Point your fan at the wall so it just circulates air around your space. Should be on low for one your size. If the leaves are just barely moving your doing it right. That exchanges the envelope of air surrounding the leaf. It does help to give them some direct fan a couple times a week, for a few hours. That will increase strength in the stems. Direct fan will stress and dehydrate your plant if left constant. As the plant takes up water it brings nutes with it. If it's not ready for the nutes, this will cause a build up in the plant. Looks like you have a week at least before you need to transplant. If you do it too early, you risk setting them back for 10 days roughly. Bio Ag Vam applied to the roots at transplant will greatly reduce that. I can't wait till you get those in Smart Pots, so many of your problems will go away. Do back off on the water. Lastly quit staring at them, your freaking 'em out. kidding.

Obviously not your first run either is it? I didn't claim to be a pro. If you want to run high fan on your ladies, excellent they will need much less staking and wpm likely won't take hold.

I shake the shit out of mine once a week to cause those micro tears in the plant. As they heal they are stronger. I used to run High fan throughout with good results but since changing rooms haven't been able to get the same favorable environment. I had to have everything on point with my strain to run high fan into the plants. I found it much more forgiving to blow fan over and under the canopy. Your mileage may vary.

Seems fan was causing him to over water as the top dried out. Think about it, a box fan in a 4x4 tent, fresh transplanted seedlings.
I run 2 Air Kings on medium in 12x12 rooms 4kw lights and the leaves be moving though nothing is getting blasted direct.

No disrespect intended. I don't hit this thread intending to say do it my way. I've likely done more things wrong then I ever got right. I just saw someone having some simple issues, doing the same thing we all did in the beginning.

after spending WAY too much on diff fans(im a weirdo like that) i have found three to be a cannabis lovers dream, honeywells like these...


and the durabreeze pedestal fans, but id choose the honeywells over anything. I have noticed the angle of the fan blades makes a HUGE difference.

How cool....chilly is it in there...my flw room has a 1000
And next to it...directly...i have a veg area with a 400...
There in the same bedroom...i have a wall banger ac unit to keep it cool...

Now i notice..once i close the particle door to the 1000,after the light gos off...cause the room next door has 6 more hours to go..with the 400 for veg..it gets way way more chilly in there,due to the 1000 being off...and the ac only haveing to cool of the 400..i always ALWAYS notice them looking ..SAYYYY....over watered or almost sort of wilting...

Next morning there pointing towards the 400 cause its been on for a couple hours..BEFORE THE 1000 clicked on and b4 the ac was turned back on..have no clue what the humidity is or anything like that...ive just always noticed..once really chilly in my environment. .then tend to take on that look...

Rootbound?

Rootbound?

As of this morning all of the pots are pretty light. Popped one out to take a look at the root mass. Gonna give them another 12 hours before watering again. Seems they go from looking overwatered to underwatered, and no in between... Maybe water less when I do water them? Always water until I see some drops coming through the drainage holes. No real run off/waste.

I just started another batch of EWC/Molasses tea for them. They may need some plain water before the tea is ready.

I stand corrected, nice looking roots. No signs of over watering there. That pic speaks volumes for this thread and the quality of the mix. Nice job man.

They all the same strain? Or did you have a really small fan on them directly as seedlings?
Not sure if that is one of the 6" honeywells you posted, but I wouldn't advise anyone to place one of those to directly blow on seedlings (even on the low setting)unless they want windburn..

Hey Organic Friendly People,
Can anyone help me with the following:

I still have a bag of Biobizz Allmix sitting around.Anyone familiar with this one?It says it's (heavily)pre-fertilized organic soil and should last for the first couple weeks of the grow cycle with only water added.
Now the question is can I amend this soil with blood meal, bone meal, Kelp and powdered lime, like in the recipe on page 1 of this thread, so I have to feed only water until harvest, or will this make the mix too hot right from the start ?
Any info much appreciated !!!

If the light was still on, you are over watering. Let them get to the point where they stems start to bend over. I know it is a painful thing to do, buy 90% of the people over water! This makes your Ca uptake go very low and you will never recuperate from it... you still might do ok, but you would have done a lot better.... pick up the pots so you can feel when they are wet. Make them ask for water, really!

So i take it that twanging from underwatering is much better than twanging from overwatering?
