Good Morfnoevight all you happy stoners.

The last Photos I ran tripled in size after the flip!
What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and the roots and microbes will die there. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. Slowly wet ALL of the soil until run-off begins. There is an art to watering.
Welcome to AFN. You are still 3 - 6 weeks out from harvest. You should back off on the nutrients by 20%. The "Tip Burn" is from feeding too much. Overall your plants look excellent.

Hair straighteners are a waste of time and product. I was lucky to get 2% return with them. Don't waste your time, money or bud on hair straighteners.Hmmm...mmm......View attachment 1550587.....
I'd Go with the tent....and see if I could scrounge a pair of hair straighteners to Try it cheap/low tech first.......
If I din't have much bud stash I'd be worried about experienting with it....But.............I'm a Wuss..........
If you don't know how you will need to learn how to super-crop.
The last Photos I ran tripled in size after the flip!OMG you have not learned how to water yet. Plants don't drink on your schedule and they certainly don't order water by the liter.
