You're most likely watering too much. Pick up your pots and feel how heavy they are...let them dry out until they are very light in comparison. If you have another 3gal fabric pot, fill it with soil and feel how much that weighs, when your pot is close to that weight, water again fully saturating the soil. Once it is fully saturated, dump anything that is still in the catch pan like 30min later - you don't want your pots sitting around in standing water.

Your plants are looking pretty damn good! Correct this issue and they will get even better.

LoL I was literally doing that this morning and you were right on the overwatering and when I am watering my baby girl is it bad to water and not have any runoff? And I was told by a friend that I shouldn't water it all at once & he said to use the same amount of water but just break up the watering and into 2-3 times that day but is this just bullshit or is this something that anyone else has heard about?

It is not bad to not have runoff especially since you're not feeding with salts, but you want to water enough that will saturate the medium - And that sometimes requires watering to runoff just to make sure the medium is fully saturated and there are no dry, hydrophobic spits in the soil. I take about 30min to water my 3 blueberry plants...I break up the top soil, spray it with my pump sprayer (just to make sure it all goes straight in and doesn't run straight to the edges) then dump 1/3 of my water slowly around the top, then I dump 1/3 into the saucer so it can pull the water from the bottom and then about 15min later I go water the last 1/3 from the top again.

Much appreciated and I will keep you posted on how things are going with her and I just can't believe that I am finally starting to really see and hopefully soon enough enjoy the fruits of my labor and damn she's really smells good

Thanks I'm so stoked about the fact that I actually got a decent plant growing indoors and it's amazing witnessing the transition drom seedling all the way to flowering, absolutely have developed a green thumb and am officially hooked

Thanks I'm so stoked about the fact that I actually got a decent plant growing in an older Phototron and to anyone who was talking to me about me wasting time trying to grow ANYTHING in the phototron or that I might be able to veg in it but I think it's awesome when you are told that it won't flower and I don't have any chance of getting a full grow. Well still got a few more to go but thanks for your help and everything else you all have been extremely grateful for the help I'm definitely getting some upgrades for the new setup but first gotta finish up with the grow and not mess it up when I harvest her. Thanks rollitup and members.20210802_110305.jpg
