White build up. Not spider mites, not white powdery mildew

They’ve been curling for a while I don’t think it’s a tiger claw I think it has more to do with the humidity deficieny than anything else.. what do you think is causing it? I know you said nute burn but can you be more specific?

what kind of soil are u using? because if you want to give fertilizer, there could already be enough of them in that soil...

and BTW the pics the OP posted where just bout as normal as one could depict cannabis in varying zoom-ins. Well, you can get yourself a microscop for some bucks and see x120 what the world down there looks like and it may look strange but its still totally different than mold or other shit´.

I’m using half FFOF and half FFHF. Everyone says you don’t need nutes for the first few weeks but I’m on week 2 and I’m going to start at 1/4 strength and see what happens

Good call cutting the OF with the HF. OF is sometimes too hot out of the bag.

Thank you! I’ve heard that before and the lab results for OF PH is 7.2. which is why mixed it, however, I water my pots to runoff before I transplant my seedlings and my runoff ph was like 4.5-5. I rewatered several times gradually increasing ph. eventually I used water up to 8.0ph and it still was at 5.0. All this to say I started the two pineapple chunk in 100% OF. The runoff was more like 6.0-6.3. Ive since learned a lot about runoff and how it is irrelevant if you’re not using nutes. Gotta give credit to @diggs99 and @Renfro . I’ll eventually get a soil probe, but for now have directed my attention to other things.. I haven’t watered since the first watering so I don’t know if its balanced out or not but I never saw a deficiency which is more evidence that @Renfro is right about the runoff ph being irrelevant. But if it becomes a problem I’m going to apply some dolomite lime to the topsoil. Idk if this will work I haven’t tested it, but I think that’ll do it. I’m open to anything and everything constructive to growing btw. You can pm me or just reply. Thanks for the advice :weed:

You're in good hands with those 2.

They look fine. I wouldn't change anything unless you encounter an issue.

Sounds good friend. One other thing though.. they look healthy.. but don’t they seem a bit small for day 13?

No, not really. Especially for soil. You should pat yourself on the back because they aren't overwatered, which is very common.

They start out slow til they get to around the 6th node, then they take off. Even hydro doesn't have too much of a leg up on this stage.

Oh and it’s only on the tips of the middle leaves on both sides of the second node. No other nodes are affected, I watered her yesterday and my high ass forgot to ph the water. Really unlike me I’m usually a crackhead about ph lol
