First time grower. What you guys think?

[MIMedGrower]

watered. Imma just water from here on out. I guess I was trying to learn what they can take and cant take lmao far to say I've learned what they cant take.

Its time to start feeding when the leaves lighten up their luster a bit. Maybe a little fade on the lowest leaves. Also droopy lowers with white tips but that can be from overwatering too. Early sign.

The pic i put up above shows a hungry plant but healthy. In her case she gets transplanted up to new soil so gets more nutrients. They only need what they need for their light intensity and health. Best to err on the side of underfeeding. Little yellow is ok and easy to fix with complete fertilizer. But over fed gets harder to deal with and ultimately affects quality.

I guess I figure imma try and learn as much as I can with these since I got a wild hair up my ass and decided hey imma grow weed. I will say this my next plants will be better then these. I now have good lights a good tent now what good soil is and know not to feed till way later. But I am happy they have not died and dont show many deficiencies. Just stress at this point. I'm ok with that cause it's because of me they are stressed. That to me tells me if I had listened they would look better. So kinda doing good. And that's thanks to you guys.

First hand experience is always good... As is the info you have received. But when ya see it first hand it's much easier to believe and sticks in the brain forever. Sometimes ya just gotta fuck something up so you know ... Not that you fucked up your plant here just in general. I spent my lifetime learning the hard way... But I sure have a lot that's stuck with me. Think they call that experience. Btw looking good for first grow under the conditions you have. Now whens that light coming lol

Tomorrow I have the lights and did a test to make sure I didnt mess up and was go die or burn my place down. Just need the things to hang them and I get those tomorrow as long as they in stock at the lil shop.

Your plants actually have a really nice structure. I enjoy the challenge to correct the stress and watch them flourish.

10 4 makes sense I'm just hard head at time and wanted to learn I learned to just pay attention to what I'm told.

Yeah it's been fun lol. On thing I did notice the big upper leaves on one of the plants the steam attached to it seemed flimsy any idea why this might be? Kinda like the steam cant support the big ass leaf.

Yes. Lol. You are beginning to hurt her with the nutrient overload. As the pots dry the ec in the medium goes up some as it gets concentrated into less moisture.

We do try to tell you. ;-)

Lmao yeah you guys did. So tomorrow or hell later today since its 12.52 am where I'm at lol and I water should I water a good amount like to where nothing but clean water comes out kinda like a flush or is this just another bad idea? And will the steam get strong ever????

I would water to about 25% runoff and see if it is murky and brown or just yellow and more transparent.

I read in an old overgrow thread once.

“If its brown flush it down”.

“If its yellow let it mellow”


I would still rather use my ppm/ec meter. ;-)

Ok 10 4 I'll do that but that steam can recover or the damage has been done?

 

[MIMedGrower]

If you have to flush it a lot to get it to look (and maybe smell) better then you might pour in a low dose of grow nutes. Like 15% of directions. Start low. Work up slow.

Dont know. Lets see. She could hust be very low in water turgidity. When the salts in the soil are greater than the salt in the roots ozmosis will draw water from the plant. She needs her roots washed out is the simplist way to look at it.

Ok 10 4 I'll see if that lil shop has a ec meter was going tio get one of Amazon but so many bad reviews I was scared.

 

[MIMedGrower]

I am happily stoned. Back seems better some and full of grow rhymes tonight. Lol.


The snow has let up. Last night i learned about big snowstorms and psiatica.

And they will droop after so don't panic. That was kinda for @CosmoGrows. He is going through similar stuff on the watering learning curve.

Shoveling? Sure hope not... Or just the cold causing muscles to tense in turn signaling your nerve to start ceremoniously shoot pains up and down the leg for what feels like eternity.

I use this. Has lasted 6 years using every day some so far.

Rounds off the numbers but plenty accurate for a soil/soiless container grow and never needs calibration.

Only drawback is you have to leave it in the sample a minute to equalize temp for accurate reading. The pens do that electronically.

The second thing and now the ankle and foot have joined in.

But i can stand and hobble for much longer now and am mostly off the pain med and muscle relaxer. Still use ibuprophin but i use it anyway.
