first time grower,my plant is 5weeks old.im heaving some problems.i keep getting mold on my soil surface and also my base leaves are turning brown.i could use some advice please (sorry for my english)
may need some more pics, but theres a few things that i can see that may be wrong. one, there doesnt appear to be perlite in your "soil" so the water you put it isnt draining very well which will cause mold. also, if you do not have a fan blowing air around your pot then you may encounter mold. the yellowing of the lower leaves may mean you should feed it. how often do you feed and water? as for the mold on the soil, just get all of it off and get less moisture and more air circulation.
1. your soil doesn't have proper drainage
2. the bottom yellowing foliage is cause from either root rot, or 1st&2nd stage fungus gnats living in your soil eating your roots. Either way its root damage
Transplant to new 5 gallon pot with a 50/50 perilite to soil mixture. Keep an eye out for little flying black bugs dwelling in or on your soil and water only when the top 1" of soil is dry
If you have h202 you could mix 1tsp per gal and water before transplanting. This will aerate your soil and provide a semi sterile environment for the roots to recover
Be sure to water slowly otherwise you will get wet foamy soil everywere
Good Luck!

if your going to wait a whole month to flower then i would say yes replant it in about 2 to 3 weeks ....... put plenty of airation in your soil (perlite , sand, or even rocks) add some good food to her an throw her in bloom.
that yellowing is a very very slight N def , thats all , an like matt said , go by the weight of the pot to tell if its dry or not .... it cant be staying too wet or it would not be that healthy.

back with an update.wyteboi you were right.the yellowing of the base leaves where caused by N deficiency.and i transplanted into a 5 galon pot and there wasnt any sign of root rot but let just say that my transplant didnt go very well.some soil broke off and the roots was exposed.
so im having some questions if you don't mind.how long will it take to see if i did something wrong?
and also how long to let her recover before i change to flowering?
mine aint much bigger at two an a half weeks an they are beautiful, so i would guess that your strain is more of a 10 to 12 weeker instead of 6 to 8 ?thx wyteboi i open another thread and somebody said the same thing.but until somebody answer i flushed because i thought ive put to much fertilizer.nobody answered.and now i put some flowering fertilizer 4-6-6 in about 3 days ill be putting some veg fertilizer.also il you dont mind with another opinion arent the buds kind of small for 3 weeks?thx for the answer
