CND420's First Quality Grow - White Rhino - Soil - Indoor

they are 12 inch pots i give about 1/2 gal to every 3-4 days when the top couple of inches are dry

should i just pull the catch pan out of em and see if it will drian some let it dry out on its own from there


I dont know how big 12" pots are but if its not a 5 gallon pot half a gallon is way to much. I give max 2L to my 5 gallon plants and thats 1x a week if not a little longer.

And as for the catch pan, if it sits right up under the pot then yes that could be an issue because it could be wicking the water and run off back up into the soil/pot. Which both explains why your plants are flipping on you
 
ok Ill pull the pan and cut it back to what about a 1 liter per water? I believe they are 3 gallon pots feel like a dumbass now but hey this is still my first grow thanks for all the help guys

Yea 1L would do. Your not a dumb ass. I did the same thing on my first grow. Now you know for future reference :thumb:


PS those leaves are going to fall off way sooner then you would like them to. So dont get frustrated. Just giving a heads up! But you have other plants thats doing well so 1 or 2 loses isnt so bad :)

Exactly, my 5 gallon smart pots are takin 1/2 gallon around very three days....the 1/2 gallon is a good amount to water/feed, the frequency will depend alot on your Rh levels, circulation and ventilation. I calculate my watering amounts very meticulously, my 2 gallon nursery pots, with plants in flower are taking 3 cups every other day, different pots, different environment. IMHO, I don't like alot of runoff, I pay alot for nutes and I don't want it runnin out the bottom.....just me....but it's working for me.......with everything else I'm doing. Next run it may not work, but with my broken rythum methods it dosen't matter.....pots need to dry out between waterings...period. They will feel light as hell before they wilt, as a matter of fact, I get more rapid growth when the pots are on the dry side.

Yea Mc I totally forgot about the environment. The higher temps can and will mostly cause more water absorption by plants. What happens is that the plants are trying to replace the lost water in the leaves. Its important with RH as well as thats how mildew starts. I my self like low RH and as you said Mc I dont like run off as well. I lightly water every time. Best way to go. I wait until the pots are super dry as well. Thanks for adding that. Cnd could use that info :thumb:
 
glad to have yall man your saving my ass :) ill keep on with it and back off with the damn drip pans being attached to my pot its hard to tell when it starts dripping so im going to change that no I dont want to send all my nutes down the drain i my my room stays in the low to mid 80s and my my rh runs from about 45 to about 55 but lights are on now its time to work ill snap a few pics in the process and get back with yall soon thanks
 
Well shit, i took my pans off there all dry???? my pots are even kind of light compared to normal after watering so idk

I dont think it needs a flush. Im assuming this happened after you fed them. Its a real iffy situation on flushing since the leaves look the way they are and there in flower. If you flush theyll wipe out the rest of the nutes stored in the leaves which looks slim to none already and the soil and after that I dont see how the plant will make it threw flower? Also depending on the time its been in flower it may not be vegging any more and working on the buds alone so no extra leaves will be produced except the sugar leaves which are to small to photosynthesize for energy. Very iffy situation. I would stick the probe in the bottom to see what the meter reads. Or threw the top if its a double probe meter

Lets see the pics and go from there
 
What seed breeder are these white rhinos from? IDK why it says 90% indica when yours looks the other way around. If there clawing and going crazy its definitely a sensitive strain. You dont need to flush and doesnt look like theres alot of fan leaves either. I wouldnt do any defo in the future as well. This strain looks like it needs all the stored nutes it can get during its mid and last days of flower. So if you flush theres no way I see that plant making it to 8 weeks in flower. Just lightly water from here. Looks good not to bad like the other pics. I would definitely take it easy for the rest of the grow.


Whats your light source? Are those the only plants you have or do you have more in flower as well? If you have more in flower that are doing fine the ones that are going threw the changes I would put them back in veg and dont defo once they start vegging again. Just my opinion. I only say this because theres not alot of fan leaves to take it the rest of the way threw flower. Looks like it will finish alot earlier or not be able to as you would like.
 
I do have more plants in fact heres a few pics of the ak I got going pretty good

shes about a week in I have 7 in all in the room 4 that are in flower the other 3 im trying to sex i got my seeds out of an rx bag of rhino that came from detroit not sure all 3 where female, from the research ive done i come to the understanding that if a unpollinated female throws seeds then these are feminised which is what I thought happened here these may not even be rhinos maybe a cross not sure but yeah shes showing strong sativa genes
 
since the pots feel lite and this is just a thought could they be root bound?
I noticed the one picture looked like the roots were growing out the drain holes or did I see it wrong?
 
Those are looking very good. Reps to ya. Also thanks for the reps you and Mc. :)

Is that AK 47? I may be just reaching here you can tell me to shut up at any time. But this happens often so Im just throwing a bone. Is it possible you may have mixed up the 2 strains? The Ak looks more indica then sativa which I think could be your White Rhino and the White Rhino could be your AK 47 since its more sativa?

Dont punch me in the face just asking :laughtwo:

Yea Sir Fish has a point. Very good point! That could be the cause of the clawing as well. I was reading from the discoloration of the leaves and the twisting.
 
I did heavily defoil the rhinos due to listening to the advice of a local buddy of mine that grows with good results using this method but I only plucked the first couple of fan leave then topped the ak and shortly there after topped all my tops on that plant and now im just letting her grow i believe this will be how ill go from now on shes doing better than any of the other plants ive worked with

no your right the smallest plant has roots comming out the bottom of the pot would that do this damnit I dont want to repot right now I need these to finish soon funds are in need
 
going off what the guy I got my seeds told me he was selling me lol Its suppost to be ak 47 but yeah Im kind of with you there

No biggie just switch the names around on them. I do believe your white rhino is your AK47 and the AK47 is your White Rhino lol

If you repot you can use some great white or some rooting nutes that will help along with some b-1. Its 50/50. But yea fish is on the money. Reps sir fish
