dont believe everything you read in the internet.
it's nitrogen. nitrogen is what makes your plant look green. when light green, needs more, when dark, needs less. lime makes you ph go higher, not lower.

I thought they looked perfectly fine in color. But I'm just a noob .How dark do they look compared to others? It's some blueberry ghost og stain btw

There not that dark that you have a serious problem, I just didn't like the look and read that they should be lighter, if you have a genetic that is naturally dark then everything might be good. Just trying to help but aye I'm still on my first grow to, so don't take evryeveryt I'm saying being the right and only way

Actually was just bout to comment about the lime cause just reread that he needs to lower pH, buty plants look exactly the same, and I did no ph test or anything else just added the Dolomite lime based off how my plant look

So should I be doing anything else right now? Add gypsum or dolomite or whatever?

Also do the height:nodes ratio looks proper. It looks a little compressed to me . Like how can I main line train it like this? Its like 5 nodes right?

I say try the best way that works for you to fix the problem you believe your plant is having just make sure you read up on each thing to see the affects and problems it fixes. When I used the Dolomite lime, I got slight and I mean very minimal nutrient burn only on the tips which I think was from me not properly measuring it right so probably added too much.

You need to master the basics. You haven't even mastered watering your plant...yet you plan to try one of the more difficult advanced training methods. Makes no sense.

For right now, forget training and just focus on getting a good wet/dry cycle going. I don't intend this to be mean...just realistic...

I'm a quick learner so once I get this watering down which is pretty much in the next cycle I'll focus on the training part. I get it but I don't want to be leaving anything out .

Watering is trickier then it looks. If you ever let the soil get over dry...then when you do water, it can just run through and not absorb. So water a bit...let it sit...then finish.

I've had gardens with 20+ pots to water. All different strains and different sized pots. And some were coco, some hempys and others just dirt. That was a f'n nightmare. I switched to hydro after that grow.

On the node spacing thing, tight is usually better. People go to great lengths to get tight nodes because after the stretch, the plant will then be compact rather then too lanky. If you want looser nodes raise the light...but sounds like it's too late for this grow. I just don't want you to get in over your head and kill your plants.
Good luck,
JD

When you water you need to drench your soil. The whole container. And I would cut the two biggest fan leaves off in the middle. Get some light down in there and help with transportation rate some. Actually it looks pretty decent.

Should I cut the 2 fans at the bottom as well?

Thanks alot. I did that same watering technique earlier so that part is good. Light is about 17" from top of plant.

Yam · Jul 5, 2018

Naw. Just cut two bigger ones that are blocking the light. Not the top ones but one node down. The big ones that stick way out and cover alot of under growth.

Do this and in a few days you will see better growth.

What kind of light do you have? What size tent?

The leaves you're talking about cutting still has new growth attached to it and the stem so do I cut both off? If not, wait a while until there's separation?

My white widow was darker than the rest of my plants but it' growing great 3 weeks in flower.

I found a baby spider around the pot yesterday so could that be the reason why that leaf started to decay like that? Sorry for the extra messages n shit lol
