This is from Canna Gardening, and I think covers what I was referencing. "The proportions (ratio) of the various nutrient elements are more important for recirculating systems then with any other system. This is because the plant directly influences the composition of the nutrient. Not all...

Maybe selective eating is not the best way to phrase it. When you drink a glass of orange juice you consume it as it is, sugar, acid, pulp etc. Your body can't choose to consume more sugar and leave some of the acid behind or vice versa, it just drinks the juice. A plant however can selectively...

That one in the back left looks like it's gonna make a 6ft x 6ft table of colas! Was that one topped or just LST?

Agree with JoeBlow on the topping suggestion, and I know you didn't come here to ask about the plants, but they look hungry also! Whatever you are feeding them, they need more of it. They look like they are in full sun, so they seem like they should be a lot more filled out. These gals were...

Another thing to consider: Are you draining the solution regularly, or just refilling the reservoir? Plants don't use the nutrient solution in a linear way, they take what they need out of it. This means that if the solution is not replaced frequently that the EC and nutrient balance in the...

I don't want to get in the middle of the dispute that is playing out here, so I am just addressing the original concerns of the OP about his plant. I believe that the plant is being over fed and that is causing lockout of other nutrients giving the appearance of a deficiency, which technically...

To address one comment, buds will absolutely dry at different rates in different RH. It is not the same at all as 2hearts suggested. If the RH is 70% where you live, and 40% where I live and there are not efforts to control the RH the buds drying in 40% RH will dry much faster, definitely less...

How much are you trimming? I may have a fringe opinion here, but I believe that all trimmers do a lot of damage to the flowers. Unless you are dealing with pounds at a time is hand trimming really such a chore? I harvest 4 plants at a time for 10-12 oz of good buds, before I count the trim and...

I am just starting my first grow with a Sun System 315 vertical all in one hood/ballast with a Phillips bulb in a 3ft x 3ft tent. The tent is 6.5 feet tall, so I don't think I should have any issues with height. This is my first grow with any 315 cmh, but based on the research I did before...

Thanks! That is the plan, top each branch one more time and then aggressive LST while she fills in.

Check out this wacky plant I got from a friend recently. It has three branches per node! That is a first for me. I have been growing for 2 years+, studied the process for much longer and have never seen this before. I cropped it, and the new branches seem to have normal bi-nodal growth. Has...

Why do you want to go from 18 to 24? With my grows, I do about the first 4-6 weeks of veg with 24, then I phase the plants into 12/12 over a 2-4 week period(2 hours at a time). It more closely resembles seasonal changes, saves electricity over 24 hour cycle, and greatly reduces the stretch you...

Pot size matters, at least in a longer veg setting, if you are doing all SOG, then 1.5-2 gal pots are probably fine, but yield is a factor of pot size, anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. Using a cloth pot like Smartpots makes a huge difference. A 3 gal Smartpot will grow the same size...

lol, rep for sure!

I agree with most of what Rocketman64 said philosophically, but when growing indoors, as you said the variables are very different. Time is less of a factor, but light density or the amount of lumens(whatever you prefer), and space are much more finite. The yield I have gotten indoors is...

I always defoliate, and am a firm believer that it not only increases yield, but more importantly increases the quality of yield. Once a bud site is well established, it will benefit much more from direct light contact than having a bunch of fan leaves shading the nodes. On the larger of the two...

Looks like burn that is leading to lockout. Give a nice good flush then a VERY mild foliar with some N, this will help to re-stimulate nutrient uptake from the soil. Happy growing!

Here are a few pics of my current grow, and second attempt at main-line. I only did 4 tops, and then trained a few other branched off the main 4. The plants all have 4 main stalks with 6-10 tops. These are all Chemdawg the first three pics are about 2 weeks into flower. Nice clean understory...

I have done some of the things people are suggesting here in the past, and some of these suggestions are more complicated solutions to a simple problem. See my previous post, use the mounting bracket your fan should have come with, install a simple shelf, screw fan to shelf, and get a speed...

What do you have your fan mounted on? I have mine mounted on a wood shelf off of a concrete wall, and have little noise issue. I use my fan to exhaust 2 x 600 watt hoods, and I run it with a speed control at 50-60%, and that also helps with noise. I think having it mounted on the metal bracket...
