This is Day 7 of Veg. Freebie OG Kush Fem seed from Royal Queen Seeds.
Pot- 3g fabric
Medium- 50/50 FFOF/FFOF
Light- Vivosun areolight 100w with built in fan . 18 inches from canopy 60%
RH - 58-65%
Temp- Lights on 77-83f , Lights off 70-75f
Food- recharge twice last couple weeks , grow big once very light dose, Cal mag one light lose. Ppm 450 going in for each feeding .
Concern is with the neon green patterns in new growth and dry wrinkled looking leaves.

Most likely your watering scheduele. How often do you water? Looks like over watering to me. Whats your run off ph? And ppm?
Every 3-5 day . I wait till the first inch is completely dry then water
I haven't looked at ppm run off but I can do a run off test once the soils dry enough. Maybe I shouldn't of gave grow big. And backed off on the recharge. I just thought the plant was mature enough for lighter doses. By that I mean no more than 450ppm going in and I've only fed once lightly with grow big and once with calmag .

Doesn’t look bad. OG kush type plants are finicky so it might just be finding what works best. How long has it been in that pot?, I’ve had OG stuff lag for a solid week after transplanting.

They're planted in too big of a pot and you're keeping the light too close starting out. Leaves look matt so they're not transpiring properly. Back off with the light and let the plants recover and increase intensity as the plant grows. If you only feed/water every 3-5 days you will create hotspots in the medium by letting it dry out too much between waterings.

You shouldn't have needed to add any nutrient yet. Plant is still small and haven't used much of the plant food present in the medium. Adding "Calmag" early on on a already amended medium(buffered with Ca/Mg) is not in any way recommended. I would save that for mid flower when it starts to run out of the medium instead.

Good luck!

Your plant is over 4 weeks out of the ground, yet you claim it's on day 7 of veg.........how do you figure?
Didn't sprout it's first fan leaves till a little over a week ago . I've explained in my other post the slow growth and how I had a poor set up to begin with . But yeah it's only just now starting week 2 of veg . First couple of weeks had harsher conditions then it does now with the Vivosun SGS and controls.

Some people consider it veg soon as it's first pair of true leaves emerges and some people wait for the fan leaves. I've heard OG Kush is finicky with light and nutes so I waited till I had seen big and mature fan leaves on the third node then deemed it veg week one uped lighting and lowered RH.

Thankyou this was the response Ive been looking for. As for the transplant should I base this off root mass or bio mass of the leaves?

Weird I’ve always thought day 1 of veg was the day they break ground. Though I dont count veg days at all anyway

Yeah it's really a preference thing with cannabis . Yet in a horticultural text book u would read that veg starts around the third node or fan leafs. This is because light level requirements change going from seedling to veg and so does the transpiration rate of the leaves .
