In the mountains of reading I have done. I have never read those booksI know shameful. Without reading them I have no idea of content. It's probably something I should do. I spend all my time reading studies on plants process and shit trying to understand how plants work thinking maybe that info is dated. In hindsight that's probably where I should have started.
That's my plan upon retirement. Still a ways to go but in going back to school to take something I actually enjoy. Not for lesson on false history that's for sureShow off, you are reading the real stuff. That will only lead to increased knowledge and a larger head. Oh and nice plants. I actually put myself back through school and studied biology several years back, I gots sum books lerninz two.
Yeah I really need to read them. You know even bad info teaches, I'm not saying its bad info by any means. But like I always was taught there is not a person in this world you cannot learn something from.The rosenthal book has tons of info on the subjects argued even today. Darkness before harvest and flip. Role of far red light. UV. Etc.
And the jorje book has all the pertinent info on mediums, nutrition and water.

I take it these updated versions are only purchased? I'm gonna have to get them and probably should have long ago. Thanks for the infoThe books have been updated for many years. Eds is used as the textbook for the weed university in cali.
I do not agree that there is bad info. In fact he already figured out all of the “advancements” the industry is implementing now.
I have seen nothing new i have not read about in his book.
And another book i found pretty great was clarks marijuana botany. Biology and breeding info in there.
And the old weed was better too. ;-)

My first grow overreacted to everything ! We are Americans! Well most of us , I apologize to our Canuk friends ! More is better right ! WRONG !Why did you spray nukem? And yes. Sprayed plants will droop.
You are way over caring and micro managing with no experience. Growing is not a minute by minute playbook. They are alive. They move their leaves. Slow down and enjoy it.
Or you will care your plant to death and maybe worry yourself to death.
My first grow had spider mites, in the same room, so ever since then ive just been trying to prevent them from coming back, i hear they are like bed bugs and will continue to come.
Soil bro... Let em dry. Let em dry till they wilt a tiny bit. Then weigh that pot and you now have some number to roughly go by. Let go of the more is better. We all started that way and it's the biggest new grower mistake. More is not better.i say let em dry till you see a tiny bit of wilt for education purposes not because bits good practice to do so. Let go and put your watering issues to bed once and for all. It's something every new grower need to learn, the only difference is how many plants you are going to kill learning it.You see my run off. You see the plant. I dont know what else to do. 10% run off. I think thats even less? Overwatered. No run off? Overwatered. Dont water? underwatered. Do these plants not like water or.....???????? This plant hasnt been watered in 8 days, so i watered it, and here it goes ,Again. Like everytime i water my plants. This is the only result. its never different.
When you water thoroughly it will prevent that. Over watering is not caused by watering to much but by watering to often. Some droop is expected after watering it's just the way it is.My issue is, is im waiting for them to wilt. And waiting. And waiting. and then 12 days later, theyre still not wilting, so i water them. Then they look all droopy, and then i transplant to see whats up, and my root zone is dry as shit. But i had no sign of the plant telling me it needed water or anything.
So now what, even less fucking water? I dont know how else to pin point this fucking bullshit.
Patience ! Patience if you aren’t willing to ruin a couple plants while ur learning your not going to get far. It’s going to happen! But your look ok to me. Aqua is exactly right !Soil bro...

Amen !Thats not enough runoff. How can you even test that little bit.
But the plant looks ok. Never got pics last time but that looks like a thirsty plant that drank a lot. The leaves get heavy and droop a while.
But i read ahead and you said you transplanted again?
The more you do to fix it wihout knowledge and experience the worse they will get.
and is there at least 25% large perlite mixed in with your soil?
And the other thing is it doesnt matter how many days a plant goes without you watering. They need it when they need it. When the pot is light. There is no other sign or action to take.
This plant got sick from me overfeeding and overwatering a bad draining mix. The roots got damaged. She was already flowering in 12/12. She took up to 10 days to drink all her water/nutes each time from week 4 to the end.
Patience is the most important skill in gardening.

The yellow crispy burned leaves were removed for harvest. They were bad.
All i did for 7 weeks was water with very light feed only when the pot was alarmingly light.
She wasnt even watered once a week.
IT DOESNT MATTER. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF YOU WAIT TO WATER.
I hope this helps.
