Hello there, first of all I would love to apologize if this is anyhow breaking the websites rules or it has been posted already, yet I'm desperate for your help.
I'm growing Jack Herer at the moment ( and this is the first time I'm growing indoors-PC Grow Box : 3 CFL lightbulbs, dirt which I have used for different flowers and is really good for every other plants, 2 pc coolers and so on, I'll post pictures later).
Now my Jack is 3 weeks old (3 weeks of VEG STATE) and 1 day of Flowering. It's not tall at all and it has a lot of beautiful leaves.
Bottom side of the plant, there's 2 leaves which are COMPLETELY YELLOW and almost dry at the moment, that concerns me a lot, please help me somehow, I don't want my Jack to suffer (die).

No Fertilizers used, no chemicals whatsoever and since I'm in Europe - Georgia, I don't think I will be able to get "Marijuana Fertilizers" , so please anyhow help

get some tomato fertilizer and use that. Sounds like you just need some food. Pics would help to isolate a specific deficiency, but if you have given nothing, you will need it all anyway.

Depends on what you can find, just follow the label. I would start at about half of what the fert tells you at first. Since you have already started flowing, you do not need to much Nitogen (N) and the fert will have a NPK rating that looks like 4-10-10 the first number is the N, you want that to be a little lower that the others.

I like a feed,water, water schedule, so only give nutes every third watering if you ware letting the soil dry out. You can also do a feed, water schedule or every other watering. This will depend on the strain.

Start slow on the nutes, it is way easier to screw things up by over doing it than it is by giving it too little. Don't expect things to change overnight, and be patient.

8-24-24 will work. just start at half, or even 1/3 of what is on the package for the first feeding, then increase for subsequent feedings (assuming you do not see the leaf tips begin to turn brown).

It looks fine. Not ready to be flipped yet (not mature) though you can change lights, you should at least wait until the leaves begin to come in on alternating sides, that is an indicator of sexual maturity of the plant. I said before, go light on the nutrients at first and see how your plant reacts. Would have been good to see the leaves that fell off, it is pretty common for your first leaves(cotyledon) to yellow and die off.

hey man I just have grown out that jack my last three grows.
she's a picky one from my experience. But I was using clones off a mom. So I only had one pheno to work with.
and even though she was picky was a fucking tric factory.
if your cloning it was deffinitly a fun plant to work with there's alot of phenos for it so its cool if your trying to dial your grow. That way when you know exactly what you got. And all that shit.
but

you should find some source of food for her. Something's going on with your lower set of leaves. Idk what I've had a few drinks and can't think ha


did you just water In that last picture

couple of weeks ago I had to remove bottom 2 leaves as they were completely yellow and dry. 6 days ago I fed my little lovely jack with little dose of NPK 10-16-14.

Its not a clone, its feminized seed
