So far I'm very happy with my first grow. I found the seeds, so I have no idea what strains they are. But they're all female :)

Days or even weeks ago I noticed that some leaf tips of the largest plant at the back were turning brown and curling up. Only a little at first, so I didn't think much of it. But now I'm not sure if this is unhealthy behavior. A few of the large leaves have also already turned yellow, which I've removed. The air circulation is better this way, but I'm starting to doubt whether the plant is safe or in danger.

Last night I hung the lamp a little higher (about 30 cm away) and aimed the fan at the wall; previously it had been aimed at the canopy. I hope it was only too much wind/light stress for this one plant.

If you have experience with this I'd love to get some feedback.

I used this pre-fertilized coconut soil / coco substrate. I also repotted them twice with the same substrate.

And last week I used this liquid fertilizer very diluted when watering.

Until now I was more worried about too much nutrients/ wind/ light. Also because the other 2 seem super healthy to me. But well I'm inexperienced

Ah, I don’t grow in coco coir, but iirc it’s supposed to be treated like hydro, so feeding with every watering. Plants can also have different needs, so varying needs of different nutrients. You should be using a different nutrient mix for veg and flower though.

I’ll let someone else step in, sorry.

Yeah I think I'll just try keep using the cheap liquid fertilzer from now on for watering that one. (If no one else comes around with further/other suggestions. Thank you!

Oh nice. But I don't have one since the one I had as a child turned into a biohazard.

Nothing wrong with that, I don’t tailor my mix for each individual one, if one’s hungrier, well sorry girl.

Next grow definitely look at getting a non-universal feed though, they have wildly different NPK needs in veg than they do in flower.
