The leaves are still very dark green i also think it looks like a slight N tox which you said you recently fed it so that kind of makes sense. Also when the lights are off your plants tend to go to sleep mixed with cooler temps at night can make them look a little droopy. I like to take a look into things at least an hour after lights on then seem to be a little perkier by then.

Ya at the beginning I was concerned when I would see then drooping , once I realized it was a thing they do it was all good. Now I expect it.

I also do as you do, pop in the tent an hour or two after lights on just to go over everything , make sure all it well.


Merry Xmas

Day 35 update

Merry Xmas everyone

Had a few minutes during this crazy hectic day to Do a little LST on all 4 and make sure everything was running smooth.


I think they are ready to up pot to 5gs right away. 2 of them are drying out pots quick, also seeing a little drooping still, either still result from n tox, or maybe they just want a bigger home? Dunno. I would have thought they were wanting food, but only time I fed them they showed signs of N tox and was recommended I use ph water next 2 waterings.

Pics from yesterday

Did a little LST on the 2 biggest (FRUIT PUNCH 1 AND FRUIT PUNCH 2), tied and retied a few branches

Gonna transplant the 2 big girls later today into 5g fabric pots

Canopy is staying flat, the fruit punch have really sprawled outward, the Atomic strain has much tighter node spacing and hasnt been quite so easy to train. I expect this one to really blow up in the last week or 2 of veg and once she is flipped, altho i dont have anything to base that on lol

After transplant

2 biggest are in their final pots. Fruit Punch 1 and Fruit Punch 2

other 2 are fairly dry as well this afternoon, so i think i will transplant those 2 later today. soon time to install screen and start tucking.


will be taking everything out of tent and doing a thorough cleaning/maintenance before i put screen in place. need to install bigger oscillating fans and a couple of other things.

Last 2 transplanted

Everything went well.

Each plant was given 4L of ph'd water
No runoff

Left ties off for day or two, let them relax and settle into new pots before stressing them again.

Won't be long now and screen will be in place and I'll be planning a flip day :)

I have a question. How do you transplant from one fabric pot to another? It seems like all the soil would break away from the roots. This is something that has bothered me for some time now.

It was actually quite painless.

I too was concerned before I started. Watched a few YouTube vids and went to it.

I just cut the pots down side and removed those girls easily, root ball and soil all stayed relatively intact.

5 of these 2g fabric pots only cost like 15.00 so I felt it was safer to just cut them and toss them out, buy more next grow.

Obv will save the 5gs after harvest

Hope that answered your question

They may not grow a bunch for a few days after transplanting. Sometime they get a delay in growing from shock. They will pick back up. Did you add new soil around the soil from the smaller pot? If you did remember it has nutrients in it as well. So dont over do the nutes. They are looking better though. If you put new soil all around the smaller lump of soil from the smaller pot. I'd stay with jus phed water. For another watering.

Yes that's exactly what I did , new soil in bottom of pot and packed all around sides of existing root ball.

your post from earlier had me thinking it might be best to stick with ph'd water for one or two more waterings. Thanks for spreading that knowledge

Hoping to be ready to install screen in a week or so, will prob veg another 2 weeks before flipping.

Today is day 37 from seed

Lights just coming on.

Gonna pull them out of the tent later today and give it a good cleaning and install the bigger oscillating fans.

Will install screen This evening or tomorrow and look to flipping within 8-10 days from now.

Day 39

All keep responding well to the LST

New tops shooting up eveywhere.

Was planning to scrog this run, but am starting to wonder if I shouldn't just let them go this first run. Will need to decide within next couple of days. Either install a screen or just let the Lst I've done grow out.

How’s your temps and humidity these days? Early in the grow you mentioned you were having a tough time keeping above 40%.

Plants look great!

Honestly haven't had an issue since they moved to 2 g pots and using the humidifier. The fabric pots def add a lot of moisture to the tent. as plants are getting bigger they too are creating humidity.

Temps have always been consistant, usually between 77-80f lights on and 70-73f lights off. now since moving to 5g pots the rh is always around 60% lights on and 66-68 % lights off. I have inline fan and 2 oscillating fans running 24/7


I can probably remove humidifier from tent. now to be honest. Will prob need de humidifier for flowering.

Day 40

Flip is delayed a week, topped them all again last night.

Here they are just waking up.

2 of the 4 ( two biggest) are light and will take water later today.

Gonna give the 2 biggest their first feeding since the slight N tox, only second feeding of their lives. Using floranova bloom. Lucas formula.

Canopy is staying decently flat lol
