These plants are about a month old so I know it may be a bit early, it's my first grow and I was a bit curious of things so I wanted to try some stuff I did research on, I know it's not the best but does anyone have a clue how theses will turn out ? They get great sunlight and the temps are nice and warm/hot. The plants are all feminized to my knowledge so I won't have to worry about males. Here's just a couple, tell me what you guys think and how they may turn out through their life. I'm also growing these organically because I don't have enough money got the supplies and resources. I baught some peatmoss and perlite potting soil and zho root inoculant image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

I've probably watered them 4 times since I planted, the rain seems to be keeping them well for the most part, it's rained 3 times since I planted and the soil is nice and moist but not to wet or anything, I try not to over water them and I know forsure they get good direct sunlight and indirect sunlight because of the open sky I have for the spot. As for as organic growing how will these turn out? I know nutrients and chemicals help but I want to start off natrual instead of use stuff I have no clue about using. Definitely a noob here

Soil looks really wet...you have drainage in the pots?
Are you going to transplant them into bigger containers?
there is no way to tell how they will turn out 6 months from now....
You said you're feeding organic , but didn't say what you use....
If you don't feed in flower, you're going to have a bad time....

Ok, I have looked at your snap shots and have noticed that you have white spots
that are appearing on the leaves. This looks like the start of a Calcium/Magnesium
issue; do you have these two macros in your potting soil? Look into the spots and
make sure that there is nothing "nibblin" on your baby's fan leafs....

Will do, should I use Epsom salts?

There are still organic fertilizers. Growing organic doesn't mean denying the plant what it needs because you don't have funds, haha. Organic just means you're not using synthetic chemicals and you are using nature (good organisms, bacteria etc.) to create a healthy environment for your plant. Using nutrients doesn't necessarily mean you're using chemicals. If you're low on funds, you can recycle many foods into compost and make fertilizer for your grow.

You say the temp is warm/hot? ...How hot? Too hot is not good. Plants don't work well past 85 degrees. If they get heat-stressed enough, they could hermie, feminized or not. Feminized seeds don't give female 100% of the time.

If the soil is retaining water too well (the plant doesn't really look over watered but), you may want to consider adding more perlite to the soil. It's not about how much it rains... it's about how fast the water gets dry/used in the pot. A plant that small doesn't drink a lot so, it doesn't need a lot of water... yet. In my experience, I like soil that dries fast (every 3-5 days) so I can control how much water it's getting. You can always add water, but once it's in there, you can't get it out.

The hanger will work for now but, as the plant gets bigger it will pull those hangers out easily as it tries to straighten so, you may want to drill holes in the side of the pot and use zip ties instead.

If you want good results, you are going to have to feed the plant something. I usually start feeding 2-3 weeks after sprout (about where you are now?). It looks like the lower leaves are starting to cannibalize themselves meaning, the plants hungry.

All that said, the plant looks ok right now but, trying to determine what's going to happen over the next few months is impossible. The plant is young and doesn't need much care. That will change. No offense intended but, it seems you're a little confused about some definitions. For your first grow, keep it simple. Don't worry about the advanced techniques and just focus on getting the plants through a life-cycle. See what they do so you can learn and familiarize yourself with the process. In my opinion, once you get through a grow, it's easier to work on the techniques in the future.

Thank you for the advice, I'll make some modifications and feed them properly with nutrients
