I am going to play around with it this week. Thanks!

Patience and small steps.

If you want to add nutes, start small (half what is recommended) and see how the plants respond.

If you want to add more light%, it doesn't matter what I did last grow, or what you did last grow for that matter. Turn it up just a bit, the let it go for a day. If they have issues (yellowing, wilting, curling, whatever) turn it back down and wait. If they like it, add more. But it is better to go 50-55-60-65 etc. daily, than to go from 50%-75% all at once.

Getting in a hurry will almost always have bad results. If your plant has normal issues they will crop up slowly. When we try to kill them by doing too much it happens rapidly!

How much water when I’m giving them water should I be giving? 200ML per plant? Or up it now?

No, because you've got little plants in big pots you want to water right around the seedling until they establish roots, no sense in keeping the whole thing wet right now, at least that's how I would handle it next time start them in smaller containers and then up pot as they grow

Edit: so I went back and looked, and the bigger plants you could probably water the whole pot now, the smaller ones I would still water right around the plant only for a while, or maybe you're more comfortable watering the whole thing, but it's never going to dry and they're always going to have wet feet and they don't like that as much as a wet/dry cycle in my opinion.

I wouldn't start feeding them now, they're nowhere near needing food in ffof soil, wouldn't even consider it for another month at least

Day 25

Update on the last watering I did give 1/4 of the nutrition that the schedule called for. Plants seem to like that. Also started today with the lights at 75%.

At this point you can give em whatever light you want. I veg under 1000 hps and go from that size to three foot wide bushes in a month.

Day 30!

The girls are doing well however recently I have been seeing some small yellow in the leafs and I think it’s a calcium issue. I was going to add some cal mag to the next watering. Haven’t gave them any of the cal mag yet.

Pics below are as of 15 min ago.

Let me know what you all think! Have a good weekend everyone.

Plants seem to be having issues any ideas anyone?

Lay off the nutrients right now. Seen in some of your pics what appears to be nutrient burn starting. Water straight distilled ph right around 6.5 like everyone else has said. As for the curling under maybe over watering, poor drainage.

Its not a big issue, its just some nutes lock out due to over watering or PH issues, your plants will grow out of it. just dont water or give nutes at this stage and once they dry out( check pot weight ) try to give them little bit of water for each plant.

Thanks guys! I’ll try that out!

Day 32

Plants look nice and bushy. Started those stress training and will be topping tonight. Some of the bigger fan leaves stems are looking purple I will show in picture number #1. Plants are currently in 1 gallon pots when should I transfer into 5 gallon?

Current room conditions :
2- 600 watts hid lights at 75%
76 temp
RH 55
1 gallon pots
Ph 6.5
Current grow schedule and pictures below.

Day 33

Looking good this morning! I raise the lights a few inches to make sure they are roughly 17 inches from the top of the plant. Things look good so far.

If it was me ill wait 1 or 2 more week before using both light .1 is way enough.

Plant look happy !

I have both lights at 50% now (lowest the balest will go) so total of 600watts.

Just added CO2 bag. And large fan. See how this works and I’ll let you know.

Also took a few of the leafs that were dead / brown and got rid of them.

Watered on Sunday won’t water again till Thursday.

Anyone else growing GG#4 ? Let’s see!! Or anyone following along let’s see your grow !

Ive got gg4 also,following along.

Here’s a clone I cut 35 days ago. It’s in Hydroton top feed 2 gallon bucket.i have two 50W leds above.

Wow that looks real good man! Do you use any nutes? If yes what brand? I am using fox farm and like it so far.




What size pot should my plants be in? They are in 1 gallon as of now. I am thinking about putting them in the 5 gallon.

Thoughts anyone?

Hydroton or clay pebbles are inert,so ya lots of nutes.Currently at 1200 ppm.My local store sells there own brand of npk.Cheap so I use it.
