3rd time.. would love input!

[Rusty Trichome]

I wanted to add that I am feeding going by the foxfarm chart... so for week one it says 2tbl big bloom-->1 gal water

Half strength for the first couple of feedings. Your soil looks underwatered, as do the droopy pants. Temps are fine. Borderline low at night, but fine. When you can...check the ph.

so i am doing 1 tbl BB per half gallon water when i have it at this strength 2 questions..
1. what should my nute solution PH be? around 6.3-6.7?
2. If I am already using 50% of what the chart recommends should I just feed one time a week? and water once a week? seems like thats all they will need as of now.

You are confusing half-strength with half doses. Half strength of the Big Bloom would be one TBS:gallon.
1. Using Fox Farms, I get the water to 6.9ish, and add my nutes. This brings down the ph to around 6.3. For all soils and soilless mixes, (peat based) ph should stay between 6.3 and 6.8, despite the bad advise you've already been given.
There is no reason you'll ever come across to have both phUp and phDown, unless you get your water from more than one source.

Also... I believe I will be feeding on sundays and thurs.. if they do not need watered inbetween feedings should I push back my feeding schedule to just once a week and one watering? so they arent getting hit with nutes 2 times in a row?

I feed on Mondays and Thursdays. One half doses per feeding. (same weekly totals as their schedule, though) and I water usually once inbetween at the moment. During the summer I'll have to add water daily, but keep the same feeding schedule.

For my 1 gallon pots, I generally give a cup-n-a-half of nutrient solution, or so. On non-feeding days I slowly add properly ph'd water till slight run-off.

Likely the tent's ventilation will remove the ambient humidity, so more waterings may be called-for. Do not allow soil to remain saturated, but allow them to dry-out a tad. As the plants develop (get bigger) you'll have to water more. Watch your humidity levels when growing in a confined space.

Regardless of what other's have told you in this thread...follow the FF feeding schedule religiously till you get a better understanding of growing cannabis.

raizla: Where did you learn to grow? Did they let you troubleshoot there, too? :wtf:
