Wow nice recovery looking good!

You should not water more than once every 5 days. If you are doing it every single day you are doing nothing but drowning your plant and going to make the roots rot. If your soil is drying out more than every 5 days give or take, then you most likely have them in too small of a pot and most likely your light is way too close and is literally burning your plan up causing it to drink more. 90% or more of Growers nowadays want to just throw that light right on top and you cannot do that and expect to have a nice healthy plant.

I am having a HELL of time trying to get watering down. Thank you for this bit of info.

Man I'll tell you like I do everyone else. Check out the grow boss on YouTube. The man is a growing genius!

I spent 30 sec watching one of his videos and found 2 false info then stopped. I'm sure he knows a lot about growing but honestly even people with a lot of knowledge can pass on bad info. Personally I feel a forum is a far better source of info because it allows room for debate. The best tip for any grower is to question every bit of info and if they can't explain why then don't take the advice until you can find out the why yourself.

He says o2 drastically changes the ph... Absolutely false.

He says circulation in RDWC of 4x a day you don't need airstones... Now I personally prefer 10x site volume per hr. But 4x per will work.

4x per day??? No idea where he came up with that info.

Say a 40gal system would essentially need a 6gph pump... I don't think so.

Added: I just looked again he was speaking flood and drain so forget what I said about. Leaving that info cause I was wrong.

Nice recovery, that's gotta feel good!

Be careful with that tiger bloom, It's got a damn near toxic level of P in it

Hope this helps!

^ oh I get it! Duh! I got to stay off of forums before I have coffee, just saying LOL Maybe this will help? Take a pot the same size as you're using and fill it up with the same Medium you're using and leave it dry and set it aside: Then when you think a plant needs to be watered pick them...

Plant 3/4 watered. Plant 4/4 being watered next then will upload a pictures of them all in the tent after

 

[yo0123yo]

Here is plant 4/4 which I'm currently watering.

 

[yo0123yo]

OK and now the final post/update. All 4 main plants are watered and back in tent along with the small 5th plant which is a couple weeks behind (the small one in the middle). Thanks for all your input/advice/questions in advance!

P.S. Also just purchased one gallon of:
'Nectar for the Gods' - 'Herculean Harvest'
& one 8oz 'Real Growers Recharge'.

Any other input, constructive criticism, feedback, or questions are greatly appreciated.

 

[yo0123yo]

Would appreciate any input. Here's a pic 12ish hours after all watered

 

[yo0123yo]

13 hours or so after watering them.

Damn they perked right up! They look super happy now. All that top growth stood right up, nice. Good color green too

He says o2 drastically changes the ph... Absolutely false.

It does change the pH quite a bit! I stopped aerating my nutrient solution for this reason...
I'd pH 20 gallons with an airstone to 6.0.. and everything was gravy. Until I turned off the airstone and let everything settle for about an hour, then took the pH reading again... it was near 5.5. The added o2 definitely raises pH in a reservoir in weird ways when airstones are turned on. I tested this multiple times with different nutrient solutions. It kinda sucks because i used to like aerating my reservoir.

Airstones also make the nutrients "fall out" more/faster

 

[yo0123yo]

Just received two products in the mail I've been waiting for, about to feed the. Heard nothing but great stuff about these two products specifically. Will check in/update in a couple weeks or so again

Keep an eye on your Nitrogen. The Recharge was recommended by a respected grower on Farmers not long ago. I've yet to try it my self.

I am officially on day 79 since seed was planted. The plants are all ranging from 24inches-30inches at this time in 3 gallon "magic pots". I am thinking of transferring them from 3g to 5g pots in a week or so and switching them to 12/12 light cycle shortly after. Any thoughts aginst this or for this? The grow tent is a total of 6ft tall so the plants are about half that height at the moment, I am also planning on putting the trellis net up soon as I switch them to their finishing pots and 12/12 lights.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

That sounds like a plan! Bigger pots are generally a good idea. The bigger pots combined with the trellis net is a great idea.

i would let them grow out for a week or two after transplanting before flipping to 12/12.

I also keep the same nutrients as veg for the first 2 weeks of flower. No changes until they’re really into stretch mode
