These girls really looks super happy out there in the sun they look super healthy

Yes she is very compact

@DinafemSeeds, thanks Mark yeah it could have been worse but thankfully they've held up. For outdoors early Spring plants are they on schedule height-wise? They've just started flowering at around 20-35 cms, what height can I expect them to finish at? Weather is now warming up and sun is getting much more intense.

hello pauls, pls put your Og pot on a weigh and tell me the weight.....would be interesting. after doing that put the nl pot on the weigh and tell the ´weigh pls... thy and happy growing

Hey Pauls, you'll see that follow a full wet dry cycle will really start to help. Sometimes the deeper part of the soil take a bit longer to dry out. The knuckle system to measure is good but the best thing you can do is lift. So you wait till the bag is dry and lift it, see how much it weighs. Then water and see how much it weighs then. When the bag is dry just lift it to see if you need a watering. Hope this helps ! :rocket:

@Stick, thanks a lot for the advice. Right now I water 1L approx every 2-3 days - when the soil feels dry up to the first knuckle. 1L in these pots doesn't seem to give much run off, though the soil doesn't seem too compacted to me, it gets fairly fluffy as soon as it dries out. I'm assuming if I added more it would start to drain out the bottom, but 1L feels like enough... This watering routine seems to suit the Northern Lights plant no problem, its just the OG that's causing issues. I gave it a good soaking on the day that the other commenter suggested underwatering, but it just drooped worse through out the day. So I think I can rule that out? Going to try giving it another day or so to fully dry out and see if that helps, that way I could rule out overwatering... Other than that I'm wondering is it light stress as raising the lights a bit seems to have perked it up a little, but it's still not looking 100% (see pics from today, day 50). Anyway thanks again for the advice, I won't mark the comment fixed just yet as like I said I'm still not certain it's watering. If you can think of anything else I should try though please let me know!

Hi @paulsgrows! Well, there's obviously something wrong with your waterings. Either under-watering, or over-watering. Could you please describe your watering routine? (how many times you water each week, volume of water given, how much time it takes for the medium to dry, volume of the runoff, do you check the solution's temperature...). You must apply a wet/dry cycle, so the roots will spread, searching for water. Each phase should be pretty quick, a few hours, a day at max. Theoretically if you're dealing with a continental weather, you should water 2 to 3 times a week, and let the medium dry a bit before next watering. If your medium is really compact and remains wet for a long time, help it to dry with a fan blowing a slight continuous breeze onto the container, you can also stir the outer of the container and try to crumble the soil a bit. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date so we can refine the diagnosis if needed, and happy growing :facepunch:

@DinafemSeeds, thanks for continuing to stop by Mark :) Does it look normal enough for this stage? Any advice on the drooping? Don’t think I’m watering too much...
