Haha well put. I'll figure out a way to get them to stay lower. I just wasn't sure if I should stop supercropping or LSTing after a certain point in flower

Will have pics later, don't have anything too recent! I'm jw if anyone has experience with LEDs being too close, and if there's any thing I can do to help the plants. I've read that silica may help, and I've turned up my exhaust fan up all the way

Hi all, I'm using a prefab blurple (advanced led xte 300, actual power draw rn is 270w) in a grow tent, so height is limited. The tops have gotten awfully close to the light - like within 6 inches. I've been supercropping to keep the tops as far away as possible, but they keep bending right...

I think the full res change between veg and flower is required if you're using different nutes once flowering begins? Haven't seen an issue with Lucas formula so far, so I guess that makes a difference I guess I'd do the res change when swapping nutes, at the end of the flowering stretch

Just sharing that anything is possible :mrgreen: : This isn't a suggestion by any means haha, but even with a near-fatal issue, i still didn't do a full res change. Ended up losing half of one plant, but all has been well. Lowered res temps and used hygrozyme- I know using enzymes are...

In my albeit limited number of dwc grows (4 now..), I've had different experiences - I think as long as you're checking the water regularly and change the res before any problem gets out of hand, you don't really need to follow a strict schedule I've been using Lucas with GH in dwc- first with...

Bumping this because I finally got pics of my own to share. This could definitely be due to the genetics (first time growing this strain - Lemon Shining Silver Haze from RQS), but my opinion for now is that leaving the fan leaves on fueled the flowering stretch. Going to try it again next round...

Hm, I'm curious about this too - my guess is that you don't need to add every other day, but just once every week or two. With my current dwc grow, I'm not doing any res changes, just adding back, and I readd microbes once a week - but this probably overkill! Would be interested to know what...

Another way I thought about your question: Let's say you decided to grow taller plants (clones from same mother). The size of the netpot wouldn't be the first thing I change - probably wouldn't get bigger netpots at all. I'd first change how long I'm vegging. Then, I'd make sure the light is...

Like rky said, I think how long you're vegging is going to affect final plant height (+ genetics) more than netpot size. I started using 2.5" netpots this year - my last couple plants were around 3 feet tall, but my current one is closer to 4. For me, difference could be genetics, but I also...

If you're trying to stretch a buck, have you seen this post yet? https://www.rollitup.org/t/dwc-root-slime-cure-aka-how-to-breed-beneficial-microbes.361430/ It's a long post, but Heisenberg tea is great, I started using it after I had an issue in my current dwc, but I'm going to be using it all...

Ah, thank you! I guess I was just looking for some validation - that I'm not just being crazy doing this. I have been keeping an eye on the leaves that are getting completely shadowed, but none have begun to droop or turn yellow yet. Thanks also for the note on mold/pests; been making sure that...

Even when not lollipopping and just pruning though, it seems like growers remove both growth tips and fan leaves. Any other reason why taking off the fan leaves might be a good idea? Pic was just an example, I understand that lollipopping's a specific form of trimming

Hi all, Question for you guys. Putting the discussion of whether to prune or not aside for a second, let's say I'm pruning. It seems that conventionally, growers will remove ALL growth below a certain point, like this (not my pic): Is there is a reason why they don't leave the fan leaves on...

Good to know! And incidentally, I put some hygrozyme in this morning and decided to only use 1/6th the strength. Flipped to 12/12 two days ago, and they've already begun the stretch. Smelling good, too

Thanks all for the help! Wholeheartedly endorse hygrozyme. I think I'll also look into making heisenberg's tea for the next grow

Only got cool mist ones, from the boomer days

I actually got a humidifier on, just to maintain 55%-60% rh, so I've never thought to use a dehumidifier at night. I'm not sure if I got the right ambient conditions to use a dehumidifier, but I like the idea I've also read that a temperature differential between night and day is helpful, think...

Sorry for being unclear - I have an analog thermometer sitting on top of my light, and one digital thermometer at plant level. The analog up top stays around 80f during the day, and the digital down below shows similar temps as well. Since the digital thermometer also saves recent min. and max...

Haven't seen any slime yet, thankfully. I had gotten warped/wilting leaves that I cut off once they got bad - my earlier pics still have them. And yes, it's a digital thermometer that shows peak max and min temp. I never check on the plants in the middle of the night, so I'm taking the min...
