It looks like a good one. I've never used a meter. I use a colorimetric type that uses a reagent.This one is way nicer and is way different as well. I actually am looking forward to using it, so don't dampen my joy. Lol!
I understand. There are plenty of useful gadgets and devices available for growing great weed. We're really enjoying our last crop of Acapulco Gold.I guess I just figure that I bought all this crap and by golly ima use every bit of it.
Trim lower leaves that are too far from the light. Yeah.Whoop! I remember now. Should I cut those bad leaves off the bottoms so they don't take away from the good ones?
Ok so light you’re at say 20” roughly an arm length (I’m assuming elbow to fingertips) what is the full wattage of the light and I saw you have it at 25%Hello Expert Groupies! I am back for further instruction. Also want everyone to know that once we've recovered from their illness I will be a lot less of a pest.
At this point, if you'll recall, the Girls went into Soil on 4/7. That was a whole 36 days ago and they still are very short. Is this a nirmal height? When will they take off? I've attached side photos that will show you.
I wonder if this is because they are/were sick?
Or is it because I clipped those those dying lower leaves off and made the others lonely? I still think that was the right thing to do because dudesaid so and because I read that the vitamins and such need to go to the healthy parts and not the sick parts.
Is it because I tend to stir their top soil, about an inch down, when I rotate them so they all get equal lighting? Idky I do that, I just do.
I am still at 25% FS LED, at an arms length above them, for 16hrs a day. Is that where I should remain? When will I raise the intensity again?
Some days the temp and humidity are good. Some days I have to use the heater. Most days I use the fans, tilted down toward the floor. Sometimes when it's hot outside I have the flaps open to offer them great air flow for a while that doesn't jack up the power bill.
These are the kinds of things I been doing. Are some of them no good. Should I be doing something else?
I just gotta do this right but I feel like they should be doing much better and be much bigger.
Thanks- WeebleK
Ok so you’re around 35” to the light at 100wThanks for responding. Armpit to wrist. 25% of the VS4000 which I believe is 400 watt full spectrum LED, because there wasn't a 300 available to buy. I did want a 300 though. Smh. Also, the lights just went off at 430. Is it ok for me to pull them out 1 at a time to photograph? Or should I wait til they come back on at 1230? - WeebleK
There are things that can be done. Slow growth doesn't mean you won't get a good crop. It's just frustrating. My plants grow slowly, too. It might be due to the soil. Your plants look healthy, though. They may just need time to adapt to their environment.I don't know what I can do about the Soil at this point.
No worries. Your plants are growing. The experts aren't sick of you. I'm not sick of you. TBH, there aren't many women here, so being one of the few myself, I'm happy you're here. I joined last July and have only harvested one crop—so far. I have two crops growing now. One is about to flower and the other is still in intermediate, one-gallon pots. So, relax and enjoy watching them grow.It's just that they don't seem to be growing and I feel like the experts are sick of me already, but I still need advice and input. You know?
I doubt this grow will be crap. Folks here will help, but not everyone grows in soil. (Let's call it soil, please.) There are different growing methods for different growing media. At some point, you'll need to decide which growing method works best for you. As for me, I prefer an organic method, but I didn't begin with it.Anyway, next time I plan to do really great dirt. So I guess as far as this grow goes it will be crap unless I figure the rest out on my own. The poor girls.
Yep I see things improved on last photos, with patience they will recover. But this is how we all learned, by making mistakes, it can be frustrating for sure but it's not the end of the world. Cannabis most of the time (genetics dependant) will be really resilient ;-)Thanks Guy. I got decent Soil when I repotted and also the Perlite. I have done 2 Slurry Tests and both were good. I don't know what I can do about the Soil at this point. I don't know if it's a good idea to keep changing it. Maybe if I mixed some in and then some more? Idk? All I do know at this point is that the leaves do look better and I think we've gotten past the heat stroke they were in, I guess, because once I pulled those lower sick leaves the new leaves look ok. Don't you think? It's just that they don't seem to be growing and I feel like the experts are sick of me already, but I still need advice and input. You know? I've done everything I been told to do so far and so think I've been respectful of everybody's input, and I know you guys are busy as hell. Probably just my paranoia. Anyway, next time I plan to do really great dirt. So I guess as far as this grow goes it will be crap unless I figure the rest out on my own. The poor girls. Lol! Thanks again- WeebleK.
