About a gallon
Watering three plant but they are in small pot and I am checking to 1” depth to see if soil is damp as well as lifting them to see if they are light, 32 Oz divide between three every 2-3 days. Cal mag once a week. Using doctor earth 2-2-2 dry fertilizer as a top dressing 1-2 teaspoons once every 3-4 weeks and about 1-2 Tablespoons of fox farm ocean forest as top dressing as well. PH water always at 6.3 tap water but left out for a few days in an open container. I did get a better led light now 480 watts. Rate now just growing in a open room with small humidifier, a small fan and 250watt led light.Getting ready to order a 4’x4’ a/c infinity tent and getting a 6” fan filter set up with 2 isolating that are 6”.
Possibly just over watering? Are you getting runoff in those small pots?

No need to water till run off in soil unless your check ppm or ph.. you're just pushing nurients out watering till run off..
What gives you the impression of over watering?

Hmmm.. I definitely worded that incorrectly. What I was trying to say was with such small pots 32 ounces amongst the three may be too much water and could be causing him to have unwanted runoff.

I'm thinking his poor girls have run out of room. I've seen it done in 1 gals but normally that's with coco or another hydro media, where you control what they get rather than hoping your soil doesn't peter out. I've heard that in soil, the bigger the planter basically the bigger your grow battery is. Were these autos? I usually go 3 gal for auto and 5+gal for photo.

I didn’t intend it as an insult, Its just not the optimal setup. Gl
Yes I understand it is not an optimal set up, just been putting it together a little bit at a time. What would you consider a good set up for indoors? Tent, lights, ventilation, soil, humidifier? Always willing to listen, just want to try and help this along. They did not have all this stuff back in the 80s.

That is really a nice plant. This is only the second run for me. The first one I used autos and had 1 plant only got about a half zip from it so I was pretty happy that these ones looked like they do . Really think ILGM genetics are unstable got to find a good source for seeds the only reason I tried them was a friend gave me some $40.00 dollar off code and I got a variety pack with 15 beans in it, five of each kind so was going to try nukeheads next, but open for suggestions. Took me some time in the 80s to get the results that I got the second time was doing both outside and inside back then. So you can see why I was so concerned that I was going to lose this run as the plants looked real good till I think I over did the nutrients and what not. Hope they make it to the end.
