Hey guys, ladies are in flower!! Mon went camping, before camping mom watered wit calmag and no food even tho ladies were still slightly moist. Came back a few days later and they had yellowed up quite a bit. Mon isn't sure if he over watered and they yellowed up from being too wet or if there isn't enough food? Mon gave them food when he got back roughly just over half strengh but they still seem to be hungry and yellowing is still moving up.

What do all you guys think? Does mon feed em harder or does mon need to let em dry out more? Dry out more and feed harder, full strength? Thanks in advance!!View attachment 3640164View attachment 3640165 View attachment 3640166

Do you have a ph meter for soil? If not get a little soil from a few inches down in your pot and mix it 50/50 with distilled water in a clean cup and check your ph, it's much more accurate than measuring run off. If your plants are staying dry it's probably ph. Have your plants got real dry this month? If your medium has coconut fibers in it, that could be the cause, ph is hard to fix after that. The funky ph could be caused by several things but it sounds like ph is your problem if they're hungry and won't dry up.

I transplanted 3 Slo2's into the LL patch today. Roots said the timing was just about right.

It was 34F with a pretty good frost Tuesday morning. I washed the frost off the plants with a spray bottle before the sunshine hit them. They seem alright, but with a little more color. I'm still worried about early flower. We are just up to 13 hours of visible light.

Found these 15gal fabric pots at dollarama for $3 each. Very well built with a double layer on the bottom. They're really squat so I'm gonna stack them 2 or 3 high to make 30-45 gallon pots

So I'm pretty sure I've posted this before but...

(from AliExpress Android)

These only go up to about 10 gal but you can email the manufacturer and custom order any size you like. All these pots come from China and get repacked anyways, so why not go straight to the source? $3.60 for a 10 gal pot is pretty good, I bet the 50 gal+ pots are a steal.

Getting shit going, ordered my new greenhouse, amended already bomb soil, and got a few baby autos already growing. Can't wait to start my real grow. Each of the big holes are 7 foot by 7 foot by about 5 foot deep. Pulled 5 pounds dry off my biggest last year and the soil is even better this year, all organic. Also renewed my rec. Vaping up then going for a run.

No they dry up just about every other day but the last time Mon watered they were not fully dried up because it had been raining for a few days and not that sunny. Since Mon was leaving for a few days and it was gonna be sunny Mon watered before the top dried, like mon normaly does.

Don't have ph meter but yes mon normaly waits for the top to dry before watering and its coco. Mon thinks maybe watered too soon, coco has never dried out too much, just when the top one inch is dry, then mon waters.

Nice thanks for the link jozi. im sure some of the guys with huge pots will really benefit from the custom sizes. Treeman sent me a really cheap link lastyear for smarties but with shipping to Canada and the exchange rate, it was still fairly expensive for me. I've sewn these ones together and cut a hole in the top, I think they'll be the perfect size for my yard now. They're right around the 40 gal mark now for a cost of 6 bucks so I'm pretty happy.

I have 4 plants growing under lights and the fifth plant was left to survive with limited winter sunshine, and being from the pacific north west, the sunshine is rather limited

To my surprize she's pre-flowering but yet the days are getting longer..... I guess it's like starting from 12/12
No idea what's going to happen to this gal once the daylight starts getting more than 12 hours/day

I have found 13 1/2 hours of daylight is what it takes to keep them in Veg. A couple of mine were showing signs of early flower yesterday, so it looks like I started too soon too. They will revert back to veg when the days get longer. It will slow them down a little, but on the bright side, you get to see what sex they are.
