its going very well for your first time out. i wasnt that good my 2nd time around.

early on in veg i suspect your problem was they needed N (veg nutes).

what nutes have you used for this grow?


and how often do you water?


personally..i water once every 4 days (one time with plain water....make sure your pH is 5.8-6.3 and one time with nutes...veg or bloom and sometimes both mattering on what the plants show they need)


I water 1:1. 1 gal bucket of soil = 1 gal of water.

some say its overkill but 4 me it seems its better to give alot of water infrequently than a little water every day.



they do look damn good tho. keep up the good work.

Thanks im glad they are really starting to fill out. I have botanicare calmag plus pro grow for veg and pro bloom. I usually water every two or three days but it usually depends on how light they feel since I cant help but check them every hour lights are on lol.

thats probably your drooping problem. letting them dry out a little is helpful towards production. when the soil is wet the roots dont have to seek out water...when the soil begins to dry the roots grow and stretch looking for more water. the better your roots develop under the soil...the more/better bud production you'll have above the soil.

try watering every 4 days and see if it doesnt turn around. its ok for them to feel light on water day. they wont be hurt. besides underwatering is better than overwatering (you could get root rot if its wet too often)...plus insects may begin to breed in your soil if it stays too wet.

He is growing in a coco/perlite mix so while your advice might be good for a soil grower it is not going to help here. I am growing the same strain under the same conditions except a bigger light and the best way for us to know when it is time to water is by the weight of the pot. Saying every X amount of days is just a joke. Each grower should water based on their plants needs not on advice from random people.

So last night I ended up chopping and everything is hanging to dry right now but i took a couple of quick pictures while I was rushing about and cleaning. Ill get a couple more once everything is dried and weighed.
