I'll be back later CG
I know what your going though.. It's not funny or kool
I went though 200 beans trying to get them to pop...... you get to a point where it's like what the f..k
Give that 1 plant a solo cup of water a day...... if it's not running off it's not over water.... wheen you see a little run off wait 1 day 2 max and start again....
get it into a fad pot or whatever you went to use...new soil 2 weeks before flip
let that take you into flower then if needed a little food like 4 weeks in flower.....
I hope you the best.... I wish you wwerre close I would let you pop my beans,, and run your plants though veg with you 1 time ....
Bro you can GROW......... Hands Down you just need to find your grove......
and that''s not going to happen with 10 people telling you diff shit........... I'm sry but it just not.... You have bee en going down this road a LONG Time.....
Dude I just read you having watering issues in another thread but I'll post this in here for you
Don't know if it's been said but I guarantee if you follow these directions you will overcome your watering issues very quickly
1) fill a pot the same size as your growing in with the same Medium you're growing in & leave it dry and sit it aside
2) when you think a plant is ready to be watered pick them both up and if they feel about the same weight then water
3) BUT if they're NOT the same weight, even by a small difference (some people actually weigh them) do not water at that point! Wait till they're the same weight!
This will quickly teach you a proper wet/dry watering cycle; hope this helps, if you have any other questions stop by the beach house in grow journals, good luck
Also a proper wet/dry watering cycle will minimize fungus gnats; there are other things that can be done to control and or eliminate them as well, if you're interested stop by the beach house cuz I've recently addressed fungus gnats on my thread.So a couple things, reading the replies..
1. Okay @bunkerking , i saw your hanna tut, and il do that next time, so i get a better reading. I appreciate it man!
2. @707finisher , seeing that plant, it looks alot like mine in the veg stage, it looks a little droopy, not its full potential you know, so its motivating seeing yours flower that well. i can still get there with what i have. i just need to keep working at it. its just beyond frustrating right now lol.
I am going to do a 25% perlite/roots organics mix when i transplant these seedlings into 1 gallons.
3. I havent used Promix HP because of the fungus gnat issue ive heard it has. I really dont want bugs right now, because of all the other issues im having. That will just stress me out more. I do have a big bag of promix in the closet though. @MIMedGrower I know youve said youve ran your perpetual grow for awhile, and youve never had any fungus gnat issue with promix? if thats what you use.
4. I dont mind doing daily work, i am a huge computer nerd-introvert whose trying to grow weed. I like gaming, i like computer programming and i like smoking and growing/trying to grow weed. My tent is sitting right behind me as we speak. I dont mind daily work, and i have the time. With this being said, should i maybe make a switch to a promix/coco? I know, it might be a drastic switch but maybe this would help my overwatering? Im starting to get down when to water the plants, i got the 4-5 day cycles going, i think i am smart enough now to water coco mediums correctly, since its pretty hard to overwater i dont think i would with those. This is just an idea. Opinions?
those 2 that look good bigger then the rest... how old ??? those the 1's that are 18"This phones camera blows, it was advertised as a "above average" camera when i bought this phone, and its proving wrong. Either way. I know this isnt a grow diary, but i just wanted to post a quick update, like i said above it kind of helps me keep track of things, i can just pop back on here and look at dates and what not. But i also wanted to post because well, this is the furthest i have gotten in awhile. I think i finally got it. I could be wrong. I say i get it, and then bam i go and fuck up again, so im sure ill be back to struggles at some point. But, for me, this is looking good. Just need to keep things rolling from here, i got my watering method down that ive been doing that so far... so far.. has been keeping these girls happy.
The autoflower, it is what it is, shes been Nute-less the whole grow and i dont think i have time to really pump nutes into her.
I figured i would have killed her by now.
3 NEW SEEDLINGS inside the tent
3 NEW SEEDS GERMINATED
Im about to have some space issues now. Lmao. I just germinate extra because of how much i kill. But now things are rolling i think im going to either have to chuck some so i dont get OVER my head and become to much for such an inexperienced person, or im going to have to suck it and try my best and make some space. I dont know.
You can see the one small girl upfront is a little droopy, im still trying to get her to recover from the time i overwatered her, i see success in her though, i think well be okay.

This was the unspoken autoflower i threw in with these girls... little bit of background:
FFOF
3 Gallon Pot
Northern Lights Autoflower
Completely Nutrient Free (I know, a fuck up)
No transplants. Just Phed water.

You can tell shes definitely not what she could have been. I wish i focused on her a little bit more, but hell i didnt think id get this far with her, i severely overwatered her in the beginning.
I think if i can get these plants to flower, and have a successful harvest, i will start a grow diary for my next grow, assuming id be successful. For right now im just going to kind of keep updating in my recent help threads instead of creating new posts and jamming up the forums with all my shit.
Question, I know it goes by strain, and to be honest, i have no clue what strains im even growing right now, i just got a bunch of seeds online,and germinated them, they are GOOD genetics from 00 genetics i think theyre called, so theyre not just bag seeds i just dont know strain. But my question is, what do you guys experience for an AVERAGE STRETCH, going into flower? Does your plant normally double? triple? maybe only grow a third of its size more? Just what do you guys average, ill take that average into consideration when throwing these girls into flower. I know what you guys say may be off because of strain etc, but ill atleast have an idea of what space ill need going into flower.
i have a bunch of options ranging from an 8x2 closet to a 4x4 tent, and im currently in a 2x4x6 tent. I want my top cola to reach the 4 foot mark. thats my goal for this first grow is just to hit a 4 foot plant, to me thats a nice, full grown maryjane plant. i know theyare mature much younger, but i want a nice full grown plant. So i know ill atleast need a 6 foot tent with lights hanging etc."
How about some light suggestions to flower a 4x4? I got a stupid meizhi 900 and 450w(not true watts) and after hearing some reviews, im pretty upset i got them and notsome quantum boards. I spent like 400 bucks on these dumb things and could have gotten something way better lol. 0-$200 dollar price range maybe?
Growing is becoming more enjoyable, its not a stress anymore, i dont think, maybe later on, but the confidence level is much higher to fix the incoming issues. What a journey of ups and downs. Hopefully theres some other newbies out there lurking my threads learning from all my fuck ups so they dont have to deal with the stressors and "Wtfs?" i did. lol.
I havent switched to 12/12, they dont do this until the flip correct?you're doing okay, go easy on yourself. stay on course. all good, allow yourself to make mistakes.
you are getting good advise here from our community...keep your chin up.
it looks like it's doing their pre-flower stretch? they look good!
Looking Good CG................ Been there also with the beans... You look like your starting to find a sweet spot for your growing needs.....
Man I would Flip those and get into flower.......
We know you can pop beans........Hint..... time to get Rolling CG......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to Flower To Buds Hanging.........
I havent switched to 12/12, they dont do this until the flip correct?
there you go, its hard sometimes to tell from photos. i forgot, were these auto-flowers or feminised?
in any case, the stretched growth looks strong, thick and healthy - maybe i need my eyes checked. i'm telling ya, you're doing good, its healthy grow responding to nutrients, lights and general growing conditions.
i assumed you flipped them, as we have been encouraging you to do so. and i say here, FLIP 'EM, they're big enough to give ya a decent harvest, no? 8 to 9 weeks after changing to 12/12 cycle at least....
are they 5-gallon pots? just trying to get the photo in perspective...
you can always manipulate those 2 taller stems...shape the plant to suit.
you will Still be screwing around with it......Man, im ready to see some buds. Hours of work just to put a tent up, months of work just to fix an overwatering issue. Its time for some damn buds. LOL. I think the setup is CORRECT and good to go now though, i dont think anymore changing up or switching up, which is nice. im sick of moving around.
