New Grower Danielsaaan’s Third Grow

[Dankerson]

I’ve heard this too, but I’ve also read you can’t water til runoff until the plant is well established? I think I’ll go water around the edges with water/wetting agent/recharge PH ~6.5 til slight runoff

I begin full watering of my pots once the leaves reach the edge of the pot. Usually once the leaves are there then that means the tap root has reached the bottom of the pot and I start full waterings. Although I do water the whole pot like others have suggested when I do water even at early stages. I just focus it more away from the plant along the edges like others do at younger stages so I don't overwater and drown it if that makes sense.

It does. Thanks!

Just finished watering around the outside edges until a bit of runoff. Water, recharge, and quillaja. PH 6.6. Will report back in a couple days

Each plant getting 300 ppfd. Going 22/2 to keep the tent warm enough in the basement. That puts DLI at 23.76 which I believe is good for this stage. Any advice appreciated! Thanks all for your help

Watering is an art form in its own right, you are getting it, soaking it in so to speak, LOL

That looks good to me, mine are day 17, 300par currently 16/8, going to 18/6 tomorrow, then two days after that 20/4, then after that I will increase light intensity adjusting to how they react.

Update:

They’re doing a bit better. They feel almost dry already, so I will probably water after work today - around the edges til slight runoff. Looks kind of like a magnesium deficiency on them? Thoughts? Thanks for all of the help and suggestions!

Do you guys think they look okay?

That green striping in the leaves almost tells me it's underwatered. I usually get that when I let them dry out too much. You letting them dry out all the way or to about 50% weight?

I forget what soil and nutes are you using? Still ?

Thanks for the reply. Still using (this will be my last grow with it). I usually wait until the pots are light to water again, or til the soil surface is dry an inch or so down. Got too paranoid of overwatering from the last grow. Trying to find a happy medium, but apparently can’t find it! I’ll be watering them after work today. Plain water with wetting agent. PH 6.5-7.0. Which will be just before lights on. They’re big enough to water til runoff now without worry, I imagine, so hopefully I can find a groove!
