If you have a microscope (which you should have), I would like to see a snapshot of the underside of that leaf, that would for sure rule out leaf miner(s)

Wellā€¦ I do not have a microscope ā€¦ like I said, I do not have any special accessories for this, since this is the first time I am growing cannabis.
The underside of the leaf looks completely normal, if that is enough

It is if you know what to look for :wink: you should invest in something like this

A great investment :wink:

To help with any future problemsā€¦

With the bloated looking leves I feel theres too much water somwhere. Weather in the air or soil. If the humidity is low then you could be watering too often.
It is hard to diagnose a plant fron a photo. Have a look at the link and see what you thinkā€¦

Ye actually that was the first website I visited :smiley: among many others but I only found the leaf minor and nothing similar. And it is possible that I am overwatering it a bit. Is the correct measuring technique the first 2 inches of soil, whether it is dry or wet ?

@piper I have seen that microscope also used for determining the maturity of the buds right (if I will get there :smiley: ), so that would be useful :thinking: (as soon as I have some money tho xd)

But couldnā€™t that be from light somehow ? I have one 25 W, 8W and another 18W LED about 10cm right above it. I know it is very close but I thought that as long as the plant thrives it is alright :smiley: I am afraid of losing some light with greater height.

The stem is purple on some parts (upper) and the main stem has some weird green stripes, as if it would be scratched :open_mouth:
Is it somehow related to the leaf ? Can it be from the light ? I donā€™t think its genetics I have looked up pictures of some young plant of the same strain and it was completely green :scream: :sweat:

Personally, I never bothered with purple stemsā€¦ Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s supposed to tell me something or notā€¦
I always thought that it was just the branches that were getting stronger and thickerā€¦ but I very well might be wrongā€¦
All I know is that Iā€™ve had it on a lot of my plants and it didnā€™t slow anything downā€¦

I will look it up and share what I find, unless someone, who has the answer, chips in! :nerd_face:

ye I read this a moment ago but they say that it could be everything or nothing so I am a bit confused :smiley: Maybe I am just overreacting but I am very afraid that something will happen :grimacing:
Do you think the close lights arenā€™t a problem ?

No. Is there any other weird things happening?
Donā€™t forget that over-thinking it and over-doing is what kills most seedlingsā€¦
Just have a drink and chill out a little bit. I know itā€™s stressful, but donā€™t forget : itā€™s a weed. It wants to growā€¦ just keep a close eye on them and you should be fine.
I never had any problems with purple stems.
If itā€™s something really serious, the real growers will let us know, donā€™t worry. They donā€™t always answer when we have someone helping us already, but very few of them will let us harm our plants!

What do you say @oldguy?

@jardinero. The led light will bring out some stem colouring when they are younger.
Maybe bring your lights up a tad. 5 cm or so and just watch how things progress.
I think youā€™ll be just fine.
If itā€™s any consolation Iā€™ve had many young plants with some purpling on the fan leaf stems. :wink::v::+1:
I also use an led light when theyā€™re young. :+1:

Looking at the node spacings I would definitely raise the lights. Let them streach up a bit, give them some roon to growā€¦
Can you zoom in any closer? Then enlarge the photo on your phone and take a screen shot for usā€¦

Me too.
Can you see any webbing in the botton of the leaf fingers?..

Thats the best pictures I can take unfortunately - my phone :grimacing:
i havenā€™t seen any webs, the plant seem overally healthy to me :thinking:
But I will bring up the lights a bit tho :slight_smile:

@jardinero. I believe that @Budstone ā€˜s comment about the spider mites was directed to @chefjonnyg.

:joy: :joy: :joy: oh right nvm than
But now when I look at the stem, its apparent that the upper layer (darker) is peeling off :open_mouth:
Is that normal ? Is she just growing bigger ? :thinking:
