A people problem

In this case this issue is a me problem.
This is a picture of a chronically overwater plant. Strain is Max 69 3 weeks in veg now in wk 2 of flower. It grew 75% on average less mass compared to all those watered correctly.
I left for vacation day one of flower so this is two weeks growth in the flower room. I had spotty coverage for the 2 weeks away. Sucked it up :(. Bad surprise. Rambling here.
This is the worst one ( not pruned) The plant next to it is the smallest out of all the others. (After a serious pruning.) It would eat the other one for breakfast.
Thought People might like to see it. This plant was treated the same in every other way as 80 something others that grew great. So this is Unadulterated overwatering. At least it seemed interesting at the time.

My bad. Mac 69 in week two of flower. I had literally just finished pruning and wanted to take the pic and put the plants back to clear the floor before I swept up.
The age of the plants is 3 weeks in veg (21days), plus 2 weeks into flower (14 days) so 35 total days old from out of clone machine.I start training in week 2 of veg so plants are more compact initially going into flower. If left unchecked and just tip pruned They would’ve course be bigger on average but this allows me to control the density and height of the canopy so I can really maximize the square footage. I try to maximize every branch really. No larf ( I hate that term). The bigger one in the pic represents the smallest one in the room. On average they run a lot bigger. And no I do not leave my floor littered with debris. If I did I would not have a girl at all.
I was a little tired and a little stoned when I made that post last night.

Before I went away all the plants were the same size about the size as that little overwatered one. I watered it with H2O too and I’m going to keep it around to see how much it will recover in two more weeks under ideal conditions. The growth was very sappy and brittle on the overwatered ones. Anyways like I said it seemed interesting at the time. I know a lot of people be included notice when their plans are trying to tell them something But can’t always understand it. So yes genius overwatering will stunt plant growth. Varying degrees of overwatering will stunt plant growth but maybe not enough for the grower to spot among tons of other plants packed into a sea of green Unless they are lifting up every single pot to feel the weight which is a little unrealistic. Even With Pressure compensating OCTO bubblers with all the feed lines cut the same length And the filters on the zone lines always kept clean and the Irrigation Water being fed right into the middle of the zone line I still get some sites receiving a little too much or too little optimal. By no means is it a dealbreaker but it would be nice to have every plant receiving optimal water via an automated system without needing to hand water or stepping up to smart controllers with soil sensors. The feed lines are connected to drip rings around each plant. Granted they are homemade from quarter inch vinyl drip tube but I really take pain‘s to make sure each one is exactly the same with the same number and size holes in each ring. I also take pains make sure they are clean in between each run. If any drip rings are suspect I just replace them. I have not been doing sea of green very long therefore I have not had to irrigate so many plants in such a small area at the same time. It’s easier for one that’s too wet or to dry just sneak by. Anyways It now seems like this post is overwatered as well rambling again.

I’m busted. You guys caught me. Debris on the floor, no wonder I am overwatering damn! I won’t post any more pictures with the HPS on. Even though Hps on or off was kinda irrelevant for this pic. One only need notice the rough difference in size, not the mottling on the leaves. I figured it was a judgement call. Good to know! I just thought it was interesting to see how the effects of overwatering, (o2 deficit) not combined w any other issues can so extremely stunt, yet not kill a plant. I didn’t realize the community was soooo stuck up .
I am all for keeping things light etc. well as busting balls. In addition to having a little fun if one would make an unbiased comment or observation a bit more on the serious side thus contributing to the thread that THEY have chosen to grace with their attention then all participants could get something out of it. Novel idea huh? In this case the content of my post must have been far too elementary for the level of expertise congregating this thread. Had I known before hand I would have never exposed myself this way. I would have instead found another thread and followed suit. Making zero contribution thus concealing the level of my genius so I may not be pestered by the rabble. Anyways I APOLOGIZE for the lack of substance. I was unaware of the quota. I will try and do better in the future. I want also to thank all my fans. I couldn’t have done it without ya! ✌
