    dry trimming

    Hi. Im looking for some tips to dry trim weed. I've spent about 6 hours trimming a plant and i removed a lot of sugar leaves but there is still a lot of them that are curled up inside the bud which will take a long time to remove. Should i just remove them before i smoke the bud?

    Organic nutrients and ec/ppm

    Is there any point to check the ec/ppm of a nutrient solution with organic nutrients such as biobizz? I read that since organic nutrients dont have any actual minerals or dissolved solids it won't give you an accurate reading. Is this correct?

    runoff ppm's /EC

    I'm using this as my medium. I think i kind of got the hang of reading my runoff. I'm trying to aim for 1.3EC in my medium. So if I understand correctly, If my runoff is measuring at 1.0EC I can feed slightly higher than 1.0EC so I can bring it up closer to 1.3EC. and if its higher than 1.3EC by...

    runoff ppm's /EC

    A few weeks back i was feeding at 1.8 EC about 3 times a week which i found out that its a lot and even exceeded the max dose from the nutrient company. When you said you start with 0.4EC, Is that 1 feed for a whole week or do you do multiple feeding a week with 0.4EC?

    runoff ppm's /EC

    im using coco/peat mix. its more on the peat side though. This is my first grow so any strain is new to me and to make things more difficult on myself, I decided to plant 3 different strains haha. I was getting tip burn but i can't recall how much I was using at the time. Now im feeding at 0.4EC...

    feeding at lower ppm's due to weather

    Is it okay to feed at a lower ppm? So instead of giving a plant a 900ppm feeding, I'll give it 3 300ppm feedings. The reason im asking is because due to the weather we're having right now, my pot is drying out quickly and in most cases I have to water it every day. If I give it one feeding of...

    runoff ppm's /EC

    I was doing feed feed water last week. Each feed was around 1.8 EC and I fed around 3 times a week. I was getting a lot of salt build up that way so now I'm only doing feeds at a lower EC. No plain watering

    runoff ppm's /EC

    Okay thanks. In my case, right now, i'm feeding at 0.6EC and my runoff is getting lower each time i feed. Last two feeds i did at an input of 0.6 EC , the first runoff came back at 1.4EC and second feeding came back at 1.0 EC. Is it okay to keep feeding at the same strength for now until Runoff...

    runoff ppm's /EC

    My ec meter measures to 2 decimal places. What will I be looking for exactly from the runoff? How will I determine what I need to do for next feeding based on the runoff ec reading? I just want to understand how to make a decision based off of the runoff ec reading wether I should increase or...

    runoff ppm's /EC

    Right now my plants are flowering. Its about the second week and they're autoflowers. How would I know if im under or overfeeding them without checking runoff EC?

    runoff ppm's /EC

    m trying to determine how much nutrients my plant is uptaking with each feed. let say today I feed my plant 0.55EC and runoff comes back at 1.43EC. My previous watering EC runoff was 1.9. Does that mean my plant absorbed 0.47 EC worth of nutes or do I need to subtract the 0.55EC from the 1.43...

    Feeding everytime with a lower EC

    Ohh okay. i thought since autos are smaller then they would need less. Multiple people that I've spoken to on different forums say that they usually don't exceed half of the dose from the nutes that I'm using. half dose is only around 750ppm. If I use half dose a week and need to water 4 times a...

    Feeding everytime with a lower EC

    I have autoflowers and I only started giving them nutes in flower about a week or 2 ago. I was constantly checking my EC runoff until it got close to 0.1 and then I started giving nutes so whatever fertilizer was used in the "soil" definitely got used up before I started feeding. I have autos so...

    Feeding everytime with a lower EC

    Thanks .I have burnt tips as well. Its not major but there is a slight tip burn on both my plants. I've been feeding one of them at around 900ppm twice a week and the other at about 600ppm about 3 times a week. I might be overdoing it. It's my first grow so I was expecting to run into some...
