They can do that from humidity too. They look okay to me.

I’m still waiting for you to fill out a support ticket. You answered some, but not all the questions.
Do you test ppms in/out?
Don’t use peroxide in your soil. If you’ve got fungus gnats use BTi. It’s available on eBay. 2oz is plenty for a couple plants infested.

I dont test ppms because i dont have the proper equipment but i just ordered gh up n down plus the test kit from general hydroponics and i will be getting a digital ph checker as i have a dual metal prong 3 in 1 moister light and ph tester and i know those arent reliable i will also be buying the TDS meter to test the ppm as well are there any training methods that i can perform on them [the 2 big girls] I’ve bent there stems back n forth since i planted them and they sprouted ect but i cant really tell if they have enough nodes for hst any thought?
@888Mikael
For ph testing you would want to at least get a digital meter. You can get a cheaper set that will work to start out. As you progress in growing go for a better meter but for now. Here is a low cost starter set that would suffice.
Not sure what I’m looking at? Although I believe one of those is a male.
Really?if so which one @DivChem and what would give you that impression
The first one. It looks like a male due to the balls, or its a herme… Always get second opinions though! As for the lighting. Depends on how much power you are running. I run a PAR 600 LED with 3 100 watt leds for side lighting as required! My plants seem to like 22, 24" above the canopy. Bottom line, Simplicity is the mother of invention! Less is WAYyyy More… Dont make things more difficult than needed.
As you can see, I have a 24" string cut and attached to the light for ease of adjustment. In the Military its called idiot cord…
I dont see any balls i mean ive been researching deep i to determining the sex and tbh its still pretty early hasnt even hit a three week mark yet but tuesdsys my deadline and you all will have a update they are all females tbh i know for a fact my phone is trash camera included but the ball you said you saw isnt round it resembles a calyx and not a sack the calyx on my plant too small for you too see has 2 green pistils sprouting out of both big girls calyx or balls as you called them

Cool. Understand. Like I said, I’m not a PHD Horticulturist, nor do I play one on TV. I have had males in my grow box at one time or another… So wait a bit longer, always side on less water…

Update on the girls giving water at 6.3 installed mylar sheets. I transplanted 3 onto red cups and used some great white root powder for the transplant they transitioned beautifully i defoliated its on of the big girls first leaves as they were completely yellow and almost dead wasting energy I’ve observed that the cotelydons on my seedling are dying early is that normal? I know its jormal for the big girls but the babies arent that old… havent been watering as frequently and ive invested in ph up and down and 5 gallon grow bags i need some help diagnosing the girl on the right her leaves are yellowing and spreading and theres a tint of orange on the edges any advice would be a blessing guys @Covertgrower

The first leaves are temporary and will die off. Yes normal.
Any suggestions @Covertgrower
What’s the question here? @888Mikael

Good evening grow family ive been away for awhile but the update is here. I transplanted one big girl into a 5 gallon grow bag yesterday and gave her some great white premium mycorrhizae for her roots she transitoned lovely but has some minor drooping today i
checked the ph on my water and its maintaining 6.2 and my worm casting tea is maintaining a solid 6.4 itopped the other big girl but i didnt transplant her yet as i wanted to see how she reacted she hasnt shown any signs of stress but ice been on the less water scale just observing i did notice that my seedling two first true leace and cotelydons are yellowing and dying no signs of yellowing on their new growth and leaves but its still a major concern for me as this has never happened to me this early in its life cycle before other than that ive been having problems with gnats and ive been told to not use insecticide so i meed major advice because they have been flying around every now and then? Dont they feed off plants and soil? Any advice would be great and i am spamming with oucs today
Ps: additional info
Lights: Two Led 600 watt full spectrum running 18hrs on and 6 hrs off
Water is tap but im using general hydroponics ph up and down kit
Neem oil 3 in 1?: now i bought this to combat the gnats as i was instructed to not use my water + 20% hydrogen peroxide solution is this neem oil ok for the gnats and should i continue to use when i reup i will be buying 100% pure neem oil and tossing the 3 in 1
Fan Time: i usually keep my fam funning for as long as my lights are on i use a pretty big inline fan but i have it on the lowest setting for the girls as my grow space is tight how long should fans be on in tight spaces i do notice the soil does dry faster with the fans making it harder for gnats to fly and

My new info and pics are up i need advice info posted few mins ago here are the rest of the pics
Alsoi noticed that there are chutes coming out from in between can i clip the to focus the plants energy or leave them be?
Please take photos in natural light, blurple makes diagnostic stuff next to impossible. But the little ones, if I had to guess are over fed?

@888Mikael don’t clip shoots unless they are those dead yellow ones. Wait until she bushes out and then defoliate a bit and trim up the undergrowth.
I prefer to wait till closer to flower for that and here’s my reasoning. “Any issue you make have can be seen sooner on lower branches which are fed from the main artery of the plant sooner, they also will be trimmed away before flower so those problem you fixed won’t be seen in your end results.”
That being said if at all possible grab some general hydroponics flora three step. It’s not organic like you could use in soil but it’s cheap and it’s good, it’s also made to grow bud and not roses.
Not knocking your rose nutrients, a little but not really seriously, but grab something made to grow what your trying to. Your doing a good job.
One looks a little cah mag deficient but I’ll wait till we get some natural light pics to make that call.
@888Mikael nem oil has been reported to cause seizures and other nasty things in people
“ neem oil is potentially toxic and can cause metabolic acidosis, seizures, renal failure, encephalopathy and severe brain ischemia in infants and young children . Neem oil should not be consumed alone without any other solutions, particularly by pregnant women, women trying to conceive, or children.”
Sounds like something I’d like to smoke… go with lady bugs or other predatory insects like praying mantis for gnats. Plus they just make for awesome bud pics
