This is the tallest plant and used to be the best. Here's some background on everything:
70-78 and a little under 50% RH, I kept it much higher during seedling. 50-60% and higher when it was humid outside
I'm using Roots Organics Original Soil and Roots Organics nutes
3-gal fabric pots
Solar Flare 220w Full cycle (no switch for grow and bloom) 165w max
2x2.5x5.5 Gorilla Grow tent
4" 178 cfm inline with carbon filter
2 6" clip on fans
1 8in "tower" style fan
I have been using tap water but have used RO and distilled before.
Okay so I started off in 1 gal pots, straight from a seed. They all sprouted good enough and I think my light was 24-30" away at that time. I basically overwatered the first 2 weeks at least, and by the time I figured it out the damage was done, and to top it off the water I was using was 9.5 pH. I still use the tap water but adjust to 6.5 now and have since early Nov. For one reason or another I didn't listen to what everyone has said about the kind of soil I'm using which is don't add nutes. I added 2tsp of Buddha Grow to 5L of water around the middle of Nov. By this time I had so much yellow shit it was hard to tell anything, and I deduced it was all from overwatering and kept on going. The most I used was 1 tbsp with a gallon and have used a light dose of cal-mag periodically.
Here's where it gets fun. I knew I was getting close to up-potting and I started feeling pressure bc my plants are getting to the point where I need to start thinking about flower. They weren't healthy at this point at all which was a little over a week ago. I always felt that those first two weeks messed everything up. I used 9.5pH water (at that time that is ALL I was using, but my tap water has all the typical shit and probably more, still don't like using my tap water but I live on the 3rd floor, fuck RO or distilled). I should have flushed long before I did, but here again, I've made a lot of mistakes and I look forward to my second grow. But I have this right now, so let's do it. I flushed AND up-potted from 1-gal to the 3-gal pots they are in now in the same day. I flushed with roughly 10 gallons at 6.5 ph and the last gallon I used 2 tsp of the stuff called Trinity. I have seen several people talk about kelp and molasses. This was roughly 10 days ago. I watered with 16 oz on 12-13 ( 48 hrs ago)
