They are 41 days from when they first sprouted. About 15-17 inches tall. I have heard the biggest rookie mistake is overwatering so I use a soil moisture meter and decide by that so I would say every couple of days. And I have heard many mixed opinions about feeding so I haven't really fed them, any recommendations on food to purchase? Or any things I should change or discontinue? Thank you for the fast reply btw:)

I was thinking since the 3 most common micronutrient deficiencies is zinc, iron and manganese and they all pretty much work together and look like the same deficiencies could that be the problem?

If ur in veg get a veg nuet its gonna b higher in the nitrogen aspect of the npk scale I'd go to local indoor garden and buy a veg nuet and a bloom nuet and a trace element solution I know that earthjuice makes those exact things as well as Dyna gro both pretty good prod and not crazy expensive I believe that they are considered organic as well if u want something simpilar Humboldt nuets makes something called oneness its the only thing u use through veg and bloom and maybe get a trace element with it but the oneness is not an organic but I do think that it looks a little nitrogen deff so I'd if anything just go with a vegative nuet and that should bring the gals back around but I don't think they look to bad other than them maybe being a little hungry and once u feed em with a veg nuet and maybe a trace element they will come right around but I highly suggest the earth juice microblast for trace elements that is what I am use and have used there grow and bloom as well really easy going on the plants hope this will help point u in the right direction

Actually, your plants look pretty good. Lighting can distort photos, so it's impossible to tell if you have any deficiencies (unless the problem is severe, which isn't your issue IMO). You are pretty close to flipping to the flowering stage, so if you don't want to mess with veg nutes on your first grow, just re-pot your plants before you flip them to 12/12. The new soil will have the nutrients the plants need, so long as you use the right kind of organic soil, that is. You WILL need nutrients at least half way thru the flowering stage, though, so be prepared for that. (Great resource on eBay that sells Bloom nutes in small bottles for, like, $3.00 which will last for several grows!)

If you can take another picture of your plants that shows the whole set-up and the entire plant(s), with your lights off, it would be easier to diagnose. Otherwise, I really think they look good and you're doing a good job!

well ofc you get deficiancies if you dont feed your plants?
Want help ? Get nutrition for your plant or replant it. Its howing stress symptoms and pretty soon it will get nute locked and might take weeks to recover. I recommend Biobizz . If you want to use "any" fertilizer use one for tomatoes or potatoes.

peace

That was very helpful! Thank you, how many times would u recommend feeding and when is it more beneficial for them?

I use the Fox Farm trio and the FF feed schedule which I tweak to suit my need. If you want to keep it simple go to walmart and get a bag of organic tomato fert, sprinkle around your plants then water. It will have every thing you need to finish your grow, just dont expect huge swollen buds. You will get some nice bud thou.

I let my plants tell me when they are hungry. Every plant (even of the same strain) is different. In general, though, I do a diluted feed about every 3rd water. I've never been able to get all my girls on the same water and feed schedule, no matter how much I beg them. They just have minds of their own! LOL

I don't water as often as it sounds like you do, though. And I don't use a meter -- I look at and feel the soil. When it starts pulling away from the edge of the container slightly, and when it feels totally dry (not cool or damp) all the way to the middle knuckle or more, it's time to water. By that point, the leaves MIGHT be starting to droop a little, but they are happy dancers within a short time after watering. When I add nutes, I check the pH before watering and adjust as needed, and then I also check the run-off (more out of curiosity than anything; it isn't likely to take a dive or spike one way or the other, and I've never needed to flush at that point.)

I was raised on a farm, and I grew up on foods from our farm. My grandma knew how to work a garden better than any "expert", and most of what I know I learned from her (such as when to water). Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
