16 Days old, Lookin good? +REP

So RIU, how does she look for 16 days old? Some leaves are dryish and are browning on tips and in some spots. Stem also looks like it is kind of peeling a layer of "skin". Did a flush and she was a bit droopy but now she has perked up and is looking great all except some of those brown rustic spots that I can't seem to stop! Could this kill my plant? It is very slowly moving but I am still worried and am wonderdering if I could stick it out and keep on truckin', thanks guys enough talking lol.



Pics are as of 15 mins ago, aparently the flush didn't work because it is still slowly moving all I used was about 2 1/2 gallons of tap water.

Pray for her


Oh yeah, also topped it 2 days ago.

what are you using for lights? yes they look good so far.

"Skin" is good. Means the stem is getting tougher & stronger. Do you have a fan on her? How much & what kind of light are you using? Also I think you should transplant immediately to a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in the bottom or similar large container. Your plant needs a large root system to grow & oxygen to the roots. My plants took off when I transplanted them to 5 gallons. She doesn't need prayer, although it certainly won't hurt her, she just needs more room to take root. Best to top early if you want a nice dense bush so + rep. Don't worry about the spotting, the plant looks pretty healthy & transplanting & then feeding should end most of your spotting issues. Good luck!

3 26w 6500k cfls and 1 65w 2700k cfl probably going to add another 26w soon

If the plant is REALLY short and dense I'm not sure when to start flowering because it might be the right age, but not height.

Yeah, they look good!

The afghans (100% ind) that I have got were flowered at about 8" with about 5 nodes. They are now about 14-15" after 2.5 weeks flowering (major growth spurt lol)

Definately not mites, checked bottom of leaves.. Although.. I did find a TINY little red spider on the side of my stealth box but I searched high and low and it was just one. I am using 3 pc fans, 2 to put air in and 1 to take air out. But I just transplanted her in this container about 5 or 6 days ago. Should I run water through the soil I am transplanting her into because it could be the nutes in the soil.

Also there where 2 "shit" flies (Not sure the real name) the greenish looking ones. In the box today that I swatted out of the sky with my catlike reflexes and smashed with a piece of paper.. Could this be a problem? They are attracted to the light.

shameless self bump

it looks good i would add a few more lights and then start thinking of ferts in a week or so

Gonna add ferts next week, But I'm skeptical because it has those spots and I don't want to give it more ferts incase over fertilization is the problem

Only if ferts have to do with thoughs spots? since you haven't added any yet? well maybe go really easy on strength.. I just added small amount after 9 days and wow, looking healthy and size went nutz over night.

We'll I am on MG african violet and MG perlite that has nutes in it, So we will see.
