First time grower, full of doubts - Also sort of a growth journal

Like you have about 2 gallon of medium. As I said b4 I dont necessarily water to runoff. I take my girls out to water. I make sure that the entire bottom is wet with fresh water. So technically runoff. I set the pots on folded towels so that there is no water accumulating in the floor of my tent. I water 2x. So 1/2 gallon working my way around. wait a couple minutes then a 2and half gallon. If the bottom is not entirely soaked I'll add another quart (litre)of water. As you know I'm in 20 litre pots. I think 1.5 liter is sufficient for 8 litres of medium. My only question is why 40-45% RH? Your VPD is way off. I do not get too hung upon VPD. Dialing in every environmental element can be very hard so that is one I let go. That is not to say I ignore it but I have to choose what to concentrate on. My point is you can be 50-55% RH safely in my opinion, especially if you have good airflow. I am in a perpetual cycle. Baby plant, one in early flower, one in mid to late flower, and one in late flower. I am trying to keep my RH between 55-60 RH. I may be rolling the die a little on mold but I think I'm ok. I just popped my cherry on my 1st harvest and the buds are clean. I think you are doing a great job. The fact that you care so much goes a long way to success. I would love to see some overall pics of your ladies. Good job!

Thank you. I'll try to no to worry so much about RH. According to the VPD table on the page 4 in the thread i believe i'm not too off, but then again, first time grower. My temp is around 24º-26º C so i would think the RH isn't too bad. When i water i always have a soaked bottom with a bit of water coming out. I take that of the plates before i put the girl back in the tent. Tomorrow morning I'll tho a picture session and i'll put them here. I had to make some hard choices. I started with 4 girls, but as time passed i took one out. She's still preflowering, with small pistils. I'll keep her just to see what happens. The tent was too crowded. It still is with 3 inside. Next time, with better weather, i'll start with 4 but i'll put 2 outside after vegetative state.

Since you are a fan of the "clip clip", do you think i could it some more? There's still a lot of big leaves.

You've come a long way baby!

Your 1st grow is a home run! I'm very proud of you. Zero issues.
At this point I would selectively take large fan leaves that are blocking only. That's me. You have several weeks left and plenty of time to take leaves. I say let them use those solar panels for a while longer. Likely their nutrient requirements are going to change. Take your time. Stay vigilant.
GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks. To be fair a lot of what i do is just follow the advice i get here at AFN. You guys have been great, and i'm trying to control my worries and let nature do her job. I still have a bit of soil ph issue, it always seems high, around 7. On the next watering i think i won't give the ph perfect nutes, just water around 6 ph with big bud, to try reduce it. Anyway the girls don't seem to care about the ph.
About the nutrients requirements, what signs should i look for? Do you think they'll ask for bigger doses?
The RQS says harvest is around the 8th week, so another 2 weeks, but i think it should be a bit more, maybe 3 or 4.
That's it. I'll post some more pics next week

My Tangerine Dream went 11 weeks. Was supposed to be 8.
7 is neutral. I water between 6.3 and 6.8 if I PH. I concentrate on microbes and dont worry too much about PH.
This Tangerine Dream broke ground on 2/8. She is at least 30% bigger than the TD I just harvested was at this stage. She is 7 weeks old. I bet she does not finish for 13 or 14 weeks.

She's a beauty. I think that it will be around 10, 11 weeks, and that the buds won't all be finishing at the same time.
