12/21/21 day 29 start of week 4 -
Plant height is around 7 to 8 inches except for P5 sitting at 6in.
Used about 1 gallon to water all 5 plants this time around. About to add in some plant risers to keep them off the floor more and out of any standing run off water.
No signs of any issues other than some minor light burn on P2. FIMβd P2 as well on day 28
12/23/21 day 31 - defoliation on all plants completed. Lots of internal growth that had not had enough light. Should recover now that the massive fan leaves are gone.
Topped all plants with 1 cup of worm castings and 1/2 a cup of both alfalfa meal and crab meal then watered 1.5 gal of water between all 5 plants
Added a tower fan because I was high and forgot my fans werenβt ever hitting the plants.

Grow Questions
JLive3asy420started grow question 3 years ago
My last grow had 5 plants going & overwatered once & believe had some runoff that the plants sat in. I suspect this damaged them pretty significantly. One of the plants came out amazing, nice dense strong nugs. The other 4 plants have airy nugs not dense at all. What caused this?

Hi there Jlive, i'm quite sure this has to do with airflow and temperature. Different genetics are sensitive to that stuff in different ways. What's interesting is you can get different climates even inside the same tent. Make sure you have proper airflow also inside the tent to make sure the conditions are even and stable. it's harder than you think : if you measure at different places in your tent you'll see you can have quite a lot of variation. What you need to measure is the difference between the ambient temperature and the leaf surface temperature. you're looking for numbers like -2 or -3.... what you probably had last time was something like 0 or -4... something like that ... It's not a common question to ask. Hope this helps ! π

One seedling is very underdeveloped compared to others. Happy Frog potting soil w/ worm castings added in, light is 18" away & on day 5. Humidity: 40% Temp: 75 - 78 f but I had a sandwich bag over all the plants to up the RH. New humidifier RH 70% temp 75 f no sandwich bag anymor

Guess we are all different and it happens with the plants too.
For them to die something bad must happen but if you keep taking good care she'll grow like the others.
Also worth to note that at this phase, as you refered, the plant needs high RH. On the other hand for the roots to grow faster it's convenient that the soil doesn't stay humid too long. It's always a matter of keeping the balance.
I like to use bigger pots at start and I'll increase gradually the space between the plant and water mark in the surface of the soil.
Good luck

P3/P4 in my active grow seem like they are missing something. Any ideas? PPM of 300 with SLF100, some Great White, and Recharge in 5 gal of dechlorinated water, PH 6.47. Might want cal-mag?

I have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasnβt thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.

When is the best time to top? What exactly is a node? Is it the start of new growth on the main trunk?

A node is where side leaves (and later on new branches) appear. You usually should wait until 4-5 nodes have formed, unless you want to do some hardcore HST. Do not count cotyledon leaves as a node.

Looks, beautiful man. Now that your plants will have finished their vertical growth open up that temp gap between lights on and lights off. Generally we do not want more than 9 degrees less when the lights go out or the plants will stretch. Once they are done their vertical growth if we open up that temp gap beyond that it will instead now send extra energy into the plants budding process and resin production. Slowly widen it up to 10 degrees and beyond as you get closer to harvest to get real nice dense caked up buds. Keep up the great work man if you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary & follow my profile and youtube for videos. Happy growing!

@LegacyMarketFarm, thank you for this! I have been asking the question about getting denser buds for a while now. Everyone said stronger lights. I think my light output is fine for 5 plants. Yes it could be more but, for now itβs fine.
