NQ,
MG with added nutes is designed for more mature plants. Could the brown be a little reddish? Probably early nute (nitrogen) response. Many people use the MG for seed starts...and some make it and some don't. If you start getting tip necrosis...then you have full on nute burn. Cross your fingers. And don't flush.

trying to learn how to add pix im doubtfull its a nute burn because the tips of every leaf are healthy n green not curled and yea i learned to late it has nutes in it so iv watered it once then realised HOW to water n when it needed it again i flushed it 2x straight today added a little water no flush so the pix the leafs may appear a tad droopy but i assure you its just from todays watering. the brown is kinda a redish tone took like 5 pix let me figure out how to upload

P.S when should i tranny her into a bigger pot? n should it be 5 gallon? thanks in advance and any other tips more than welcome!!!! should i flush flush flush every watering to try rid of all nutes n add later?! Is she just getting used to and slowly taking up the 2 much nutes n over coming it by getting bigger n finally meeting the nutes avail to be ussed correctly? pic 3 seems leafs form really thin and take a few days to completly harden over solid whole time no odd colors or shape or wierdness about it besides seeing it form can you see the like texture to the leaf? any help tips advice anything appreciated thanks in advance from a very passionite young padawan learner!

NQ,
I think it looks fine. I don't even see what you described. That's why it's almost impossible to diagnose anything w/o a picture. But red stems can be an early sign of excess N and like I said, IF it shows tip burn, then think excess nutrients. I say that only because you're in MG soil.

I am super panicy n jumpy im pouring tons of love i didnt even know i could get into this baby! its like a like calling i feel I agree on the nutes thing wish ida known b4 i spent money on MG soil. Would you suggest flushing every time? or every other time? i watered it in the 11 days 4x 1 reg water 2 flush n lil water tonight wasnt sure if i should just continue flush flush so thought id light water n ask also bc i aint sure when she (hope) should come out of the solo cup didnt want to flush n have wait for soil dry to tranny n it be to late and it b root bound AHHHHH the madness i want my sexy baby be ok is all nervous nelly

Hi, I will repeat what I posted earlier today. Do not flush. MG has time release nutrients in it and each time you flush...you accomplish just the opposite. You release more nutrients into the soil. So establish a wet/dry cycle and just use water, You probably won't need to add nutrients until transplant...and if it goes into more MG soil...then not even then. Relax and learn to read your plant.
