Please help week 4 veg - expert help much appreciated

Hi, I'm on my first grow and would like to know if you guys think my babies are ready for flower, and whether they look healthy or not. Plus if you see anything that would benefit me by changing please let me no.





I topped one at the 6th node and I have two of what looks like main colas, am I correct in saying that?



Here's the next batch, you see anything wrong? They are 1 week old



And finally what you think of my set-up? Missing anything?

They look ready to go. Can't tell if there is any yellowing in the bottom leaves (which would likely be too much/little nutes)
Keep an eye on water with those pots, especially when she takes off when flowering.
Good job!

Thanks, yes yellowing at the bottom but this doesn't improve when I feed? They all have yellowing leaves at the bottom but I give a full feed now with plenty of N so not sure why? All the leaves above are a good healthy colour apart from the odd burn when they grown to fast at night and didn't have chance to move the light

The yellowing won't turn green again, it just won't get any worse if you've corrected the problem. When she flowers she'll double in size and consequently get a lot more hungry, so I'd get confident about nute levels before flowering.
(Or I'd think "Fuck it!" and just go for it...but that kind of advice ain't no good! hahaaargh!)

Yeah thanks for your reply I want them as healthy as possible obviously before flower, They are in new pots only changed them few days ago and since then they have been purking up but I fed heavy two days ago and give them a small top up this morning. I Give them half a ltr each when I water?

And im using a 600w HPS

i would wait at least another week before flower since you just transplanted to bigger pots.
its hard to tell the color of the plants under an hps light. how close is the light? and whats your temps. and humidity?

sounds like to much N

yes this is my 1st ever grow in fact I started a thread that might turn out to be popular maybe you want to check it out?

https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/517053-airpots-advice-experiences-would-you.html

But I would definitely recommend them, they have improved growth 2x

And thanks for the advice on the lifting method of watering will definitely use it

I was feeding very lightly half strength I think the problem was my pots was to small which meant the plant couldn't get the nutes I was feeding or took to much? one or the other

My temps are bob on and my humidity ranges from 35%-60% on watering day. PH is always 6.7-7.0, and I am on full strength feed now, 1ml grow 2ml bloom 1ml topmax per litre. From the Bio-Bizz range.

Yeah just what I was looking for, any advice is great since i'm a first timer. I do think I am doing ok tho, Fingers crossed they are all female btw I have 5 mature plants (4wk) and 6 younger ones (1wk)

other than they are a little bit thirsty... they look absolutely fantastic... very good genetics btw... which hybrids did you choose btw???

when using airpots your soil will dry out faster, regardless of the "patented" shape of the outer cones or holes...

for the "exhaust" you need to have hot air moving out of the room, or if cant expel air you need to allow for cool air to enter the room...

an oscillating fan should be positioned to where it blows the hot air off of the tops of the plants... your fan looks like it is in the position where it is on top only is blowing heat down onto the plants... as opposed how it should be blowing cooler air from either across evenly over the tops or from the bottom up, to blow cooler air towards the top so the heat/cold air circulation can occur...

so be sure if low humidity is happening where it gets under, say 30%... the soil will be that much more prone to having the moisture wicked out of it that much faster...

so if you see them start to droop after the soil seems dry and the pot is light (like grandpa1969 said about the "lift" method) just soak, let droop a little and repeat

good luck and enjoy the grow

They are bagseed, my little one week old ones are exodus cheese and lemoneese. They are growing much faster than the bagseed, but both now seem to be doing well. I think most part is down to the grower and not so much the strain, I topped one of the plants tho and its doing fantastic, lets hope that one's female because I will have 2 colas

i have heard others say the airpots dry out alot quicker then reg pots

Depends on drainage as there is plenty of air available I used less perlite and it seems to hold water well enough probs same as before with regular pots but with bigger dosses of water. Very happy so far, Cant wait to see root development. Will be posting all progress in my airpots thread (Link above), there are a few other guys using airpots, just waiting for pic updates etc.

i use the same lifting method as grandpa recommend it is best way better then the stick you finger in dirt method and keeps u from getting dirty fingers
