UPDATE: Yall should’ve seen me the other day, I woke up and my entire plant was drooping. I started freaking the hell out only to come to realize that she was thirsty. She’s drinking a lot more water as she grows (as yall have told me) but damn I didn’t realize it’d be this quick!!

On a positive note, I’m flipping to flower tonight. Gonna have her at a 6pm-6am lights off due to sunset and sunrise where I live. Wish me luck guys, I really want this to work out!! Sorry for no pictures but she’s looking good!! I’ll upload some in the morning when lights are on.

Here she is for the switch of flower guys, brought my Scrog net down which means I no longer have a sheet dimming the light. So hopefully she is big and strong enough to withstand the light now. As far as horizontal room, I’m pretty much to my match. So the plan is to let her grow vertically as much as she wants without reaching too close to the light. Hopefully this net will help me keep her tamed. I did some more LST and defoliation just now right before I brought the net down. Here are some pics of her right now. Let me know what yall think, ANY criticism positive or negative will help. Thanks again for everything!!

She has a very healthy color. Looks good.

Did you start with the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom? How far is it from the canopy up to the light?
Thank you sir. And yes I did with Big Bloom on this last water, 3 days ago. I have heard lots of mixed reviews about tiger bloom so I was a little worried about using it. I do have all 3 so if you think I should introduce I absolutely will on the next Nute feed. I’m glad to hear the color is good!!

Right now my plant coms 5 inches tall from top of my pot. And I only have 19 inches from top of canopy to the light.

Any chance of you moving the humidifier out of the tent and centering the plant a little better? Does your humidifier come with a feed hose so that you can position it outside the tent and pipe in the humidity? Once you flip you're going to experience a stretch period where the plant will double or even triple in size. The branches on the right are already getting close to the wall. I'd flip very soon anticipating the stretch that is going to happen. One way you can limit stretch if you feel the plant will get too big is to keep your lights off temps within a couple of degrees of your lights on temps.

Your ScrOG looks good. I would try and splay out more of the center branches so that you don't get your leaves bunching up and blocking light. If they are too small to reach the next line you can use a bamboo stake cut down to the size you want to hold it down. Kind of an LST device on its own.

BTW nice job on saving her from her early ordeal. As I was perusing through the journal when I got to the part where your leaves were yellowing and dying off I thought "Uh oh. Looks like he's got some sort of lockout or cal or mag deficiency! Hope he was able to save it." but the plant looks nice and healthy.

Quick tip......a week or two before I flip I like to do a 50/50 grow/bloom blend. I keep this blend up into mid flower then I go pure bloom. I see a lot of newer growers stop using their grow base and switching to bloom base the moment they flip their lights. The stretch period I talked about earlier is going to need all the nitrogen it can get. Flower growth also depends on a healthy amount of nitrogen. Once I hit week 5 or 6 of flower I stop blending and go straight bloom to the end.

Some info that I found on another site that filled in a lot of info that I had questions on or never fully got an explanation. I am not the author.

This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm not presenting my opinions as facts so take from this what you like. I will be putting it in subsection format for easy reference.

First, I want to make an important point to take into consideration before reading. The tap root will grow directly downwards to the bottom of the container before spreading out.

PERCHED WATER TABLE

What is it?

The perched water table is basically the height of the saturation zone where capillary action and gravity cancel each other out. This area will be saturated with water and will be responsible most growers' issues with watering practices especially in soil grows.

WHAT IS CAPILLARY ACTION

CAPILLARY action is the combination of the cohesive and adhesive properties of water.

In short adhesion is water clinging to the media (think of it like wicking or soaking up)

Cohesion is where the water clings to itself.

So, as the water is wicked up (adhesion) it pulls more water with it through Cohesion and at the point gravity and these properties cancel eachother out is the perched water table.

This perched water table will always remain the SAME HEIGHT and will always stay saturated unless taken up by the plants or evaporates when the pot dries out. No matter the container height, depth or volume of media. So, if a tall skinny container had a perched water table of 1" then a short wide one of the same media will also have a perched water table of 1". Which means the ratio of water to air in a wide pot will be higher than a tall skinny pot which will have a higher air to water ratio... keep this in mind as we get further.

Different media's have different perched water tables. A more absorbent media will have a higher perched water table than a less absorbent media... REMEMBER THIS as it makes a big difference on pot selection for your media.

DIFFERENT MEDIA

Water holding capacity is directly related to the height of the perched water table so soils with more clay or silt and less sand will have a higher perched water table than those with more sand because sand is a larger particle.

The larger the overall particles of the media the lower the perched water table and better the drainage.

By adding things like perlite or vermiculite (while vermiculite is good at absorbing water it also improves drainage so its helpful in keeping a more even level of moisture throughout the media while increasing drainage due to its size) we can lower the perched water table by reducing the wicking (adhesion) ability and creating more space between particles overall reducing the cohesion effect and, in turn, the height of the perched water table.

Media like peat based or coco have a much higher drainage and lower perched water table than soil and are therefore less susceptible to over watering but will require more frequent watering due to the lower water holding capacity.

Adding things like perlite or hydroton to the bottom of the pots will NOT reduce the water table but instead raise it. This is because as I said the height of the water table will not change for a given media. So, if you add things like that to the bottom you are essentially just moving the water table up.

Basically, the larger the particles IN the media the better drainage and lower the water table.

If you want to see the height of your perched water table use a clear cup with drain holes fill with media and saturate it. Wait a few hrs for drainage and then come back and look. You can see the difference in the varying media's if you want to experiment.

If you feel you have over watered or your perched water table height is to high you can simply tilt your pot on a 45 degree angle and release more water from the media as runoff. To help visualize think of it this way if you have a perched water table of 2”. You can draw an imaginary horizontal line at that height, when you tilt the pot you have less media below that line and therefore you will have less water in the pot after tilting it.

POT SIZE

I have already covered this a bit but my opinion is if you are using a media with a higher water table you will benefit from taller narrower pots and if using a media with a lower perched water table the shorter wider ones may benefit you depending on your watering practices.

I prefer the taller over wider no matter the media as I choose to water often and have a higher air holding capacity and lower water table but that can work against you if you can't water as frequently and as plants grow it can greatly increase the frequency required as the roots will be pulling the water out of that saturation zone quickly. So, you may want to use taller pots for small plants and transplant into a wider one as they grow.

You also don't want a pot that's too tall and the top portion of the media is drying out to fast while the bottom is wet.

Let's use seedlings as an example take a solo cup or a large container... the water table will be the same height in either. I see sooo often ppl trying to water a tiny bit in circles or mist the surface and for lack of other words IT DRIVES ME NUTS! Why? Because the roots are so shallow they are not at risk of being over watered. Remember though tap roots grow straight down so we need to be mindful as they grow depending on the gas exchange of the media that the majority of roots are not sitting in the saturated zone with poor gas exchange because this will cause lack of oxygen that we incorrectly refer to as overwatering which is actually the cause not the symptom.

It's important to fill containers to the top to give us a good amount of space above the perched water table that high in o2. If you fill a solo cup halfway with soil it's likely to be sitting in the saturation zone and will not do well.


Also going to make the point that plants will be most susceptible to overwatering when the roots first hit the bottom and spread out until they fill the bottom and start moving back up out of the saturation zone. So, again, it may be more beneficial to use a taller narrow pot for the early stages of growth (2-4 weeks depending on growth) and transplant into a wider pot as you go. After the transplant almost all of the roots will be above the saturation zone and it becomes much harder to over water. New roots will again work their way down into the saturation zone but you will have plenty above so it's less likely to over water and why up potting as you go I see as a benefit instead of starting in a large wide container.

POT MATERIAL

Some prefer plastic others fabric, air pots etc.

This can affect the perched water table by evaporation as the lager the exposed surface area the more evaporation that occurs from the media in say fabric pots. This imo has a few benefits.... slightly reducing the perched water table but more so the exposure for gas exchange that's happening and that's a good thing for o2 levels in the root zone that I feel are directly related to growth rates and I'll explain why going a bit off topic for a second.

It's no coincidence that the fastest growing media's have the highest amounts of o2 and gas exchange.... for eg aeroponics have unlimited to rich o2 and water. Hydro similar with slightly less o2, soilless media's such as coco and I would possibly include peat and last soil. If you notice they are in order of growth rates and its not hard to see the difference in their air holding capacity in that order. And the fact that larger particles also have a better gas exchange rate. This is important because the plants take in oxygen and expel co2 in the rootzone as do the microbes on top of that so good gas exchange is important for both.

Just a note... air pruning has nothing to do with the benefits of fabric pots all it does is signal the roots to grow in a different direction.

But let's get back on topic of watering and how it's affected.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

The warmer the temps the more evaporation occurs.

The lower your humidity the more evaporation occurs

The more surface area exposed to air movement (wind) the more evaporation.

Think those don't need an explanation. But the difference in pot material coupled with these environmental factors will have an impact on your watering needs.

The temperature of the media not only affects evaporation but also directly affect the temperature of the plant and leaf temps. This has a large impact on nutrient uptake and transportation.

First let me say that this next part is opinion and I will give my reasoning for my opinions. With the exception of hydro (leaving this part out as this post is about watering not hydro) roots like to be about the same temperature as the leaves contrary to what's talked about from many prominent growers in the industry but not all like Dr. Bruce Bugbee. IMO ideal root temps are the same as ideal leaf temps and overall plant temps especially since the root temps have a large impact on the plant and leaf temps. What are ideal temps imo and many studies show that leaf temps (NOT AIR TEMPS) of around 77f are most efficient. So how does a cool rootzone impact the plants negatively? Well, it's 2 fold because of the cool temps the viscosity (Measurment of flow rate) of the sap will decrease so it's harder for the plant to move the nutrients through the plant. The other is absorption and one fact is that in a cooler rootzone the concentration of nutrients is higher (but you just said it slows absorption) well it does as the nutrients build up in the roots it can absorb less and this has a direct impact negatively on the plant. It may appear to be overwatered because the plant is now struggling to take up and use oxygen. Add that to the slowed transpiration rates and you have the same symptom many refer to overwatering which again is lack of o2. Now take a cold rootzone where the plants slow water uptake and then add the saturation zone to it and you can see the road to correction and recover is a long one and can have huge impact on growth and yields.

So, get your pots up off the floor 😁

WET AND DRY CYCLES

in soil and peat with higher water tables or with wider pots or combination of wet and dry cycles are important. This is to allow the dry back (including the uptake of water from the saturation zone) to prevent symptoms of over watering and help with o2 levels. Remember the majority of roots will end up in the saturation zone with these media's or with wider pots. Which can become depleted of o2 quickly as gas exchange is lower in water and media made up of smaller particles. This is where pot size and shape are important for the size of plant. You have a small plant in large container and there is no way it can take up enough of the water in the saturation zone fast enough to get air exposure in a media that has low gas exchange and majority of the roots. So, it's important to choose a pot size that will allow for this. It's also why using the finger method to gauge watering is poor and lifting the pots is much better... when they are light you know they have taken up a good portion of the saturation zone and are ready to be watered again.

This is much less of an issue when using soilless like coco or peat/perlite.

That’s great question, I did not come across any tubing for it. But I may have some laying around that’ll work. I was hoping the plant could just be taller than the humidifier but with the small tent it’s not an option. I use a space heater at night about 5-6ft away from the tent that keeps the light off temp right at 71-72F. I can definitely raise that a couple degrees and basically match my lights on temp.

I appreciate the comment on the Scrog, I will say I was worried with it because I almost felt like the ropes pushing on the plant would hurt it so I tried to be light. I will get the middle spread out tomorrow morning when the lights are on.

I have been using Grow Big since the beginning, and gave my fist 50/50 with big bloom about 3-4 days ago, a little early before my flip yesterday but I ran out of room really quick.

Thank you for that! Dude I was losing my mind for a couple weeks because I couldn’t find what I was doing wrong. But the team in hear gave me lots of advice, and got her turned around in no time. I’m glad to hear from other experienced growers that she’s looking good in color, size, health, etc. it’s a confidence booster for sure to get this down right.

You may want to look into using a controller for your tent. This way you can control and monitor several devices at once. This will allow you to be able to view your temp and humidity readings and adjust your exhaust fan to better match the environmental specs you want. It will also allow you to be able to control your humidifier and whatever other device you may use that can be controlled by the controller.

I like AC Infinity but there are several companies, Vivosun is one that comes to mind, that also have the same type of gear. I prefer AC Infinity because I believe they have the highest quality equipment but that is my personal opinion. Take a look at their site. Some cool gear that'll make your grow more enjoyable.


I appreciate the comment on the Scrog, I will say I was worried with it because I almost felt like the ropes pushing on the plant would hurt it so I tried to be light. I will get the middle spread out tomorrow morning when the lights are on.

These plants are very hardy and hard to kill once you get them going. When I set my nets up for a ScrOG people tend to freak out thinking I'm abusing the plants but they are very resilient.

I have been using Grow Big since the beginning, and gave my fist 50/50 with big bloom about 3-4 days ago, a little early before my flip yesterday but I ran out of room really quick.

Grow Big is set up for hydroponic in the flower phase . The one I'm looking at is a 3-2-6 ratio. Not enough N. You may want to change up your nutrient selection. I use FloraNova from General Hydroponics. Their Grow ratio is 7-4-10.

Thank you for that! Dude I was losing my mind for a couple weeks because I couldn’t find what I was doing wrong. But the team in hear gave me lots of advice, and got her turned around in no time. I’m glad to hear from other experienced growers that she’s looking good in color, size, health, etc. it’s a confidence booster for sure to get this down right.
They sure did! Good luck with the rest of the grow.

Little update for yall. Switch to flower has went flawless I believe. Got my first frosty hairs!! Everything seems to be going good, I’m just trying to keep her low. That’s seeming to be my biggest challenge right now. Moved my humidifier right outside my tent like someone recommended and I’ve been able to keep solid levels. Little anxious, Tell me something good!!

Right now my plant coms 5 inches tall from top of my pot. And I only have 19 inches from top of canopy to the light.
She's going to keep reaching up for that light so keep pushing those tops under the net and don't let her close the gap. You still got a couple months to go and not much room to work in. Looks good!

Looks good! As long as your light levels are good you won't get branches reaching. If you're not sure what that is look into DLI(Daily Light Integral).

What’s up everyone. Little picture/video update for yall. I’m starting to see lots of orange on the hairs. I switched to flowering on Jan 15th, are these colors to early or is this normal? Sorry for the stupid question but yall always answer them well 😂
Other than that I think things are going as good as they can. I ran out of room to tuck and bend the branches under the net, mostly because I’m scared to hurt the plant or scrape the bud sites on the netting, so my last move was to push the net down and it honestly took the canopy down around an inch. Happy with whatever I can get.
Please let me know what yall think, again this is my first ever grow so I’ll take ANY criticism I can get. Appreciate you all!

Think you've done an excellent job keeping her low to the ground. I don't see any light issues. I think if she grows taller now she will acclimate to the increase in intensity as she grows. Should be an easy, patient farm till harvest. Watch those buds get big, sticky and stanky.

I really appreciate that. That was my main worry was the stretch to the light as you mentioned a couple weeks ago so I kept her down as you said. I’m happy to hear the good review brother I really really appreciate it. Can’t wait to see what she becomes. Thanks for all the advice again!
