If you're growing in only sphagnum peat moss and perlite that could be your problem. Peat moss is highly acidic with a ph around 4. Adding lime will raise the ph but it can take a long time depending on how high the ph has to be raised and the type of lime you're using.

its not a problem, just dont overwater like he said he used to do. and stop trying to fix imaginary deficiencies. Its a baby and it cried, no need for a dr. or a certain diet, its just a finicky baby and will grow out of it.
If they die the most likely cause will be the stuff you did to fix the non existent problem. I like bogs method of KISS, keep it simple stupid, the plant can grow itself it doesnt need us fucking it all up.

Ok, I'll stop everything and watch. I believe this might be excessive care, maybe. I studied about lime reaction and experimented a lot, looks like it's well adjusted for 6.5. Now I'll wait for the soil to dry and then water thoroughly like suggested. I'll post the progression. Thanks for your attention.

Ok, I'll just leave it alone and water when the soil is dry. The spot today advanced a little in the ppp but the bj remains strong. I'll keep posting here what happens

Cookie Master is right. Don't do too much.
Cut off the 2 bottom leaves.
They're not healthy enough to assist the plant and cutting them will stimulate growth, which you want.

But there's gonna be a cola coming out of that intersection soon, isn't it? If i cut the leaf it won't come out? Or is it going to be (more) imparied from the cutting? Also, some people suggest that when a plant goes through problem when young it never turns into a good mother. What's your opinion on this? And thanks all of you for the help so far.

When you cut a plant it signals it to send out new growth. I know people are finicky about pruning cannabis but i think its beneficial. I started a seedling in a bonsai fashion twisting the stem around a pencil but eventually didn't like how it was taking. So I stuck it in a bed outside and it's now 6 feet tall and has 18 colas. Cannabis is resilient.

This is my third indoor cannabis grow. I cut the lowest flowering branches because on the first two grows they didn't produce once the light got crowded out by the tops.

They look great even with a fungus gnat infestation.

I should also clarify I am a minimalist when it comes to growing. Intervention only in the most drastic cases. One FIM per plant. Little or no LST.

Its gonna grow fast once it kicks in, those branches will be in the shade.

Hello,
Few days have passed and they completely stopped growing, the ppp looks like it's gonna die tomorrow or the day after, and the bj has its burning progressing slower. So, what should i do now? Plant new seeds in vermiculite and perlite then transplant to the hot soil? As I said, im just using perlite and peat, with lime to correct the ph. Is it too hot? I see lots os people starting seedss in this setup and never run into any problems. Maybe the soil is infected? Maybe a root problem? I dont know what else to do, please help me, i just have two more seeds of these genetics and i didnt want to lose them.

So, i watered today because the soil felt bone dry, the ph came out 6.3 and the EC 0.091. I dont think this is an overdose issue. What you guys figure?
