Are you sure it’s overwatered and not underwatered instead? I only ask because the medium looks dry – but I know cameras can be deceiving.

I personally haven’t used those self watering pots so I don’t have any advice but someone else on this forum might and may chime in.

I use it separately. So when using bottled nutrients, I’ll typically do the water-feed-water-feed technique; so between feedings is when I give molasses.

Interesting that it’s just on that one leaf. Is there a fan or heater on that side of the grow space that may be hitting that leaf and causing it? If that’s not the case, browning of the edges just like you show is actually a sign of nitrogen toxicity. Although, I don’t really see any of the other signs of nitrogen toxicity such as excessively dark green leaves, shiny leaves, or clawing of the leaf tips. So if it is a toxicity, it doesn’t seem to be major. What is the EC or PPM?

There are many different fertilizer brands out there and many of them work great. I personally started off using FoxFarm Trio of nutrients with CalMag. I used that lineup for over 6 years. I used a few others with another favorite of mine to be Blue Planet Nutrients. You can be successful with either one of those lineups so maybe see which one is available in your area and priced good.

Since you planted in a soil that already has nutrients in it, you have some time – but not a lot. What size containers are they in? The smaller container, the faster the nutrients will deplete from the soil.  Do you plan to keep in that container or transplant up to a larger container? If you transplant up to a larger container with fresh soil that has nutrients in it, then you can delay feeding bottled nutrients even longer.

Do you have a TDS tester on hand so you can check the PPM of the soil runoff? That will help give you an idea of how much nutrition is in the soil and when to feed. The PPM section of the book shows a chart with general PPM ranges for the different stages of growth. When the runoff PPM is low or about the be below the listed range, a feeding can be applied. Many growers will start with a 1/2 or 1/4 dose from what is says on the feedings chart to safe side things.

Beautiful plant! My buddy likes to convert his garage to a drying room after he harvests his outdoor plants. It’s wild how much space they can take up!

Looking great! I’m so happy to see she bounced back for you and is now swelling up nicely!

Hard to tell with just that one photo, but if the trichomes were mostly milky then you should be fine. Many old school growers will look at the stigmas to determine readiness which has been proven to be less accurate than looking at the trichomes. FB growing groups are typically very toxic so hopefully no one said anything that upset you. I had to leave all FB grow groups because of not only angry people but a lot of bad information.

Looking good!

Good info! Thanks for trying this

You can eyeball the 50-50 ratio; it doesn’t need to be exact. Many people will use a 7-gallon grow pot to help identify 1 cubic foot.
1 cubic foot = 6.43 dry gallons (link to source)

So 1 cubic foot should fit in a 7-gal container.

Hope this helps.

Pics are blurry so I can’t tell their color either.

Your question: “I saw on you drying and curing video that you dry them in tent, do you leave holes open at bottom? Dehumidifier or humidifier? Fan at bottom also?

Yes I leave 1 or 2 bottle rectangle vents open. I live in a dry climate so I need to add in a humidifier. I have one fan on the bottom of the tent, blowing away from the buds.

Awesome! Definitely keep us updated. Good luck 🙂

I personally haven’t used the Migro Aray 2 but I’ve heard some great things about it. Here are my picks for the best LED grow lights for a 2×2 grow space:

It was formulated and tested for soil & coco. DWC isn’t recommended since not all of the blend is water soluble. But like I said, it hasn’t been tested so we don’t know really know how well it will work in DWC systems.
