Today’s numbers
Didn’t even take a full gallon of plain water ph in at 6.18
Run off ph 6.2. Ppm 940
DLI 16 light height same.
Temp 73 RH 56
She is standing straight up and the 3 leaf canopy continues lol.
I think I’ll go 4 or 5 days next time on the watering.


Thanks @Shadesfang for the gnome idea

Still looking cute over there. That’s a lot of water for a baby though, mine are finishing week 3 and I’m just starting to give them a half liter of water at a time.

Don’t go by days, go by pot weight. That has served me pretty well - until I started the Autopots, which are kind of a b@stard version of hydro.

Thank you for the reminder on watering. I looked at your latest grow journal and will tag along. I noticed you don’t use the carbon filter until later on, I turned mine off today and opened all the vents and will check the temp and RH later tonight to see what it looks like. I have one fan in there now and have another if needed.

I always run my fans though the pole fan and exhaust are set to different levels depending on the conditions. Right now, the exhaust is running on 1, the pole fan on 4 b/c it’s cool tonight.

I had to turn the carbon filter exhaust fan back on the RH went up too much, looking at in-line fan to purchase :+1:

That’s why mine always runs, even at low level. We’re in the middle of the remnants of tropical storm so humidity will be very high next few days. It’s not even 60 degrees outside so I have to watch my numbers closely.

Hey fellow triplet parent! And on your first tent grow to boot. Go big or go home right? :laughing:

I just took 4 cuttings for clones from an OG Kush I’m experimenting with, and one of the cuttings is making triplets. Not sure how that works, when just one branch morphs into trips, but I’ll be tagging along with your grow to see what happens with it and if it reverts back to normal or what.

I think she is in vegetation, I got a big O whiff of her too when I opened the tent this morning.

Gave her little less than a gallon of ph water at 6, the runoff was at ph 6.13 and ppm at 830.

Lowered the light to 17 inches turned it up to %75 with DLI at 25.

Temp 73 RH 60.

I’m thinking of a fim job instead of topping her but need to think it over. Either way I need to wait until 5 or 6 nodes correct?

The kit came with a Scrog net to if I need it.

Last item, I do not feed with nutes yet for up to 6 weeks correct?? I’m in happy frog with the auto flower living soil.

She looks good! I’d start cranking up the DLI a bit. Mine are in their 4th week and I have them around 40 and they are loving it.

I usually top around node 4 when I’m doing it. Most of my plants were just trained with LST and no topping which imo may be better for an auto.

Can’t help on the soil.

In my experience, once you start to smell them they are entering the “teenage phase” and you can expect pistils before terribly long in autos.

My currents are photos, are 3.5 weeks old, and I smell them already. Girls in a rush.

Wow DLI at 40 already nice :+1: I’m going to wait another week to see how she handles it before turning it up she’s only 2 weeks old. Starting week three

I want to hear from @Shadesfang or @Bonjoyle on fimming or topping and on the nutrient feeding start time with my soil.

I had a hell of time with ppm last year in the closet and struggled with the light height and DLI too through the whole grow.

and I think you are right on the nodes 4 or 5 not 5 or 6.

Anyway thank you

FIM at node 4 or 5 wait till a week after bud start and hit with nutes. If wanting Veg nutes, start now at half dose.

Thank you sounds like a good plan.
I have the FF trio and Grow Big is one of those. I will carefully use it next watering and see what my ppm’s are at in/out.
The other 2 are big bloom and tiger bloom for flowering and into budding.

I’m still on the fence on to top or fim, I have little time to decide so I need to make up my mind soon. More research/reading and watching videos on fim to be done. :+1:

Hello grow buddy, I think I’m ready and or close to fimming her. Let me know what you think.
See pictures, I drew a red line on where I think the cut goes. Should I wait one more node and is the red line in the right place?


Here it is without the red line if you want to adjust where it should be
