Dude, calm down and quit fucking with it. It's not a baby, it's a weed. Seriously, step away. There is nothing you can do now but wait.

If it survives, you need to do some work to that cabinet if that's where you intend to flower. WAYYYYY to many light leaks. That is, unless you like seeds. I doubt you could get it dark enough to switch anyway. Go buy two rolls of weatherstipping, some caulk and some duct tape.

hello im a noob as well and this is my first post ever. im on my first grow and ive surprised myself and they are looking awesome. well here is my two cents. get a fan in there. not just the computer fan you have for ventilation but one blowing on the plants, it helps build strong stems and it will help perk your girls up. Also get the light as close as possible without burning them. the plant will naturally start heading for it. In a few hours they should perk up. Put your finger in the soild and see if its moist if it isnt water it a bit but if it is leave it alone. This is all i did with mine and it worked so let me know what you think. hopoe it works

Dude, seriously. If you keep fucking with it, you actually do more harm than good. I, like everyone else on here for sure, was gung ho at first that I was going to do everything right and went all out, worrying about every little thing.

Until your plant is at least 3 weeks old, it needs NOTHING but water. No nutes, fertilizer, ph up or down (6.9 should be perfect for you), or anything else.

Seriously, step away and let it be. There is zero you can do but wait for the thing to recover on it's own.

You're acting like we are killing it with like a shit load of stuff man! We have only given it water and lots of fresh air. But its showing signs of some deficiencies and probably will need nutes pretty soon BUT don't worry!!! because we wont give it any till they are at least 3 weeks!! (which is monday)
Any recommendations of nutes that would be alright that you could get at lowes or something? or are they all shit?

For what you need right now, the stuff you mentioned earlier will work fine. If week 4 starts Monday, hit it lightly with that. Water every four days as you have been with water that's been sat out for more than 24 hours.

The next time you're at Lowes look for a fertilizer that produces blooms, something like 15-30-15. And get some 5 gallon buckets, some 99c 20lb bags of topsoil, some sand, and some perlite.

Don't buy the expensive dirts. Use the above mentioned mix in equal parts from the get go next time.

Also whilst you're at Lowe's, pickup some bulbs in the 2300k spectrum. Preferrably ones that match your vegging ones, just in another color. (yellowish)

You're going to need these bulbs for when you go to flower, which is where you switch the lights to a 12-12 schedule. You've got about 2 weeks before you can do that.

You'll find out what sex they are about 2 weeks after that.



Now, like I said before. Do nothing to it for a week. Put it in the 5 gallon bucket, then hit it with the fertilizer you mentioned. (It's that one on the shelf next to the plant)

Everything after that just saved you 6 trips to Lowe's.

Can I get a +rep?

Ok they will be three weeks old tomorrow but still have just given them water. They have recovered from the transplant but some of the leaves are still looking kind of shitty. Tell me what you guys think!
Looking better. I don't know that there is a person on here that has grown, at least not in the first 5 times, a full plant without having some burned or browned leaves. I look at them almost as tree rings of future knowledge. I learned what to do and what not to do by the colors of my leaves.

You know you're losing 30% growth time just by turning those lights off, yes?

You'd have to veg for an extra 11-12 days to make up what you're losing by doing so.
