New to indoor. When to flip ?

[Sedge]

A bit of tip burn going on too Harry ,,what’s the EC ?

 

[Harry bootlace]

I have no idea.
I’m a simple man.
I probably over did the feeding a bit to be honest but I think it was starving

 

[Sedge]

Invest in an EC meter,,you won’t regret it,,

 

[Harry bootlace]

Ok shall do.
Any advice for indoors is greatly appreciated.

Hey Harry,
BIG+ for the EC meter, it's a must for hydro. Some can keep their salts down/diluted enough to grow without a meter, but to actually know the salt levels, you need a meter. To get the most out of my grows I run mine at 1/2 the manufacturers recommended EC, for my setup the 'recommended' is way too strong.
That plant is looking pretty good IMHO, yea, burnt tips but without a meter, they could be worse. I also grow SCROG (SCReen Of Green), using nets to spread the growth out. Personally I use 3 layers of nets. The first is a heavy steel net to train the growth out to fill the space, then 2 trailer nets above to support the heavy, weighty buds. One of the big issues when growing scrog is growth management. You want to nurture the growth that's getting direct light and remove the growth that isn't. You want all of the goodness pushed up into the crowns, to this end I strip all of the undergrowth, underneath the canopy. The buds that don't get the full light become light and fluffy rather than nice and dense, the lower darker regions are perfect for moulds to grow and flourish, so I strip it all out to the bare stem.
Another BIG issue growing in a confined space is airflow, you NEED fresh air in and stale used air out, and that air needs to be circulated around the entire space. Pockets of air that doesn't get moved around will build with moisture and moulds love moisture.

Thanks for that. Just to be clear it’s soil in a pot not hydro. But your post really helps thanks. I’m used to chucking it in the ground and hoping for a monster.

I flipped it last Sunday and I think it’s just what she was waiting for.

I went to Bunnings near me and they didn’t have any. Any particular one I should get ? And to clarify it is soil not hydro.
I see lots online but want to get the right one or one that works

This is the one I have. Seems to be decent for a mid range meter, but to be honest I find very little use for it growing in soil



AG have them on sale at the moment for ~$60 -> https://www.aquagardening.com.au/hm-ec-and-tds-nutrient-meter-with-temperature

or if you wanted to save some money and happy to wait for international postage (from China) they're on Amazon for ~$45 -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000848475648.html

Yeah, you're only winging it without EC meter or PH testing pen/kit. Most important two items once the grow setup is sorted.

You'll find that indoor, when you flip, she'll have a HUGE growth splurt. You want to train that growth splurt out and up, that growth is where you buds will form.

Never used a ec meter , but the ph meter is my bible to watering in soil 6-6.5 ph max I swing around.

 

[Harry bootlace]

Quick update. Hope all is well.

Quick update. Not much stretch thankfully. Got a second fan and the first broke. Ha just my luck.

Looks solid grow

 

[Harry bootlace]

Never had a purple plant before. It’s been cold so I’m assuming that’s why (?)

I guess I should thin out some off the leaves. I dunno. I’m lazy.

 

[Kloud9]

take some of the biggest fans leafs off , and maybe some more airflow ? How much water do you feed it and how often ? As maybe leafs curling due to over watering ?

 

[Madmick]

Could be genetics as well causing the purple

Yeah, just cold weather alone doesn't necessarily bring out purples, unless it's in the genetics( sometimes varies by phenos). I've had some lime green strains alongside purple plants in winter harvests.

Thanks. I’ve been watering every second day but maybe she is extra thirsty.

Am adding a second fan soon as it arrives.
Tried to buy one at the shop but they don’t sell in winter apparently.

It’s getting more purple each day. Almost black. Very pretty.

 

[Harry bootlace]

Sill got leaf curl. But damn it’s pretty colours are nice.

Looks like autumn in there mate
