I like to start off by saying that the seeds / genetics are unknown. They've been growing for a little over two weeks, a over the weekend they were transplanted into the bigger pots. I'm looking to get advice on light placement, if they look healthy, and possible prediction of sex. I need advice of what measures i should take for bugs given my space, etc. Here's a gander at them. I've also got a question what color temperature i should veg with right now I've got a mixture of k in my lights. The grow room stys at 68-74 degree's. I use filtered water. Hopeful you guys can help and give me good feedback!

Also second to last, 5th to last, 6th to last, and second on the pictures. Are the problem plants the 2nd to last the bottom leafs looks yellow and the tip of the leaf on the left looks yellow. on the second and 5th to last they appear to have to brown dots i was wondering if anyone could diagnose that. Also what nutrients should I use. And when would be a god time to introduce the low stress method?

Well i would say by the way they look and by the brown/spots... theyre ready for some nutes now, 1/4 dose or so first time you do it. I highly recommend topping I was really scared my first time but having 4 huge colas on one plant right now is really nice Anyway, I recommend you get some nutes going... at this stage they need more nitrogen than anything else, and an even amount of P and K, maybe a little more K. Shop around and look at NPK ratios like 2-1-1 or 3-1-2 or anywhere in between, and makes sure it has micronutrients in it.

Edit: I just reglanced the pics and on pic 4 you can definitely tell its nute time. notice the bottom most leaf tip is curling down a little and it is darker/bluish colored? You need some phosphorus and magnesium bro!

Thanks for clearing that up man! I had some strange leaf deficiency on one of them today, took some cuttings and believe it to be a magnesium deficiency. I should be keeping the NPK with nutes that low? Got two more reflectors / bulbs with a rating of 5000 k. Will get back with pictures shortly.

Edit: By the way my PH levels are about 7. If that helps.

How often do you give your plants nutrients?

So new update, I've got 2 more lights. My plants have a deficiency (more then likely magnesium). I clipped some of the leaf. This deficiency also seems to be apparent in 2 of the plants. It would be much appreciated if i could get a diagnosis and a solution for what I need. Stay green

Also note I took them off their cycle for a few seconds for it is why i suspect the reason for the small one drooping.

Well I'm in need of some major advice. ever since I sprayed the epsom salts white dots appeared if someone could clarify that it is or isn't in-fact powdery mildew that would be helpful. Also some pest seems to be eating one of them. I have the fan on them now but I saw tiny bugs hopping around the bottom. I need advice as to should I kill the plant or what should be done?? Also they've outgrown their pot and the only plant that wasn't showing signs of problems now is. Should I water them tonight or try to repot them tomorrow? Are they even worth repotting is what it all comes down to. I need some worthwhile advice, i'm in a tough situation any advice would be much appreciated.

Update, so got rid of the rubbermaid, and changed the setup a bit. Have run into some problems with the only plant that didn't have a problem. I think it might be transfer shock? Or a nute deficiency, but I'm not sure yet. Also I posted a picture if anyone could try to guess the sex. They're now on 12/12 stating 2 days ago.

looks like you overwatered which led to a nute lockout
