Day 15 and Gwyndolin is showing plenty of growth. She isn't as yellow as she appears my MH light has a slight yellow tinge to it. Cheap MH bulb but I'm not concerned. She is at her third node and her stalk is thickening up plenty so I decided to top her early. I want plenty of tops so I can take some clones.

She was recently fed with 50% strength Dyna-Gro 7-9-5 in a gallon of water ph'd to ~ 6.0 or so.

Just a quick little update I transplanted her back into the organic mix. My nutrients were getting fucked up and I don't have a way to accurately measure my Ph. I also topped her but if you look closely it looks more like I fimmed it. Here's hoping. Looks over watered, what do you guys think?

Personally, I never concern myself with humidity unless it's too high in flower or during the cure.

Google up VAPOR PRESSURE DEFICIT and take a look at the relationship between plants and the RH! Here's a chart that maybe interesting!




Keep in mind the lower the RH - the more the plant will transpire! That means more nutrient taken up!
I like around 45% as a rule in bloom.
I like it around the same to help keep PM away in veg....

PM loves a big swing! If you have a power outage - good chance of a PM attack in 3 days!

The whole thread you have been too conservative on nutrients. The paleness of the bottom leaves, purple stems and ridged, wilted top leaves with slight leaf margin damage is all from deficiency.

Put these in a nice nutrient rich soil and watch them start to take off.

It's sitting in the organic potting mix now. I can't keep up with the measurements for coco, at leas t not now. I'm too disorganized and don't have the space to do what I'm looking to do.

Seeing what progress they make in potting mix will be interesting from this point onwards. Normal bagged potting mix?

You really do need to use clones from the same mom of the exact same size. Basically mirror image cuttings to really get results from a side by side. Even better. Choosing 2 cuttings from a lot of 20+ that show a root on the bottom the exact same day and are also mirror images of themselves.

Believe it or not, that miracle gro soil isn't half bad. I used it to create all my inground beds this year for veggies and fruit. Everything doing very well.

Personally I would amend the coco with some lime, just so you don't get any PH issues.
You been eatin them fruits and veggies? You feel alright?
