I am considering starting a second grow, as I really like growing these plants! I have some questions, maybe you can help :)
1. How many plants would you put in a 1.2x1.2 tent? Four in 55L pots?
2. As a growth tent I would like to buy a 1x1 - Y/N? Flowering in 1.2x1.2.
Thank you!
I checked out your grow. Looks great. I now also have the combination of 1x1 growth and 1.2x1.2 blooms with me (since yesterday 😉).
A maximum size of 20 liters is sufficient for the pots indoors. Anything else is a waste of resources. Unless you want to take your time and grow a single giant plant through LST and topping. Of course, it needs more space for the roots.
One more thing. In order to get the humidity stable, there is a regulator on Amazon for very little money. I already have 2 in use and get very good results. Search for "SHT2000"
So the plants survived their first week under my care! Thank you to everybody who is following the grow! This is what happened during last week:
- Ventilation system has been added as well as a ventilator (that is a bit too big)
- All plants were topped three days ago, they have recovered decently
- Some water was spilled on the leafes, most of them had to be removed due to burning issues
- Growth was not as strong as expected, about 15 cm
- Some plants seem to be stressed, trying to figure out what to change. I assume that "wind burn" is the problem
- Having stable 40 to 50% humidity is an issue. Sometimes it dropped down to 20% due to the ventilation system
Goals for week two are making the plants grow faster and getting rid of the issues. Would be great to be able to start the flowering process next week.
Are my plants ready for flowering period? (Please check out the picture) Plan is to do the SCROG in the first week of flowering - I think they already cover enough space to start the flowering period. What do you think? Thx 4 your help 👍
Aw if they are all clones then they maybe ready earlier.
I would still grow them out and top them once on every branch before switching to flower.
that will be about two weeks time.

Good Luck!
Plants survived their first week of flowering. This week starts with defoiliation (that should have happened earlier), plants are looking healthy so far but could grow a bit stronger. No nutrients during the last days and the coming ones. Watering each plant with 0.5l every three days.
Started this week with half of the recommended dose of the flowering nutrient, plants seem to like it. Everything going well so far, but it is a bit difficult to water the plants due to limited space.
This week has been stressful. The whole tent had to be moved to a different room and temperature and humidity control is becoming more and more an issue. Especially during the night humidity goes up to like 60-70% and if I open the window, the temperature falls too low. SCROG has been removed.
I discovered some brown spots on leaves....please tell me that this not root rot 😨 Some leaves that looked worse had been removed last week, I thought that this was just a nutrition issue.
It would only be root rot if your overwatering heavily and the medium has got compacted to much causing lack of oxygen to the roots.
I would also expect this to show on the whole plat not a new leaves.
leaning more nutrition relayed.
Check to confirm your feed is complete and providing enough for the plants.
Good Luck!
Well what can I say... added a used LED light to the grow that I got for a good price as energy prices are quite high and getting more expensive. Going to upgrade the ventilation system as well, having the box in my bedroom is just unbearable with the current ventilation.
High humidity at night above 60% causes me a headache, I am trying to reduce it as much as possible - hope the new system is gonna work better.
Plants have a variety of issues, also I believe that they don't grow as fast as they should. Any help/comment appreciated!
I water my plants with about 1.5L every 3-4 days. My pot size is 18L, filled with 15L. So they should be watered with 5L each according to CANNA - but my plants are not that thirsty! What would you guys recommend me to do? PH is fine but I don't know about the EC. Thank you!
If these are the plants from your diary that you are asking about, I agree, 3-5 litres every few days would be about right.
Deep watering to run off every few days is much better than lots of little waterings every 2-3 days.
You need run off to prevent the building up of nutrient salts to toxic levels in your soil, that will then harm/burn your plants.
The best moisture meter is your finger, stick it in the soil and once the top 2-3 cm are dry, this is when to water deeply again.
This may be anywhere between 2 and 7 days, depending on temps, your plants requirements and the water holding capacity of your soil mix.
Hope this helps, Organman.
Finally watering the plants more. The ones in the back of the growtent are not doing that great, seems like they have a nutrition lockout. New Ventilation S&P 500 silent added, this thing is awesome!If you have any advice for me feel free to leave a comment, would highly appreciate it!
Lots and lots of yellow and whitish leaves, plants don't drink a lot of water (watered with 3l per pot, that lasts for 6 days). Is this normal? I do not think so. Tested the EC from the water after going through the soil, it is a bit too high (2.2)

Hey buddy. Looking through your grow and nutes strength you are using, I might have solution? Are u mixing all nutes together or giving them sep. As u are using a high dose of all key canna products which have enough of everything you'd ever need. You have nute lock or poor roots. That and you are using 5ml/l of 1 nute compared to half strength of all other nutes. When mixing nutes together you need to give exact mixes if you want to add extra of another certain nute just mix it up Sep in a 2ml/l solo mix. Also bring down the N, I can't tell what's in your nutes. But you are focusing too much and if you are giving them same nutes from beginning to start it'd be best to give them sep and mess around with doses as plants in flower love boosts in something as opposed to giving throughout the whole grow. Here's some info on the importance of PK and how they move water around your plant and the importance of flushing and mixing nutes evenly. If you need more info on m8ximg nutes I successfully mix 14 nutes together without constant nute lock, yes, I've had nute lock around 3 dif times on the same plant but if you watch your girls closely and slight change you catch and fix your plant will hardly have any notice. My lockout got so bad my ppm got to 8500 in 200ml of run-off so she was drinking the water taking some nutes but leaving most behind.

Good luck pal
Flushed them as I think they are only a week or two away from harvest. They are getting really heavy and as I had to move them to the shower to flush them properly I tried to be careful not to break any branches. The PH is about 8.0 of the tap water, so after flushing I gave them enough PH 6.3 water. One or two plants seem to be finished, they already have some dark trichomes - but I can't harvest them as I only have this tent.
As always - if you have any advice for me or criticism, please let me know! Thank you!
EDIT: Humidity is currently a huge issue, there has been rain 24/7 since yesterday, so keeping humidity at oround 30-40% is impossible. Currently at about 55% - I know, it is too much but there is nothing I can do.
Not a lot happened - bought some sticks to help them with the weight of the buds, otherwise I did not do anything. They had enough water due to the flushing last week, going to water them tomorrow. Harvest is in 6 or 7 days, reduced the lightcycle to 8 hours for the last week.
