Indoor First Grow - starting late

[Frank Rizzo]

Day 40 for Blue Dream. One is obviously going through a different phase than the other, it's the one who's stem I snapped. Not expecting much from her but I'm gonna follow through with her. The other blue dream looks pretty good for what I was expecting a few weeks ago (all my mistakes and what not).

Amnesia Haze day 35. Looking better.

How long has Blue Dream looked like that?
I would put her in the infirmary asap.

She looks severely over or under watered.

I wouldn't let your pots dry, to the extreme. Especially in bloom. Let her stay somewhat moist in flower bro. The reason you want dry cycles, is to promote root growth. You're beyond that stage now. Let her concentrate on flowers. She needs to stay a bit more hydrated than that, bud.

No problem. Just to be clear, I am not saying to drown your roots. Just don't let them get extremely dry.
In flower, I usually let em get a bit dry, every few watering.

Also, when you let them dry so much, the water will pool on the top, when feeding. Be sure to take it slow.

My watering method is, give her no more than a liter, slowly, around the trunk. Let her sit for 5 min. Water around the edge of the pot. This is where most of the water go's. Let it sit. I always finish by going back to the base, with the last 500ml or so. This method helps turn your soil, in a way. You want the water to saturate, completely. If you water fast, you will create dry pockets. Water will flow in the direction of least resistance.

Hope that makes sense

3 gallon pots.He is root bound.I would have repotted to 6 gallon pots and flushed em out and packed the soil around them.as soon as he said 3 gallon i was like damn.I know guys can grow in solo cups but thats for the experienced.3 gallon pots,autos on a first time grow is no go.them roots are wrapping the pot.
I told you once you see em crown they wont stretch much more after that.My autos always stretch like crazy but once you see the tops crown they might go another 6 inches if im lucky.you learned some good lessons here.Next time get a bigger pot,and trash the OF.its good dirt when u get a good batch just to many inconsistencies for my taste.

I started in 3 gallon pots. Never root bound.
