They are still growing with just the original soil mixture and water. I have watered with tap water left out with some ascorbic acid to get the ph down and also to neutralize the chloramine. Been watering every other day. Accidentally lost track of days and watered them two days in a row and they looked a bit unhappy so I let the dry out a bit over the next 3 days and now back to every other day.
Blue Critical still has some odd colours but it's growing strong and the new growth looks better.
I want to try some low stress training soon. especially on the white widow xxl which is growing bigger than the others.
@Ferenc, Thanks,
You got any tips for not overdrying?
Everything I've read says when the smallest branches snap. They sweet skunks have been hanging for 5 days and all branches just bend. No snapping.
Good Morning.
Droopy leaves occur with both under watering and overwatering. If the leaves feel dry and are slightly thin, it's under watering. If the leaves feel full and seem bloated, it's overwatering. Looking at your photos they seem to be puffy, so most likely you're using too much water, especially if your note about giving each plant a gallon each day is accurate.
Back to your data notes again, it sounds like you're continuing to feed with both the original all purpose fertilizer and have added the Bloom fertilizer as well? If so they're probably getting an excess of nitrogen. They're still growing and need some nitrogen for a few more weeks, but if you're giving both, that's causing the nutrient stress.
Also, I noted that you said you've been tucking some of your leaves to expose the lower buds, but I couldn't see any on your photos. This is a key time to get all those dozens of under-canopy buds exposed, so if you can't do it by tucking, you'll need to do some aggressive pruning.
If you haven't done so yet I suggest you Go to the GrowWeedEasy site and review their "Problems and Symptoms" link. They have an excellent section on diagnosing your problems complete with good photos. The last time I checked, Nebula Haze and her team had 500+ tutorials. Just be careful not to be one of those folks who go to WebMD and imagine they have every illness know to science!
All of this said, you've been doing a great job with your girls, and I love the methodical and detailed entries...librarians obviously are detail oriented!
You're doing great, so don't stress out and enjoy the ride.
Take Care.
Not a big deal snapping off the main stem. Happens to everyone who trains their plants. If anything, it was an unintentional topping and gives you an opportunity to see how the plant reacts to topping.
