This one right here smells out of control already. Like a sweet lemon pinesol spearmint. It's bagseed so who knows what it is but would like to try and get in the ballpark of lineage. Have you grown anything looks like this before or any guesses @rmoltis @Wisher619 @EventHorizan @Krypto

the reason why you have to dump and refill
is because.......
through the course of the week your plant may be taking down some elements more than others
if you just keep topping up
what will happen is those elements that are accumulating will get high enough that it will block other nutrients from uptake

those elements will cause an imbalance
so every 2 weeks or so you dump and start fresh so you know that you are giving the correct ratio of elements

Oh cause I haven't changed it in like 3 weeks. ..
I figured since I only use grow and not multiple things I might be able to go longer.

I have no idea. They look hungry in pic. May be your lighting....
Can I be a Debbie downer real quick.
All those lights look awesome. They will perform...
BUT.......
You can have the sun in your tent but if temp is bad, rh is bad, if there is huge swings between lights on/off, etc.....
Well the lights not gonna matter much.
Most your tents or in basement right?
I would spend the money to get your environment under control.
The reason my autos are doing so well imo is
My Temps range from 71 to 78 and my rh is between 50 and 60....
ALL THE TIME! My controller does an amazing job.
Just my 1.5 cents....

Normal lighting. You think hungry? They in a really hot soil and I've been feeding NFTG...

They don't look like reaching for the light. That's what I don't get.

I mean how would you know which of the macro and micro nutrients the plant has taken up from the solution?
Click to expand...
I talk to my plants and they tell me... leaf curl, color, growth, feel, texture,
If I see anything def, then I check Ec. If Ec is low I raise.
If ec is normal or high and I see def, then I change out the system.
So far in a month I haven't seen no def...figuring I will change it out soon and switch to bloom nutes...
Run them 3 weeks and flush for a week with flora kleen. I really liked using that at the end.

I'm confused what you're saying. The RH is fine ... the only thing is maybe too much swing between temp of light on/light off?
Click to expand...
I was not commenting that your rh was bad just that it is one of the things that really matters when dialing in your setup. I seen that you got cold temp at night. I would fix that first is what I was getting at..
Well I'm at work ... have a good day everyone!

@EventHorizan im wondering if they could be hungry, the pots go from logged to light in under 24hrs now... I'm also worried they're not getting enough oxygen because on those two the bottom of the airpot is at the bottom of the airpot instead of 3rd row. So maybe not enough airflow and they're stunting and screaming for oxygen ?

Coco? U GOT TO TELL ME which median we are talking about each time u ask a specific question or I will end up fuchsia you up.
If it's coco feed multiple times a day.

Brother,,, on a personal note between me and you,,,
Ditch the dirt and all things associated with it. It will imo attract parasites. ..but even more it's just to many things.
Hydro for mass production... keep it simple. ..
Dirt has its place and probably grows the tastiest but I'm thinking not by much.

If I was you I would ditch all them air pots and soil and replace with a flood table and 1 gal pots.. for moms. You already have a cloner. And build either 2 4x4 or 4x8 for flower.
If you have 2 4x4 tents you can stager the harvest so you have one every month. That's a # a month.... 3rd
both your flower tents rdwc....
it would run sensational!

Appreciate the advice but I enjoy the different aspects of each medium. This isn't a business for me it's a passion and medication. A hobby and intellectual stimulation. That also happens to support it self financially :) :eyepiece:

I've actually been really liking the coast of Maine and hp ProMix blend better than the coco. Granted i did get shit brick coco and probably didn't charge it properly. I also really dig the Airpots :) I need to do it all, and this is a healthy way to satiate that hunger inside :mushtache:

But the ones I'm worried are hungry are the two Amnesia, which are both in super soil.

I will generally feed them a gallon or so, they will be dry under 24 hrs. They're 5 gal pots so I'm guessing I'm not feeding them enough when I do feed them?

Healthy white roots are popping out the bottom and everywhere so it can't be that (unless they're starving for oxygen)... I can't be overwatering them ... they go dry in a day...

Heres pics out of and in tent. Let me know your thoughts ....

when you water are the pots like....Really Heavy? Completely saturated
if you want your girls to pray
in a medium like super soil
you have to allow it a dry time
so when you soak
if you actually time lapsed it
you will see that the plant will go from droopy to straight out to straight up back to droopy
usually when your plants are praying you are dialed right on the edge perfectly for your plants needs
it is not a feed/nutrient thing rather a H2O/O
in the root zone

I also agree with ditching the dirt
but I will side with keeping the dirt just so you can study it and figure it out

soil is cool and my outdoor goes straight in the ground
but indoor soil.....for me....effing nightmare
white flies/gnats etc.....made me want to loose my mind
as clean as I kept my space......just didnt matter

I found coco to be the best medium I have ever used

hell I once amended coco with all organic inputs and trichoderma/Mycos and let it cool for a month
grew amazing pot with just tap water no filter

but to me
to dial it it
just pure coco and a really clean nutrient
I can really dial my feed and get my girls humming
