First Time Indoor Grow - Need Your Help

[Mindblank]

Nutes have arrived.
Measured out 12g for 2 gallons

Thinking I may be over watering……….9 litres each day for three plants
Lots of dirty water sitting in the trays.

Think I may be learning some lessons……
Old Seeds……both plants middle and left are from old seeds…….they don’t seem to be budding as well as the new seed plant on the right.
Getting a bit of yellowing and burnt tips.

Light is on full and dimmer bypass switch is on….so full light

Got some leaf curl there so I'd lower the light intensity a bit (by raising it rather than lowering the watts), and I'd suggest 5.5g/gallon rather than 6.

Here comes the second half of flower!

Yeah I was thinking of raising the light but it won’t go any higher than about an inch

Is it on a ratchet with ropes? If it is you can lose those and tie the light's holders to the top tube of the tent. That usually gains you a few extra inches.

used to use those metal hangars that take up a few inches of room you'd have otherwise.
think they fixed it recently to allow the rachets to clip directly to the light.

Yep just got another 1.5 inches
power cords are touching the top of the light driver……is that an issue?

 

[Regrowth]

don't think so. know i've done it.
you can always move the driver out of the tent if you want.
I ended up doing it to drop my temps a bit but maybe you'll gain another inch or so.
I just laid a piece of plywood on top of my tent and put the driver on top of it.

I think your drowning the roots bro

 

[Canachris]

I agree with uncle, try putting something under the container and suck up the runoff, I use a turkey baster. Good luck

Probably not depending on how hot the driver is, but if you can shift the cord to the side that would be safer. As Regrowth said, mounting it outside the tent would be a better option.

Yes I think so too…..was watering daily at around 8 litres between them
Think I’ll cut the water down to just over 1 litre to 1.5 litres per pot each day

Rather than water on a schedule you should try tipping the pots to see when they're getting lighter. Then you can water just when they need it but before they'd droop.

Like the Shed said water only when they need it & they need water only when the medium has dryed out , tip or lift is one way to check but i use the drop system once u see the leaves starting to drop it's time to water , sometimes i don't have time to check & the tips start to drop , no panic because a droping plant recover alot faster then a waterloged soil plant , it can take forever for the soil to dry out , in that time the chance of introducing patogans is high , take care

Almost 5 weeks into flowering.
Only watering when medium looks dry, and using new nutes as suggested.
Plants are getting greener and buds look good on the two of the plants.

Now my concern is this plant on the left…….has always been small and compact. Now it looks weird and barely flowering. Am I better to just kill it and give the other two plants more room?

Looking good
Hell no let it play out it shouldn't be a problem for the other 2.

 

[InTheShed]

It's either a weird pheno or it isn't happy that's for sure. You could try something to shake it up like give it a major interior thinning. Probably should have been done a week before flip!

Think I need t9 go back to checking them everyday

 

[Regrowth]

no worries. sure they'll bounce back.

Yea just ask me
