Hey everyone! Been delayed with some life shit the past few days. Trying to handle things the best I can and often, that means putting the phone down, medicate, and clear things from my mind.
How many hours of Sun does it get where you live? Sunrise here is at 5:30..
Hey Scott! At the moment, I'm getting first light around 6 with actual sun hitting most of my plants or the greenhouse around 7.
I believe the slow transition is what caused them to flower. I was trying to copy something I saw online last year. I really need to find the article. Needless to say that I may try it again next year, but only with a couple plants. Not every single plant! Dumb mistake but still a worthwhile experience. Because some did not react the same as the others. So there is something to it, but likely not at the rate I was dropping their light hours.
What do you think was the stressor that caused the nanners?
I have no idea. Everything has been stable in the tent in regard to temps and humidity. I don't buy in completely with pin hole light leaks causing problems like this either. I can understand an abundance of bright light and letting it happen consistently, could lead to issues like this though. I have been very careful with never opening the tent after lights out too. Thankfully my tent is mostly shaded from my garage lights too so it sits in a dark*ish corner on purpose.
You'll find out soon enough! I'd say she's not going to like it.
She's doing great right now. Pest pressure is a problem already. She has a strong aroma. She'll be getting a few BT treatments before it's all said and done. Also, I'm spraying the ground and the container with a strong peppermint essential oil and soap spray.
And my second humble opinion is that the plants adapt to the environment.
Absolutely! 100% agree. There are different root types and the plant will put out "water" roots in the presence of sitting water. Completely different processing from feeder roots in the upper sections of the root ball. They are normally tertiary roots off the mains such as tap roots or arterial root branches.
That is why, I am also not completely sold on fabric pots requiring and air gap. I still do it, but my runoff is a combination of nutrients and organic matter that could benefit the plant. Not an abundance of salts. Granted, stagnant runoff is never a good thing.
My next iteration of my tent grow is going to include a 4x4 drainage tray so that I can easily bottom water or wash away runoff as needed.
You’d faint if you saw me water.
Literally get a gallon of water and pour it straight down her throat then let her sit in what she pees out so she can reabsorb it from the drip tray.
Watering done in less that 17 seconds
Nothing wrong with that if it works for you.
@Emilya would cry her eyes out
I utilize the concepts that I read from her watering how-to post. I start in the perimeter of the pots and let that soak down. I always get immediate spilling out the sides of the fabric pots because of how quickly the sides become hydrophobic. So I usually water in stages to have a thorough drench and try to reduce dry pockets (which quick watering will do BTW
@Trala 
). I started using a battery powered backpack sprayer. It has a variable volume controller but I nor keep it at its lowest volume setting to purposely slow me down.
Thanks everyone for chiming in. Some quick photo updates incoming. Blessings.
I was not able to get to the plants yesterday morning. Didn't even open the tent. They are definitely drinking a lot right now! These pics were taken in the afternoon about an hour before lights out. They all shared 3 gallons with SNS209 at 8mL/gal again as a preventative treatment. No signs of bugs!
