yep....once u get used to how heavy the pots are when dry compared to wet.... easy peazy...good info

 

[Srenots]

also, if u can turn the pots 180 every day is a good thing...for light coverage, simple things like that work, ur plants will reward u in the end

That, or you could just move the plants every time you water (or every other day). So, like, that plant in the right-hand corner in the back row would get moved to the middle in the back row, wait two days, move it to the left-hand corner in the back row, wait two days then move it to the left-hand corner in the front two, then the middle in the front row etc etc. Basically 1 2 3 4 5 6 then 2 3 4 5 6 1 then 3 4 5 6 1 2 etc. It looks a lot more complicated typed out haha, but it’s not. I feel like that also gives the plants a decent amount of air circulation every few days, whereas if I just kept the plants in the same spot all the time, the plants in the middle of the back of the space would be getting much less air flow than the plants in the front. Somethin’ like that anyway.....

simply just keep them in a stadium effect around the light, tallest on outside....shortest under the light...good to go....this info is if ur running a bunch of diff strains at same time in small space... no brainer

KISS method as usual , common sense goes a long way....dont over think it and should be fine ~

I saw a whole leaf sticking up this morning on the Bruce Banger and the other leaves looked droopy.
View attachment 877780View attachment 877781The soil is still damp and I haven’t watered. It could have been unhappy because I turned it yesterday and the fan could have blown it (the fan behind it is not oscillating, but there is a fan across the room that does oscillate.)View attachment 877782View attachment 877783View attachment 877784
All the other plants look fine, but some have their tips pointing down slightly.

Then tonight when I checked the Bruce Banger seems to be happier now.....

Hmmmmm....?

You're killin' it.

They look generally happy to me. Those tilted leaves can be reacting to the light or wind but dont look stressed. You can always try not pointing any fans directly at rhem but over them between the lamp and canopy. And also play with fine tuning the light height. We all experiment with these things until we like the results. It is all trial and error.

I raised up the table and changed the fan direction inside the room. It’s like that Bruce Banger is waving at me! Every morning its leaves are up, then at night its leaves are back down. It seems happy though lol. The girls are closer to the lights now...thanks for all your insight. It’s very helpful!! Much appreciated.

I will say that the difference in height of your plants is a little surprising. Probably gonna need to put those smaller plants on top of five gallon buckets pretty soon, if you wanna keep the canopy even. That plant in the middle of the front row is gonna dwarf the others once you start flowering. Have you started flowering yet? If you haven’t, I think it’s time to. I’m counting like twelve nodes on that tall plant. It’s gonna strrrrrretch like a mofo once you start flowering.

I took both the hds uk cheese auto outside yesterday cuz one started to flower.

 

[Kushy Tushy]

Notice you haven’t mulched yet. That’s cool..... Whatever..... hahaha!!!

I’ll be mulching those cheese outside, for sure.

The ones inside have a fan on 24/7 and another fan when the lights are on....

Looks like it's time for a couple males in that greenhouse. You got this.

Good info for sure, thanks bro!

I turn them everyday and sometimes 2x.....and tuck them in @ night lol. But seriously.

I did start doing that, so thanks for the info! Much appreciated!!

They are different strains and this makes sense. Thanks for the good info! I’ve been turning them and now rotating them too.

Maybe. With those two outside anything can happen lol!!

They look wonderful! And i forgot to mention that some strains put their leaves up and down through the cycle like you described. Flat and happy and medium green just like you got there is happy plants.

 

[Kushy Tushy]

Lololol! I’m still trying to figure out my set-up.....I need a separate veg/flower area for sure. And another light. And I haven’t attempted cloning yet....but for sure that lil greenhouse will be perfect for a male. Or two.....

Cool! Thanks for the reassurance! I want to clone from it, but was wondering if it was not a good clone choice, cuz of the weird leaves.
I’ll be jumping over to your grow page to read up on your cloning methods and ask you questions lol. (It looks like you just put the cuttings in water?) I have started a few more seeds and find starting from seed really enjoyable, but want to know how to clone as well as grow from seed.

I am no expert on cloning. I am in no hurry as i have more veg than i need to keep the flower room full. So like you said. I just cut a good lower branch and put it in water until it shows roots starting. Then plant it in a cup of potting soil and perlite to finish rooting and grow. I do use a dome to finish rooting to keep humidity high. Then just harden them off to the open environment. And move them up closer to the light.

But it is a slow method.
