My pots are still taking about 5 days to be ready for more feed. Today is my tea day im going to be feeding less volume more times. Should i do that with my teas also? Or do you go until saturation with the tea? Im having a really hard time with my RH. Im thinking about getting a humidifier for my water line and tossing that in the room. But then again my water is chlorinated so im kinda stuck on what to do. When my humidifier runs out rh is dropping to 35% and my temps are at 80-82.

You can water teas into to saturation but in your case with pots staying moist longer, I would back off the volume a little....nothing crazy, you still want to get those microbes throughout. Environment is tricky at certain times of the year. You can foliar spray water a few times a day but that's labor intense or hang a wet towel on a side wall, put a lot of water in the tent. Usually once I have a full canopy in the tent, the plants raise my humidity. Might want to lower your feed ppms to prevent buildup from slower uptake. Gotta just work with your environment.....less feed, less volume - more often!!
if you have a floor fan use that around your pots get air moving below and a fan at above the tops ... how close are your pots to each other ? ..... just ordered a worm fam kit from uncle Jims worm farm .... next month I gotta get a 3x3 tent my other is 10 yrs old and falling apart..lol.

@loop718 Maybe transplant a plant and take a picture of the roots? If you have one thats ready/close. So we can see whats happening down there. The roots maybe just recovering still from over watering.
I think its compacted soil in the center. But thats my 2cents without seeing. That is what happened with mine. It was so sad. I pulled them out of the pots and they were still holding the cube shape from the pot before. Always wet, no point to grow roots.

Here is something also important;
Flowers
Fruits
Stems
Leaves
Roots
In that order always. Root production to a plant is the least important thing to it. We have to do everything we can to take care of the plant so it builds roots. Give it enough energy to take care of the top 4 things. At the end of the day a plant is going to try reproduce to keep the species alive. Its all about energy conservation to the plant. Thats why i love foliage feeding early veg. I want every drop of root production i can get out of her.
You damage any of those things and the below ones go into slow down mode in order to reproduce... silly plants. sex sex sex. Thats all they think about.

emailed scott He said just give less volume. Dont up the nutes feed less more times. I have 3gal pots with small plants my roots arent even poking out the bottom yet. Scott said give 2/3 of what i was giving before until theres more roots to dry the pots up. The plants look good the slurries are in the 200s and the soil is ready to feed. Just a case of over loving early plants basically. So he said the same thing you guys said.

Yessir ill be doing transplants in a couple weeks ill snap a pic and post it so you guys can see. I don't think the soil is compacted i filled pots very loosely and feed with a pump sprayer. So its a fine mist im watering the soil with.

Sweet. Are you using a high perlite mix? I drown anything with less than 30% perlite when im trying to do multi weekly feedings.
Hope you get it figured out bud.

QB are bad ass!! Amazon has some nice off brand and MARS has a couple nice ones. HLG or Chilled pucks are top of the line. They are the future of growing.....there will be bans on HID light across the country eventually. Fort Collins Colorado already has done it.
yes ! ..... don't need to follow the feed schedule as much as following the #s and plant ...i

Thanks man! Im using nftg #4 soil. Over all the grow is going really good. The plants are looking really green and healthy. Just pots staying wet a cpl days too long. Soil ph is 6.4-6.8. Ppms are 100-200. Im feeding 800-900 ppm full strength mid veg and there eating it all every time. Im confident if they grow a little more they will be sucking the pots dry lol.

No way!! Thats Awsome. I have a buyer for my p1200 and it would buy me 2 of these. Would this replace a 1000w hps?

QB's and COBs are what I use. They are stupid bright with minimal heat.
The HLG 550 R spec can do it!! This being a copy I'm sure its not all top bin parts but for the price, DAMN! You will have fun growing with that light, so much nicer working under that spectrum and the plants will soak it up.

Not that bad from what i have seen on reddit. Everybody says there legit and stupid cheap.
