“Plants cannot carry out photosynthesis in moonlight because it does not carry enough energy to excite chlorophyll molecule, i.e., reaction centres PS I and PS II, so light-dependent reactions does not get initiated. Thus, no photosynthesis occurs in presence of moonlight.” Source: https://byjus.com/question-answer/does-moonlight-support-photosynthesis-find-out/

Lots more information is needed in order to properly diagnose. From the “Read Me First” thread:

What strain is it?
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?
If in Veg, for how long?
If in Flower stage, For how long?
Indoor or outdoor?
Soil, Soilless or Hydro?
If soil/soilless, what is in your mix?
If soil/soilless, what size pot?
Size of grow space (LxWxH)?
Make and model of grow light?
Light distance from the top of the plants?
Temperature in the environment?
Humidity in the environment?
PH of medium or reservoir?
EC/PPM of medium or reservoir?
Any Pests?
How often are you watering?
Type and strength of nutrients used?

Sorry for the delayed response here. I think you did a great job lollipopping so far. I’d wait until the end of stretch which should be another week from your post and then look to lollipop one more time. Nice job!

All 4 of those plants sprouted on the same day or did they sprout on different days?

Soil and worm castings is good. Adding in the small amount of Gaia green is ok. pH of 6.5 is good, temp 70-80 is good. If you raise the RH here in veg then that should help a bit with growth. Light distance should be fine.

You mention these 4 plants are the same cultivar. I assume they are from seed? Without knowing the parents and how stable they were when selfed, there is a possibly that you would see various growth characteristics and growth rates.

3 out of the 4 plants look to be ready for transplant. What size container will you transplant into?

The brown spots could be due to the drybacks and/or a heavy watering causing a lack of oxygen in the root zone. Both are easy to encounter in such a small container. I imagine things will be a lot easier for you and the plants will be happier in larger containers. Additional tip: sprinkle some mycorrhizal fungi onto the roots when transplanting and/or a 1/8 to 1/4 cup of worm castings into the hole before placing the plant in it.

Hope this helps!

Good question. I like adding in a microbial inoculant often times on “water-only” days

There are several things that cause yellowing leaves. Can we get more info? This info will help diagnose:

Yes, pollen from a male plant onto a female plant will produce regular seeds.

I see a lot of clear on the calyx. The trichomes on the leaves tend to turn faster so many ignore those. What’s the flowering time on this plant and how old is it?

[mrgrowit]

Are you sure it’s overwatered and not underwatered instead? I only ask because the medium looks dry – but I know cameras can be deceiving.

I personally haven’t used those self watering pots so I don’t have any advice but someone else on this forum might and may chime in.

[mrgrowit]

I use it separately. So when using bottled nutrients, I’ll typically do the water-feed-water-feed technique; so between feedings is when I give molasses.

Interesting that it’s just on that one leaf. Is there a fan or heater on that side of the grow space that may be hitting that leaf and causing it? If that’s not the case, browning of the edges just like you show is actually a sign of nitrogen toxicity. Although, I don’t really see any of the other signs of nitrogen toxicity such as excessively dark green leaves, shiny leaves, or clawing of the leaf tips. So if it is a toxicity, it doesn’t seem to be major. What is the EC or PPM?

[mrgrowit]

There are many different fertilizer brands out there and many of them work great. I personally started off using FoxFarm Trio of nutrients with CalMag. I used that lineup for over 6 years. I used a few others with another favorite of mine to be Blue Planet Nutrients. You can be successful with either one of those lineups so maybe see which one is available in your area and priced good.

Since you planted in a soil that already has nutrients in it, you have some time – but not a lot. What size containers are they in? The smaller container, the faster the nutrients will deplete from the soil.  Do you plan to keep in that container or transplant up to a larger container? If you transplant up to a larger container with fresh soil that has nutrients in it, then you can delay feeding bottled nutrients even longer.

Do you have a TDS tester on hand so you can check the PPM of the soil runoff? That will help give you an idea of how much nutrition is in the soil and when to feed. The PPM section of the book shows a chart with general PPM ranges for the different stages of growth. When the runoff PPM is low or about the be below the listed range, a feeding can be applied. Many growers will start with a 1/2 or 1/4 dose from what is says on the feedings chart to safe side things.

Beautiful plant! My buddy likes to convert his garage to a drying room after he harvests his outdoor plants. It’s wild how much space they can take up!

[mrgrowit]

Looking great! I’m so happy to see she bounced back for you and is now swelling up nicely!

[mrgrowit]

Hard to tell with just that one photo, but if the trichomes were mostly milky then you should be fine. Many old school growers will look at the stigmas to determine readiness which has been proven to be less accurate than looking at the trichomes. FB growing groups are typically very toxic so hopefully no one said anything that upset you. I had to leave all FB grow groups because of not only angry people but a lot of bad information.
