Honestly not measuring, I water all my plants with a garden hose (I have a lot of regular plants too) so if they're feeling light they get 10 seconds of water until they're heavy again. I'll try letting them dry a tad more between waterings.

Good eye! That is exactly something I have been struggling with. Being afraid of underwatering. But I will let it dry out more and transplant tomorrow.

Frisian Duck, I have two that are this size - Topped them a few days ago. Have they outgrown their pot? (No idea why the lower leaves look a tad unhappy)

Yeah the last week or so has been perfect cannabis weather. I struggle with figuring out how dry to let them be. I heard that cannabis likes more dry days than wet days, so I guess I should wet them fully, let them dry out almost fully, then wet them again..?

Happy plant. Just an update for the people who care :D I'm glad I kept it going. I removed a couple of unhappy leaves, but now it's doing well. It's still ahead of the other plants I started as backup, so I figured keeping it made the most sense.

https://vivosun.com/vivosun-smart-grow-box I've seen a few reviews of this, and IMO it looks like a decent product. The only concerns I have are: 1) How effective the carbon filter is and how often you will have to replace it and how hard it is to replace 2) How noisy the extraction fan is...

Vivosun actually has the best reflective surfaces, which is surprising to me.

I'm trying to prepare myself for drying, because I don't have a great location for it, except a furnace room that might be too hot for drying. So I've been reading up all I can to better understand how to dry my weed under those conditions. I run into articles like...

I've been looking around a bit and I keep running into various Youtube channels trying to advertise all those overpriced brand nutrients. I know those are a bit of a scam, so I was hoping to dumb down my fertilizing and buy something not meant for cannabis. Like, tomato fertilizer or general...

I just want to be prepared for Autumn, so I was wondering if these decorative lights, for instance, is enough to upset the night cycle? None of them are near the cannabis plant, but they're within a few feet/meters of the plant.

I have plenty of growing season to grow one without going below 20c, it was more to see if it was possible to do two grows a year, but it's optional, not a must. Gotcha! Thanks It's allegedly not very hard. You just buy the auto seeds, then after planting you spray it every day with...

Bit unrelated to my initial problem, but I've actually been looking for a good auto to grow outdoors in these cold Nordic countries, something cold/mold resistant, has big yields, not prone to pests, easy to grow, has won some awards, etc. @techniciangrower97 and @conor c what do you think of...

Thanks for the insights. You're right that the transplant was both too soon and too drastic, the pot too big, and the weather too shit. I could probably have kept it in the smaller smartpot for another month or so?

Hopefully! Looks like the next week or two will be hot without rain, so that's perfect for the recovery as well. Let's see if we get a glow-up :mrgreen:

I repotted it as suggested. I was afraid when removing the smaller pot that there would be loads of roots sticking through it, but nope. Not a single one, so it was 100% the right move and I had made a mistake in putting it in there directly. I repotted it and added a generous buffer of Biobizz...
