[John d 123456789]

Checked on em they still moist so gunna water em tomorrow evening should be dry by then

 

[John d 123456789]

Ok thanks so the established now then for 16 days

The big one should be able to tolerate more light. If they aren't getting vertical too fast the light height is good. Gotta be patient with the plants.

 

[John d 123456789]

Ok il raise the big one abit see how it reacts and no just getting more bushier and more leaves it’s on 3rd node and I know will check to see how they are Tomorrow how do you know when to water when the top inch or two is dry? My humidity seems to go up when lights go of got fan going all the time any ideas ?

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

some folk jab their finger in,some lift up pot as a sign to water.humidity will go up a touch at lights out.how high does it get ? 35-65 for me.

 

[Dudeski]

Some people will weigh their pots after watering. Then weigh again to see how much weight is lost. That will tell you how much water is gone. It's a learning curve, nothing set in stone. Some drink more than others.

Welcome to AFN ..... I’m new here myself John and haven’t grown many marijuana plants as it is till illegal where I am but I have been organically growing flowers, vegetables, house plants, tress, lawns etc for over 40 years and have a pretty good idea what’s up, anyways on watering I recommend:

Lift your pots daily and from the their weight you’ll learn when they are wet and when they need water ..... When you do water, water outside of pot inwards slowly allowing time for moisture to wick into the soil, wait a few minutes and follow up with second water until some comes out bottom ..... let plant sit in saucer/water for up to 15 minutes, any remaining water in saucer remove and toss outside - DO NOT REUSE WATER ......

Next day after water, lift plants in AM and PM until you get feel of when and how much water they have used and when they are dry - sometimes it can be challenging to lift but I’ve always found a way, even when I did a small scrog grow in my closet years ago ..... Lift / Water as necessary as you cannot assign an arbitrary day to water, plants use different amounts at different times brother ....

FYI more plants are killed by overwatering and over fertilizers ..... Lift and learn weight of your pots and you’ll never overwater - fertilizers go 1/4-1/2 strength until you absolutely know what plant likes!

I got both nutuirents been told orangic biobizz is slow releasing which won’t be any good for autoflowers also thanks for the welcome they coming along my biggest is starting to shred on the stem which is a good sign I guess? Sorry delay in response

 

[Dudeski]

It doesn't hurt to use a light cal bag does now. That's just a preventative approach. Watch for too much extra N jn it, some are high.

 

[John d 123456789]
