Starting A Continuous Harvest Grow - Need Advice

I have noticed some clawing on the middle transplant that seems to have popped up over night??

Ik these are newly transplanted and I watered these 2 like normal veg plants for first time yesterday,so I'm thinking it's not quite ready for full waterings so I'll skip this one and let it dry out more. What do y'all think ? Any ideas ?

Whoooo!! Ik right!!! Ty,They getting into that new soil!!! I watered full water and I got some claws off one of the newest transplant. I'm hoping I just jumped the gun n watered too much before she was ready,only on a few leaves but all are main / top leaves so it could go either way rn,gonna let it dry out n reassess it later.

Good idea to watch n wait. It doesn't look bad, just slightly clawed. :thumb:

You have a few vary minor issues I can see. Light heat stress, low calcium and nitrogen. You should continue feeding N until after the stretch so it has a reserve stored in the leaves. Running out of N in the last few weeks of flower shows you timed it correctly. N blocks the plant from taking up the P it needs for flowering. If you are adding High P boosters this can exacerbate a shortage. High P blocks N cal and mag. It does not matter how much is at the roots if P is blocking it.

If you are using RO water and a nutrient without cal mag then you need to add a full dose of it. A small boost of cal mag won't hurt if you have another source from your water or nutrient. Just like every other mineral, there is always a point of too much causes issues.

I couldn't fallow what you were saying with res and root mass. Are you subtracting root mass from water volume in your mix ratio? What looks like 50 liters of solid root in the res is actually only 2-4 liters of root material. Not enough displacement to effect mix ratios.
 
Ok so I was poking around the flower room n pulled out the middle to get a view of the pots n soil. Just to see any possible issues and get better look at my fav girl and look,I knew I loved her for a reason!!!!!!!

Oh also the one I pulled out!!!!!.....I usually don't move them first few weeks after transplant cuz I don't want to break roots or disturb things but I had to double check to rule out any issues down there....

Look at those quads bbibi!! lol this is the bottom row middle transplant that is clawing !!! Looks good 👍 saw no issues n she felt a bit heavier than she should. I'm thinking the water was suffocating her a bit cuz it's still trying to get them roots out into new soil. At least I hope that's what it is anyways lol I think I'm gonna hit the two transplants with some molasses n calcium sometimes tomorrow or when they drier, n see how they react
 
I am gonna get a black sheet to lay on ground when taking pics like lady Cannafan suggested,I have the backdrop but I need one for the floor. It just makes the pics more clear,sharp and detailed. I think it's a lens thing. Idk but it does work

Iron it. No wrinkles, dirt, heavy dust, to distract from the plant. Crop your photos to remove the unwanted distracting areas from sides, top, bottom. Make the fabric straight without folds all over. ;)
Just some hints.....;-)
 
Ok so I topped all the growth tips except the runt and the bottom row middle plant. I dont want to veg until the two smallest catch up. So I will top everything except 2 smallest and this should give 2 little guys just enough time to catch up to the rest of canopy at the expense of a few colas. No worries these smaller plants help space out the grow. I will defoliate soon

thanks for the info its what i was suspecting light heat stress and low nitrogen or calcium, and yes i was talking about root mass i have 5x 25 litre buckets and i can fill the system up so there is around 15 to 16 litres in each before it reaches the bottom fo the net pots. so yea i was trying to speak about root mass is displacing some of the water as i have 3x 20 litre left over containers from buying multimite liquid seaweed and it takes all three to fill it so thats roughly 60 litres of water. i will do as you have said probably keep the dosage of part B higher into bloom as thats what adds nitrogen and calcium and maybe add 10 ml of calmag so next timei could do 60g of part a than 55 of part b instead of 60/50 bring the nitrogen and calcium up slightly.

thanks for the advice

Can I ask where you put the light when taking pics. No matter where I put it it seems to cast a shadow on some other part of plant. I prefer to illuminate the entire plant like you do. How you get that shadow less effect?

I usually have a light on both sides. I have cheap studio lighting with diffusers to soften harsh lighting that I use so I can move them around when/where needed.

You don't need to have perfection, just getting the distracting elements out and cropping out distractions is worth it. You want the viewers eyes to go to the plant (or subject) immediately, not the elements in the area that can take their eyes away.

Edit: You can hang a white sheet or something off to a side that will reflect light. White cardboard, anything to reflect and fill in shadows.
 
I added to my post above in case you had read it before I did that. :)

Ok I see, I swear I was just thinking about more lights or setting them to lower over all settings.I noticed on sunny days the ambient light makes it very clear and Tru to life,so I was thinking I could use the sun and my secondary light that's similiar spec on other side. Then I could have 2 lights effect n clear back round like your saying !!?? I'm gonna try it n see ty LC

Yep, keep in mind the sun can be very bright. If I'm using full sunlight from a window, I will diffuse with either a large diffuser made for photography, or hang a thin white material over it to make the light less harsh. It's got to be thin enough to allow light. Sheer curtains will work, I've used them here.
 
Oooh yea,it's not dialed in,I used a bit of 2 mil I just got in mail w my fly ribbons but look at middle plant!! If you zoom in it has the effect I looking for !!!! You a genius lc!!!
