Moved the kids into a much larger tent - 3.3'x3x3'x6.5' from a 2'x2' (103x103x200xm). I couldn't get the humidity down as there was no space in the old tent for a powerful dehumidifier which this one now has - I have it on a low setting and the humidity came down nicely (went to 40% on max power so I am good to go for when it comes time to flower). The downside is the tent is tall so my light cannot go down to the planned 18"/47cm above the canopy, it's sitting at 21"/54cm, so to compensate I took the complete random guess to increase the light intensity of my light from 75% to around 85/90% - I mean they should be getting lots of sun now they have lots of leaves, right? From a nutrient perspective, I have kept Fish-Mix at 2ml/l, instead of 1ml and adding BioHeaven, as I am running low on Bioheaven and its about 4 times the price. I gave a proper redo on the training. 2 plants are ready for flower but instead I am going to keep training them out to see how many side notes I can get on the mainline. Expecting 2-3 side-cola pairs on tome of the main-cola stems. This is all guess work. The others have now new growth coming through after topping I will maybe flip them into flower in 1 week time (start of week 7) or in 3 weeks time. Excited to see how they grow out in the last few weeks of Veg

How far am I from “Vegetative state” so that I can start using fertiliser and switch my light to 50% intensity

Once the seed sprouts its in Vegetative State. It can be a sprout, and young plant or a mature plant all in the time it is in veg, it just depends on its age. Photoperiods only switch to flower when you give them 12/12 light cycle. Its the uninterrupted darkness that does this. that's why you can keep a photoperiod plant in veg for years on 18/6 as the darkness is not longer enough. 50% dim for seedlings sounds ok, but cannabis can take a DLI of aorund 40 from seed, so give it all it can handle for maximum output of growth. I would not go above 40DLI though as it requires more CO2 and other enviroments to be in control. If you have any PPFD maps for your light at different hang heights and intensities "dim settings" you can figure out your DLI that way and get its in a ballpark range. I have to run my twin lights at aorund 60% to get 40DLI on 12/12 schedule. Good Luck!

I upped the nutrients to week 2 of veg state (biobizz) and put the light to 50% intensity. I put the light at 6 inches above recommended height (which is recommended on the Mars Hydro website for beginners). . IS THIS NUTE BURN OR LIGHT BURN?

I'm not familiar with your nutes, but I think you're probably going too hot(strong) too soon. A plant this age barely has a root zone big enough to absorb anything to begin with, coco or not. With the nute line I use I'm barely using a teaspoon total per gallon on a young plant and you're pushing over 8 tsp per gallon. Feed light until either growth picks up or you are getting pale leaves, which tells you it's ready for more. You can't just load up a plant with nutes that's not ready and expect it to take off. Your first couple weeks are about building a root zone.

FC 3000 - 66% 18" 18/6. over 12/12 bump to 100% from same distance. May need 19" but will take a long time to see any bleaching of buds. If you see any bleaching, 19" is probably better at 100% power and 12 hours of operation. If giving more than this, consider backing off. It may take a while for a light-stunted plant to recover.. may take a week in some cases. The FC-sereis of lights are powerful relative to the area they cover. You can use CO2 with these lights if the focus on grow area is sized right. So, it's easy to stunt plants with these lights when just relying on ambient CO2. the early weeks are tough to see, but looks like they got a bit too much light, which may be why they are a bit slow. A top-down view is not the best, but just in case, i am mentioning it. you can see better in real life whether the nodes are too tightly spaced or not. training leaves is fine, but make sure the top of the leaf is not shielded from light. Don't worry if the leaves shield the early branching. Light hitting all that surface area is FAR more important than any anecdotal reason to let light hit axillary buds more.

Hi buddy forst of all that is not nute burn by my eye anyway that seems to be sypmtoms of overwatering to me. I understand my fellow growers outrage. You are growing photoperiod plants so training early can be a good idea though you haveto weight up weather stunting a plant a seedling stage is worth the waste of time in growing when you could of been patient and topped them at a larger size so they did not stress so much. I would just use normal water for a few days and they let them growing like gotta said the best tool we have as growers is patience plants take time to grow and the more you in there fiddling around the less time they have to grow nice lol best of luck anyway ease up of the feed and if you dont wanna do that always follow your nutrients feed table its all there for you :)

Hi there. I have just bough the FC-E 3000 and I run it in a 3x3. I have a 2x2 and run a 200w. To address the heat I would dim your light first. In veg you want about 20-30w per square foot and in flower no more than 50w. I would start dimming your light right down, get a smaller light or a bigger tent. Either bring air from outside or exhaust outside. Never have any water laying in trays or puddles. I was thinking of putting the 300w in the 2x2 or the tsw but it's just too hot. Try a phone app for light intensity. A dehumidifier does also help. If you can have it to drain constantly it helps as they fill up quick. Plants only use about 3% of water you give so have this in mind when sizing the dehumidifier

Better intake and out take fans is the key to lower humidity or you can bite the bullet and buy a small de humidifier that is another option there is always the option of adding more air curculation fans to try and get the warm moist air out the tent quicker the choices are yours buddy best of luck :)

Hey man, go look at my diary “organic autos round 2” these look and sound similar to what was crawling on the outsides of my fabric pots. I did spray the plants and fabric pots one good time with diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide which killed a lot of them but I saw them throughout the whole grow. I really noticed them going crazy after heavy waterings. I also don’t think they even bothered my plant. I saw some going up and down on the lower parts of the stem and some would even get stuck in the lower buds but i think It was because I’d water so heavy they’d have to scurry out of the soil. I wouldn’t worry too much about them unless you are seeing them all over your plant or your plants health declines

Hi grüß dich. Springschwänze kommen erst beim Gießen an die Oberfläche und springen wenn Wasser an der Oberfläche ist. Sobald das Wasser einsickert, laufen sie eher an der Oberfläche und suchen sich den Weg zurück in die Erde. Springschwänze ernähren sich in der Regel von totem material. Solange deine Pflanze ein gesunden Eindruck macht, sind die Springschwänze kein Problem.

greater distance but new light.. missing some details to know if it is more or less light.. insufficient as is to draw a conclusion from this information. however, after transplant i find plants can slow down slightly at first and have nothing to do with shock or anything like that... the roots search out new confines of the new pot before growth above really kicks in. Bigger the difference in pot sizes at translplat the longer this process takes. still.. ensure intensity of light at canopy is the same... greater distance with more power can still be equal to what was given before (DLI is the metric here to use so that it accounts for differing hours of operation and differing size of garden covered by that light) 35-40 DLI "at diode" is a good starting point for ambient CO2 conditions and typical hanging distances for LED.

Less light intensity = less plant growth..........lower your lights and growth rates should return to normal. Plants can't tell they are in a different tent, but will not like less light from a higher up, less intense lamp.

My thoughts with high RH are that at 70% during lights off will be fine so long as your temps get to low, 20c should be fine, at 16c I'd imagine you will start getting rot or Wpm. This is as long as you are running your exhaust fan and oscillating fans. Your day time Rh and temps are at a decent level. Most of the time I can keep my night Rh around 60% but there are certain times during the year its almost impossible to keep it below 70%.

Not really a huge problem and very simple to solve it. It is clear that you have a calcium imbalance, probably due to two main issues : at the moment perhaps the PH rate is very low (I assume that your PH rate is around 5.8 up to 6, and this rate is not the best for the calcium integration); second measure that you should start to provide right away is linked to the calcium available. You can solve this imbalance in not more than 36 hours, by raising the PH up to 6.3 to 6.5, after that you can provide some CalMag or solve some Bone flour in your watering process and to facilitate the integration of calcium you can put some Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) on the watering solution both by fertirrigation or spraying in foliar sprinkling. You have one of the best liquid kelp supplies on the Cultivers brand (on Amazon) and kelp is a kind of the magic solution for almost every stress or imbalances that you can pass trough your grows. So as I told you you can solve this problem (easily and fast - within not more than 2 days): raise up PH to 6.3/6.4 ; use a little CalMag (important...not a lousy brand but a good one, and preferable a mineral one) and finally use kelp as a stress reducer and as catalysator to calcium integration (the calcium normally is available in much products, but it's vertical availability and the way that is integrated is hard. The last option and once for me was the most optimal (but almost desperate) solution was using what a botanical PhD friend of mine, though me to do as desperate measure, that was to pick tomato seeds, let them fully dry and after that using a Moulinex grinder (the ones that you pull 1-2-3) and make a tomato seeds flour. That flour has a strong compound of calcium, the calcium oxalate that is very solvable in water and highly absorbable by the root system. So I used that once (not on cannabis, but on peppers that have revealed nasty lack of calcium along their growth) and solved my problems, very very fast. So try this and you problems with calcium shortage will be end in few days.

Moin ObserverInterest, Ich growe selbst auf Erde mit Bio Bizz . Deine Pflanzen sehen meiner Einschätzung nach Überwässert aus aber das kann auf Bildern gern täuschen . Wurzeln brauchen nicht nur Wasser sondern auch Sauerstoff deswegen brauchen sie unbedingt auch trockenere Phasen um Staunässe zu vermeiden was Wurzelfäule verursachen würde, zudem kommt kein Sauerstoff mehr zu den Wurzeln, siehts auch mit der Nährstoffaufnahme schlecht aus . Gerade wenn du ein Anfänger bist , fang an in kleinen Töpfen und pflanze dann 2 mal um. Der Vorteil besteht ganz einfach darin das die Wurzeln die Feuchtigkeit schnelle aufnehmen so das du alle 3 Tage gießen kannst und sicher stellst das die Wurzel auch genug Sauerstoff bekommt . Wenn der Topf dann richtig durchgewurzelt ist umtopfen in eine Zwischengröße und dann in den Endtopf . Meine beiden Vermutungen nach gibst du entweder zu viel Wasser oder Düngemittel , da die Wurzeln das was du letzte Woche gegossen hast noch nicht aufgenommen haben , da sie die Erde nicht komplett durchwurzeln . Zudem spielt dein EC wert auch eine Rolle wenn du diesen nicht kennst und normales Leitungswasser benutzt , würde ich nur 1 mal in der Woche Cal/Mag benutzen sowie 1/2 vom Düngeschema anwenden. Meine Empfehlung lass die Töpfe erstmal richtig trocknen , so das die Wurzeln deiner PFlanze trocknen können , aber Vorsicht , der untere Bereich der Töpfe wird warscheinlich nie ganz trocknen da die Wurzeln ihn Schätzungsweiße noch nicht vollständig durchwurzelt haben . Dann würde ich einmal mit , Bio heaven 2ml/l , Acti Vera 2ml/l und cal/mag 0.3 ml/l gießen auf PH 6.3 . das alles nur wenn du mit Leitungswasser arbeitest . Danach dann immer Fortfahren nach 1/2 des Düngeschemas aber nur 1 mal in der Woche Cal / Mag außer du hast einen Mangel . Die Pflanzen werden es aber trotzdem schaffen da bin ich mir sicher . Weiterhin viel Erfolg und Glück .🙏

Plants are looking good Going thru ur diaries. Some basic mistakes. HST is for near the end of pre flower.. unless used for super cropping it adds no extra energy to the plant until its stems stop growing. Until then you're just bending stems slowing veg down. (This is widely done & it's wrong. U don't HST a growing stem as the point needed for the energy boost is to the bud. If that's your point in HST idk. Yes its a tool for scrogs but topping and training the stems under the net and grow up into it is a much faster method. Giving a more desired affect imao.. All in all looking good Once pre flower is over Id start removing those huge leafs from them top bud sites. (Look over your plant as though your site shines down this will help show you were light is not moving down. With scrogs u can't move plants so to stop leafs and buds below from going dead or to larf u have to put the light wheres needed.

Estas bien en intensidad y riego. Estimulante radicular a base de algas, en forma intensa en los riegos te recomendaría. Con una buena base radicular puedes acortar la fase vegetativa bastante, lo cual te conviene por la cantidad de bebes que muestras. Método y constancia es un buen camino hacia buenos humos.

If your grow medium is just coco and perlite then you can start to feed now. If you have any compost or organic matter I would wait for two or more weeks to feed. And the first feed I would go 1/4 to 1/2 of the recommended dosage.
