Hi,
I just noticed an issue with one of my plants. I am growing 2 zkittlez auto but did some light training on one otherwise same tent/light/temp but watered each one as needed every 3-6 days. Temps are at about 80-82 during the day and 77 during the night. Light is 16/8. Last watering was with big bloom on both plants. Any suggestions?

If you’re referring to the size difference, every plant is unique. Even if in same soil, lights and environment, they will all grow different. These are very finicky ladies. All is well.
Are you using any other nutrients? To me looks like your plant needs more nitrogen but i am just a first time grower not 100% sure.
That’s a hungry plant. What are your input/output numbers for pH and PPM?

My ph is slightly under 7. Not sure what ppm is or how to measure it. I am using a half dose solution of foxfarm grow big 6-4-4.

So feeding is regulated by measuring the PPM (particles per million) to see how much food is in the soil, also the amount of food in your water. You can get a cheap TDS (total dissolved solids) and measure that.
Usually in soil you begin feeding when your PPMs drop below 1000

Yeah , TDS meter it’s a must to get a handle on feeding so you’re not over feeding or under feeding .

I have a tds meter but have only used it on liquids. How do i use it on soil?

Check the run off the water that comes out the bottom of the pot when watering. Plant looks hungry, Number is probably going to be low when you check it.

I see you keep saying you use grow big but what about big bloom and tiger bloom them 3 are the key essential nutrients along with cal mag for a good healthy plant. That’s the basics for foxfarm nutrients

are you supposed to use all 3 at the same time? I have been using them at different stages only.
Look for the feed schedule online. They are too be used as a combo

Looks a little under fed and could of had more soil to start with, but all is good step up nutrition and add some loving care with cal mag full dose once a week, just harvested my one zikktiles It produced 11 ounces of bud in ten weeks scrog style grow it tested at 22% and taste sooo good , luck man

One more thing, my plants are taking in one gallon every day mostly I can only go 48 hours before they are limping so step up watering some water from bottom to see how much they use daily and then go with that
I see hungry ladies. Need to feed them. Once you feed check the Run Off when about 20 percent of the water you poor into the pot comes out the bottom in a catch container of some sort. That way you can measure with a TDS-EC pen you can get on Amazon. You must pay attention to the PPM on run off watering or you will have issues of all kinds. People here can get you through here! Good luck and Happy Growing!
@hanke can i add more soil now or is it more lesson learned for the next grow?
How old are your plants and I didn’t see what soil you were using. Also do you follow the feeding chart posted above.
@danniep40 The plants are 8 weeks old since germination, they are growing in coco, perlite and foxfarm ocean forest.
