They look like you are only watering the center of the pot. Make sure you are watering evenly. You want the plants to make use of the entire pot.
How are these looking

I topped them a little after, to even them out a little. Going to probably get some of those clay balls. Watered and felt it all on the sides of the cloth. About 20% run off. Figured topping them after wouldn't hurt. Probably could have sprayed it

Clay balls =hydroton aren't for soil
It is for hydro
No clue what the benefit would be to you in soil?

Not sure if it's clay but my friend uses some. Keeps the top from drying out and when he feeds it doesn't make ditches from the water. He feeds a bunch at a time so no time to constantly be filling in.. also meant to keep the soil cooler

NOPE
If that were true we would all use them
They are a pain to dispose of and I've never liked using them in hydro let alone soil
Think stepping on a lego two years after you quit using them

You need to water/feed them all at once. A little water here and a little more there equals overwatering. Need to evenly water the entire pot at once and let it dry.

I think you misunderstood
I water them when they need it. About once every 3 days or so. I put more mix on top but the inside didn't need it because it was already higher up from the transplant if that makes sense.

Looking nice and healthy.
What kind of exhaust fan do you use? Passive intake?

Right now just using a 6in exhaust with carbon filter. I am getting a ac infinity to bring in fresh and control the temp better. It's sitting at at 77-82 f
25-28 c which is fine for veg with the extra c02 but need to get that under control before bloom

Those temps are fine. I thought that science experiment in the front was something to do with CO2. You might as well not bother as you are exhausting the air in the tent anyways.

Honestly the air exchanges every minute(ish) which is enough time for them to take in the extra c02. Works amazing with broccoli too, heavy eaters

Well plants looks healthy anyways. Don't know enough about CO2 other than I've heard it's not worth running unless you are in a sealed space.
I'm going to start a variety of hot peppers later next week. I've only grown cannabis so it's bound to be a learning experience lol. Nice crops.

Nice man!! They're pretty easy to grow, never had any problems. I live in canada so it's cold here but it still grows amazing.. look into splicing your plants so you can have 3 or 4 different peppers growing on one plant!

Looking good.Day 11 of flower. Had to add a 6in intake to cool down the tent. Scrog netting where possible. Looks a little yellow from the light but definitely white hairs

I was catching up with the thread abd when I saw your first net pic I was gonna comment about tucking but you’ve done That by this one so well done.
I’ve just dedicated my own room to a full scrog with 2 plants.

Woah they look great! Good work man, great when the effort pays off. Trying to keep them as leveled as possible. I have another scrog next to go up when the buds start coming. I like your water system! I'd love to get an explanation on how you run it

Thanks. I’ve been around the block a few times lol.
I explain the parts etc in here
My first whole room SCRoG
Hey everyone. I guess a little late to the party with a thread for this one! Lol. I figured it may be nice for some to see the progression of a SCRoG since around the 26th April 2021 The pics begin after i have topped and then cloned one of the tops. some statistics of the grow so far. to...
rollitup.org
Been growing for the last 12 years but only just dedicated a full room scrog.

Basically the watering system is
Hailea HX1500
13mm ID flexi hose
13mm T connectors
the rest is self explanatory based on the pics in the thread.
I’ve only just implemented it and I’m working out timing etc.
full flow on the pump is 6mins to runoff.
half flow is 8mins to runoff.
tonight I’m trying lowest flow to see if that slows down to 15mins as i have a 15minute segmental timer.
then if that’s still too much flow I will remake the drip rings but with only a few holes rather than the 5 it currently has.
