I've realized that giving your plants the correct volume of water when watering is also crucial. Over and underwatering can cause your plants to look just as unhealthy as if the pH or ppms were way off. This is definitely something that I'm still trying to dial in for myself. I tend to overlove and maybe give too much water and then when trying to get it right sometimes underwater lmao. What I need to do is start writing down how much water I'm giving my plants every time I water. Watering too soon or too late also feeds into this problem. My plants were looking a little crazy and I had a feeling that it was my watering so I've been doing slurry tests and they've all been coming out perfect so it's my watering. I'm using 5 gallon fabric pots and I know when I'm pushing hard in mid to late flower I'm using a gallon per pot every other day. On my plants in mid-veg right now I'm trying to get it down seems like a quart of water is too little and a half a gallon is too much. Maybe I'm just watering too often. Let's just do the finger test and stick my finger in about an inch deep end if it's dry I water but I've found sometimes that the middle of the pot will still be wet and the outside bone dry I don't know I got to get my watering right. What do you guys do? How much water and how often are you giving it to your plants. I've kind of had to abandon BK for a week to try to get these back on track.

that’s part of the game too… all learning your environment….and you will see a difference between winter and summer grows….what I did and realized that I water every 2 days and watching how the plant reacts … some times you can use a quart a day for watering …. If you use a gallon then mite have to wait a day or 2 maybe 3 , that quart you mite do every day .. some times its that there in a big pot and not using it all up , some times to little of a pot…..everyone gonna give a different answer cause we all have different environments….but your on the right path of finding the answer…….( it’s just a weed , simple to grow ) lmao……

Yeah man I'm definitely seeing that. I've been able to keep my temp perfect but my RH has been low and in the 40s for the most part. I keep it about 78° during the day and it goes down to about 71° at night. I'm wondering too if maybe it's because I've been doing a lot of training on them and super cropping. I like to get a nice wide foundation built and let them Bush out and then let them grow straight up. I don't know I got something going on what do you guys think. I did come to a decision I'm not going to foliar feed anything but Bloom khaos anymore. I think running the full Roman regimen and also foliar feeding nutrients is too much. I was doing the alternating days every other day Ive been using Bloom khaos and in between I'd use Dr Growth mixed with something different every time along with it like kraken Pegasus Poseidon photo Plus. think I'm doing too much. Seeing a couple burnt tips. I'm dropping the doctor growth and just doing BK every other day once my plants get back to normal.IMG_20221115_080054.jpg

They're selling the nectar microbes Apollo and Pluto on ocg in the sticker section. Anybody use these yet I'm wondering if they're worth buying.

still have the sample bags I didn’t use yet … no idea how the work …one of these days I’ll play with it ….if you want the 2 weeks in transition you can foliar trigger , helps build the bud sites …as of now I’m figuring out what’s up with the roots , I’m up potting quicker now .. the 5 gallon was the norm and now I’m in 10 gallons …DYNOMYCO is no joke …

Yeah man I may try the dynomyco. Bigger Roots bigger fruits. Usually my five gallon pots are filled out by now and they're just chugging water. I'm going to do another slurry tomorrow morning see what's going on I just did one on a couple pots and the pH was pretty high on both and one had high ppms and one had low ppms LOL. F****** s*** show. So right now I'm going to focus on getting them healthy before flower.

correct on getting them healthy before flower…..this is where some get into trouble , there not watching there ph before flip …

Yup. I still have some time I'm going to take them to 8 or 9 weeks I want to do some monsters but tomorrow when the soil dries out a little I'm going to do a slurry on all of them.

I just lift the pot…get a feel for wet vs dry. Right now they are drinking less and I only know because of pot weight. YMMV but seems to be working for me.

Just got these AC Infinity 11" supplemental UVA LM301H light bars. They're pretty cool they're magnetic and have a metal strip and you can attach them to the walls anywhere in your tent with the magnet you put the metal strip on the outside of the tent and the magnet sticks to it. I may try using them in flower or something. I know if you're using them for supplemental lighting in flower for terpenes and cannabinoids you're not supposed to leave them on all day only for a couple hours I'll have to read up on it. These things are solid I'm happy with them they match all my other AC Infinity stuff. Plus I got them for free in a contest.

Cool Ill find somewhere to put em. Still gonna upgrade a light in my tent. I've been wanting to get an HLG light but they're pretty expensive I'm wondering if they extra dollars really matter. They all have the same diodes some just built better. I'm sure the HLGs are solid.

I was wondering how you guys feed your seedlings up until the feeding schedule starts? I usually use Dr root and tap water up until the end of week 2 week three I feed it half strength the seedling feed and then week four I start the schedule. I have some seedling's and I just ran out of Dr root. I'm also running out of ez tea veg. I'm wondering about buying the nectar microbes Pluto and Apollo, does anybody know anything about them? I can't find any info on the ingredients, is there anything different in them than photo Plus and the ez teas I'm wondering if I should just stick with them.

So if I do decide to go with the nectar microbes you only use them once in veg and twice in bloom so that raises another question, what do you do on tea days? Someone just sent me the ingredients and it looks like they have a nice variety of different microbes in them,
