this the first night I had her 12 hour darkness. She looks amazing and smells so good! Only thing I was wondering was I had water droplets coming from each little point on every leaf? Did I do something wrong ?
Flipped my plant starting to flower.

Is this bad? If so how can I make sure it doesn’t happen... seems like it used the water I put in it. Soil looks wet still tho?

They went away once I turn the lights on
Oh and just so you know if you don't already you don't count the day you flip to 12/12 the first day of flower. It's when you start to see a cluster of white pistols forming on each bud site. It usually takes a week or two for the plant to transition into flower depending on strain and younger plants can take a bit longer to start flowering.

Well I do. Your method is completely arbitrary; is it the fist pistil you see or the puffball? In the end it doesn't matter, she's done when she's done (personal choice).
OP, you need to figure out the water issue. Maybe water when lights first come on to let them dry out before the dark period. PM is going to be in your future if you don't.

Yeah, I've never seen my plants do that. You have fans going in there to circulate air? I think your humidity has to be higher than that.
I don't think this is transpiration, this is straight water condensing onto your leaves.

Like the puffball not when it's just showing sex but yeah like you said the plant is done when it's done so you don't need to count the days really it's just when ppl say their plants are flowering and they just switched to 12/12 the plant is not actually in flower yet it takes a bit of time to transition into flower but either way it's the same results in the end unless the person chops it going by how long it's been in flower and not by the actual signs that say like pistols and trichomes. So I'm not saying what he's doing is wrong in anyway I'm just saying it technically isn't in flower yet.

Okay so how long should I wait till I start to flower? Im not exactly sure for myself and would like to kno

I do have fans. Turned em last night cuz I was trying to make sure it was dark. I must’ve forget when I walked away
Are you asking how long you should wait till you count it as day 1 of flower? Or how long should you wait to switch it to flower?
If it's the first question I usually count day one when I see a cluster of pistols forming on each bud site not just 1 or 2 hairs that's just the plant showing sex I mean alot of pistols.
But if it's the second question which I think it is. How old is the plant I would veg for at least 6 weeks but I usually veg for over 8 weeks.
It also depends on how much room you have to grow in. I have a 9ftx9ftx8ft room so I can grow mine pretty tall I usually flower mine at 3 feet tall. I widen them out quite a bit with topping LST and a scrog.
With your plant if it was me I would top it a couple more times and just keep spreading it out till it fills the width of the tent then let it grow taller till it's about the size of 1/3 of the tent and switch it to flower. You don't want it to be too tall befor you switch to flower because you want to take into consideration the stretch and don't want the light to be to close and burn your colas.
Oh and sorry for the paragraph I could of probably made that shorter.

The plant is 50 days old today. Also I’m not too sure as of why it doesn’t stretch up towards the lights? I have 500w in the biggest tent. Does growth have to do with the soft ties putting pressure on it? I still haven’t been able to get any of those to replace the staring I got for lst lmao
What type of light is it? Does it pull 500w from the wall because alot of Leds will say 500w when it pulls 100w mine say they are 1000w but they actually pull 250w you might have to lower the light for it to work better. And as long as you didn't tie them to tight to the stem it won't do any damage.

So I have 2 lights on it. Ones 1200w actuall power is 265, and then got another one that’s actual power is 145 or something like that. So it’s actually 400w actual power running my bad. It’s a bloomspect I got off of Amazon. And I didn’t tie em too tie but the string is weak.
How far away do you have the lights they arnt the best diods and don't give off much par value at a decent distance I would hang that light around 14-16 inches away during veg. I would look for some better lights when you can because they might be the problem they only have a par value of around 300 at 24 inches. A good range of par for veg is 500-800 and for flower around 600-1000 at least that's the range I find works good.

your humidity is way over 49% if you see this much transpiration. verify your rh monitor/gauge is correct. i run 3 cheap analog temp/rh gauges just to keep things honest
