So I was wrong about 4 weeks being today for the bigger one. I thought today was the 11th. So the bigger one will be 4 weeks Thursday, and the other three will be 4 weeks middle of next week. They exploded in growth last night. Here is a pic taken at 6pm tonight.

So I screwed up.. 2/4 were droopy this morning, instead of rushing to water them I let them sit all day while I was at work. Every time I jump to the conclusion they need water I am 90% of the time wrong. So I did not go with my instincts and went to work. Came home, 2/4 were still droopy but not as bad, but were still unhappy. So I jumped to conclusions like I normally do and watered them. Not only did I water 2, I watered all 4 (the pots were pretty light). OH boy did I piss them off now. Now they are ALL showing signs of being over watered, not to mention the original issue of the 2 that were droopy, figures. Now growth will come to a crawl, and I won't be able to water for well over a week now at the very least. Last time I messed up by over watering on last grow it took 16 days to dry out because they just completely stopped up taking water. No idea why the original issue happened, but now I have to deal with the over watering. If they dont bounce back I will chop and start again. I have already stressed the shit out of them to really hurt the end result. One mistake screws the end result up I have learned the hard way. :???::sad:

It is literally impossible to know when these things need water. They don't droop I don't add water, than they droop days later for no reason. They droop, I add water and they are over watered. I cannot win at all, it is a vicious cycle of the guessing game.

That sucks bud I believe your putting too much thought into the watering process I don’t see how it took 16 days to need water mine pretty much need it every two days but everyone’s diff I reckon...It’s deff better to under water than to over water imo..

So I completely give up on trying to understand these plants. Last night before I went to bed they looked soooo bad. I wake up and they are all praying to the gods! WTF, how is this possible? How can they go from looking like absolute shit, to this? I do not get it. I am happier now, but I still do not get it. Still a few signs of over watering on a few leaves. I am so lost. One month old today.

Because I over watered the last grow through its life really really bad. I learned a few things last grow, but clearly I am still making the same mistakes. At day 16 the pots were still heavy and really wet.

More light more grow
Ur in flowering give her what she need
They show signs of light stress when I bring it down. I assure you, I would if I could. They are barely in flower. Very very few pistils. Once they become a little more robust I will. These cobbs are no joke brother, they hammer with light. Very easy to go overboard. Don’t forget I have 205w in a 2x2. just following what the plants are telling me. Once the branches get a little more robust I will lower down to 18”.

3 Gallon pots so 11L pots. Light is 205w Optic 2 COB LED in a 2x2x5.5' space. The soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forrest which has plenty of nutes to take me into week 5 before adding anything. Just plain ol PH'd tap water is all I use right now. If I add nutes I will burn the shit out of them right now.

Nice little setup that buddy you will have to keep a eye out for my tent when it's all setup around a week they'll only be seedlings like, I'm assuming your from the states? Just with you saying they are in Fox Farm Ocean Forest I've heard good things about this soil specially with the nutrients in it, We don't get this in the U.K, I don't even think people from the uk take the risk off buying it from the states, I think your fox farm is our coco lol Have you heard anyone coming accross it in the U.K?

I wouldn't know to be honest. I know FF is a USA company so not sure if they sell across the pond. It's too bad because its good stuff.

I don't think they do sell fox farm here in the UK buddy, I've heard off people buying a few 50L bags off it and it got stopped going out the country (USA) Thats why people use canna over here it's specially designed for growing cannabis and so is their nutrient range the nutrients range is made by the Dutch.

Plants doing better. Still having an issue with figuring out the best time to water, but they seem rather happy. The smaller on in the top left seems to be giving me the most trouble. I need to feed her less and she is not up taking water as quickly as the other ones. I indeed think she is a little over watered. I am going to dry her out really good even she droops, I will wait a full day once she starts to droop. Lowered the light down to increase the radiant heat a little. Tent was staying at 73-74 most of the time and I think that is attributing to the pots not drying out enough. Light height is about 14". I am going to give them their first nute feeding with tiger bloom at 1/4 strength next watering 2-8-4
