Started the week messing with drip water system. It was a FAIL and overwatered my plants. UGH! Did not water/feed for 125 hours. Pots now finally damp dry. I’m running tent at 80 max with good air flow. Venting very few hours to allow humidity to escape. The one front right is yellowing. And the one behind her slightly yellowing as well but they look much bushier today that a few days ago. On day 40 2 plants showed signs of under water by droopy leaves. See pics. Have them 20oz water with feed and waited 12 hours to see plants response. See pics at Day 41. They perked up so those needed more water. Gave them another 10 oz with feed along with 3 others that are looking like these did 2 days ago. Will check on them in 12 hours to see response. Ok so week 6 has ended on a much BETTER note! Whew! Day 42 everyone LOOKS a lot better!
Some still haven’t been watered/Fed but are looking great. Praying and green. I left those alone.
Week 6 sucked!
@hotmamma, okay do not water no matter what your instinct tells you too , the water in the pots will need some air circulation to help remove the water that now will start to suffocate your plants . Are you plastic or fabric pots
Your plants could do with some space if aviable between them to create some airflow it's Important to get air circulation around the base as much as up above
@hotmamma, less water and more time between watering I used to make the mistake thinking underwatering was so bad but in reality they recover alot faster underwater than overwatering which causing a headache of issues
@Igrowneil, they are in 15 gallon fabric pots. almost 3 days with no more water. I put my finger in the soil. I’d say it’s damp not soaked. Some area of the pots are dry on top but some are still damp. They look fuller and have grown up to 4”. I have an oscillating fan blowing with an 8” AC Infinity system. Been running 78-82 to burn off some water. Humidity at 60-71 percent. Opening tent to let humidity escape so no mold or fungus grows. When I open it I’ll drop about 10 -15 percent. I overwatered Sunday - Monday before that I had only hand watered up to 40 Oz a day. So hopefully they can recover. I feel like they are trying hard to make it.
Awesome work for a first grow! great set up.. I applaud you for taking on such a big grow your first time around, but looks like you did it right and that reward of harvest is just around the corner. Its very interesting to see the wild variation between plants that are all BB autos at the same stage of growth week to week. I ran several of ILGM's autos when i first started growing and this was the case across most of them. But thats why I only do photoperiods now (among a whole lot of other reasons). Good luck in the remaining few weeks!
