Thanks, that makes sense
How much are you watering each day before you see runoff?
As of now, they're eating half a gallon a day before i see anything at the bottom, i usually stop when it starts pooling in the tent. I've got some lower fan leaves browning and yellowing, but i don't see anything unusual per say. I also have them under a bright strong light and they stretched up probably closer than i'd like, but haven't shown extensive signs of stress, very slight leaf curl at the very tip that doesn't seem to ever get any worse. What i thought was strange is that they were eating this much every few days until week 3 flower and now they're eating that much every day, every morning the soil is bone dry and the fabric pots are as light as a feather. I haven't slowed down on nutes, either, i'm giving them the entire humboldt's and fox farms lines combines at full dosage. plus Bud Up powder at every feed. They're hungry for being under one spiderfarmer SF7000
Sounds like unhealthy roots from poor watering practices. If they were healthy roots that filled the 5 gallon pots, they could probably take 1.5 gallons every 2-3 days. Got pics?
The light should theoretically be too much, yes, but i've been following a schedule laid out by a scientist i watched online that said the amount of light the plant could take, as well as food and water, were in direct relation to how well-balanced they weere and that in reality they could be fed 3x a normal schedule. Honestly, i think the light will be too much as close as it is because it's recommended to have it at 18-24 inches in flower, but i can also turn it down(hate to do that before it stresses!), and i didn't wanna risk super-cropping because as you said they really look healthy. I never had to really water outdoor, this being my first indoor lockout is a possibility, but i haven't seen them slow down at all, if you magnify you can see the bud sites are both abundant and healthy.
