Had a few issues that I ran into recently helping someone else I'd like to share (indoor growers)
1. First off, don't panic over every little thing in the garden. Certain leaves and pots have problems and they might do things that you can't really pinpoint and the best course of action is to play through as you are. I told this dude recently that sometimes the best action is no action. The day you start changing the schedule of these plants is the same day they start acting weird. If all of your garden is uniform in a bad way then that isnt good and you can assume that its something you arent doing. If one or two plants have problems then it is an isolated water or bug issue etc. you will want to check your different lines and/or underside of leaves etc.
2. Always rememeber that most of your problems in early-ish flower can be attributed to water flow if all other things are A1... if temp, light power, rh, and air all feel good to the human then your garden should be good. The second you walk in and say "feels humid" then you should start checking pots.. These plants want a solid wet dry cycle every single day (important). If you havent watered your plants in 2-3 days because "they're still wet" then thats not good and kick that dehue way up even if it means you have to water more (pot size depending). I cant stress how important it is that they see a solid wet and dry cycle every single day..
3. If you are new to this just keep an 80/60 climate all the way start to finish.. 80 degrees and 60 humidity.. You will get dependable results every single time with those levels. If you start changing things around without the timing being correct then you will see how different climatic issues create more problems than what was originally happening.
4. strip.. your.. plants.. Day 0 and 2/3 times between week 1-3.. They will grow with a nice smooth deeper green than they would if you were to leave them sitting. all plants like being cleaned as they grow. Dont strip anything off your plant after week 3. Anything on the interior of the plant is typically garbage and is the single largest factor in taking away quality from your good buds.. Training, pruning and deleafing are the most important ways (outside of genentics) to get the same fire product you and your friends see on the interwebs photos
5. Put way more thought into your co2 burner.. a scrubber fan or other equally powerful fan 6' away from the burner pointing directly at it.. You will thank me for the change in your gardens later wink wink
6. get a temp/humidity gauge and put them in each major spot of the room.. If you keep tweaking your fans/airmovers/other levels and see your room is even all the way around then you are instantly way ahead of the rest of growers.. This means you have good airflow and concentrations of whatever arent focused in one area.. also remember the plants like to dance not a direct blast.. Every plant in the room should be jiggling side to side not tilting over from high wind.. Indirect airflow is key
7.. STRIP YOUR PLANTS.. if you are a grower that depends on this for a living (tent growers just move on to the next thread this is for big boys) and are focused on quality in the constantly changing industry over quantity then you know exactly what I mean by this. The 2-3 point difference on game day is critical.. If you live in a prohibition state and they like loose fuzzballs then just set and forget disregard everything ive said..
8. your plants want to feel comfortable with plenty of space in teh same environment as a human (some of the best advice I ever got) or any other living thing. if its too hot for you then its likely too hot for them.. too humid for you then its probably too humid for them..
Creds: 30 light and a 10 light both 5 years each.. Garden tending several years before that.. I grow what strains and style are on trend at the time. I know i dont have a solid THCfarmer profile but who cares.. If i had some of these talking points 7 years ago I would of done way better way faster..
Cheers bro
