Hey, this is my first grow, and after a few teething problems from buying cheap s**t of ebay; im finally happy with my setup and the progress.

I have 6 different strains, all feminized seeds from reputable seed banks.
I have: Blue Cheese, White Widow, Purple Haze, LSD, Gigabud, Pineapple Chunk.

A very nice skunky / fruit mixture :)

I started them flowering at 55cm, and ive only had to bend one plant (the LSD) due to it towering over the others, all the others are about the same height thank god.

They are about 11 Days Into Flower now. Growing in Canna Coco with added clay balls for aeration. Feeding them the canna coco nutrient range, using the complete set,

They are under 2 x 600W HPS, with 7x 40w (1450 lumen each) mini CFL's (colour temp. 2700K) around the sides of the tent for the lower buds.

I have a 6" RVK intake and a 8" RVK extractor hooked up to a 6" Mountain Air Filter.

Temp is between 27.5'c and 29.5'c Max during lights on.

The grow area is 2.4m / 1.2m / 2m height.

I think, all is going well, they seem pretty healthy and a few are showing rapid bud development and they are all definately female :)

Anyway heres a load of pics, lemme know what you think, and ask any questions you like :)

About 12 days ago (just before i put into flower) i cut off and removed any dead / dying leaves or any leaves that looked a bit wierd, so i had 6 perfectly healthy plants.

Im watering them every 2 days when the top inch of coco is dry, normally by this time nearly the whole plant has wilted down, but after watering looks and all the elaves / branches stand back up, but then when the lights go out, all the leaves curl down quite badly, but then the next day they look fine.

If i was to feed them everyday, i think i would definately be overwatering as the soil still looks pretty damp, but if i was to leave it a day later, im worried the whole plant would wilt even more :/

I dont know if im over / underwatering or what, but today i had to cut about 2 large fan leaves and several smaller leaves off each plant, nearly all from the bottom off the plants, is this normal after just about 12 days? They where all yellow or dry and crispy :!:

Im feeding them 2 nutrient feeds, then 1 water feed, they are in 20 litre pots and i am giving them 3 litres each feed ( just enough to get a little out the bottom)

I am currently (the last feed and this feed) giving them full strength Coco A & B, Low Dosage Canna Boost and Cannazym.

Can anyone tell me if ive got any problems here :/

U wanna have 20% runoff atleast boss..I would dial down the doseage alittle full strength already in flowering is kind of quick i think, maybe do 1/4 or 1/2 dosage for a few...I would think maybe under watering too...Do maybe 2 liters a day..I give my baby alittle more than that but she is finishing up....and im in 2.5 gallon buckets...So i think dial the dose back and feed more often...These are just my opinions...And r all of the plants doing it or just 1or2 ...Maybe next time do 1 or 2 strains instead of 6 as they all feed differently...Well good luck boss..JMO

That is not the proper way to water/feed, boss.

For all sorts of reasons, you should let the pot dry out almost completely before watering again, then water thoroughly with ample runoff as you suggested.

If you are watering every day, you are overwatering. The watering schedule will change many times throughout the grow, as the plant's needs change and becomes more or less "thirsty". There are just a few times where watering every other day is even necessary. Every 3-4 days is normal for a majority of the grow.

To figure out if the pot is dry enough to water, learn to feel it by weight.

I missed the part about coco, if that has drastically different watering needs then I wouldn't know as I've never grown in coco. I can admit it when I overlook something.

My apologies, it's just that whenever I see DinafemHazeAuto post I automatically assume it's incorrect. He's one of these guys that goes around giving out the worst possible advise, on his second grow but talks like he's been growing forever.

That and douches who call others "guy" or "boss" or "jack", it sends me into a rage that makes critical thinking difficult. If this were real life, he'd be knocked the fuck out by now. :)
