Darade's Second Grow, Perpetual

Darade said:
they're currently light as a feather but aren't drooping, so Idk if I should water just yet, or let them droop a little to tell me.

I find this to be a perfect time to give them about a 1/4 watering, just around the outside edges. You don't want to give enough that it builds up at the bottom and adds days to your watering cycle, but a little bit around the outside edges every 3 or 4 days when you are still waiting for them to drain the bottom, can be a very good thing and can help increase root mass by enticing lateral growth. Remember that there are two sets of roots, the top spreader roots and the deep bottom feeder roots, and I think that not letting them go more than 3 or 4 days without a drink in the top roots, also helps keep metabolism high, and actually accelerates growth, rather than letting them sit for a week without water.

is this the beginning of a bud site? They're already starting to smell wonderful! This is Auto Amnesia Haze, She was said to be 10-12 Weeks to harvest. However she's already showing pistols, and she has a bunch of lower growth, and what looks to be the beginnings of a bud site.

Caramelicious has been in Perma droop, no amount of water or not watering has made those leaves perk back up. Could it just be due to me underfeeding her a little?

Calamelicious what a name.
Could be her root structure or lack of it?
Anything different happened with her growing up?
Hope your having a good weekend my friend

Nothing at all, except explosive growth, she's my tallest plant, and she's supposed to be an indica(80/20). Maybe she's root bound up in the 1 gal? She's what I'd consider the healthiest and strongest out of all of them, just this weird droopage. lol

I blanked and thought they were 3 gal pots....They're only 1 gal pots (AC Seedling Pots)!!! Would I be able to just uppot this baby?

Shouldn't get root bound in a 1 gal bag that quick.
Possible damage to the roots during transplant?

As I said I haven't touched her yet, I was asking if should X-plant, Idk I just decided to water it til run off and heavy. Maybe I wasn't doing enough water, as the pot seems to get dry pretty quickly(Sometimes needing water the next day even).

Update: droopage is even worse I'm noticing the stems are drooping too, and a deep purple colour.

Droop perk, droop perk droop...I just gave them all their full nutes, and some calmag. I also backed the light up a bunch (about a foot or so) and turned them up to 100%.
Amnesia Haze is in pre-flower!! She has a ton of lower growth, I see a bunch of preflower bud sites. I have a question though, if there's a fan leaf covering the sites up, should you like manipulate(fold the leaf away) or cut it to give the bud site some light?

Just give them all the light they can take.
Don't touch the leaves it won't improve anything. :Namaste:
How is your dry cycle?

I watered Saturday, it was what I'd say light-but still heavier than the others today, so I gave her 1/4 water with nutes/calmag, the others they've been dry for more than 2-3 days, they don't droop at all, ever I have to judge it by being way too light lol Caramelicious acts like she can't get enough to drink, I'm thinking her top roots are drying out faster than her bottom ones, so she's needing more water up top, and then it cycles, and all becomes dry enough for me to water to runoff again.

I backed the lights up, just in case those spots are from a light burn, I was also noticing the Serrated edges were folding down, and the new leaves were turned upside down, so I just decided to back it up a bit, plus there was a lot of heat too. I have 2 different lights at two different heights so I'm making sure they get their own right amount of lights!

Unfortunately your overwatering and depriving the roots of oxygen that way.
I know it sounds logical but it actually prevents it from drying properly.

The Proper Way To Water A Seedling In A Large Final Container

In the beginning, you may even want to start your seed directly in the final container, simply by putting it one inch deep, pointy end down. It is surprising to some how often this works, even though mother nature does it all the time. If you go this route, lightly mist the area around the...

I knew that lmfao, I also knew better than to give it more water today (I'm a beginner so I was still confused if I was under, or under doing it), yet still did. Alright, I will 100% refrain from watering her for 2-4 days. xD

Took quite a bit of messing around with to get it working the way I wanted! However, I noticed my schedule was weird lol. My light goes off at 1 PM and comes on at 9 PM.. 16/8? OOPS, they've been like this since babies, would it hurt them to give them 2 more hours of light? Or could I just do it without much consequence?

Two more hours of light will be good for them.
Hope you are well my friend.
