Plants tolerated 1/2 strength nutes well last week, so I mixed up nutes for this week at ¾ strength. When I went to feed, noticed roots starting to poke out of sides of bag, so I need to transplant them to their final pot (3 gal fabric). Gelato is susceptible to transplant shock, so I didn't want to transplant and increase nutes on the same day. If plants tolerate this feed well, will transplant on next feed day. (Just saw a grow diary by Tripaholic88 who transplanted Gelato twice in 2 weeks with no problem, so I'm probably being paranoid...but I'm OK with that on my first grow)
Also noticed what could be the start of some heat/light stress, so I raised the light a few inches to compensate for plant growth and get back to approx 24" from top of plants.
Am struggling to keep the humidity up...waiting on humidifier ordered a week ago.
By end of week, thought I noticed the beginning of some tip burn, so I'm going back to nutrients at ½ strength and changing the lights to an 18/6 schedule.
@Ferenc, Thanks...it's all good though. I learned a LOT...I put the males out in my (large, wooded) yard thinking the deer might enjoy it ~ they don't seem to care about it, but I still got to see how they grew out and what effect the topping, LST and HST had ~ more great lessons for later grows. Anyway, thanks for the support. :)
For humidity , easy solution :
1.Plant / frost fleece dome DIY, its just a breathable plastic, but it protects young plants from almost everything except no watering ;))
You can keep plant two-3 weeks easy under it
2. Hanger and wet bath towel, or hoodie, anything fat fabric and big and off course - wet ! Just item starts to stink after couple proper waterings and you will have to water it in your own rhythm, at mines in tent i needed up to 3 fat towels , but it always worked.
I never grow in soiless and have no knowledge, but i guess you started to feed girl a bit too early, she has everything inside of seed for proper up to first two weeks of development. Check this point one more time, especially i don't remember, that you have to use such quantities, even at late stage of flower for plants who brought up to 100 g , i never fed so much as you your little baby, but again i grow in soil, could be wrong...
Good luck !
