First Grow Log w/Pics

Dumbass question time...

I've read somewhere that mj plants do better if you water them during their morning period. Does it really matter whether you water them at their sunup, sunset or night period?

First Grow Log w/Pics I've tried to grow a few times when I was younger but it never worked out, I also used the cheapest stuff I could find and didn't even bother to try and learn anything about it. So this is my first real attempt. I've spent a lot of time reading and learning what I need to know. Now with that being said, I'm a retard, I didn't realize males were basically useless and since I only had one plant going I decided to plant two more. The first plant is only on day 8 so I figure the other two being Rating: 5

Just a guess, but it does kinda make sense to water in the morning. As the leaves start to wake up and demand water and nutes. Vs watering at night where circulation diminishes, and would leave the roots soaking.

I'm just blowing smoke tho, as I don't have a clue what the f**k i'm talking about.


I water when theyre dry, sometimes morning sometimes night,... as long as they get it they seem happy to me. :stoned:

same here...

But then again, if any little thing can help its worth a shot.

I'm wanting to switch to flower soon so I took a sterilite tote, a small one its about 7" wide, 14" long and 7" tall, and placed my six clones in it. Only two of them made it, it was kinda a test run so what the hell, better luck next time.

I'm gonna take two more clones before flower, I'm gonna take bigger clones this time and get a better rooting gel than the liquid I have and not keep the soil so damn damp this time, I think thats what mainly did the first few in...

watering in the morning is better. the plant doens't use water when not photosynthesizing so in effect you are denying the roots oxygen by watering at night.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up, shake...

to expand on shakes comment, applying fertilizer at night is also pointless. Plants only absorb nutrients and nutrients during photosynthesis.

So the pH was still a bit off before I repotted them but apparently, I checked too, the prob is on the run, I've got the pH down to 7ish. Since the repot and flush four days ago I've had to move the lights up an inch twice. Them plants be happy again, me too!

Their age as of now: A is 62 days, B is 54 days and C is 47 days in veg. And, if it makes any damn sense B is by far the strongest/quickest grower with C following closely and A draggin ass a quarter mile back. Next grow they will all be germed and planted together, I know better now

And this is day 2 for the clones in the dwc/dome and they're be lookin' good to as far as I can tell. Not sure if the top will make it but oh freagin well...

Any questions, comments, or complaints? Anybody?

aaaahhhhhhh!

Thanks dru. I didn't think of that but it makes perfect sense.

I was already watering in the morn, just wondering if any there was any truth to it, ya'll have put that to rest though.

Thanks again, everyone

"A" is looking a little cruddy, I think it was a combo of an overwatering along with slight nute burn. I used that plant as a test and upped the ferts to full strength for A and this is what I get. Its already back on the road to recovery as far as I can tell, the prob doesnt seem to be spreading and the lower leaves are not puffy anymore...

The clones have been outta the hood for 48 hours now and they havent drooped any. Still no roots but the bottom of the stems look like they are while spots that kinda bulge a bit, just a few on each, I think the roots will be showing soon.

Here is the clones and A and C
