Patience is key. It took me a long time to slow down. When I first started off, I thought the more I did for my plants, the bigger they would get. That was naive thinking of my youthful years just like everything else I did. You will find the groove. I really love the tent setup though, acinfinity setups are dope AF. Here soon I will be investing in to a gorilla grow tent/ light. That's going to be for my indoor live soil adventure once I get to that point. Rn I have too much going on as it is.i have acinfinity lights in my main flower room though 😄

Thanks, and yes, I need to not go in there 10 times a day. LOL
It's hard tho' when you're retired and don't have anything 'important' to do.
(well, I COULD do housework, ya right. Hey, I made dinner last night. First time in a couple weeks.)LOL

I agree with all those who said to be patient. It looks like you have some time before you go into flower. Stay the course, enjoy the time and perhaps get into some LST with the ladies open up that canopy. I would also do a little topping as well, get some more bud sites going.

Yep, I think they have some kind of virus, but it only slowed them down a little, so I let it go. Those sick looking leaves on/close to the soil bother me so I may pluck them.
And I gave them fertz. way too early so some of the leaves look too dark.

Those 2 tone are normal varigated leaves that happen random. No virus will cause that.

Good, I kept going back and forth. If it wasn't for the bent/twisting of some of the leaves... but they seem to be healthy and growing and that's the important part.

I have been concerned with the stacked formation and the twisted leaves. It is that presentation that stopped me from running 24-0 as this showed up more in grow journals than 18-6


As I watch my plants on wake up they look lazy. If humidity was high the plants look puffy. 2 hours later they have the flat table look. At the end of the day they look tired. I think they do better with a rest break. I know early I got a lot more stretch than you did but most of that looks worse than it is as it is such a small plant. The puff balls will fill in those stems. As bare as they look remember most are under 10 inches long.

Think I'll change to 24/0 and see what happens.
Okay, tonight. (if I can figure out how with the automation thingy. 😉 )

are you watering/soaking all the medium when watering? and how often you watering?
to me your plants seem to have a watering issue look to them?
the light distance and power?

It depends on the strain of auto you have. Some can be ran that much. But they are crossed with a photoperiod strain. Ruderalis strains can take more light yes. But look at the recommendations from the seed genetics and the source you acquired to find out the acceptable dli and the photoperiod needed.

You are correct, they were dry, but I'm trying to get them to pull water out of the wick on the auto watering bases.
I checked the meter this morning and then gave them 60oz of well water. After I did a little LST on the smaller branches.
Oh, and we have preflowers! Yay!

So cpurola did you lift the pot off the base and feel the bottom of it was it damp did the wick look wet? I used to use the sip method an let the pots soak up the water back up into the pots but then someone told me alge builds up quicker on the bases? I don't know so i just quit doing it i know i don't have slimmy on the bottoms. I'm just simply like to lift them up to feel the weigth differences and got use to seeing the differences of happy leaf and dry looking leaf. There gonna start drinking more now, you may just need to top water some also.

I've been top watering, but have water in the bases as well. What I'm not doing is watering 'till runoff, which I will be doing as soon as I get my new bases.
To do the LST I took them out of the tent and set them on some vinyl and watered them there. No runoff, so I may not be saturating as much as I should.
These ACI fabric bags are very thick, so I thought that might be the problem but @kenb has the same setup but with clones and his are drinking from the base. Maybe it's better for photos and not autos. hmmm.

The root structure of these plants vrs a photo is ridiculous. Prolly 30% on my best auto vrs my worst photo.
My best photo spawned a fungus mass of bennies a few inches thick.

Oh i don't know if it matters auto or photo? I set mine in a bathtub when i deep water to runoff LOL my catch trays are not deep enough. LOL. I've got 2 different fabrics also so yes i get the thick like a sponge idea it shows bottoms draining when i set it on the riser then it drips out from pressure.
