that looks great,, but works best in soil containers i guess,, cant rotate and lift out in most hydro or SIP type grows, I suppose you could lift out and rotate in DWCView attachment 3843968 So I've been SCROGing for a few years and decided I'm sick of dealing with it. Don't get me wrong it's done me well but it's just too hard to maintain in my little room. It's hard to reach the back of the plant to trim under growth, hard to check for problems and if I have to do a filter or fan change mid grow it's impossible. So I figured low stress training was the way to go. This way I can rotate the plant and if need be, remove it from the room. I can also cut down on my veg time. Hopefully my quality will go up. Don't really care about quantity anymore. I was producing way more than I could ever smoke. Any pointers or concerns are appreciated.
Yep. I hand water my plants. It's a hassle, but it's nice to be able to use nutes that would cause problems in hydro systems.that looks great,, but works best in soil containers i guess,, cant rotate and lift out in most hydro or SIP type grows, I suppose you could lift out and rotate in DWC

my current grow is a water only soil grow, so i am partial to grows that way nowYep. I hand water my plants. It's a hassle, but it's nice to be able to use nutes that would cause problems in hydro systems.
Everything is a trade off.
I'm still on the fence about my next grow. Can't decide between a coir mix or organic water-only soil. I've already got everything I need to do either one.
Hmm...
outstanding mainlining by the way!!! 2 thumbs upView attachment 3843968 So I've been SCROGing for a few years and decided I'm sick of dealing with it.

I use Promix HP and a bunch of perilite and some lime. Whats the advantage of kitty litter?Can't go wrong with promix HP.
Ever thought about mixing in a little kitty litter?

i am wondering also,, my only guess is it retains water,, the clumping?,, unless they use the older non clumping stuffI use Promix HP and a bunch of perilite and some lime. Whats the advantage of kitty litter?
Improves aeration while holding a little water. I've also heard that it provides sulfur.I use Promix HP and a bunch of perilite and some lime. Whats the advantage of kitty litter?
totally radicalCouple hrs later and she already adjusted. Love these plants!View attachment 3844061
I was surprised how much abuse young plants can tolerate. I have taken long lanky plants & pinned the meristems down in a circle around the pot. They were a little annoyed at first, but adjusted within a few days.Couple hrs later and she already adjusted. Love these plants!View attachment 3844061
