I'm going to look over all the branches on her again today. I don't think anything opened up. What I did find, seemed immature. Whatever happens outside, I'm not worried about it. Shed mentioned to give her a couple more weeks and then she'll likely get the chop.
Hahahaha that is funny...
How many hours of Sun does it get where you live? Sunrise here is at 5:30..
What do you think was the stressor that caused the nanners?
You'll find out soon enough! I'd say she's not going to like it.
IMHO all the hullabaloo about pots sittin on the runoff water is more likely intended as a caution for the new growers.
Hi Verb!IMHO all the hullabaloo about pots sittin on the runoff water is more likely intended as a caution for the new growers.
And my second humble opinion is that the plants adapt to the environments.
Idea of the autopots aka self watering pots is that you put an airy medium (hydroton, perlite etc) in the bottom so the roots don't never have to be fully submerged. Theyre almost like Hempy Buckets but automated bottom watering. Autopots and all the variations always have a copper cloth to put in the bottom so roots wont get through it down to the runoff tray/module where they would be then fully submerged.
My 5L perlite Hempies also always has a stagnant water sitting in the bottom of res. But pouring in a new patch of water draws oxygen down and flushes the old gunk out.
Autopots has the valve which regulates the amount of water flows and theyre designed so the bottom wicks up just enough to moisten the media.
Consequently most of the techniques are like plants sitting in stagnant water, but still they are not.
Hey Krissi!Hi Verb!
Thats exactly what we were lookin for. Gotta roll up a new one and settle down front of the telly and call it a day.
Absolutely my brother!!Thats exactly what we were lookin for. Gotta roll up a new one and settle down front of the telly and call it a day.
@Emilya would cry her eyes outYou’d faint if you saw me water.
Literally get a gallon of water and pour it straight down her throat then let her sit in what she pees out so she can reabsorb it from the drip tray.
Watering done in less that 17 seconds
Are you doing that with cloth pots? I'd really like to water in 17 secs one day haYou’d faint if you saw me water.

Hey Scott! At the moment, I'm getting first light around 6 with actual sun hitting most of my plants or the greenhouse around 7.
I have no idea. Everything has been stable in the tent in regard to temps and humidity. I don't buy in completely with pin hole light leaks causing problems like this either. I can understand an abundance of bright light and letting it happen consistently, could lead to issues like this though. I have been very careful with never opening the tent after lights out too. Thankfully my tent is mostly shaded from my garage lights too so it sits in a dark*ish corner on purpose.
She's doing great right now. Pest pressure is a problem already. She has a strong aroma. She'll be getting a few BT treatments before it's all said and done. Also, I'm spraying the ground and the container with a strong peppermint essential oil and soap spray.You'll find out soon enough! I'd say she's not going to like it.
Absolutely! 100% agree. There are different root types and the plant will put out "water" roots in the presence of sitting water. Completely different processing from feeder roots in the upper sections of the root ball. They are normally tertiary roots off the mains such as tap roots or arterial root branches.
Nothing wrong with that if it works for you.You’d faint if you saw me water.

I utilize the concepts that I read from her watering how-to post. I start in the perimeter of the pots and let that soak down. I always get immediate spilling out the sides of the fabric pots because of how quickly the sides become hydrophobic. So I usually water in stages to have a thorough drench and try to reduce dry pockets (which quick watering will do BTW @Trala
). I started using a battery powered backpack sprayer. It has a variable volume controller but I nor keep it at its lowest volume setting to purposely slow me down.
I was not able to get to the plants yesterday morning. Didn't even open the tent. They are definitely drinking a lot right now! These pics were taken in the afternoon about an hour before lights out. They all shared 3 gallons with SNS209 at 8mL/gal again as a preventative treatment. No signs of bugs!
Thanks T. Little by little. And by little, I mean a tiny bit if water here. Another tiny bit there...They look great
They were kinda wilted there. But take it as a ’drought stress test’. Chances are high the dryness just strengthen the plant and roots.6/4 - Ooof!
I was getting transparent runoff from the smaller 5 gallon pots. I decided to remove their stands and let them soak up the runoff.
I agree! I walked into the tent and said, "oh shit! I guess that was too long of day huh girls?!" I wasn't at all stressed about it though. They needed a proper dry back to help reset my brain on their moisture levels. I believe my drenches are lacking again because they want more water right now. I am increasing the frequency to twice per day. Instead of increasing volume right now, I'd rather keep them as stress free for as long as possible. I will most likely be droughting at least two of these plants. I'm not sure my brain and heart are ready for that stress.They were kinda wilted there. But take it as a ’drought stress test’.
