This is the 20th day of my babes. Any suggestions? What do you think. I see the wrinkles on some leaves and I think I should water them like deeper and wider.

I would suggest getting into some LST before she goes into flower. I would also recommend some topping so that you can get some more grow sites going. Keep us updated. Happy trails…..

Guys this is a closeup. If anybody knows about the wrinkles. Please tell me

That is what we call Tacoing and you would need to move your light. It is the plants reaction to the lighting situation. I would back off either the intensity or the distance of your lights to your girl.

I’m like 20% dimmed out of a 1000w led. I’m like 100cm away… around 290 μmols wtf….

They look nice and healthy! I would see if the move of your lights makes a difference. What’s your light schedule look like? Being the fact that you are still in veg would be a good time to do this tweak.

Cut back on the amount of light per day. I am at 12/12 and my ladies are very happy. I would also go non peak hours of the day to save $$$$.

But I’ll trigger the flowering period man with 12/12 because I’m in photoperiods..

Oh, gotcha. When were you thinking about flipping?

If you plan to veg another 30-45 days, the main thing that will determine whether that extra veg time actually increases yield is your pot size, not the calendar.

Cannabis yield is primarily limited by root volume, because root mass controls:

maximum nutrient uptake

water delivery

metabolic throughput

ability to support flower biomass

Once the roots have fully colonized their container, the plant’s root capacity stops increasing even if you veg for weeks longer. At that point, extra veg time mostly produces more foliage, not more flower-supporting infrastructure.

That’s why a plant in too small a pot can look huge but still yield small: the canopy outgrows what the roots can fuel.

Topping/LST only redistributes growth. In the same root volume, 10+ tops will usually yield similar total weight to a single main cola, the biomass just gets divided between more sites. The only time topping increases total yield is when the root zone has enough capacity to support the extra growth.

So if you want to veg an extra 4-6 weeks for a big plant, I’d strongly suggest up-potting first.
Larger root volume = larger nutrient throughput = a genuine increase in final harvest weight.

How much height do you have in there? I would flip to flower lst while the stretch attacks that way you get a full floor and a short plant light doesnt penetrate much the lower it goes soo not much real benefit of filling the tent to the top
