You're right. They're powerful. So, it's important to match the light to the tent. It's also important to be able to adjust the light (usually with a dimmer knob or by adjusting the height). I have 240 LED lights in my tents, but I rarely run them higher than 50%. They're at 40% as I write...

Contact with the soil was my first guess. My second guess is dry soil in the space where the roots contact the new soil. It may be helpful to water in a ring around the plant, so the roots don't contact dry soil. Only do that till the plant recovers, though. We want the roots to seek water.

IIRC, I've seen it suggested to soak the roots in a mild hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to helping the root rot, it also provides oxygen. I'm not sure who recommended it, but it probably was @GNick55. My apologies to Nick if I'm wrong.

My thinking is the initial soil was the problem. It probably didn't promote root growth. This Black Jack grow and the one after it, Amnesia Haze, were terribly slow until I was able to coax better rooting. I used different starter soils, but I believe both were lousy. The Amnesia Haze was...

I don't think that's a hermaphrodite. They have pollen sacks. Here's a picture for an example:

It is watering day for the smaller plant. So, while all of you were writing helpful posts, I was tying down the stems. I didn't see your posts till after I finished. Here are some pictures so you can see what I did. I think I mostly did what you recommended. I used cotton string with a Bowline...

Does that white stuff rub off?

We're good. I appreciate your interest. I don't see any problems with it--yet. I don't run my lights at high intensity. I'm sure if I were to boost up the light, there could be some burn. For the most part, though, the plants seem happy as they are.

There wasn't much to say about it for a while. I'm guessing these will take about eight weeks. So, I'm hoping to harvest them in late July. Yep! They're from the same batch of seeds left over from last summer's grow. I sprouted three, but one didn't make it. The tall one is 48 inches from the...

I would cut off the bottom fan leaves if they are touching the soil. Are the plants in their final pots?

IDK... I've been thinking about super cropping them. They seem to have stopped stretching, though, and are tolerating the light okay. So, maybe I don't need to do anything with them. I've never super cropped, so I'm wary of trying it for the first time if I don't need to do it. Then again, the...

I'm a medicinal grower, too, and I agree about the healthy aspect of the growing. I love it!

17 days since the flip. They're done stretching and flowering has begun. I expect to harvest in mid to late July.

I've been growing for about a year, too. My first crop was also infested with spider mites. So far, I've only harvested one crop and it was a good one--Acapulco Gold. I now have two tents going with two plants in each. The plants in one them are flowering and I expect to harvest mid to late July.

That doesn't look like heat stress. It could be a disease called "beet curly top virus."

The leaf-edge necrosis resembles a potassium deficiency.

Was that bottom picture taken at night?

No. Lady bugs are predatory, but people who have tried them haven't reported complete success. There are real mites that prey on spider mites. Just search Amazon for predator mites. There are several varieties. Here's an example:

I wonder if smart bulbs could be used. If so, the light could be controlled programmatically. Then, perhaps, the discussion could turn to dawn, dusk and season emulation.

Without seeing your plan, we can't comment about any of it, including whether it's too long. So, I agree. Let's see it. I'm not sure that's possible, but what I do know is that it's hard to plan without the experience that comes from growing. Even people who have grown for decades say they...
