dam hell ya im jealous
glad to hear, lol. thousands of dollars and years later is where I stand. definitely not my first attempt so im actually starting to feel this is going good myself. But with almost 2 months till harvest, im definitely not counting on anything other than at least one or two ounces of mids. If I get more cool, awesome, less and Im going to quit growing till I get a house, cause ill be too damned heartbroken.
I have some new pot porn. They grew a bit and I like to see and show how they looked without buds because theyre going to start filling in this week and ill never remember.
If theres any advice I can give, its got to be less water is better. In my first grow I would have given them a heavy watering today, and I also would have given all the pots the same amount. Bad idea. upon inspecting with the finger pop, and a quicklift, pretty much all but 2 are still moist it appears. the only thing is each plant is completely different for watering needs. but obviously the plant itself weighs less than or about a pound wet, but the pots have a weight. they all have about the same amount of soil, so I lift each, feeling how heavy they are. I know from day one how heavy they feel I packed the soil itself. so the best way, and i wish i really understood this on day one is to lift the pot.
if it feels light, and if you put your finger in and it feels like sand and dry, then and only then water. If you lift and you feel heavy weight or it feels heavier than a dry one you get the idea.
a good idea would be find the pot that feels the absolute lightest. making sure to finger it too, another good gauge. so you find the pot that weighs the least and give this plant water. obviously less water in general is better so dont go crazy, these days i pour right on the base of stem for about 5 seconds, then i spin the pot as i pour saturating the rest of the top and making sure that all the soil gets water, sides etc. slow pour because too fast and it creates a canal through soil and drips right out. pack the soil good from the beginning to help this, and slow pour so it actually wets the soil and doesnt go right through.
so you water the lightest pot and then use that one as a gauge. all the other pots should weigh the same and then you know they have as much water. pick one up and it already weighs the same as the lightest you watered, THEN YOU DONT ADD.
that was not explained to me, i figured it out. at first id just say oh two days passed , let me water, or id look at the soil tops and say boy they look dry, let me add water. that hurt plants pretty bad, but the quicklift and fingerpop are the way to go... bearo420
