New Grower 2budz “In over my head” grow

[2budz]

Ime... water, temps, nitrogen, wind, or just sleepy.

I did feed them the wrong jug of nutes over the weekend. They just started doing it though. I guess that was last week already actually when I fed them the wrong nutes.

You're in soil right? With regular plastic pots they might not be drying out enough between waterings?

I was wondering if you were keeping them a little wet.

I haven’t watered to runoff. I give them about half a liter for now because of my last experience with over watering. I will let them get a little more dry before the next watering. I’ve only water them I think 3 times so far. Once every 4-5 days.

If you stick your finger down into the soil and its still cold and damp they don't need more yet. BTW, you probably should invest in a better hygrometer, those ones are not great, I've taken them out of the box all at once and had different readings on each of them.

Those hygros are definitely one of the things I cut corners on when I first started. I plan on going down to only one tent when the plants in the 2x2’s finish so I’ll invest in a better one soon.

The govee ones are pretty cheap and work well, plus you can check your stats on your phone. I really want one of these for each tent though. https://pulsegrow.com/

I think I’m gonna have to top these plants. I had considered letting them grow and using a net but after the new growth over the last day I don’t think that’s a good idea.
That being said, I’m gonna try doing it the way everyone around here suggests, that hasn’t worked well for me the couple times I did it.

What way is that?

What way is that?

14-21 days. At the 4th node. That’s what I was doing in the beginning and my plants never got taller than 6-8 inches.

When do you do it now?

When do you do it now?

I top above the 6th when there’s 7-8 nodes and the top 2 branches at the 6th are an inch or close to it. They’re usually starting to throw pistils by that point.

Also thats super weird that they never got any taller, but I doubt that topping them then and there caused it. I've topped at a bunch of different spots and times and idk that it's made a huge impact on overall height. In my experience environment has made a much bigger impact on size than when I top them.
