Nice n healthy!

Thanks... the environment has been staying in the 70's for temps and humidity. Except when I open the ,tent. Then the humidity drops. Tonight i bumped up the power on the lights in the small tent and then raised them to keep my DLI between 25 & 30 for now. Tomorrow I mighty do the same in the bigger tent.

Everything in the small tent is in 3 gallon pots and no matter if it's in peat or coco, it has grow dots. So the only thing I will be adding to these plays is a watering with recharge occasionally before it goes into flower. And then possibly a microbe supplement to help in flower. In the big tent, the runts in the bag with grommets is also in coco with grow dots and will be treated the same as the plants in the small tent. However the other 3 plants in the big tent are all in plain ocean forest with nothing added. So when they start to stretch in early flower, I will start watering once each week with Neptune's Harvest liquid nutrients. These plants will also get the same microbes as the grow dots plants. This is my current plan for these girls.

Today the girls in the big tent started butt chugging. I don't think the ac infinity self watering bases hold as much water as advertised. I will have to check again but i thought they were supposed to hold about 2 gallons of water, and mine are pretty full after about 1 gallon.

Well after looking again they only advertise 1 gallon capacity.

Girls in the small tent are officially butt chugging as well. That blackberry kush is looking like a little beast in the tent right now.

Oh man, my girls are starting to take off. They still seem pretty small though. But they are showing sex and some of them are definitely starting to stretch. I will post update pics tomorrow. With my lights getting bumped up in power due to the girls no longer being seedlings, I have been able to drop the thermostat setting the heater in the lung room. The highest temps I've seen so far were 79° in the small tent and 80° in the big tent. Today we are back down around 77°. And around 70% humidity.

Ok so last night I noticed something that i saw the last time I grew in fabric pots that I didn't see in my earthbox grow. I noticed a couple leaf tips on a couple of plants starting to curl down. So before in previous grows, I saw this, it never happened in the seedling stage or veg. It happened when the plants started to stretch. In the past I assumed I was over watering. Now I believe I was underwatering. I haven't watered the girls for a while now. I filled the self watering bases and assumed that would be enough, but last night I went ahead and watered with recharge 1 last time. I may need to water again but I don't know if I will be using the recharge again as you are only supposed to use it during veg and maybe the stretch. So far the Critical Orange Punch, Purple Punch OG, and 1 of the runts have been living off the ocean forest soil. Next week I plan to water using the Neptune's Harvest liquid nutrients, just in those 3 pots. Everything else is water only due to the grow dots.

Ok quick update.. I went ahead and ordered a few digital moisture meters so I can better water when needed. OK, so here is the 2x4 at week 3. I did a little leaf tucking on a few of the plants today.
