coz i got 2 cherrys of sum1 but they came in soil, and all my rest and previous grows have been in coco,, while yes i have the bio feed and whatnot, im just not happy doing a mixed grow,, 2 resevoirs and allsorts, plus im not 100% on coco let alone soil lmao
i dont need any of the mentioned nutes, but it cant hurt, il prolly just order a bottle of rhiz and folier feed after transplant, just gotta be gentle thats all, wash the roots with luke warm ph water then into coco, job done, but i was reading the karma hleps in the water u dunk the roots in to break the soil away,
also it helps learn for the furture

you need to ask santa next year for a small nft kit, bet you never go back to coco......

hi ive another question for anyone,i was going to grow 6 plants,and veg for 6-8 weeks in 5 gallon pots,but ive been told that 1 600w isnt gonna be enough coz the plant will be to big and will cut the yield and id have more yield growing 3 big plants and saving three,what do you think?

If you were wanting to veg for that long you could just do a one or two plant scrog and pull the same as six.

id prefer to veg for 6 weeks or more and have big plants,i will top twice making them wider,so even with my parabolic reflector i cant see all the plants getting sufficient light,so what i might do is grow the 6 one of which is an auto anyway so five photos,and if i think they are not getting enough light i'll buy a 400w to go with the 600w,coz i dont wanna have to keep rotating the plants when they are big as its way too much hassle,but it better be worth it,as the ammount of money im spending could of got me stoned for a year lol,thanks for your imput guys and girl

that what i thought but its soo confusing coz everyone has different opinions,i also saw some1 pull 11 oz of 1 plant and another fella got 2lbs from one plant but he had 2000w of light and prob tons of exp,my grow space is quite big i dont know exact mesurements but id say 10-11 ft long about 5ft wide and about 6ft high give or take,ive never grown big so dont know how big they get,but i dont wanna get to point i have to chop one or something coz ive ran out of room,id buy another light,thats not a problem,do you think my grow room would be big enough for 6,thanks.

You might want to lower the veg time down to about four weeks if you've only got 6ft of height. You would probably want to flip them once they get to about 2 ft high.

6ft high is not high at all, time you have your pots or trays then the hight needed for the lights, not a lot left for big plants, you will need to top like mad and keep ya canopy low all the time..bit like scrog lol

 

[dimebag87]

Defo. Don't want them in your lights mate.

 

[dimebag87]

Supercropping is another good one but it to be frank it scares the shit out of me.

​bin there done that one, plants past light hight and going for the sky(if only the roof was not in the way lol) hhmm

lol softy, its easy, do get what your saying as it looks nasty to see your plant bent over like that but a day or two later and she is back looking good

ive prob got abit more than 6ft but even at 6 foot i thought that was large for a weed plant i know that sative dominant plant can get to extreme heights thats why i opted for indica dom,but saying that you can get weird phenos,i just want enough weed to last a so i can grow once a year,and i roughly smoke about 8oz maybe a little more a year,my next grow im going to grow in my loft as i have enough space for 100s of plants,but i was worried as i live on a flight path,and ive been watching to many cop programmes and thought they could see me with there heat camera,but ive since found out thats only if running like 5000w,plus i can run the heat through my chimney breast,thanks

 

[nothin but bud]

Is it worth my time to be triming off the lower parts of my plants with scraggly bits of bud on them or just leave as is and should i trim off a few of the fan leaves i been told yes but read on the web no.
Its only my second grow and the first one was to say an epic fail would be an understatement!

 

[dimebag87]

True but the first time I did it I snapped off bud so I wont be doing it again! haha.

well all i can say is im an hydro grower and ive had cutting at one week old from rooted clone shoot up over 5ft in less than 3weeks, i had to top and supercrop the feckers right up till the last week, that was vanilla kush, never again lol

You could be quite easily pulling more than 8 of a 600 dude.

i would of loved to do a big scrog but in laws eyes if they see a scrog setup with loads of plants they dont relise that they stay small and if you get caught with over 9 plants,then you can do a little holiday,and i couldnt take that risk as my sia licence would be taken,thanks for your reply.

its a man thing for sure, you just got to be gentle thats all, helps get better yields at times

Fuck the law mate. Unless you tell people, how will they find out. Plus technically speaking it's one plant just with a shitload on
