I will check out your journal and will have to do my own on the next grow.
That sounds exactly like what I do, if one branch is clearly inferior to the ones around it then it gets the snip, and giant leaves that are covering potential top cola branches trying to grow get the snip from the top...
Your plant looks amazing! I have so many questions, how long did that take to veg?
I see 2 screens, is that because it outgrew the first?
I see no leaves at all, at what point did you defoliate, how/when do you eliminate all growth on the bottom?
I was scared to defoliate too much and...
A 2000W LED is no good?
I know the true power draw 390W... but I thought modern LEDs were more efficient and figured it was as good replacement for 600W-800W HID?
Tried a 600W HIDand it was just too damn hot even with my in line fan
I am definitely down grading size going into the next grow, so would you recommend 2 5gal for 2 plants in a 4x2?
In your opinion is it worth taking the time to train them to maximize space, or would it be better to let them do their thing for 2-3weeks then switch to 12/12?
(These vegged for...
Thought it felt like overkill - but then the plant has seemed to like the space? That being said I ran out of room above spil earlier then I thought, and I would like to find an optimal balance between root grow space and above soil grow space) I also doubled the light intensity (was 1000w led...
Ah thanks for letting me know, lots of people replied to my comment, does that mean it's now a zombie post? Hahaha, I do see now that it was from 2012 - I'll get the hang of things haha
Check out my reply to herb and suds! Detailed timeline/pics of my current grow using 30 gal pot.
2000W LED, 2'x4' tent, in line fan directly to window outside for smell,temp, airflow control
1st pic is Dec 16th - just planted into 30 gal pot - left is cheese fem right is blue buddah. Both started from feminized seeds.
2nd pic is Jan 2nd/2020, notice how much bigger the plant on the right is getting? (Either better genetics or first indication of a male plant in veg)
Both of these...
What do you mean by alternating leaves? Is that an indication of maturity and therefore the plants readiness to flower? (I know flowering is initiated with a 12/12 light cycle but someone said floweing seeded plantstoo early results in reduced yields/unit space)
