Haha yeah! Hey regarding the watering, i think you said somewhere in the thread that you cut down on the amount and then the sad yellow leaves disappeared and the gals started taking off again. What was the amount of water daily for the smallest and the biggest, if you can recall?

Awesome plants btw!!! I'm going TaNg next grow!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom mate! I've watered once a day and the top of the medium has been bone dry but now I'm doing it twice a day and the medium is still a bit moist on top. Everything looks good but I think I'm overwatering slightly!Mate I hear you and I was the same.
Sadly there is no set limit of water for each plant.
Everything is variable. My room, my lights, my plants and then the different pheno types I get and perhaps you dont.
Watering is something I found hard, this is part of the art really.
You have to feel your way through this and no doubt you will over and under water at some point.
In the end you will learn what your girls like and respond accordingly.
My plants got really heavy into drinking and I was pouring it in as fast as I could.
Then at another stage in there growth this drops off a little. In my case I was slow to notice and respond.
I was so excited that the girls were so thirsty I kept pouring it in.
Its hard mate as I say in each room each auto will react differently.
In the end though you will relax and learn you cant know everything and control everything.
Experience will come though thats for sure
My best tip is little and often. If in doubt dont water. So unless you know the pot is light and needs a feed, leave it for the next round of watering.
Also my advice is go light on the nutrients. Less is deffo more
Thats my 2p.
Very best, take you time, take plenty of pics and update on here as regular as possible.
If you do this as and when things go tits up, folks will have a clear idea of where your at.
Peace.
Hey there True, words escape me man, so, WOW !, AWESOME !, FKN AWESOME BROTHER !!!! I tip my hat to you sir ! absolutely magnificent grow ! :kusht:
Thanks again mate! This grow is a test for me as I wanted to try out different plants to see how they look and grow and respond to training like topping. I've been light on feed as I didn't want to kill any plants but now I'm up to 1,8EC and I just ordered some AN stuff for the end phase (I'm at day 49 today). All is well but I have too many plants and not enough light, I'm drawing too little air in and it's too cold as well (sub zero C). It's fascinating how much you learn in such a short amount of time! This forum is much better than any of the books I've bought and read!Yea its a real tricky one this.
I could tell in the end by looking at the top of the pot (the medium), the plant a little bit and then every pot had to have a little lift and a weigh in my hands.
This lifting got harder as my plants went 4ft, 5ft and even over 6ft so they weighed alot more as weeks went on.
Like I say if in doubt, knock things back.
Morning and night feeds work best, Im pretty sure that had a lot to do with my results.
Another thing a friend of mine reminded me of.
I spent loads on kit and seeds and everything else. Id been rushing round in building mode and when it came to the grow I needed to tune in and relax.
You will make mistakes on this grow, there is no way round that. Once you accept that you may find you chill out a bit.
Give yourself 2 or 3 grows before you start guilt tripping yourself.
I dont know where your at on your grow but soon enough the magic starts happening.
I really enjoyed it, magic how the seeds popped, magic how they grew and then mate when the buds start if was crazy.
Every day they put on weight and the whole thing is just... well magic
1 chill pill and 2 or 3 more grows.
You'll see
Peace.

Oh, I have one more question mate, in the Dutch Passion blog of your grow it says
"Below is the detailed feed schedule created by TaNg for growing automatics in 50% Plagron Light soil with 50% Perlite."
Does this mean you and TaNg cut your soil with perlite?
It's not your quote mate, it's Joe from DP in his blog! http://www.dutch-passion.nl/en/news...review-the-heavy-yielding-dutch-passion-auto/
