I appreciate the help friend, I was hoping I could tuck my way to success, but no matter what they just popped right back up lol. Now all the tops are in the light, so I will post updates in a few days when they have perked up.you will be able to tell a difference in a day or two
at one point they just get to big lolI appreciate the help friend, I was hoping I could tuck my way to success, but no matter what they just popped right back up lol. Now all the tops are in the light, so I will post updates in a few days when they have perked up.
Hey man! Big difference! As I am sure you saw and pointed out, no matter how I tucked it wasn't good enough, they indeed just get too big eventually. Here is a canopy shot of how the branches are catching up now that they aren't being shaded.Hey bro could you tell any difference after the trim
Hey there! Yeah I will wait next time to see how they go, I am so used to culling I didn't think twice, but I will next time I promise. My next run is going to be a 10 seed run, not entirely sure what it will be yet I have to make that decision (but I THINK "Bella Vista"), but as soon as these girls leave this tent they are going to be replaced with 10 more.Hobbies are fortunately easy to get back to. And this one is moving along nicely I see
RIP HermieI would also wait or pluck and wait as twice I had big bad ass girls from plants that looked like a male (her/him/they) lol

You are correct, I have very recently changed my watering practices as I think I was drowning them, as did another user much like yourself. Living Soil is harder than coco, and thank you for dropping by and letting me know <3 I am greener than my grass on living soil and that is just a fact and will be a fact until I get a few grows under my belt with this stuff. I refuse to go back to H&G nutrients with coco. I run 3 tents when I get going and I refuse to mix nutrients up daily again >.< .Nice! They are looking healthy, but they seem to be a bit over/under watered by watching the leaves. What pots, how much water and how often do you water? Its not a big deal, once they get back on track the leaves return to their original state, I cant see any permanent damage. Maybe Im wrong but when I see them like that I know that, in my case, I overwatered them and it looks more like overwatering than underwatering but it can be pretty similar.
It has been quite the change, I had no idea how far LED had come, but it has been a long time since I had an LED light. I'm very happy with its performance, and the lack of heat coming from it is so surprising. My globes were also atomic reactors lol.You and me in similar boat I see. I also find my way around LEDs :D Slowly I don't miss atomic reactor sun
Yes I am finding that too, the hard way sadly, but they are happy right now which is good and lesson has been learnt. They are almost dry now thank God.And very good advice taken due watering. I dry out to the point that when I lift them they feel like pots filled with dry perlite and medium only. They love it in the soil. From what I noticed so far on LED there's less watering than HPS so we got to be careful
a good rule is to germinate 20%-25% more seeds than you need to fill the space in your tent.Exactly. Maybe if I had planted all my 10 pack of my seeds I would have had 5 good choices right now instead of just deciding to plant 4 and hope for the best and end up with 3 lol. Next time I am planting every seed in the pack.
That is a very good rule to stick by, my next run I will be busting all 10 seeds out. I have lots of fem packs now, as well as almost twice as many regular strains so I can work on male-female breeding (opposed to STS spray for eg) when I am back in the swing of things.a good rule is to germinate 15%-20% more seeds than you need to fill the space in your tent.
and even like that, a bad batch of seeds can happen once in while.
i need 8 plants to fill my tent so i always germinate 10-11 seeds in case something goes wrong early on.
Now that i have hundreds of seeds from a previous grow where i missed to remove all the males preflowers bottom of the canopy with one phenotype that pollinated the others i also launch some of thoose seeds each time in case i need some replacement.
i had two batch of seeds, i kept the first300 400 seeds batch i had in normal environnemental condition it's roughly 2 years old, i germinate roughly 20 each grow each two month and i m currently monitoring when the germination rate will start to drop , i have a second batch of 200 seeds 1 year old that i put in the fridge at 4°C i will start to germinate those seeds whenever i run out with the previous batch or if the germination rate drop significantly with themThat is a very good rule to stick by, my next run I will be busting all 10 seeds out. I have lots of fem packs now, as well as almost twice as many regular strains so I can work on male-female breeding (opposed to STS spray for eg) when I am back in the swing of things.
I have only ever done pheno hunts and kept clones of my favourite, and getting seeds for me was NOT easy this time. I have them in their original packets, and inside 2 mason jars with a cup of dry rice in each, but all the seeds also have their own plastic packets inside a mylar baggie. I am considering buying a small freezer to keep 1/2 or 2/3 of them in for long term storage.
Do you do anything special for seeds you might not pop for 3-4 years? Before now I was able to just order seeds whenever I wanted them, but that is not the case anymore so I bought what I could, and cant make another order.
This was the number I heard for long term storage, 4°C. Everywhere I looked said something around that number for storage, thank you!. I also read about protocols for retrieving them from the fridge, letting them cool down to room temperature etc.i have a second batch of 200 seeds 1 year old that i put in the fridge at 4°C i will start to germinate those seeds whenever i run out with the previous batch of if the germination rate drop significantly with them
Thank you! I have saved that link and text now.here's a good article about storing cannabis seeds that cover the most important points:
Hey there thank you for joining in! Haha this is something I will have to do, raising the pots off the ground. The heater is working, yes, but I think the ground may be too cold which the heater wont help being outside the tent, so I am going to take that advice. 5 days ago I flipped my saucers upside down so the bottom of the pots were in air circulation and not on the floor, but getting them off the floor all together and above the vents might be better for dealing with my current weather. My inlets bring in warm air, but the ground is cold >.< so I will address this properly.My way of having nice and proper dry/wet cycles in soil is raising the pots - using hot pot mats from kitchen for bigger capacity plants or small legged transition pots that don't touch the ground for starters.
You know it! Yes, we are in week 3 of being in their veg pots, so they are 1 week away from going to their new pots, and their flower tent shortly after. I have a Gorilla 5x5 that is like 8 years old but it is in perfect condition and I love it so I didn't replace it, a lot of memories with that tent. I have a large fan for above canopy that attaches to a tent wall rack, and I have clip fans for below.Are you upsizing them soon? I think they deserve it. Nice, strong plants you have there
I went from 20 liters regular textile pots and this last grow I changed to 25L TUBULAR textile pots. Not only I have more space in the tent now but they grow way better and bigger! I have a leaf that is as big as my head hahaha. Consider that too, the bigger the pot the bigger the plants, and tubular pots are great, roots love growin downwards more than they do horizontally.Hey there thank you for joining in!

I am unsure of whether I will use 20L pots or 28 litre pots I have for flower though. I only have 3 plants so I am considering 28 litres instead of 20.
