They're all drying up at different rates so it's only the middle plant that's getting watered tonight. I've never really seen the leaves shrivel up and curl like this though.
5 gallon. I was starting to think might intensity. I had just infrared from 50-75% the day before. Someone mentioned it and I never even considered that. But it makes sense.What is the current container size I’m curious? I was thinking the light may be too close for the center plant if it’s different genetics then the other two. I’ve been experimenting with distance on hlg 320xl rspec so this has me interested.
They're all on different watering schedules now. They're all drinking at different rates. The one on the far left is fastest then middle then right side is drinking pretty slow. I'm having to water at least one almost everyday at this point.over-watered and under-watered can look very similar so you gotsta stick your finger in the medium and figure out which is which.
my guess: those middle plants look smaller. which usually means a less developed root system compared to the ones to the left or right...
so maybe water those in the middle a hair less than the others?
The temps in the tent stay in the upper 70's pretty steadily. They have had a couple cold mornings though.What are your temps at?
Thank you for that information, I always appreciate your knowledge bro. You've been a great help to me and a lot of other I'm sure. This is my last grow in pots. I got a 2x4 grassroots fabric bed. KiS organics has this white paper on their site about beds vs container growing and beds def seem like the way to go. I made a "living soil" and am going to start that next run. I've been reading a lot and have gotten a ton of help from KiS. I got a soil test and amended based on that. With their guidance.The main problem with small container growing is in the end the "stem weight" outweighs the bud weight. There was a guy on another forum growing a tent with 210 dixie cups into flowering. The plants were tall and ended up with 100 and something females. At the end he got mostly stems for all his work. Who wants a lot of stem.
as they do in the greenhouses. Start with plug or dixies then 1 gallon until the plant shows sex then put them in flowering containers to finish in. Large pots will give larger yields. .
I never thought burning. I kinda assumed it was lockout on the last pick bc she needs a flush. The plant in the far left got flushed 3 days ago. Now she's wilting all up. How do you mean the roots are getting burnt? From the overall heat in the tent?Oh.. there might be a story emerging. That last pic shows what's likely burning. This could give unusual lockout issue. The pic before could be showing you they don't want to drink. Or perhaps the salt in the pot is not letting the water go. Most likely though, the roots are getting burnt.
