Very first grow 🙏 (going to need a lot of help)

Alright miss, After doing some reading through your journal here I gotta believe that you need to flush the soil a bit and get a good idea of what the runoff is.
Soil itself has nutrients in it and maybe you won’t need to have to add additional nutrients to your feedwater.

May want to get yourself a container that you can water them in so you can really get a good amount of run off otherwise if you’re like me you’ll need a way to get rid of the run off so the plant doesn’t sit there and soak it right back up.

Saturate the soil, give them a good soak, use more water.

When should I do that? Last Time I watered was Friday… I’m afraid of overwatering now

Well, definitely keep an eye on them but i would wait until you see a bit of wilting of the leafs. You’ll know. The plants will look limp and they’ll be dying of thirst. At that point get yourself a 5gal bucket and mix up whatever nutrients you prefer and pH your water and then slowly water each plant. Lots of water. Until the soil is COMPLETELY saturated and you’re pushing out run off. Test that runoff to ensure your pH and ppm are where you want them. Then let them do they’re thing. Wait again. Maybe a week later… maybe . more depends on humidity but wait until they are seriously thirty again, repeat the process.
Over watering occurs when the soil really never dries out and the root basically suffocate because the soil never dries out. These plants love oxygen! Flood to drought method! You got this :heavy_check_mark: :+1: :heart:

Ok I’ll come bother you again once I have the runoff numbers :upside_down_face: because I have never fed before so not sure how to do it when they need. thank you so much!

Thing is you may not need to feed them, may consider just watering with 6.5ph. I’d almost recommend that instead of feeding so you know what’s going on in that soil.

Yes! So what numbers am I looking for that show me I’ll need to feed them? Like bellow 600ppm?

Yeah so I’m not entirely sure … like I stated above. I kept my 5 gal fabric pots with FFHF at around 900ppm to 1300 ppm. Not sure if thats good or bad but I believe I had a pretty successful grow. You can check out my grow journal. It maybe helpful. It’s BoilerGuy’s Go ILGM-BANANA KUSH

Hey Arrow-
If you want equal lighting you can set your shorter plants on a table or something to equal the field up. The you could get a net and keep them all about the same height from there. Just a thought. Good luck


For some reason this one stem keeps growing taller than everybody else :smirk: and I can’t bend it cuz it’s so thick …

You have me confused brother…all good…:sunglasses::v:

Hey I’m not sure what’s going on some of these numbers compared to last week seem way off also some plants took 2L some took 2.5 to get runoff


@BoilerGuy @Big123

Also does anybody know why this one plant is showing these light green leaves?

:flushed:

Could nitrogen deficiency could be lack of light to lower canopy area.
