Not sure what it was to be honest, i just left them alone and they came around, maybe a bit of heat stress and too much water but they perked up after a couple of days so i'll just carry on :)

I haven't used foliar sprays at all as i'm just sticking with canna coco line and calmag but once i've done a couple of grows and feel confident i'll start changing things and see how it goes.

I made the tie downs from some soft garden ties, i just cut a length, made a hook and pushed it into the coco to hold it in place, worked quite well :)
Send me a link to your next run, i'll def sub to that mate bongsmilie

Red, so is this Day 24? not even at week 4 yet? damn dude!! Those will be delicious :) They smelling fruity? :weed:


Edit: Do you NOT use any oscillating fans? I'm on the fence on using them. I mean for moving air like above and under plant sure. Dont get me wrong, at the moment i use them and the blow right INTO the plants canopy. usuallly the sides of the plants right next to it take a bit of a beating until i try and adjust. I see a lot of ppl here with like NO fans that i can ever see.

Yeah that was day 22 from flip :) the smell is skunky with just a tiny hint of grapefruit.

I have 2 fans blowing on them 24/7, you can see them here, but i keep them a little higher so the plants don't get a beating. They are both plugged in to speed controllers too so i can set the speed i want.

I see. They dont oscillate then? Do you manually adjust with the controller or does it have a temp probe that you keep it at a certain temp with? I think i may have to adjust the way im using my fans. Especially if im gonna mainline or scrog since they will have a tomato cage or like one of these cool little things i found

I always figured i NEEDED them to be blowing them pretty hard so they would be strong. I feel like they beat the plants up a lot tho.
