    Trying to get there...

    You don’t necessarily need distilled. I’m using RO water for this grow for the first time. I’m only doing it because my TDS out of the tap is kind of high at 300, and I’ve had some salt build up. I wanted to see if RO would help with that. If you use distilled or RO you would probably need...

    LST = low stress training. At its simplest it means bending stems and tying them down to reduce height. I imagine you will want to top them for the same reason. There are plenty of explanations out there if you do a quick search. Botanicare does do hydroguard. I’ve had good luck with it myself...

    Help! Noob here...

    More detail would help here, but just based on the picture with the leaf spotting it looks a lot like a calcium deficiency. You should provide more info if you want better answers.

    Favorite humidity level for Flowering?

    I start at 50 for flower and slowly drop it. I’m 3 weeks in at 46%. It will probably stay there for awhile but ultimately drop to about 40 towards the end. 77% sounds like a number proposed by the lobbying arm of the international society for bud rot.

    Best way to manage space

    Mostly it was either there was nowhere to bend them to because they didn’t go far enough up beyond the scrog or bending them would cover other stuff I wanted exposed. The plants there are about 3 weeks into flower and I’m still bending them a little, but that is starting to end because stretch...

    Best way to manage space

    It’s hard for me to say as I’m not in your grow room. Generally speaking though you want to manipulate the plant to keep as even a canopy as possible. The goal is to get more light on your buds. If you think training it reduces the overall light your buds get then don’t do it. If it increases...

    Best way to manage space

    Plants look fine insofar as you can tell with the blurples. Ideally you want a flat canopy so all of the bud sites get the same amount of light. I would keep tying them down to keep that canopy even.

    Well first cheese has some height per seedsman. Haven’t grown it but they list height at 300cm or about 60 inches I believe. You have to account for the height of the pot, the gap between the lights and the plant and some allowance for hanging height. The vertical space is eaten up pretty...

    Humidifier

    On the other hand you probably don’t need to have both a humidifier and dehumidifier running at the same time. Right now I’m in flower. I have a humidifier plugged into an inkbird but no dehumidifier. I don’t need one because it’s winter and the ambient humidity is like 25% which is kind of too...

    Tincture HELP

    You can make gummies with tincture. I do it all the time. You basically boil down the tincture until it is less like a liquid and more like a syrup, close to tar. In your gummy recipe where you see hash oil replace that with your boiled down tincture. The gummies themselves are basically jello...

    New growth standing completely up

    Not sure if this is related to your issue or not but it’s an interesting tidbit. Typically leaves point up because the underside of the leaf is growing faster than the top. It’s called a hyponastic response and is caused by the production of ethylene in the plant. One of the potential causes of...

    Tri colour

    Sativas do tend to have a more up high than indicas. The trichomes comment is also true. We are talking about effects here. The effect of harvesting late when you have an excessive number of amber trichs is a more narcotic sedative high. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Think of it like...

    Help me settle an argument?

    That’s some veteran advice right there! I liked this one and the one that said “tell her to get her own tent”. I wasn’t sure which l liked better so in complete fairness since I’m having you judge her ideas I asked her to judge which RIU response was better. She said she liked the lie and keep...

    1st time trying to do a serious grow.

    For humidity monitoring you can get a humidity sensor you can check on your phone. I like this one because it graphs the history of your humidity and temps for weeks. 40 bucks might be pricey https://store.govee.com/collections/all-products/products/wi-fi-temperature-humidity-sensor
