I am having trouble with my plants,they are about 4 weeks old and I feel like they are having stunted growth and the leaves are showing some weird signs . I don't k
now what the problem is but it is definatly worrying me .
Discussion
Just wanted some opinions/advice on whether to transplant into a bigger pot while it's in flower stage. I'm not a grower just an experimentalist naturally.
Usually something like this will stem from a PH issue. We'll need to know what type of medium your using and what nutrients and the PH you've been adjusting your feeds too. Also is that going to be older growth or newer growth.

I am using gaia green and I was told it had enough nutrients in the organic soil that I dont need to ph yet just use distilled water , and also I have only been using clone x seedling nutrients so far
So that is the issue my friend. The amount of nutrients is irrelevant as to if you need to PH. Certain nutrients are only available at certain PH levels. Your soil has all the nutrients but your plants can not uptake all of what they need at a 7.0 Ph. Which distilled water generally is. I recommend bringing your PH down to 6.2-6.5 as this will preserve your microbial life and alllow your plants to uptake all the macro and micro nutirents they need. Give this a shot for a few watering sand let me know if you see improvement. ✌🏻
Ok thank you very much ,I really appreciate it alot !
Ok so I just went and bought a ph meter and the ph is already at 6.2
Distilled water has a neutral PH of 7.0
I believe this to be caused by a nitrogen deficiency. The cause can be any of the following.
not enough nutrients
wrong PH range
root bound or to small of a pot
I would adjust these three things if they are not good and give it 4 or 5 days. Use the lift test to insure your not over watering and do very light watering after transplanting. Don't water till run off.
