LST will do the same thing, just a bit more involving, depending on access to the plants I reckon, but most likely a little less stressful. Worth a try in an emergency situation, beats burning the tops.

I don't see any harm in removing the scrog. Is there a reason you need to do it, Unity? I am not quite sure what you mean - "until end of stretch", do you mean until end of flower...sorry bru, not 100%.

But as I said before, if the plants are left to support themselves, I can only think this will make them stronger!!

Na, you are misunderstanding me ;)
I meant using the screen if you are not growing scrog and they are getting to big on you.
Just to control they height during 'mad stretch'.

Sorry about the misunderstanding :bigjoint:

Nae worries, Unity. gotcha now. Could be a way to do a whole LST I suppose, I guess you would just need to be careful when taking it off, perhaps you could call it a SCROLST.

I was telling my wife about all the terms people use, apart from the usual having a giggle at me, she asked if anyone had done a glossary of term before? Anyone come across a thread like that?

I'm not sure what Kool Bloom is or does, but I use Humboldt County's Own - Gravity. They call it a flower hardener. I think it adds weight and density to the buds... but I've never done a grow without it, so I don't have anything to compare it too.

I think they are worth it... IF... you know what to do with them. I know with gravity, a lot of people have messed up their plants. Don't know if the same can be said for Kool bloom. I would search for some info on it and how people apply it. Once I figured it out and felt comfortable I would buy it.

Some people on RIU that I have seen grow amazing amazing plants don't use any additives at all. I use a ton of them... so either way works really.

This is similar to a PK 13/14, (I use BioNova PK 13+14) or like the Gravity that Jig mentions.

I would definitely agree, you can see the difference....IMO. But you do have to be gentle I think. the mix for the BN PK13+14 is 1.25ml to the litre. Like everything I start lower and work toward that.

I would go for it Phil.

Peace, DST

Forgot to let you folks know about Barbagseed....well all I can say is that it's still alive:sleep:....only the ganja god knows for how much longer. the first set of leaves after the cotlydons were just scrunched up little things, wtf? Will get a pic of it up just so that everyone can see what happens when you spend your life picking up dirty things from disreputable bars, hahaha:lol:

Tot later, DST,

Haha i know the fealing during the summer i had a hell of a time , but then i moved to the closedt lol ,

My temps now are around 70 sucks i know there 64 with the lights off, im hoping my 600 brings them up just a bit,

have you thought of using the small cfm fans for intake and outtake and make an actual climate control system with out all the fancy workings , i know it helpd out my 250 but i know alot about that stuff cause i breed snakes on the side

That sucks man. Definitely want to see some pictures. Sounds like it may not make it. :-(

Mine are exploding and doing really well. Here is a pic of my biggest bagseed (one of the first set of leaves was fucked as well):

My temps are fine. 68 to 70 with the lights off and 75 to 78 with lights on and humidity stays in a range of 47 to 58 percent during the winter months (so far.)This past summer was brutal though, light on temps were around 90 to 97 but since then I have added a a/c unit, a dehumidifier and tapped into my central a/c for add'l cooling in the summertime. My 4x 4000w are ran on cool tubes with the intake outside the grow room Added CO2 to the mix awhile back and yeilds are above average.
