2nd grow need help.

[MannyPacs]

They range from 78-80 and watered two days ago, usaully after I water i can water on the 4th day

Where are you measuring that temp? if you can check leaf surface temp that would be best. If you don't get the leaf temp up the plants won't eat/drink properly. That size plant should be watering every 2-3 days

I have a littler monitor on the ground, I should probably hang it around top of canopy

 

[Farmerbob93]

I water every other day,sometimes on the third day.
1 liter of water lately each plant slowly, slight Runoff.
5gal pots...week three flower.

Suggestion water those girls until the drain pans fill with water BUT don't drain them, wait a couple hours to see if water soaks up..... If so the soil was dry.
If not the soil is plenty wet, so empty pans and let soil dry out.

I’ve tried slowly watering with one liter each and I don’t get any run off so lately I have been watering more, I had littler roller trays on top of my drain pan I took them off to do exactly what you just said, they didn’t soak any up last watering

My plants didn't like my ts2000 at 18 inches and full power until flower or about a week in. Mine were 24 -26 inches from light at 5th and 6th week of veg.

You said you raised the light before but then lowered it back down

It was at 18 it’s been at 24 for a little while now

Tried less water this time and the droopy one looked better this morning but drooped right back down this afternoon. Super stressful not sure what is wrong. I watered about 3/4 gallon each super slow

 

[EpicBagseed]

My next test that I would do is raise the light to 30 inches and see how she reacts over a few days.

You have new growth shoots out the top.
(Getting water correctly.)
But droopy under for a couple nodes.(light stress?)
New growth is going to like it because they are all still vertical, but once they open and lay flat they receive too much and shy away.

Your humidity is too low for the stage your at you want it at 60rh or even 70rh at veg. When you get to mid/late flower 40rh is good.

Yeah I’ll raise the light, but yeah just the tops. I’ll give it a try thanks!

I’ll raise the humidity thanks!

Check out a vpd chart your in the red with those numbers I'm quite sure that's a big part of your problem. Obviously depending on strain and certain growers can manipulate these numbers but most of the charts are good to follow.

I’m honestly new to that stuff I’ll have to look into it thanks for the help

Here is a good set of VPD charts to look at, pay attention to the leaf temp at the top of the page to dial in your VPD.
They helped me out immensely setting my new (old) room up with new lights.

Have had issues for a little while now. Top of plant is droopy but bottom is fine? My other one is a tad bit better. I had ph issues with water I got them figured out now. Watering ph of 6.3. Watering 2 -2.5 liters every 4 days. They are in fox farm ocean forest soil, 5G pots and Mars hydro tsw2000 about 18” above. Temps are 78-80 rh 45-50. Can’t seem to figure it out.

Your not over watering your underwatering them. At that with the light you have , there need is about a gallon a week. Watering 2.5 every four days is giving the lower branches what they need and stressing the top branches out because of the mars hydros leds. That is why there drooping. It took me three grows to learn that and had the same issue. Turn your dial to 40 percent at veg. 75 at preflower Go ast 75 toward your first flush. What nutrients are you giving them and what strain is it your growing. I have the mars hydro 2000 and when I used that light , it dried my pots in two days. I mainly leave it at 30 % and use it for seedlings now. Good luck mate.

Also you need to drown that whole pot with a gallon of ph adjusted. so the roots will reach farther. As soon as you add a whole gallon of water, they’ll pray to the light three or hour hours later. Let them dry out and drown the pot again.

 

[Holeleeshet]

Get a wetting agent like yucca.

What was the pH issue you had that you said you solved. Because one of my first thoughts is pH along with the dry spots.

I Agreed with you panda , they look they are praying for water. 75 and 54 is bad news for dry pots with plants that size lol. I finally grew a run with the black magic 5-5-5 all purp and that shits the tits. Only thing I didn’t like about it was the calcium was synthetic instead of organic like Gia green. It Made my super skunk autos yellow off a few weeks early.

Okay thanks for the help! Lights come on in 2 hrs I have dial ready at 40, today’s my water day so I’ll try a gallon each. And that’s what I use for nutes

And sorry they are ethos seeds, the punch line

What I like to use is a $14 Harbor Freight garden sprayer, works awesome and allows you to spread your water evenly. I haven't had an issue with any of my plants having dry spots in any parts of the soil, spray, and let it sink, repeat until runoff. I found it much more effective than trying to pour water in, or using a plastic bottle with holes in the cap. Also, once my plants hit outside, sprayer will double for IPM spraying, since I'll have some big plants this year.

How many gallons does it hold?
