These guys are about 2.5 weeks into flower. They aren't super tall because I LST'd and topped to keep them short. I grew them from seed at the end of December. It's okay if your pot is big. Just need to adjust your watering. When they are smaller like that pour your water around the outside edges of the pot and don't water a lot.
Well the guy at the store was telling me I'm already into big of a pot for my plant size, and everywhere I read, including it in the Bible it tells me that a plant that size can be in a pot less than half of that size and still be healthy
Around the outside edges and not in the middle? I always pour it everywhere. And what does LST mean? I've talked a couple plants and it's worked out good, but I don't know what LST u around the outside edges and not in the middle? I always pour it everywhere. And what does LST mean? I've topped a couple plants and it's worked out good, but I don't know what LST is. I have a short grow space so it would be best to keep mine as short as possible, so anything that will keep it smaller I'm listening
Oh OK, so you top it, and then a week later just lightly tieback some of the node's to the rim of the pot? To force it to grow outwards instead of up…
I almost had to laugh when I read "the pots I am using are too big". Never would have thought that was possible.
I have watering ritual, you might laugh but ya know what I don't care.
I think you took it the wrong way, either that or I fell for that guys shit Haha. But the way he explained it kind of makes sense, the plant is too small for that pot because when I water it, that whole pot is basically soaked in water, the plant is too small to soak up that much water, so the top of dries out while the bottom of the soil is still soaked, which makes it appear time to water again, so you end up overwatering, so the pot it ends up being too big.
Haha nah man, everyone's got their rituals that work for them. I just needs to learn some that work for me!
I understand why they would tell you that, and yea it makes total sense. However, I believe you can still start with a large pot if you water carefully, just around the stem and not very often, allow it to dry out between waters. Lift the pot, feels heavy, wait. If it feels light, water. The advantage to this is you won't have to deal with any transplant stress.
See I thought it would be better to avoid transplant stress, I even told him that but he told me that I was wrong. And yeah definitely thank you I really appreciate it
You're welcome. I'm with you, I'd much rather avoid transplanting
Yes. You are basically tricking your plant into thinking it has multiple tops instead of one. You can max your yield big time with this method and save yourself on a lot of head room. There are a lot of tutorials on it on youtube.
Looks like it's over watered with droopy leaves. The yellowing on the leaves from the bottom up and dying off looks to be a lack of nitrogen
Any idea how I can fix that nitrogen problem? I've tried giving in different brands of nutrients that have different numbers, I've tried giving it less or more, none of them has made a difference. And one of the Nutes I used was A lot higher nitrogen than the other ones, same issue
