Thank you very much for the advice. I had thought about the fan but wasn't sure if it was actually needed but I'm glad you told me so I'll put one in tomorrow. I'll definitely do what you said with the weight of the soil. I never thought to do that. Up until now I've been sticking my finger about an inch down to feel if the soil felt moist or not and I wasn't that comfortable with the reliability of that test determining when I should water so your suggestion makes much more sense and is definitely more practical.that blue tub doesnt hold water all day, does it? only thing id say is maybe watering too often. they look a tad drowned. its best to "know" the weight of your container with dry soil. when you water it, pick it up and now you "know" the weight of the container when the soil is wet. now you water when you realize the weight is of dry soil. make sense?
other than that she looks good. nice and green.
and try to keep the water droplets off the leaves when lights are on. bottom pic bottom right some leaves have water droplets probably from watering. careful when watering.
and i'd say with the bushiness of her you should def have an oscillating fan in your tent to keep air moving throughout the plant
also, patience. you probably dont need to adjust anything so id wait about 5-6 days before watering or changing anything except the oscillating fan
you're welcome. also make sure that the water in the blue tub doesnt stay for too long. you dont want the bottom of the soil to be soaking in water 24/7. cannabis soil needs a cycle of wet to dry to wet to dry for best results.Thank you very much for the advice.

Thanks again for the help and the great advice. I'm truly grateful. Have a great night!
I reconsidered how I use the blue tub part and I think I'll raise it up slightly like yours is so when the water runs through, it's not sitting in it like you had mentioned.you're welcome. also make sure that the water in the blue tub doesnt stay for too long. you dont want the bottom of the soil to be soaking in water 24/7. cannabis soil needs a cycle of wet to dry to wet to dry for best results.
mine is only raised 4mm. just enough to hover over the water until i return to soak it up later in the night
Thanks for the tip! I've got 4 heavy duty rope hangers so I was wondering if perhaps it might be best if I hang it from the top of the tent, pointing at an angle so it has more distance between the fan and Lazarus and hopefully reduce the amount of force the breeze from the fan exerts on the leaves? What's your opinion on that? Thanks again for the advice. I'm learning a bunch of great tips from you guys and I'm truly thankful.A clip on 6” fan blowing in between the canopy and the light is very helpful.
But to use that fan since its too powerful for the small space you can point it at the tent wall to deflect the blast. Play around until the leaves just flutter and sway a bit. And you can feel air movement all around.

I would try that. In a corner pointing across and up towards the light some. That brings cool air from the floor up through the plants and helps the exhaust fan (should be up high).
Sorry for not responding sooner. I took some time to re-arrange my grow tent to include all of the tips I've received. I've attached Lazarus to hanging straps (now hangs 29.5 inches from light) a half inch above a water collection tray that I can remove and dispose of the standing water after it drains through. I also moved Lazarus to a bigger pot so it has more room for the roots. After transplanting it, I watered it thoroughly which is 5 days after it last was watered.
I also added a small clip on fan and an exhaust fan at the top of the tent.
I've included 2 pictures of my new setup and was hoping you could take a look and let me know if you see anything that is problematic. Also, I'm confused about when and if I should add more fertilizer which I last added on 4/16 (4 tsp.).
Thanks again for any tips or ideas you might have! Hope you have a great weekend!!
I hope she's a female too! I started it on a whim with a loose seed I found in one of my stash bags so no telling how it's going to work out. I really appreciate all the tips you've given me. I've done tons of reading online about growing for the first time but they're never really specific in the articles when they talk about watering and fertilizing. Having someone like you who knows what they're doing really helps, especially for a rookie like me. I'm going to go change the fan now like you suggested and then sit back for a few days and relax and let it do its thing.First I hope “Lazarus” is a girl. Lol
Try placing the clip fan halfway up between the top of the plant and the lamp.
Point it up towards the light some until the blast of wind is above the canopy and the leaves shake and twitter randomly. But the branches do not sway much.
The leaves should lift up more and be looser rather than droopy. She looks strong. I would wait until she dries out more than last time even. Dont worry about days. Worry about the pot being alarmingly light. Like whoa! Now its light.
Try waiting one note day than you think is how i learned. You will see lower leaves droop before upper when its getting tume to water.
Decide about fertilizer next week when she is dry and fully recovered.
You will know. She will look happy and vibrant.
Nice work. I can see you are trying to do things right!

Thanks again for all your help. I'll reach out in a few days to provide an update on its progress. Hope you have a great week!
I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Is there something online I should read that would help identify the culprit here? I am, as always, very grateful for any help or guidance. Hope you have a great day!Reading is hard
HELP ME PLEASE!! So I sat back for a few days and I didnt touch Lazarus at all. No water, no anything. I had last watered her on April 26th and then I waited until May 5th to water it again. When I went to water her on the 5th, I noticed what you see in the attached pictures. The leaves are shriveling and turning yellow, and the ones on the very bottom have died completely. I have no idea what I did wrong or how to save her again. It looks like its spreading up now towards the top of the plant. What do I do? I'm so bummed because I thought everything was going good and now I feel like I definitely did something wrong and she's a goner. Any ideas on what's causing this and what to do now? Thanks so much for taking time to help me with this most recent problem. Much appreciated!
