1/2 gallon distilled water and liquid seaweed every 4-5 days or so. Temp always around 75 and humidity always around 45. Here she is today, day 15....

thank you. his asthma is so damn bad he is physically and mentally unable to inhale anything :-) going to try tincture and edibles.
 
thank you! I want to help my daughter, that is my main reason for growing. Also my brother has familial tremors, gona try to make some tincture for him (he has asthma and cant smoke) :)

You've come to the right place for learning, advice, help and friendship! Good luck on your grow for your daughter, will tag along to see how it goes!
