I’ll be popping my first seeds in docs kit this week. Super excited!! Soil is ready on the 18th after 1 month cooking. Will be growing Barney’s G13 Haze and HSO 707 Headband. So I’ll be coming with the questions!

LSD (Elev eight seeds), White Widow and a little on the Bubba Hash. I was thinking the same thing (as you). I did increase the strength of the feedings and that's seemed to help. New growth is looking better. I'll probably try a Rescue drench to kick'em in gear.

Hi Mike!
How many runs on the soil? Sometimes, on 3rd or 4th run, if a lot of leaves have been added to the soil, there's too much organic matter in the soil to sustain robust microbial life.
I'll be happy to advise once I know about your soil and how you recycle, if applicable. Rescue Drench 100%....but I'm wanting to know what to to after that.
So, get back to me on that and we'll problem solve!

Hey Doc!
I'm using second run soil. I did add a few handfuls of leaves over time. Most of them had decomposed by the time i filled these pots. Any leaves that were left were discarded and did not go into the current pots. Thanks for jumping in here!

I think so. Temps are averaging 83º (supplying CO2) during the day, 76º at night. Working on lowering the night temp a bit. Humidity is 59% daytime, 50% at night.
Do you think it's possible that the problem might be from the plants receiving to much or to strong a light? I may have pushed the limit - too strong, to close - with my new light. Though I dimmed it down to 10% at 24" post germinating, early seedling stage, I may have increased the power/distance to the plants too soon.

Yep. You could easily fry them with that beast. Everything else checks out.....so I'd look to raising the lights and monitoring new growth after the rescue drench.

Will do. Thank you sir.
Ok guys I haven't grown brix in a while but I still pop in on occasion to keep up on things.
I was gifted SweetSues soil since she went hempy, and I already had the nutes, sooooo may as well give it a whirl.
I was going to wait till the grow was over and showcase some awesome buddage.
But I could use an opinion or two on whats going on with her clawing.
I'm 4 weeks into flowering, only 10 days seeing hairs and she seems to be fading a bit on top and getting the claw in the last two weeks.
I did the recharge at week 1 since I was putting some gnat block on top of the soil then.
here she is at 2 weeks 12/12 looking good. Heavyweight Seeds - KO Kush (Afg x HP x NL)
She never has had that praying up look, and the stems are more on the rubbery side than the stiff side
here she is now at 4 weeks, fading a bit and clawing, just did first Cat today

Something doesn't look quite right to me--curious what the other brixers say, but if it were me, I'd flush it, then give it a big rescue drench, then follow that with a 1/4 strength de-stress every other day.
That Cat might just push her in the wrong direction--that's why I recommend the flush first. Also, make sure those roots are getting enough oxygen...
Good luck Hash!!
shes in a fabric pot

Do you have some spare rockwool cubes lying around? I'd find something that breathes to put under that pot--even another fabric pot, folded up--to make sure the bottom isn't anaerobic.
It sounds nuts, but give it a shot--it's worked for me.
I dont have a whole lot of experience... but kinda looks like she sat in some water too long? Looks like wet feet to me...
Not the case. She's drinking a lot. I've been giving her a gallon every two or three days and the plant is pretty dry at each watering. She doesn't sit in water more than 15 min till any runoff is absorbed back in.

Hmm...tough one....
Might be a stupid Q, but....What are your day/night time temps and humidity levels? Maybe humidity is getting too high, throwing VPD off?
75 80 temps, 50 60 humidity

What size pots?

We haven't had any rash of complaints in a while....and a lot of folks have switched to plastic pots, instead of fabric. I really don't like what those fabric pots do to root development....it's a flawed idea.
Also, did you yourself mix and cook the soil?
