had some temperature problems on this week, due to outside temperatures rising above 30º they started curling and so i had to add some extra nutrients, that being enggy's and bioweed; ended up messing the quantities and gave them a little nut burn (they were super thirsty), after 30m of feeding them they started showing signs of burn.. so I gave them 1L of water each, since i acted quickly, they didn't burn much and recovered fast! after that, i decided to top them, but ended up topping a little more than i should, due to this being a first grow and me being a noob, but they also seemed to recover well!

after all the mistakes made on week 3, they seem to be recovering pretty well. i've been paying attention and trying to expose as many tops to light as possible.. decided to defoliate them as they were getting a little bit too bushy, and lower ends of the plant were not getting as much light

couldn't tend them for last few days of week 4, so they grew out of the scrog. had to place them back in the nets, but they seem very healthy and still ready to grow! ~~ update started the flowering nuts and stopped the growing ones halfway through the week, as they seem ready to start flowering!

Have been having some heat problems (i think??) as some of the leaves are clawing.. 2 of the plants seem not to handle the higher temperatures (28/29 ºC max) as well as the other 2, that seem very healthy.. am trying to figure out how to deal with heat, but haven't found a very good option as to what to do during the hot hours of the day

as i said last week, I am still having trouble with 2 of the plants, as these 2 seem to be having heat stress (or some other thing i can't really figure out).. the ones that claw, one day after watering seem to be fine, but start to claw as the time goes by.. the other 2 seem very healthy.. i am giving them 1.5L every 3/4 days depending on how moist the soil is..

i seem to be having problems with 2 of the plants as the leaves on the 2 left ones are drooping. they start rising whenever i water them, but start drooping 1 to 2 days after.. i am giving them 1,5L every 3/4 days depending on how moist the soil is.. they also have a different tone of green than the other two, which i'm not really sure what it's about.. the leaves on the two left ones also seem much thinner than the ones of the right.

Can someone help me identify what could be the problem i'm facing in 2 of my plants? 2 photos on week 8 that show the problem.. they are drooping. whenever i water them they seem to lift and look "half healthy", but one day after, they start clawing again..

I'm with gm.. You need to lower the nutes badly.. I probably wouldn't flush I would just do an extra watering.. Make sure you always get at least 20% runoff when you water. My guess is they are under-watered badly.. 👊

Dont flush , and also dont put the finger in the soil to know when to water that make no sense , just think in this https://gyazo.com/30590d1bd137bc1fbd4a4b6ae30b865b My honest tip is for what im checking here looks like u are in 11L pot and u are giving them only 1,5 L , just fill the hole pot and them wait for atleast a week or more U cant ask for a recipe to know when to water is alot of think to involve but i recomend u to think in this : u should know that the plant doesnt want to be wet all the time, even more the plant wants more dryness than wetness so the first time that u can make that happen is if u wait atleast 5 days because if u water in day 1 , day 2 , 3 and 4 are "dry days" and then 5º day u water thats atleast the minimun time ,if u are filling the hole pot whit water and it takes less than 5 or 4 days u know is time to transplant is hard to explain but that the key to not overwater. And my last tip is dont trust everyone thats whats good growers does Goodluck

You have a magor nitrogen overload. I would flush her if you can and get the ppm lowered down substantially. Then you need to let them dry after watering, at least 2 inches down. Cheers

I had to like for your effort alone. Props for understanding that you do not need to have 100's or 1000's of Watts to grow your own budget crop with great results. I got a plant sitting under 300 Watts LED and the results are fascinating. So far for me replacing the traditional MH/HPS setups =) Good work & Great luck ~~~ ~~~~~~

@Omahoney_Canna_Thusiast, Thanks man! It's a work in progress, nonetheless, i'm super happy with the results so far. Being that this is my first grow, I'm trying to learn more than I'm actually expecting something great. Have a good one! 😀
