sounds like they’ve had water problems previously be careful have you had someone inspect it? I’d strongly recommend getting someone to do so.

All I’ll say is be careful Clyde. Be sure in who you’re committing a hundred thousand dollar debt to share with........not to say anything wrong with her. But buying a house, is pretty much a life long thing. Life long debt. Just be absolute sure in every move you make in this.

Ya man make sure your names on shit too. Otherwise you have no control and if shit hits the fan you can get tossed on the street and there’s nothing you can do legally.

Man straight up I’m excited to be doing this with you guys. I won’t lie. It’s pushing me to not be a lazy fuck and be posting some sorry ass half attempt. If it’s the best I can do, it is what it is. But I’m checking my PH 2-4x daily, fixing it, focusing on proper light orientation, really trying to keep a closer eye on stuff, where as honestly if I was just “firing up another run” I can’t say I’d be doing that. This is a great opportunity for me to learn and have fun growing with you all.

Glad we are all doing this as well! Man you’re going to kill it! It won’t be any half ass anything I promise stay vigilant until you’re comfortable with what you’re doing and once your comfortable keep being vigilant! You’re asking the right questions and always remember the only stupid question is the one that doesn’t get asked! Once you get this shit figured out it’ll be a walk in the park! You’re not going to come out on the otherwise an even better grower!

You only top for mains once with nebulas, you top 3 times to get 8 with nug’s...
Everytime you top, the plant slows down about 3-5 days... that’s 6-10 extra days to get to 8.
I think nugs is worth the extra time, but if you have a plane to catch, do nebula’s....

Man I don’t wanna get that bottom stuff ever again. My plant and lights are wasting time and effort messing with it. Really been looking more into mainlining when I’ve found time. It seems to be the way to go as far as symmetry and lights hitting all the right spots/plant giving to all the right spots.

Hard to get a good shot of it. Frostier “best” bud I’ve grown I guess. This one came together really nice. Dinafem says chop day 80. I’m on day 82 or 83....

I use ppm meter to reach target, watch the leaves and the ppm meter: leaves for too much, ppm meter for plants sucking up nutes.
I push nutes up slowly according to labeled instructions and plant’s general health...
when i see neg reaction i suck a little nutesoup out and dilute ppm a few hundred parts w water. I then wait until further neg reaction or plants sucking nutes.
Neg reaction, dilute; ppm dropping, renute....bounce between too much and dropping nutes...

When roots netting usually you’re at third pair of true nodes...nodes are where leaves come out, not where roots come out....

Cot looks used up...by then leaves are providing carbos/food...
Roots are providing water and fertilizer/minerals...
the leaves are signals not triggers when it comes to nutes; root netting is the trigger for adding nutes, you don’t want to do much nuting before roots can really handle it....
Just so happens that netting occurs about when 3rd true node is evident.

Not really in much of a hurry I don’t think lol.
Idk I haven’t quite decided yet.

The first benefit of mainlining is that you have multiple apical tips, which helps control height.
The second benefit is bigass pipes to help those apical tips grow fast and even.
You can train the tops, to capture the light however you want.

Since you guys are talking abouy mainlining, heres a pic of my Holy grail kush plant I just mainlined. From what Ive researched, this is the proper way to get all nodes equal. Im stopping at 8 mains myself. I topped at the 3rd node when the 6th node had grown out, then removed everything below the 3rd node.
One thing to note with mainlining, not all plants will respond well to the technique. My kosher kush plant stretched immediately after the initial cuts and then when I tried to tie her branches down, she snapped very easily. So just be careful if you are trying mainlining with an unfamiliar strain.
Hope my example helps!

Hey guys, I just mainlined my triple cheese plant today and figured I would show you guys an example of what it looks like freshly done. Hope this helps anyone who might be confused.
