    Design me a perpetual grow

    Straight to the point lol been doing this on and off for the last 15 years ( but with hps not leds) You want the veg room to be half the size of the flower room The idea is to have 6 clones, 4 in veg and 4 in flower at any stage. You take clones when you turn the plants over to flower. keep...

    Do I need to defoliate more?

    This is one of my plants 8 years ago, very high amount of defoliation, I understand how plants grow and understand how removing a single leaf will likely effect the plant growth and shape. A single fan leaf covering a node/shoot will make that node/shoot stretch around the leaf for light, if a...

    Leaves looking bad. Suggestions???

    Is there any point re-potting the plant ? I don't think the roots will grow at this stage in flower. might be better to give the plant a light feed, each time you water the plant drop the pot into a larger pot of water for a good 10 minutes. So you know the root mass is soaked and you don't get...

    Topping advice

    Sorry fellow, when you fim/top a plant, within 2 weeks, you will see the bottom growth bush out, so there not set rule's and you can't really mess it up at this stage. You have to wait about 2 weeks and see how the plant looks, maybe you will top it again to get a large bush or pull down the...

    How much light is necessary for clones

    I use a single 8w t5 daylight tube 4" above 10 clones in a small storage container and they root in 14 days Clones redirect energy to make roots, so they need low amount of light.

    Topping advice

    When you fim them, I said you cut it a little too low and it could take a week longer. The idea behind topping and fim is to slow the upper growth, so the lower growth can catch up to give you a bushy plant.

    Topping advice

    Looks good, the top growth will be stunted for 7-14 days and the plant redirects food to the lower shoots, how are they looking (2-3 sets of shoots from the top) ? Are they starting to stretch ?

    Worst seedling you were able to save

    In early flower I would have removed 20% of the smallest shoots to give the larger shoot more space, airflow and light, as this would give you larger cola's.

    Worst seedling you were able to save

    Your canopy look very healthy and level( you have removed loads of the fan leaves), only thing I would say is its a little too bushy ( sometimes less is more), if more of the light, airflow could get deep in the canopy you should get more thicker longer Cola's but you have done a great job...

    Do I need to defoliate more?

    I think it's because most growers that defols Do it wrong and mess there plants up so I kind of get why so many growers are against this. I used to be known as Gavin on thctalk and I had some good fun back then but I did see loads of growers get thing wrong and mess there plants up.

    Do I need to defoliate more?

    That's what they sell at my local grow shop. not sure about buying lights online ( don't have safe address to send the light) (Loose lip sink ships saying ) very few people know I grow and I live in the uk Really need a light that puts out heat 8 mouths of the year.

    Do I need to defoliate more?

    Sanlight Q6W LED Light cost £460 each and I would need 4 to cover a 1m x 1.2m room or a Gavita Pro 1000 DE would give me simpler results but much better light penetration for £455 Maybe I could use 3 leds and save on the electric get some money back over time.
