    Anyone feed with every watering?

    I was just about to water this morning when I thought why am I putting straight water on these plants that are getting 1500 parts per million on feeding days then going to almost straight water. It seems having such a wild fluctuation in the osmotic pressures is going to wildly swing water in...

    I'm being impatient with myself. I should probably go traditional and straight watering, in between nutrient+water feedings...but I'm not. I don't think nature varies the osmotic pressures so wildly. I'm going to do 350-500 ppm and 1k-1.2k ppm on feeding days. I'll keep watching the EC and pH...

    1st Grow NL using HPS

    Oh another lucky idea. At least it appeals to my novice sensibilities. I took the plastic foot/base off a large desk top fan and suspended it upside down. The 6 inch clip on fans circulate air but they aren't strong enough to get the canes swaying gently. The big fan does though. As it...

    1st Grow NL using HPS

    I think the flowers started to show 2 weeks ago. Still have lots of time to fatten up. If I don't lollipop them next time they should be shorter with same about if veg time using the defoliation. I'm looking at the post I pot up on Feb 26 and you can't really see any flowering yet. I'm...

    And if you're new like me make sure you have at the minimum these meters: pH meter ...adding nutrients will change the pH. Check it both when it's just water without any added nutes. And also when on days your adding your fertilizer to the water. Make sure you have the little pH adjusting...

    One of the better guides... http://www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-defoliation-tutorial Also some good guidance. https://www.rollitup.org/t/defoliation-removing-fan-leaves-for-higher-yield.352300/ I'm watching videos of giant buds, with cured yields of 1.4 grams per watt and over using...

    I'll post up on this thread links to what I've used for guidance. Although they all link the defoliation success to extra light, I'm thinking that's only part of it. Pop just one fan leaf off a node and leave its opposite and though the light hits both bud sites, the pruned side gets the...

    Rearranged the tent after getting my lux meter. There should be an equipment list for beginners. The lux meter needs to be on it. The buds are coming along well I think. About 40 days or so left. Cha Ching and Beastie Bloomz to be added to the nutes. Looks like the same ingredient list on...

    HELP.... newbie....

    I know with indoor grow of miniature rose's the two great evils are spider mites and powdery mildew. Air flow really helps prevent both. I can't imagine it's much different for cannibis. Also I have mine on wheeled planter stands. Don't let your fabric pots sit in their run off. The roots...

    HELP.... newbie....

    Make sure there's a couple oscillating fans going. I accidently double ordered the clip on fans and oscillating fans. I used them all and haven't regretted it. The gentle swaying has really thickened the stems. I'm guessing that if they are like the prize winNing roses I've grown, thick stems...

    HELP.... newbie....

    I think the 4 week veg time is a great suggestionight based on me going 6 weeks and having too much plant lol. Northern lights has been a fun first grow for me to. Here's mine after repotting (same size as yours) and then just couple weeks later. 1/14 first pic 1/30 second pic. I'm using...

    Before today's defoliation And after Day 21 of flowering After much reading both on this board and in botany journals, and synthesizing what I know of how wild grasses and such respond to natural grazing, plus experience with 25 years as a rosarian, I'm risking a grow on the belief that there...

    How much can u get out of Two 10x10 bedrooms

    If he's got deep pockets I'd suggest looking around for a consultant with references to come in and help. Have some expertise in the fishing area. And there are guys that will spend 45000 - 60000 on a boat and another $25,000 more in gear and not catch a single fucking fish trip after trip. I...

    Starting to veg for the THIRD TIME!

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing. This kind of goes along with my curiosity about grafting on to the main stalk of a harvested plant. That way you got a well established root system pumping tons of energy into that grafted clone. I just grow for the fun of it. I might have to give that a try...

    Does there need to be a lights off temp drop?

    Does there need to be a lights off temp drop?

    So my nighttime temperatures were getting down to 62 degrees. In order to get better quality bud I added heating system. And now I have the proverbial stupid question... Looks like I should be able to regulate my temps at lights off to about 75 degrees. My daytime temps run between 75 and 80...

    It gives me a headache when I read a long post that just completely disregards any punctuation it makes me think the writer is either ignorant or just soo self involved they don't have time for silliness like making what they write readable and that their readers aren't worth the trouble of a...

    One Light 3 Pounds!!

    I watched the authors video. That did not look like weak, larfy, bud. Would I pay $500 for the book? Unless the book can independently perform fellatio, make dinner, and tell me I look great, I'm not dropping that kind of cash. Definitely interesting stuff that goes against the...
