I cant believe how fast these plants recuperate after topping
WOW!!!

[alltatup]

Agreed. My plants really take off when I top them: I let nodes 2, 3 and 4 turn into colas. They barely need any training.

here is a pic after only 4 days

Didn't phase them a bit!! ;-}

[Camk]

should i feed nutes every week?
i water approximately once a week and am thinking to go nutes every watering

advice

[Redwasp]

Wow you only have to water once a week? What are you growing them in? Soil? Container size? I add nutes twice a week but i water about 3 times a week.

[Camk]

im growing in sunshine mix #4
5gall pots
water to run off every time

You can add nutes with all water if you are monitoring and adjusting for EC. This is the preferred way to fertigate in all media.

But you have to manage EC. If you are coming from the practice of an alternating flush, then you will have to start with a relatively low inflow EC and work the plants back up. If this is something you are interested in then I'd be happy to discuss more specific strategy.

As Redwasp suggests, your irrigation frequency is really low. You should work on ways to increase that. This will be even more important if adding nutes to all water. You need to water more frequently than that.

Hmmm i cant imagine cannabis only needing once a week. They must be babies. I try to keep them in small enough pots that they need watering every 4th day or less. I end in 7 gallon pots.

[Campesino]

I agree, and it suggests drainage issues probably.

Higher frequency fertigation is always better if you can manage drainage. If the interval between events is days long, then evaporation is going to really raise the EC/PM of the nutrient solution in the media. When this is followed with "plain" water, the EC/PPM drops. The poor plant has to struggle to adjust to all of these changes.
High frequency fertigation ensures that the nutrient solution available to the plant is always in a tighter EC/PPM range. Plants don't have to spend energy adjusting and can just grow.
I write about this in my guide to EC/PPM and Fertigation: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...u-need-to-know

[Campesino]

Redwasp I know you've seen that... I think it's where we met!

[Redwasp]

Yes it is. Lol

[Camk]

Question
is there any problem with changing nutes in the middle of the grow?

[Redwasp]

No there isnt

[Campesino]

I would just recommend doing a flush in between.

[Camk]

Ok good im changing to mega crop

[Camk]

I have 4 plants that are really taking off and 2 that are short and bushy but i need to switch to 12-12
or i wont have room in the grow room
should i just go for it and hope they do well?

[Camk]

thanks for the info!!
6 different strains 6 completely different outcomes!!

[Camk]

im running two 400w mh and will switch to hps on 12-12
i could dedicate one light to the shorter two plants

[Camk]

will do !

[Camk]

next grow will be just 4 plants that seems to be the perfect amount for the room

[Camk]

i should have learned when 2 took over the room lol !!

[Camk]

what would cause moisture droplets on the leaves
and were there are leaves touching the bottom leaf is wet
I have AC pumping into the room maybe it is effecting it
anyone have this kind of thing before

[Camk]

ya im due for some "light" defoliation

[Camk]

well im in the stretch and the CD-1 is a moster taking over the room
