m13 · Jul 5, 2020

hi all, new grower here, i’ve been watering only when soil feels dry, trimmed some off the lower area of plant for air flow, but some of the leaves are curling inward, & yellow around the edge, i assume it was too hot as my areas been in a heat wave for the last week or so, not sure if i need to trim off more or what i’m doing or not doing correctly, any help is greatly appreciated, if it helps, these were clones, one is bruce banner & the other is freak. Never been one for strain names just gives a buzz or not lol both are in bx m 30 medium, were given a 4-4-4 powder feed about a month ago

do i need to trim off more? i heard you should be able to see your hand thru the leaves if you put it behind the plant

Really for outdoor its kinda hard to over water since the ground tends to absorb and distribute the water pretty well, Even more so if you ammended the soil your self and added perlite or sand to help drainage.

Ya give em a little more till it comes out just a little dont over do it.plastic gets hot in that sun n the roots totally need a good wetting.

Hey M , don't follow any weird general rule like " till you can see your hands thru em "
While growing , you are going to hear so much bullshit advice that your head will explode , I'm sure from well meaning people , first ask yourself how many grows has that person done ?
Also stick to your own observations , that's where you'll get the best advice , from your own conclusions .....
You can give the plant a little trim in the center and where it's getting super dense , but just a little trim , not to the point where you see thru the plant .....

How many gallons is a recycle bin anyway I'm curious ? Well my 2 indoor that are in 7 gallon fabric pots It takes almost the 5 gallon pail of water for 2. So you get the idea ya 4 litres is not close enough .

they’re 53L or around 40gal, didn’t fill right to top with soil so i’m guessing around 40gal....
