I wish I had mainlined the widows. They are a very steady growing plant.
The GX is just too fussy. Not a fan.

Update.
Watered widow #1 2 liters to water after removing top 2 inches and mixing in Dr earth gold 4 4 4.
Pulled down tucked yada yada.
Boosted up both plants 4 inches giving me 30k on light hog and 28k on #2 plant.
Watered GXGSC and tied down outers even.
BBMR leaving the gelato behind. The GX is too
interested in large fans and it's pissing me off.
Top growth on BB much more advanced.

Update
Top dressed BBMR #2 and watered with 1.5 liters ro.
Pulled top 8 horizontal and will let move 3-6 inches and then turn up.
Got the hangers in the corners and turned my 31x31 tent back into a 31x31 tent
Clearance on all walls now.
Even on fan speed 10

Sunday night.
Widow taking off. Lights out peek 2 inch stretch day. Pics tomorrow.
Time to plan out the 13 inch deep canopy for this run.
Monday AM.
Boosted plants up another 4 inches. Tied and spread. Stretch is moving some stems.
Moved mainline tent tops for spread.

Ok I is gunna do something stupid.
After waiting for a shife robe or a cabinet from goodwill for a while I kinda have come to the conclusion that it's not gunna happen. In addition just materials for a simple 3x3 box for a cabinet is just as much as a freaking 3x3 tent.
So.
Take the 150 watt panels x 2 out of the 31x31. Strip it and it becomes my drying tent.
Get a cheap 36x36 and make this the veg tent using the 3 70 watt panels and the humidifier/duct and app. Already confirmed the app will run the cheapo lights.
I like the idea of manifolding and will use this to cut the manifold build time off the rotation. Could get a 12 week rotation on pot.
Now for this to work I will put the 150 watt panels in the 48x48 and the widows go into the tent when the manifolds get flipped.
This will give me time to set up the 36x36 and run the veg portion
I am going to manifold the rest of the widows into flower as soon as the 48x48 is clear. Also going to start doing greenhouse pots for starts and up pot plants like a big boy. The small plant into a bigger pot is limiting with slower growing and smaller photos. The slight pause from up potting will more than compensate for having to water the plant with a seedling in a 5 gallon pot.
48x48 700 watts with 2 light zones.
36x36 210 watts for vegging.
31x31 drying tent 2 level will float the wet room temp of 63-66 and have humidity control
Total cost will be about $90 bucks as the lights apps and fans are already here I just need the 3rd tent.

What’s the cannabis feed rate? I use this too and always wonder if I’m getting the most out of it.

Welp. Looks like I have another self inflicted wound on my grow.
I had been concerned with the deep green of the GX for a while but now I see the other 2 plants are hiding the same problem but without the green.
If I put the mainline plants under more then 16k which is a pitiful amount of energy I roast the tips and one has swirling leaves and a self cull for 1/4 of a leaf.
None of the plants are moving water I am just getting a slow dry on the pots. Ni water in 5 days and pots way heavy for watering.
Now I have to figure out what I did.
I do not think it is nutrition as the widows look awesome
and I am following the same plan.
These pots were set up 10 days early with nemetodes and I had problems with germination. The pots dried way back and on install all the water I gave the plants got sucked away and I just caught that and saved the 2 BBMR plants.
When I bobbed the mainline back I think I should have gone back in water amounts and started watering the plant instead of the pot. It was a 2 inch stem with a 8 inch twig with 10 leaves. I should not have been soaking the pot at this point as there was no growth to use up the water.
Pretty sure I got bad wet feet. When you pick up the pot and wiggle it back and forth you can feel the center of gravity is very low in the pot.
So I have 2 options from looking at diaries with this problem.
1 dry it back and get the pot light and do a slow full watering.
2 do a top water of 500 ml to get the soil on the first 6 inches watered but let the bottom of the pot continue to clear up. Continue with this until pot gets light.
If the pots were drying normal I would say they are 2 days from being light. Since they are not I donno and the GX is looking sad

What about trying to wick the moisture away from the bottom of the pot?
I had one that looked over watered and set the pot on top of a towel for about 20 mins. It pulled at least 1 cup of moisture out of the pot.

They are still looking good @JIMKSI64 
How many of the dogs tennis balls do ya have kicking around? I'd suggest using a few balls or marbles between the pots and saucers. Aim the fans a little lower and help dry out the bottom portion of the pots. Being that they are taking so long to dry out evenly, I would hold off a day and see if propping them up and the fan dry them out a bit more before adding any water

Bottom of pot is not wet dripping or anything. If you push on it the soil is dry. Think I have a ball of wet.
Pots feel different at the bottom and not at all like the widows when I water them.
