Hi folks

I have 4 Blue Cheese and 4 Bulldog Kronic growing and are now 3 weeks into flowering, I have noticed leaves crispy on the tips and a few spots on the top leaves. Also will I have a problem with these 8 girls in a 1mx1mx2m tent as they are pretty squashed in now and almost reaching top of the tent.

Feeding every 3 days with Canna A+B and also a dose of Monster Bloom, the humidity is around 47-55 and temp is 24 in day and 17 at night.

I have also noticed that the walls of the tent are wet where the leaves are touching the sides is this a problem ?

Any advice would be great ........ and if they are fine and I am just a worrier then tell me blunt to chill lol.

Pics below to show what I mean .... sorry for the quality of pics and amount but wanted to show as much as I could lol.

Some observations:
1) too many plants for your grow space given how long they were veged.
2) long internodal spacing - have lights been hung high the entire grow? If not, see point 1, too many plants competing for limited light. Look into pinching off and LST techniques for next grow in small space.
3) Feeding every 3 days is concerning - should only do this with a very low ppm.
4) Dead fan leaves at bottom not surprising given distance from light and 3 weeks into flowering. Doesn't concern me too much.
5) moisture on your walls will not be good for any buds that are growing up against the surface - add fans and try to keep buds off walls
6) tallest plants will need to be tied over or will burn up when they get too close to light if it cannot be raised further.

Good luck, finish strong!

ok first things first you gonna need 2 sort out the damp in the tent (walls should not be wet) in flowering stage might cause bud rot

to solve this problem get a dehumidifier and some extra fans make sure its got a good air flow

also in a small space like that ur better off having 1 plant (lots of plants dont = Lots of buds)

also cut all the lower dead/yellow fan leaves off it will help the plant grow more in the tops

(do not go mad cutting tones off the plant u will shock it and might hermi)


also just a little note this is ur first time grow so you will learn on the way

Good luck with the grow


(keep it simple)

Agreed. Also seeing signs of over watering, although three days inbetween sounds right. Make sure the soil is right dry before feeding. And maybe go feed, 3 days water, 3 days feed, 3 days water... Could have a buildup of nutes in the soil preventing the roots from uptaking properly.

Good luck!

You should still be able to get some really nice bud but your yield will probably suffer from vegging them too long given your space restraints. When you chop, you can take them down a foot or two at a time and then lower the lights and wait a few days before taking more. This allows the lower buds to get a little more light before being harvested.

Would there be any point switching to 10/14 to speed it up before it out grows the tent??

I know I will lose Some of the yield but it be best too
