wow 4 tablespoons of nutes per gallon for the little plants slow down. max should be 1 of each i bet your ph in your soil is like 4.5 buy a tester I see allot buy the cheap 009 model for 10 bucks but works. i have an old school one takes me 5 minutes to get a reading but works. ill upgrade down the road. and 7 days till water is too long im thinking. what is your humidity? if its real low take a wet towel with warm water on a pan and place in the middle of your plants change towel daily. moisure in the air helps allot in veg 40-60% in early flower 30-40% when buds start 20% humidity.
Thanks for info about the Ph pen and RH issues

Skinny i know what the dosage says but wow. i always use 1/2 what they say unless you are running mh/hps 1000 watters. see to use all the nutes the whole plant has to be getting 100% of light needed that is 21000 lumes per plant min. the big boys who use full dosage are hitting 80,000 lumes or better. they are also using hydro setups so use those amounts and read other posts you will see they hit max 1500 ppm then back off to 600-800 ppm then go back up again. they check everything i mean everything. you dont have that setup and neither do i so cut your stuff in half. trust me or you will have root/plant issues big time. ask any of the growers here who have years of grows they will tell you dont run max if your not pushing max lights and hydro. im jsut trying to save your ass bro if you tell me to F off its cool. i dont want all the work you have done to go down the drain and kill a plant or even have a bad finish.
Love and Peace.

Yes please post picture's. I had a scare thought i had powder mold on leaves. did the milk/water treatment. turns out I was spraying leaves with well water with a nute mix. it left salt's behind. I will not be doing that anymore. only use ro or distilled water for foiler spraying.
Peace and Love

Thanks D. I grew outdoors last year, first ever, and with great sun and never got 11 blades on either girl. Fans are on the way, going to look for activated carbon and a ph pen this week. Hopefully I will be able to control some of the leaf issues she has:-P

nice bro, lookin good!! dam males, LoL. i used that feeding schedule on the lsd and rocklock and the buddha syrup and sweet fast bud grows, i got almost a 1/2 pound from each grow from 2 plants in each. it was what i found worked best for me. everyone has their own way to mix their nutes.

I don't know if I have space for 2. Less than 2feet from front to back of the cab. I'm gonna keep the shorter plant in there until its sexed. If it is female I have to find some way for the cohabitants to thrive.:peace:

im gonna fim 1 time and then when they get the new branches use lst to pull the plant over and let it all grow even. my pots can handle that but not allot more im not gonna try and transplant a plant that is in air injection soil unless i have too. my root system should never ball up. but again this is a test.
Love and peace

My space is 22w x 24d x about 48h, and I rotate a 2 gal and two 1 gal in at a time, using a temp box I made for dark for the ones rotated out.then rotate them with my other two, a 1 1/2 gal and a 2 gal.
It all depends how long you plan to veg.
One of my 2 gal was vegged for 14 days, the rest are 12/12.Jan 20 ECSD 112 days old.jpg

Let me get this straight you rotate every 12hrs, going from the 2 gal to 2 one gal pots?
Great idea if that's what your saying.

Yes.
I made a temporary box for dark.
From 7 AM to 7PM, I have a 2 gal. and the two 1 gal under light, then at 7PM, I swap them so the other 2 gal and a 1 1/2 gal are under light until 7 AM.
Five plants total.
I didn't originally plan on that many, but while vegging the ECSD for 14 days, I started popping more beans, in the anticipation of at least a couple being male.
All in all, 5 out of 5 were female.
