New Grower Name That Problem....

I can't believe it has been taking that much water, damn.

Yeah... I didn't over kill but poured enough water to keep them from falling down from being to dry. By the next morning Bub1 was very light and the top 1 inch of soil was dry. I came from another board where I read you can take a week's feeding and break it up into more waterings if needed. For example 500ppm in 1 gallon but fed 1 qt at a time over 7 days. I have a fan directly on the plants and they live in a very small space with 8 cfl's where I have to move the air out to keep the temps down. That dries the soil pretty quick.

I'll wait and check em Friday and feed 400 ppm if needed and see what happens.

Right on. That method can be used but IMO it's better to give full on waterings and wait 2-4 days depending on your setup and size of plant. Obviously, do not do this for seedlings that is too much. Its roots aren't big enough to suck up the whole container(if you're starting in larger containers) , but otherwise works great.

How big are your containers again? Sorry.

Good idea, wait more than a day and see what's up.

How big are your containers again? .

You're quite welcome. Matter of fact, think I'm going to move this thread over to the New Growers forum so we can keep a better eye one it.

Thanks Muddy....

Seems you've adpoted me and this grow. You're about the only poster here.
Like the Avatar change...

Yes, get away from the watering every day. Do the complete soak with 10% run off and then wait till they are pretty dried out before feeding again.

I'm using AN pH Perfect Sensi A and B. Over 4 different strains that I've used them on I've found that 3 of the 4 strains don't like anything beyond 3/4 strength. The other, Russian Rocket Fuel, can't take over half strength. My notes are out in the garage but if memory serves me, even 3/4 strength was below 400 ppm.

No wonder I couln't find this thread in the usual indoor grow section.

Now I may hold you to your comment to "keep an I on" because I have a problem coming around the corner that we knew about. I brought these autos in from my normal grow shed out back because I wanted to flip what's out there to 12/12 and had to keep these autos on 18/6 so they're inside a closet. I'll keep the smell down best I can but they'll get to a point I'll have to put them back out in 12/12 with everyone else. I've read that mid/ late fowering won't hurt yield too much.
Here's what going on outside.... White Widow fem/ Swiss Cheese fem/ and Bag weed (one which is a reveg from my Test grow, It might be a lemmon of sorts)

Balls or Budsites?!!

I woke this morning to find these new additions to Bub1. Are they balls or bud sites ready to open and flower? I have a little experience with balls on plants I experimented with a few years ago and these aren't rounded like them. I also see hairs or pistols. These are Nirvana Bubblelicious auto"FEM" and I haven't stressed them out to any large degree.:ama: Is this decision time?

I'd put money on them being nothing more than large calyxs' as I see two female hairs comin from them.

My second thought, of course after the initial PANIC!

Lol. Can't be too careful with stuff like this so it's best to check I reckon.
