Nah I germinate stick em in rockwool straight to the pot. I usually start my seedlings at about 300 ppm nutes. Ph to 5.6 checked daily at first. I also just start with a 23 watt 5000k cfl in a cheap little clip light reflector thing.hang it by the cord right over the seedling maybe 6" off. I...

Yes to the measure well thing. I plotted and planned for a week or two taking trips to homeless despot for tote sizes and pricing. I got it down to half inch accuracy on centers of pots in a 5'4"x5'4" room. Luckily you can jmmy the pipes in or out of seals a bit

https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-dissent-grow.492662/page-923 If you're interested at the bottom of that page us my newer setup. Top of next is the leak stop solution. Those uniseals work really well but are a bitch to get the pipe in. Use some dish soap as lube

You could go slip fit or Barb to male pipe threads and use threaded bulkheads but all that stuff costs so it's just cheaper to use seals

I did standard 1.5" slip fitting bulkhead to plumb my bucket system together with vinyl tube that just happened to fit the id of the bulkhead well. That was not large enough as roots in the last few weeks of flower clog the outlet causing floods if I run the recirc pump. I always run double...

I dunno I'm at sea level and have very high humidity and warmer temps. I feed at starting at about 750 at flip to 11-1200 full tilt. So maybe that's the correlation. I notice when I run my dehumidifier to 40% rh or so they definitely drink more water. Edit: not sure of the scale used to...

You may need to look into ro. Perhaps you're getting chloramine in your water? You should have access to the test results if you're in the states.

I remember setting my first tent up in my room. Wife loves white noise. I do not. I tore it all down 2 weeks later and put it in the spare bedroom. Constant air pump hum and fan noise does not do well for the already limited amount of sleep I get.

They look a tad over on nutes but nothing crazy. Yes you can tone it down a little or do nutrients every other feeding. I always notice my new tip growth lightens up and changes leafe structurestr the beginning of flower. I'm not sure they're actually hungry for more as much as it's just a...

I'll respectfully disagree with you in regards to your assertion of larger tops from cutting off lower branches. I have in fact educated myself and would challenge you to do the same. As for your testing of auxin release that's nice. I would never argue that altering new growth doesn't change...

That's nice and all but not particularly relevant to the issue of defoliation. I'm certain everyone is aware that if you trim a new growth end it stops the production of auxin and allows for other branches to thicken due to the increased "bandwidth" (for lack of a better term) of transport of...

But where the disconnect here for me is how could removing material ever, in any way, aid a plant in building mass? Yes you are no longer growing the lower branches. But it's not like the top branches will get larger as a result. The plant is going to only ever be as big and beautiful as...

Because by cutting things off the bottom you are not increasing somethings availability to the top. Plants are not sentient beings that think "oh thank God that lower fluff is gone. Now I can focus on my hair." What you're saying is just not scientifically viable. And if you think it is please...

What was your germ method? Did you put them in rockwool or what next? Do you topfeed in the dwc until.roots are propagated? Too many questions to give encouragement. Also i run my ph starting at about 5.5 and let it swing up to 6.1 or so before I lower it so you may be a touch high. But honestly...

Dudes been gone almost a decade....

But what your going to do is a perpetual flood drain then restart cycle. That Seems unnecessary. when I did flood tables I only flooded 5 or 6 times a day for 15 mins each cycle. You wouldn't want your table flooded during lights out for instance. Either way timers are cheap and you should own a...

I would agree. Training over defoliation would be my personal preference. Like I said if cutting leaves is what floats your boat go for it. I just don't buy into the "spread the plants energy" thing. That's not how plants work.

I gotta poop.

Meh. Not to be unhelpful but imo I would have just.fixed the issue and left them all to do their thing. Those are so tiny they need all the chlorophyll they can get to.help them grow. That'd be like a baby not being able to stand up so you amputate their legs. Just a bit drastic is all I mean...

Where are peep learning about this wasted plant energy on fluff nonsense? I'd love to read one single journal on how defoliation actually improved crops. Otherwise you're just throwing out butter material. To each their own and if defoliation is what floats your boat go for it. But to insinuate...
