4 bruce banner plants in dwc. 4 phenos from seed. Grow room conditions pretty much perfect. 75f, 60RH, good intake of fresh air, good air movement, res temp 68f. Plants look overall pretty healthy but all 4 have slight interveinal yellowing on older growth only, those leaves also have some...

Lots of good info there and needs to be considered in dwc whether circulating or not. Pretty much same scenario in individual dwc buckets. Plants use what they need and create excess/depletion of specific elements unless fed perfectly. I will definitely be leaning towards full change out more...

Ok, ill go for it. Worst case if i have too, i can isolate my totes and shut down recirc, feed individual. Hopefully wont need to. I grew for years in individual 5 gal dwc, it was an every day chore to check each bucket for ppm, ph, adjust, top up etc. This recirc setup is gonna be so much...

I have 4 bruce banner #3 plants vegging in individual dwc buckets. Plan was to move them into a rdwc setup ive been putting together a couple weeks before flower. Pretty much a copy of current culture recirculating setup. These 4 plants are from seed and have a pretty wide variety of pheno's...

Fair point, maybe i should finish this one out and if i really see no advantage to CS nutes, i would save money sticking with GH. I would say either line of nutes is probably gonna be capable of excellent results, but what i really like about CS is that its really meant for DWC and when you...

Currently running GH with hydrogaurd. everything going good, maybe 2 or 3 more weeks of veg left. Ive been hearing great things about cultured solutions nutes and really want to try them out. Im trying to decide if i want to switch over on this grow and if i do, whether or not to switch from...

Sounds like you are doing exactly the same as i am. Mine are going great. I have 2 in cloner and one in root riot to test speed difference. The root riot sprouted first, i think because the germinated seed in puck doesnt have much to push against with root to pop head up. I eventually...

Thats been my strategy so far, but others are telling me the opposite and to not defoliate until flower. I guess thats the internet for you lol. Makes the most sense to me to remove undergrowth to concentrate energy at tops. Im gonna take a slightly different approach and take out just lower...

Heres an example of pretty extreme defoliating in veg and this guy built the perfect monster. Pretty much exactly what i did to mine, but he waited much longer. Probably removed 80% of his foliage, opened up the center of the plant and directed energy to tops by eliminating lower growth. This...

I dont think im nearly there yet though. Im aiming to fill 2.5 foot square with each plant. If you had to guess, judging by the pic (currently about a foot square), how much canopy area do you think this plant could fill if switching to flower now? Its bruce banner #3, roughly 9 week flower...

The reason for trimming the undergrowth is to direct energy to the tips. Is the shaded foliage not just wasted energy that is preventing air flow? On the last pruning i did, i carefully removed just lower growth tips that were branching off of the 10 main branches and left all the leaves. There...

Ok, sounds good. Thanks guys. I think im a tad heavy on the nitrogen anyway, looking a bit dark green. Ill raise lights and cut back on nutes a bit. This is just a temporary thing that i want. Once i can get some distance between the 10 tops so they have room to grow, ill smack the light back...

Yes, i understand. When i say stretch, i mean stretch. No it does not mean branch count, yes it does mean branch length. If a plant stretches, the length of the branches increase, which is what i want. I absolutely don't want more branches. I have already topped after 5 nodes to make 10 tops and...

Doing a 4 plant 5x5 dwc scrog, bruce banner #3. Height is a limitation so i really wanted to get branching started early to spread the plants as low as possible. Maybe over did it. Started with lots of light to get them bushy and topped at 5 nodes. Pulled main stalk over to get 10 tops coming...

Yeah, i saw you mentioned that in my other thread abput the plants i almost killed. It just seems difficult to me to get a seed to sit properly in hydroton. Maybe my hydroton is bigger than yours, but the spaces between rocks is enough for a seed to fall right through. With a 1 inch root on it...

Yeah, i actually upgraded to an even bigger air pump and now i fill to 2 inches below pot and let it drop even further. Root growth in that fine mist zone from popping bubbles is just explosive. Gives them a very nice dose of oxygen.

thanks for the suggestions guys, trying to avoid the mediums though. I know it can be done with root plugs, rockwool cubes, jiffy mix, etc. but If this works, i think it will be the easiest method for me because it works exactly like a rooted clone in the bubble cloner. It also removes one more...

im kinda thinking thats what gave me issues. thats what i did first couple weeks and then they wilted and almost died, maybe related to the constantly soggy root riot plug in there. anyway, they have come back to life now and have a huge explosion of roots so water level is doing fine a couple...

I kinda wondered about that too. If anything, other way around. They are crossed with ruderalis to autoflower, but the photo genes are still in there. I would think less hours would still push it to flower faster, or start flowering sooner. Im surprised we don't have straight answers on this...

The way you are doing it is what i always used to do before except i would pull them earlier and go into net pots with hydroton. What im trying to do now is be able to grow directly from seed without doing a mother first and cloning. Works ok just starting in root riot plug, this is just an...
