Welcome to the forum, there are a lot of helpful people here. Is that only getting window lighting? Only ask because I read itâs not adequate light for cannabis.

Healthy but light deprived Growmie. If thatâs a photo period plant I would recommend a transplant to a larger vessel and put her outside or under a good full spectrum LED light

That was my game plan this weekend is to get them to a bigger pot and get a LED

Yeah they only have had window light, Ive been reading and probably a mistake on why the leaves keep dying off, so plan is to get them to a bigger pot and a LED

BTW whatâs a photo period

Yeah the beauty of a photo is you can veg for a little while until it bounces back with more light.
Photoperiod need to be put on a light schedule of 12/12 to induce flowering. The plus side is you can make sure your plants healthy or you have the cover you want before going into flower.
Then thereâs auto flowers which automatically go into flowering regardless of light schedules. Theyâre more temperamental and you donât have time to fix mistakes before it starts to flower, which can affect yield.

Alright understood. So with the bigger pot and a LED they should start to flower or do I still got some time before that occurs?

You have a photo, if it was an auto you would start to see signs of flowering. Can leave in veg another 2 maybe 3 months before flipping to a 12/12 schedule to flower.

Ok, so another question um the leaves underneath as you can kinda tell keep yellowing and dying is that over watering or the sun light the on it during the day or natural process ,cause itâs continuing to grow up top

Iâll be honest with you Iâm a first time grower So for this I may be incorrect but I think itâs the normal part of it aging if itâs only the older lower leaves.

Definitely get those girls some more light. Most of the time yellowing of lower leaves is the normal process of the plant discarding leaves it no longer needs to produce energy. Judge your plants health by the top half.
On a side note i would not recommend growing multiple plants in the same container. They will compete for nutrients which is not beneficial towards healthy growth.

Welcome to the community. Healthy looking plant you have there. Do you have a plan on what light you are going to purchase. They are kinda expensive but as you can the investment pays for itself. I would look at HLG lights. There are a lot of grow lights out there that are good for the veg period but not enough wattage for flower. Sometimes you can find used on market place or even buy refurbished from some companies. Also if you keep a eye out there are some great sales that will save you $$. Happy growing, your in good hands with these fellow growers

Welcome to forum.
Modern windows being âenergy Efficientâ have light spectrum filters.Possibly making less âreal or usableâ light available. Outdoors?

Iâm a first time grower but I can possibly point out a few problems. As others have said you shouldnât grow multiple plants in one container. It could be that theyâre competing with each other over the nutrients in the soil and is possibly getting deprived of what it needs.
The taller one seems pretty leggy. It knows that there is light there but itâs not getting the called for amount of light it needs so itâs stretching for it. They have some good grow lights online. Spider farmer and ac infinity are a little pricey but pretty good lights.
What type of soil are you using ? Some come with plenty of nutrients in it to last 6months some 12 months. So if your soil already has nutrients and youâre feeding additional nutrients you could be hurting the plant.
If youâre using tap water allow it to sit out for 24hrs before watering the plant. Thatâll allow chlorine to evaporate out. Check the ph of the water and make sure itâs within the range that itâs suppose to be so all nutrients can be available to the plant.
I would get a grow light
Monitor temperature and humidity
Evaporate off the chlorine
Adjust the ph of the water Iâm giving the plant.
Allow wet/dry cycles in between watering
And find out if your soil already has enough nutrients in it and or when you would have to start adding nutrients to it yourself.
I would also cut my losses with the smaller plant and cut it out of there. And transplant to a bigger pot. Fabric pots are pretty good.

Good tips but I will say with this one itâs really dependent on the municipality the water comes from. There are normally yearly water data reports each year you can look at but if it says you have chloramine it will not evaporate. To fix this I just bought API tap water conditioner and followed instructions to remove chloramines. I can treat around 2,500 gallons for $3

Hi there, welcome here!
Adding a thought or two to help a bit. I agree with the thought that you have a photoperiod plant. This type requires a change in hours of light to tell it to bloom - in indoor grows you would move it from a 16 hour light cycle to 12 hours of light and 12 of complete dark. It will have a growth spurt when you flip the light cycle and the height will double, make sure you have room.
Thatâs all dependant on if you have enough light though⌠I am a fan of HLG lighting - a good light can make a giant plant. Meaning you wont need many plants to get a good supply.
Next up pots - if your in a soil mix, think something with good drainage. Fabric or air pots are great for roots and not expensive.
Ph of your water is pretty important and not hard to manage. You need a ph of 6.5 for the roots to absorb the food from the soil. A pen will cost you 20-40$
Last is plant food - if your in a soil that is not pre nutrient loaded you will need something. I use jacks 321 cause itâs cheap and easy to store/mix. Its easy to overspend here, keep it simple and they do great. These are mine and I am half assing this growđ
Ok this is the last last thought. You can spend a ton or you can spend none - it all impacts, if your plants give you bud, how much and of what quality. I have those two in a 5x5 tent and they take up the whole thing. You can get a lot with way less $$ figure out how much you want to get and scale your investment.
Hope that helps!

Nice recommendations Grow Bro, beautiful plants in the pic. You may want to check your lighting intensity, leaves pointing upward that much are indicative of too intense. When you notice premature trichome production on the leaves itâs there way of protecting themselves kind of like sun screen 
. With that said some strains do well and some do not, itâll be apparent a little later in flower with fox tails

That is a big factor as well and forgot to remember each area is different with what they have in their water.
