Thank you for the suggestion, I will flip them soon.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will flip them soon.They are running 10 lights.....all within a foot of the canopy. 10 plants 10 lights and is bare minimum. Can still be done.......personally I would flip to 12/12 already and keep them shorter, less stretch so the lights hit more main tops. Just my 2 cents
Haven't fertilized them yet. I want to startHe wrote that he's running organic soil with organic fert but didn't mention schedule.
Thank you, this is of much help@gtha87 have you tried to find a fert schedule for the fert you have? If not maybe @JIMKSI64 can share his so you know what to look for.
This is very helpful. Thank youJust search your nutrient choice but add " cannabis feed chart"

The only thing that would power a grow for 4 months would be a tailored living soil.This is my second time trying. The first time I only had two plants with the 10 lights and it worked ok. But the first time I tried adding chemical fertilizer but ran into a couple issues in the last 3 weeks of flowering. I will add photos. I feel like they should produce twice as much as what you can see in the photo.
I still don;t have a feeding schedule. So far I have need fed them anything other than water. I want to feed them organic fertilizer but have no idea what to give them and how often. Here in my country it is hard to find organic fertilizers that will give you info about it or a feeding schedule. In theory the mixture that I put them in should feed the plants for at least 4 months or at least that is what I was told. I was thinking of flipping all ten when the small ones are 2 months old. So far they are growing pretty fast but I am worried when I flip them because I know they need more feeding in that stage in order to get good nugs
Thank you. I will try to see if I can import some Gaia Green to my countryI use organic nutrients (Gaia Green), and I don't use a schedule for adding nutrients. I go by the growth stage of the plants and how well they're growing. I think the key is to understand the delay between when they're added and when they become available to the plant. That, for example, means giving them what they'll need for the stretch well before changing the light schedule.
That was my plan. I wanted to get at least 10 more. Since they are small you can hang some lower to get that light to those lower nugsNot gunna lie. I would buy a bunch of 60 watt panels at $15 a pop. Side lighting, fill in the corners, starting seedlings.
My wife found a 70 watt panel for the succulents and I almost got 4 as they were $35 bucks.

This is soil that a friend makes in his farm for his fruit trees and coffee plants. This is the only option for organic soil in my country. It is impossible to buy the bags I see online like Gaia Green and similar.The only thing that would power a grow for 4 months would be a tailored living soil.
I do not think you have that.
If you can please post the bag of dirt and the compost you started with. Let's give this a rundown.
Ok then. Let's see if you can get the ingredients for nutrition.This is soil that a friend makes in his farm for his fruit trees and coffee plants. This is the only option for organic soil in my country. It is impossible to buy the bags I see online like Gaia Green and similar.
Ok. The nutrient requirements for fruit trees and cannabis do not match because a fruit tree does not need to peak any nutrients like cannabis. The nutrition needs of cannabis change but fruit trees need the same stuff all the time.This is soil that a friend makes in his farm for his fruit trees and coffee plants.

So i can get perlite, earth worm castings, maybe peat moss (i will start asking around).Ok.

Coffee has a much lower potassium needs than cannabis and the plant would struggle with this.
But here is the thing the soil might be ok as a start to living soil for cannabis. If you could get some more peat moss to dilute the mix and possible get the ingredients for potassium ( kelp meal ) You may be able to make a soil.
This would be a huge undertaking.
Is it possible for you to get chemical plant food?
Could you get some 5 gallon buckets and some air pumps and do a hydro setup?
Not having access to stuff is rough. Obviously you have gotten lights can you get packages from out of the country like organic nutrition? Can someone send you stuff?
If the plants are green, upright, and producing new leaves, they are likely doing well for their age. A light cycle of 18–6 is good for vegetative growth, and using organic soil with 25% vermicompost can usually provide enough nutrients for the first few weeks. Having a fan for airflow and stable warmth from the heater also helps create a healthy environment. Since your other plants are 2–4 weeks old, it’s normal that they are smaller than the 5-week plants. Just make sure the lights are not too close or too far away, water properly (don’t overwater), and watch the leaf color for any nutrient deficiency signs. Overall, it sounds like a good setup for a beginner.Ok. The nutrient requirements for fruit trees and cannabis do not match because a fruit tree does not need to peak any nutrients like cannabis.

Not having access to stuff sucks. You’ve got your LED lighting built for Texas heat, but can you even get packages from out of the country like organic nutrients, or is that too much to ask?
Appreciate itNice looking room 'O' bud!!!
