I want to call BS....with a smiley face...lol don't tell me you can't really lift the pots.....yes you can...unless of course I missed something and you're disabled is so I apologize. What I'm getting at is you just need to lift enough to see if its light or heavy, I can one handed reach in and lift 3 - 5 gallon pots .....not off the ground but enough to feel the weight, if its light of water I can almost lift them straight up, if not they don't need it yet.....Even in a scrog it just has to be lifted an inch to know if its light or not.....Today’s pics:

Since I can’t really lift the pots too much to tell if they need water, I’ve been using a soil tester. The plant on the bottom needs a feeding (shows dry as deep as it goes), and the top plant is dry about 3” down, but then reads “normal”. I’m going to wait a few more hours and test again, then I’ll do a feeding on both, and just use less on the top plant.
Beyond that, they’re looking and smelling just fine

If in doubt look at your records and see when you last fed / watered...if they get it every 3 - 4 days and you're on one of those days then giver what she needs and take note.
1/2 feeds are not a great idea, feed them both at the same time but saturate the soil on both then let dry get the food to all of the roots not just on top, top wet bottom dry???

Quite a few tops are now through the second netting, and aside from some leaf tucking and top training where applicable, nothing else has changed.
The lights have been on 100% for the last week and I’m not seeing any light stress. The lights are also pretty high up, maybe another inch or so from being maxed out. There’s still a 22-26” distance from the canopy to the light, so I think that’s all good and doesn’t need any further adjustment.
The lower plant felt light, so I used my soil tester and was “dry+” throughout in the few test spots I put it in. The top plant still has some weight and is reading “normal” once the probe goes halfway down.
I fed the bottom plant just a few minutes ago - about a gallon, and I have another gallon ready to go for the top plant. I’ll test it again throughout the day, and if I have to wait until tomorrow, no biggie.
I did change around my humidity sensor and humidity settings a smidge. The outlet that’s controlled by the humidity sensor is now about halfway up the tent, and kicks on between 45% and 51%. I had it at 48% to 55%, but with the colder temps coming in, and having to have my pellet stove going, the humidity in the basement drops to less than 30%.
I was able to raise it to 34% before I went to bed using a few damp towels in front of the stoves blower and another small humidifier halfway across the basement.
The reason I adjusted the sensor and settings is so that I wouldn’t run out of water in my tent humidifier while I’m sleeping as it was just constantly running trying to reach 55% that it likely won’t hit during the winter.
That’s all for now :)
Almost every strain available is a hybrid at this point unless you're growing a landrace strain. It's hard to say a strain is a 60/40 vs 80/20, etc... There's definitely Sativa genetics in there with how narrow those leaves are. Bud structure is another indicator of Indica vs Sativa genetics. Indica strains tend to be denser, more compact and Sativa strains tend to be fluffier, more elongated. Phenotypes are another factor to consider. Some seeds of the same strain can exhibit more traits for one vs the other. Without having at least some sense of what you're growing it's hard to say.
Healthy looking plants, keep it up!
Oh for sure. I know I'll never know what % of indica vs sativa there is, but I was pleasantly surprised to see narrower leaves. And yeah, I have no idea what strains or genetics these seeds came from since it was bag seed that my dealer gave me. I didn't know that about the bud structure!
Thanks! I'm surprised how well they're doing considering this is my first time :)
