I am a legal MMP card holder and my own caregiver.
I'm a new grower/patient and I am attempting an all organic soil grow. I'll spare everyone all the verses of my sad song, expect to say this is my fourth attempt to grow from seed. Everything started out great this time, but now I'm starting to see some yellowing on the first true leaf set and some new growth is curling. She's definitely in pre-flower with lots of white hairs - just over two weeks old. My thought is she might have just been hungry and possible slightly under watered. I have noticed the stems are starting to turn a little red. Anyways, I would really love some input from more experienced growers. Is she okay or are these early signs of some problem? I'll try to post some pics below. Thanks for your help. Peace.
