You're in coco and perlite but you're watering like you're in soil. That's a problem right there. You don't want to let coco dry out.
You know I was watering more often at first but they seemed overwatered. I read not to let it dry. Ive only been letting the top 3rd or half dry tho. They still feel a lil heavy when I water normally. What do you reccomend?

Believe I was thinking of supercropping. Lst is just applying some pressure to get them where you want them to go? Make them stronger? Have you heard of a company called ecofarm? I ordered this light but thinking I may have gotten ripped off. Still not shipped and wouldnt offer a refund.
The umols look decent. Not the best expert on lights but I do know who the experts are! Listen to Osram, even if you don't buy their light, they tell you what's important. I just heard so many amazing things about the Spydr despite the price tag. Not a single person had regrets and wanted to buy more in fact! When I can expand, I might look into building one, but then again, I do absolutely love this light without any buyers remorse!!

My gauge usually reads around 60 but Im not sure how accurate it is. Govee brand. Thats running the humidifer I have on high most the day.
Current conditions. Humidity is lower than normal cuz i turned it off while I was feeding the girls. Its a tight squeeze and didnt want mist up my ass. Lol Pretty cool they hook to an app on your phone. Reviews on accuracy were good but they just seem a lil off to me....dont seem to respond to what im doing with the humidifer sometimes.

Correct on the LST too.. just stretching/bending the plant and tying it down with a twist tie. If you took the twist tie away it should stand right back up but left for a few days it'll start to become rigid and stay that way after the tie is eventually removed.

I see you have a few plants, which begs the question why not take this opportunity to get some direct knowledge, find the two most similar plants remove any huge leaves from one that you can't tuck out of the way, and compare the result.

I like that idea but there is only 4 of the strain in question. First time I trimmed I did do one a lil more. The other strains seem to be spread out nice where all of it can get light. These heavy indicas tho the fa s are like heads of cabbage!!! Lol

Upon furthur review im fairly certain my led was too close causing leaves to droop and wilt. Was more than just the one strain and notice it was only the ones right under it. Thx for all the input guys. Just finished sealing off the flower side and about to install the ac. Stoked!!!! Would you guys flip these now???

Depends on if I expected them to stretch very much. If they're going to stretch a lot I might depending on vertical space. If I didn't expect much stretch I'd go a little longer, also again depending on space.

I got high ceilings. Just trying to get the best crop in the most effecient amount of time. Once they get going Im gonna cut clones once a month and flip. 2 sides to the flower room. So rlly ill veg whatever half of flower time comes to be. These were seeds.

Ill be using infared which I read causes some stretch. Any familiarity with ir/uv?

I'm flipping mine when my canopy is 75% full in my 4x4 tent based off of a recommendation from this site. It should allow the canopy to fill out while stretching away from the scrog net and not sit right on top of it directly. Overall bigger plant should equal more bud but I am a huge fan of training the plants for efficiency. I am looking to get a pound from my tent this time around minimum. I'm hoping O'll be able to flip in another 2 weeks tops. I sprouted these in late Feb!

I can take a garbage bag of fans and you wouldn’t know the difference in a week. I imagine environment plays a role in what you can and can’t do as well.

You should have a full spectrum light, don't want to leave anything out! The sun doesn't! Plants use all.slectrums of light, visible or not to us!
I veg with hps no problem, I don’t notice much difference using mh, genetics play a bigger role imo.

Ya i have 2 600 watt hps and if it arrives i will put that ecofarm light in the flower room. It is full spectrum with uv and ir. If not i will put the sf4000 in there. Sf only has a lil ir tho and cant control it seperately. Read they should be used towards the end of flowering. Believe if you kick them on a bit before your lights go out it simulates a sunset. Led in the middlle. 4 x 10 but alternating sides so 2 4 x5s.

Vegging with a combination of mh and led. Flowering with hps and led with uv and ir. Keeping a close eye on temps and humidity. Im gonna leave them. Take some off in flower maybe. The one side looks wilted cuz i had the led too close.
