3 Week Old Plant - Yellowing Bottom Leaves

How close is your light, how much nutes are you using when and how much water was given to them

I'm here to grow the best meds that the soil can offer......

 

Your plant looks overwatered to me. A nitrogen deficinecy in flower is typical in later stages. Early stages is a sign of not feeding enough nitrogen.

Those twisting leaves are a sign of two possibilities:

Over water or plants inability to uptake nutes.

 

Why did you flower so early?

 

Put your finger into the soil. When the top inch to two inches is dry, its time to water.

Less is more in cannabis growing.

New growers love their plants too much and they die. Know that weed in your front yard you do nothing to and it thrives? that how cannabis is.

Give it food when its hungry, water when its thirsty. Train it when you need to, deal with pests as they come but other than that, leave it alone.

Too much love killz.

 

You can flower a clone that age, you need to know what youre doing though to get any kind of good amount.
 
I flower 1 week after planting rooted cuttings and get good yields but my methods are hydro.
 
What youre doing is soil, easier imo, i wouldnt use nutes yet, you more than likely got food in the medium. Its not all about nutes. Oxygen is a big thing dont ever let your soil be soking all the time leave them to dry out some. 

 

Great post but i think op is a bit early for this, you have just twisted his brain   sorry if i have you mistaken and you do know about this op.

 

Yes... very wrong. Your plant won't flower until its ready. A lot of people do 12/12 lighting from seed and the plant will still vegetate. It just won't veg for very long because of the light cycle, but don't let anyone fool you. You cannot skip that step.

As for your yellowing of the leaves, I agree with Pokesmot. Except he didn't elaborate enough on the inability to absorb the nutes. Have you been testing your ph? Are you balancing the water intake? I bet this is part of your issue and maybe you are over/ under watering. When you water, you should water just until you get a little runoff... but you shouldn't water again until the medium is DRY. For a plant your size you should be watering once every 3-4 days. Take a finger and push it down into the soil 2". If its moist. leave it alone for another day. Allowing your medium to dry allows it to aerate and the roots get to breath. If you're watering this way to begin with, I would look at your ph.

 

I never assume anything about anyone.

Most people google what they dont understand. Might be over his head but youll never learn if you dont have questions.

 

I agree with you there.
 
I remember when i first got into growing and was tangled up in all this info. It wasnt a nice start for me when really the best thing i could of done was use the simplistic approach.
I do apologise for assuming,   i just had this picture in my head of op at the screen like  

 

That guys partly correct.

You veg 18 hours light 6 hours darkness or 24 light no darkness as long as you want to veg.

Whenever youre ready for flower, then you go 12/12.

I grow huge plants so the longer you veg m bigger the plant. You want a small tiny ass plant, then do what that guy said. But its not written in stone.

 

This op, chances are you will end up with a tiny ass plant.

 

She is kind of correct but the terminology is what's confusing you. doing a 24/7 light schedule for a week doesn't make the plant ready for flowering. Doing any lighting for a week isn't going to prepare it for flowering. if you're looking to get a small plant, you can just do a 12/12 light schedule from the very start. But, no misconceptions, you CAN NOT skip vegetive growth. Your plant will vegetate on its own terms and flower when its ready. If you're starting with a 12/12 cycle then you won't need to worry about any of this.

Basically, doing 12/12 from start will, without a doubt, grow its entire life at the very minimum height possible for that strain.

However,

You have a 3' space... your plants CAN triple in size during flowering, but not always.. I would give her an 18/6 light cycle, wait until she's like 10" tall and then switch the cycle to 12/12, personally. Don't go by time, go by height. Every strain is different. Its hard for me to say how long to do it for, just do it until she's tall enough for your room... about 10". Then switch your light cycle.

It might be a good idea for you to look into topping and LST. This will create a short, bushy effect and will maximize yeild with very little height.

 

Just note... you'll most likely yield 4-5 dry grams for the plant size you're looking for, unless you veg it taller to 10" like i mentioned. It might not be worth your while.... unless this is just experimental! Go for it!

 

People re-vegetate even after their plants go into flowering and you're no where near flowering. So I would say it would be just fine if you switched it to 18/6... You can even do 24/0 if you want... just as long as the dark cycle is less than 12 hours.

You got a pH meter, but did you get a pH kit? A meter is just going to read the pH, what happens when you find out its too acidic or too alkaline? You'll need a kit to adjust the water you're feeding her so you can adjust the soil pH. You'll see a big difference in growth by adjusting the pH to spec, if its off that is.
