Flowering phase doubts

[Vaskkk]

Hi guys, i'm a noob and this is my first try, i'm using a fast genetic and i'm measuring only the water ph. The plant has around 50 days and it is in a flower phase since around 20 days, the plants looks ok? I'm using old lights around 100w, i should be worried for the yeald? Also i need to dry out the soil because it's too wet..

High ! Your plant looks OK to me from what I can see of it. The soil is too wet as you said, so be careful of root rot if that happens too much. I let my soil dry until I start to see my leaves start to droop some. Learn to read your plants leaves & everything starts to become a natural instinct. That's my best advice for a new grower. The plants leaves will tell you everything you need to know.

Welcome to 420magazine my friend.
Great looking lady.
If your lights only a 100w she will only grow so big and fill in so much.
More light will help her grow bigger and yield more.
Like @Buds Buddy said don't over water.
Watch for a droop before you water. She will tell you when she is thirsty.
Also you may need some nutrients to get to end of flower as most soils don't have enough nutrients to get her all the way to the end.
Happy growing.

Thanks for the suggestions, Would you recommend transplanting to improve the soil or would it cause too much stress? also I forgot to mention that I use an organic fertilizer for growth and flowering even if at lower doses than recommended.

NPK Ratio's change from Veg to Flower. Do you have 1 for Veg & 1 for Flower or using all the same nute ? Then again, I use synthetic nutes a lot so it might be different with organic.

I wouldn't transplant now. Just water and feed properly.
Next time I'd add perilite to your soil. For aeration.
Do you have a schedule with your nutrients?
Try and get on the schedule, feed dry ,water dry, feed dry ,water,dry.
You need to get your nutrients to the proper strength according to the schedule.

I was wrong, on this i'm using this.
For the grow one it says 3 to 5 lt for tablet i put half in 4 lt and for the bloom 5 to 8 lt i made half for 8 lt i threw up most of it because it says to do so after 1 week. Also today i saw this holes in the leaf

 

[Buds Buddy]

Looks like a Fly, Grasshopper or something like that was munching on a leaf. Probably got stoned, crashed into a wall & died.

Hey Vaskkk,

Welcome aboard! That looks like coco coir, there’s a huge difference between soil and coco. Can you tell us what brand it is or show a pic of the bag? We will get you all fixed up soon.

 

[Vaskkk]

It's simple soil taken from a fertilized garden with wet remains, actually it's too wet because the temperature is too low around 18-20 c. I tried the ph with the paper and was around 6-7 ( i know that 6.5 is good)

 

[013]

Cool just checking! It’s so easy to get it wrong since soil & coco look very similar. That soil looks good but perlite, pumice, rice hulls or bio-char will help with aeration and drainage

 

[Vaskkk]

I think i will wait 2 days without water to see if the situation will be better, if not i will try to change the soil or dry it and adding after some perlite. Thanks

Hey - not trying to tell you what to do but if it’s auto or fast buds then maybe consider riding it out without making big changes. You can always revamp your soil before the next run, but whatever you decide we will back you up

 

[Slammy Pajama]

Hmm, if the root ball has stuck the majority of the soil together in your pot, I wonder if you could even try and carefully hold the plant and pull the pot so you can add a little layer of perlite or perlite/soil mix at the bottom for the plant to sit on? If it looks like the soil is too wet and gluggy, that could help those bottom taproots not get drowned out, and I think perlite slowly floats through your soil and winds up at the top, so that might be a way of getting it to distribute through your soil over the coming weeks without disturbing/re-tilling the soil?

This might be a terrible/crazy/unnecessary idea, so if anybody else has comment on that, jump on in! But I'd feel better about doing something like that as a last resort than trying to change the soil mix in flower

 

[Vaskkk]

Little update, i'm not giving water since 3 days and i put her out for 3-4 hours (the rest with lamp), the combination heat/light is already giving some results, the soil is starting to dry and the flower are getting bigger, tomorrow i will add some perlite and change some of the top soil with some mixed soil. I'll let you know

 

[Vaskkk]

Thanks everyone

Looks great - very nice turn around!!!

Good recovery!
Looking at the plants, there was not enough N in the vegging stage, that's why the leaves are rather scarce and feeble
It is stretchy because 100w is not enough light
Plant hardly needs N during flower, so it's flowering fine but yield would be greatly enhanced with more lush foliage to supply energy/food
Kitchen towels under the pot will draw a lot of excess water out quickly, simply change the towel when wet

Thanks man, i will write on stone your words
