hi, this is my first grow, i did alot of mistakes and i learnt alot, thanks for the members in here my plant still alive
this is 707 strian from Humboldt, 1 month and 1 day old, it's on 18/6 , 10 gallom pot, i had stretching problem because of the the light's then i moved the light closer and it's a bit better, first 2 leaves dried so i cuted them, now im seeing yellow colour on some leaves and i feel the main stim is not as thick as it should be, also the leaves are curly and not looking nice, my water ph is 6.4 , I'm using molasses and some other nutrients, idk what i should do to make it look perfect

What are you enviornmental conditions?
temps and rh?

The yellowing is an indicator that she could use some N

Unless you are feeding some form of beneficial bacteria then ditch the sugars as you are just feeding whatever bacteria is in the medium. Plants do NOT uptake sugar ever. Sugar only feeds bacteria in the root zone.

Are you letting the soil dry out so the cup is really light before watering again?

Well you hear a lot of stuff on the internet. It pays to be able to sort through the bro science and get to the real science.

Not sure the plant needs any more feed, it's pretty young. I would want to know what kind of soil that is and it may have plenty of feed. Over watering can cause these symptoms. Nitrogen deficiency starts at the bottom leaves and works up and looks different than this.

I don't see any NPK numbers on that stuff but it says it has nutrients and the plant is a baby so it's shouldn't require more feed. Over watering (not letting the soil dry enough) or pH would be the likely causes of the issues IMO.

When you water, water good, soak all the soil. Don't water again until the soil is dry and the pot feels light, if the plant starts to wilt you went a little too dry. This is key to good plant health in soil.

The pot in the picture sure isn't 10 gal. In the future, start seedlings in a smaller pot and transplant them later when they are bigger.

I'm sure it's 10 gallons, did you check other pic?

i started seeding in small cup, but because of the light issue the main stim became weak and the plant was falling, and it's 1 month old so i had to transplant it to support the main stim, i guess that worked tho
