Well, below your post

Thanks for all the input everyone, being my first grow I am going to grow it out and see what happens. Then use what I learned for my next lady

That soil is “Hot” meaning, too much nutrients in the soil. This is what I’ve learned over the years and theoretically plants are like children growing up. When they are babies(seedlings/clones) they only need bare nutrients(very light dose). Usually half the recommended light feeding. You can’t take a baby to a buffet and force a bunch of food in them. lol You have to let the children grow up first. After 2-3 weeks from start they will be like a 5 year old who wants to try different foods in light doses and after 4-5 weeks it’ll be off to the buffet with everything in mind.

So, under good growing conditions. You typically start feeding lightly after the seed/clone is established(usually 2-3 weeks from start) just give them water with PH of 6.2-6.5 for first 2 weeks if in SOIL. Then start lightly feeding, with watering in between feeding. Do this until week 4 of veg, depending on plant size. Then start feeding normally. Check your ppm of the nutrients. Light feeding should be around 400-600 ppm. Normal is around 700-1000ppm. Heavy is 1100-1300ppm.

I kind of forgot about making this post, but she has come a long way since I made it. Glad I let her do her thing. She is about to start flowering, can’t wait to harvest and run a couple GG4’s next in smaller pots. Definitely wasn’t a perfect first grow, but I am learning. Thanks everyone who chimed in with any advice.

Two on the left Rum Dosidub from Nancy out of OK. Two on the right, one obscured by other plants, were Trainwreck. I purposely grow small plants easy to handle. I am not shy when it comes to topping, lollipoping, and treating autos like any other plant. I’m a medical grower with a few health setbacks so small easy to reach plants between the front half of a 3×3 and a 2×4 prevent me from nose diving into the tents. Autos should just be glad that I don’t defoliate them with the hedge trimmer. They have it easy.

I top dressed these autos twice during the entire grow. Four tablespoons general purpose (Coast of Maine), four tablespoons of worm castings at start of week four. Then four tablespoons fish bone meal and four tablespoons worm castings end of week six.

Aside from that, recharge, stash blend, myco and adding a few cups of soil when it settles. Three gallon pots but upped to five on my current grow.
