Never knew you could learn so much in one day, everyday.

First year growing from seed and holy Hannah have I learned a lot. About 3 months old now. OG Kush Dinafem strain feminized. 1 girl got ripped out of pot when was working (squirrel, raccoon) 4/5 remain.

Feed with DNF gro (2 part). Organic soil mix. Compost, bat guano, clippings. Insecticidal soap when needed. Peroxide mix every 3rd water. Pro-mix + Triple mix as filler. Full sun till about 6-7pm.

Started out in way to hot of a soil. One girl got fried like crazy and as you can tell is still recovering but has came along way. Others were stresses but 3 have came back with minor delays.

My mother plant is obviously the biggest and healthiest. Some bug damage nothing crazy.

Next down would be the purp. I believe it was a magnesium toxicity from well water + nutrients that caused a calcium lockout which caused her to turn purple. I am just after flushing getting the calcium back up and am beginning to see her green up from the bottom up. Thoughts!?!?

Then we have Ms pale. Her top set of leaves at the tips are beginning to turn pale green and wilt + taco. Not sure what it could be? Maybe stress from bugs that I had, not enough nutrients?? Please do help.

Last but not least we have Miss Herpie cause she looks like she has a STD. As for her well she's pretty much a test from here on in. Flushed until she went pale just starting bringing nutes+peroxide into her watering and is doing ok

#1 piece of advice for any new grower outdoors or indoors. Save your money and time, do your research and invest in a very good potting mix at least 1-2 weeks before you plan on planting. Also get a PH tester, PH Up/Down.

Mix your soil to supply your plants with organic nutrients. (organic compost, worm castings, bat guano, dolomitic lime,perlite whatever you choose, again research. Get a organic fertilizer and start with low doses when your plants begin to show signs of deficiency.

If you can continue supply of organic nutrients via your compost or the around yard/area. Ex. Compost from kitchen, banana peels, used coffee grounds, egg shells. Can buy worm castings/manure, build a bat house and you will have endless supply of guano. Again research try to learn from others mistakes. You will have a lot of success and won't waste your time and money. Properly prepped soil is the #1 best way to get your plant to a great start to a heavy finish. All the best.

Opinions and comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Happy growing and smoking.

I'd have to say the purple stems are the result of a cal mag deficiency but could very well be the strain, other than that looking damn good
