Usually I say this in veg. If you let them dry to wilt you will learn when to water much faster and save yourself some headaches down the road. I mean we don't wanna do that in flower but I think it still might be better in the end of you did. After you have the watering down then can look to see what nutrient needs might be. But you can't really do that until the watering is correct because it affects nutrient uptake.Okay cool, thanks.
I’ve been trying to water correctly. Only when the pots feel much lighter; now that they are flowering, that seems to be every other day. A few weeks ago it seemed like lockout. Phosphorus deficiency maybe, with copper color spots and such.
I've no love for themIm growing in some crappy store bought organic soil, Kellogg’s or something. My normal grow shop was down because of the virus, so I got what I could at the time.
I’ve only tested my ph, as I don’t fully understand reading and understanding ppm.
honestly I think a lot of my problems have been the soil, which seems to run hot. And the fact that I was told to keep autos in the same size pot the whole run, which led me to under watering, the roots grew faster, bigger and earlier than I’m used too.
ph os importantOkay cool, thanks.

20% run offSo I’ll let it dry out a bit and then water with ph water. I’m still trying to understand watering as silly as that sounds.
so when I water, I water till runoff. How much runoff do I need to see? It usually almost fills up the tray under the plants.
thanks for the advice, it’s crazy how it seems like the simple stuff is what’s messing me up
ph os important
can lock us out
ur gonna need to retain this
aqua?
soil?
q good meter helps
here
u can c the range
that locks out
they should always b drinkin
if the ppm (amt of fert) doesn't flux
we know something iszup
if they don't drink
we know....
I totally agree. Over watering is a bitch. I’ve done it. The styrofoam pot is the best analogy ive ever heard.A good wet dry cycle is important. Don't be afraid to underwater them till you get the hang of it. The soil should be light almost like when you first bought it. Like a styrofoam pot. Many new growers think it's supposed to stay wet but not the case.
I kinda feel like it's a watering issue to me it looks maybe over watered now. Under watered in a hot mix will usually show some signs of tox and the whole plant will droop like it's dying.
Over watering the leafs will droop but not so much the petioles (stem to the leaf) believe me you will know when you under water but they usually bounce back fast unlike over watering.
When you over water it's not to much water it's watering to often. This causes a lack of o2 in the rootzone and the plants slow/stop transpiring. In turn they are not taking up nutrients.
Now you damaged leaves will not get better and the WILL get worse. Let it dry out and pay attention to new growth only.
Imo organic needs just a little runoff since we aren't needing to flush anything from the media. If you are adding inorganic nutrients then I would say 10-20% runoff is good.So I’ll let it dry out a bit and then water with ph water. I’m still trying to understand watering as silly as that sounds.

Hey man we all have to start somewhere if there is one lesson you wanna walk away from a first grow with... It's how to water properly. This grow is all about the learn man... Trial byThanks all! Going to take all this into consideration. Hopefully these girls will make it through flowering.
My next run will definitely be photoperiod, I didn’t have enough time to be a newbie with these haze autos lol
