Once or twice for experience you can just let one go dry to see what a truly water starved plant looks and feels like. The pot will almost feel shockingly weightless and the leaves will go totally limp, not just droopy. It takes surprisingly longer than you think and it's rarely fatal.

I've had rez pumps fail and plants that look literally dead come back to full turgor in an hour. Until you've dried one back that far and see it recover it's hard to fully understand spotting the difference between under and over watering.

Your plants look good. Don't overthink things. Remind yourself that you're probably doing everything too much. Be the cool parent. Give them the tools they need to succeed and stay out of the way.

100% this,

A plant wont notice a few hours being dry other than some leaf wil hang and you will see when you give it water it will recover in 30minutes.

This kind stress is very beneficent for the plant.

I often go 3 days away for work if you see how they are when i return u will think they died but once recovered you wont see.
Overwatering in that case gives you atleast 3-4 days stagnation

I never figured it out. So I switched to coco. Now I can't fuck it up even if I try.

Ive done coco grows. Without them having some kinda automation i want nothing to do with it anymore...lol. Awesome medium but lots of watering/feeding. Keeping up manually is tough. Life gets in the way sometimes.

I will keep lifting the pots to get a feel for the weight. 1 needed water for sure today, the big queen, the others i'll keep an eye on.

I checked my ph en ec meter today. Ec was a bit of, i measured 1.65 when i should measure 1.41 But it's fixed now.

Light just on pic :

For these small girls it's day 7 veg.
I'll do another 7 days and i'll flip them.

Damn guys, i spend to much money on the tents, and now out of weed 😖 So can i cut them down and smoke them ? 🤪🤣

Let me start with the good news, tent #2 is doin great imo.

But tent #1 with the bigger lady's....
I'm so done with the smaller plant! I'm considering getting rid of her!
So if anyone wants her, come get her!

The rest looks pretty good imo. But all very compact.
I wish they all looked like the Sherbert Queen!

I did cut away quite a lot of foliage today.

What are your thoughts?

Edit, i also removed the scrog net, i want be able to lift the pots to get a feel for the weight

As a comparison, This was my grow 10 years ago!
These are also white widows from RQS, also in same soil, same nutrients, and they looked so much better. Only difference is the HPS light..
Am i doin it so wrong this time ?

Tent 1, Day 13 12/12
Watering remains difficult! The Sherbet drinks about 1.5 liters per day, while others make that last 3 to 4 days.

I really need the Spider Farmer auto water pots.
So Spider Farmer please sponsor me!
Otherwise I'll have to order them on Temu.... 🤔😝

Tent 2 looks good! Day 9 grow

Only 1 lady has some deformed leaves. Not disastrous, I think. (Bottom left)
These ladies received 500ml today.

But I have a question!
I am following the Plagron feeding schedule, but it assumes 4 weeks of growth. And I only plan to do 2 weeks of growth. How does that affect the feeding schedule? Because according to the schedule, growth nutrients are only requested in week 4.

Wait wtf you kept the small one. Good, no need dumping it unless you need the space.
Are there any pre flowers yet?

And also. I'm with you buddy. I've joined the out of weed club.

Yeah, for now she's still here. I'm just going to see how it goes, Chatgpt says it'll be fine.... That gives confidence hahaha 😂

You mean the white hairs? I haven't seen them yet.

Damn, that sucks bro! But how? You didn't grow enough?

How do you feel without weed? I'm a real junkie, and I struggle when I can't smoke..
It's going to be 2 long months until the harvest...

Yeah the pistils.

Well if chatgpt says it's fine, then dump it LoL 😄

Last grow i tried to make clones. After about 1 1/2 month they didn't have a single root. Still alive though, funny enough.
So i ended up with only the two mother plants and they gave me 210g because they never stretched and i f'ed them up a bit . I smoked that since newyear.

I manage fine without weed, I just like to smoke, and i also use it for sleep and appetit.
But i got some sorry leftovers from some grow ago. So sorry i wouldn't even throw it after a mad dog. LoL

Yeah 2 months is longer than i like to imagine, but hey 2 months goes fast when you're growing so thats a plus.
