I’m in that boat and have NOT studied horticulture, just have some good practical knowledge from working in the green industry. I watered/fed yesterday with 5.9 and runoff was 6.9!!
I feel like my whole grow is going to shit. I was going to start a new thread later. Got some shit to do. So...
I’m guessing you meant a week before flower, not a week before harvest.
I’d say supercropping, topping or any training is risky unless your plant is kicking ass.
I’d get them back on track with their feeding and in the meantime, try to use some methods to reduce upward growth.
One pretty...
Light burn has been dogging me hard lately, so I’m researching the hell out of it. I don’t think yours looks like light burn. Best way to tell is look at a leaf that has another leaf laying right on top of it. If it’s light burn the bottom leaf will be greener where it was protected by the top...
This is what plant training is all about. Pruning and bonding. Read up on topping, low stress training, and defoliating. Try some of them out ONLY after your girl has returned to a vigorous, healthy, rapidly growing state. Sickly plants will not respond well to training. And start slow. But...
I grow short stalky plants and do lst too. Your plants look happy. You generally don’t want any part of the plant actually touching the soil, it can encourage pest and disease problems. Remove any leaves that are touching the soil and try and do your bending so stems aren’t touching either...
Water it thoroughly with plain, pH’ed water and turn your light way way down. If you can turn your led off and just shine a lamp on it even better. It’ll come back.
Also humidity at 90% is waaaay to humid. Only unrooted clones like that type of RH.
I’ve pasted this link a few times today already! http://www.just4growers.com/stream/temperature-humidity-and-c02/vapor-pressure-deficit-the-hidden-force-on-your-plants.aspx
Climate is so important and is so...
Hey, so I have a couple suggestions for you.
Firstly, your humidity is too low for such high temps. I like to generally use the VPD chart in this link as guidance for temp and RH...
No such thing as a brown thumb. You just haven’t taken the time to learn about how to grow great weed. Read more, study more, read some more, until things start to make more sense. You’ll get it if you put the effort in.
I like your easygoing attitude about your grow! Me, I obsess over making my grow as perfect as possible. That being said, I’d never grow in those conditions.
Check out the video in this link. Read the article too if you’re up for it...
Crazyboy101, I used this site a lot when I was learning about the basics of cannabis cultivation: http://www.growweedeasy.com/
I’ve worked as a gardener and nursery worker for years, so obviously that helped, but indoor cannabis growing is pretty unique. That site is a great place to start...
I have been lazy about emptying saucers under my air pots too, cause I figure the roots are suspended slightly above the water line, but once I smelled some funk and that scared me enough to never let it happen again.
I bought a 2.5 gallon shop vac for $30 at a hardware store, and it makes...
FFOF has a lot of nutrient additives in it already. Adding extra bottled nutes is definitely over feeding.
Also looks like she is ready for a bigger home. Time to transplant.
She’s young and will grow out of these issues, so don’t worry too much. Good luck!
Yeah, I think you’re right, the heavier feed did seem to set it off. Damnit!
I was watering more sparingly in veg, trying to reduce intermodal stretching by letting them run a bit dry. Maybe 5-10% runoff in veg.
I’ve been soaking em more in flower, trying to get the buds to really expand...
