Chlorine and chloramine really isn't a big deal. If it's toxic for you, then it's toxic for the plants so why waste extra time for something that doesn't really affect anything.
My pH is around 7.8-8.0 on the tap and ppm is around 230-270 and I just go with it and add the nutrients until it's...
Well I have 2x110watt led lights in a 18 x 36 and temps are around 78 and ambient is around 70. I think my electricity bill is $20-25 more with my exhaust fan and 2 lights in Los Angeles during 18 hour veg.
They're kind of tall but I rolled down the sleeve around 10 inches and compensated by using a higher ratio of perlite so it doesn't wick up so fast. I think total it's like 28 inches or so if you use it correctly.
I have a really short tent 60 inches, so I couldn't allow a 28 inch planter.
Does anyone remove all side branches during flower? I'm experimenting and doing that on one plant and keeping the other all natural aside from defoliating bottom 1/3
@petrovich
There's veg plus bloom which is for the whole entire grow time. I really don't think an absence of nitrogen is necessary as a lot of this "bro science" tends to be bequeathed and is carried on. I'd just get a hydro blend of fertilizer and that'll ensure all the nutrients accounting...
I just use a famur tf1200 it's around $80-100 depending on sales and people have been getting around 110-120 grams on a 110 watt light is what I've read on reviews. (Good for 1 plant).
An 1/8 is only 3.5 grams so you can do the math. If you just get 1/8 or 1/4 it's not really worth your time.
I...
Meh my water is bad too. My ppm is 250 normally with a pH of 7.8-7.9. it's probably mostly calcium which is good for the plants and I have chloramine which doesn't evaporate from standing water. I just pH it accordingly and aim on the higher side of the ppm per stage of veg/flower and it's...
So I didn't tied my own trellis net it's just the usual 6 inch ones by vivosun and attached with some zip ties.
I don't know what the parent company is called but if you Google veg + bloom it's the first one up there and it'll take your plants all the way through. You just have to adjust the...
So I'm very similar!! Mine draw around 105-110 watts ish ( I have two of them) and I try to save on my electricity bill. I don't even run a fan inside my tent as it would consume around 30 watts. I have my 6 inch outlet fan running at 50% power which draws 25 watts total and is able to move...
Well I use around 3 gallons of soil (only half filled my octopot) but it has a large 6 gallon water resivoir that I filled up with nutrients similar to hydroponics so the roots are all down there.
I was just reading that with people with plants of my size 2 feet so far during 2nd week of flower...
Ohh I see what you mean. I thought you harvested the top colas and we're banking on the smaller popcorn ones to grow.
I'm only leaving 6-8 colas and I'm chopping the extra leaves and branches and I think this should work well.
Random question. Should we be defoliating the small leaves near the bottle during flower since it's wasting energy to make big leaves? I defoliated the bottom 1/3 prior to flower however there's a bunch of leaves forming at the defoliated spots and I doubt they're receiving much light
Well I think my feminized seeds were $15 each and non feminized was like $9 ish? But if the tests are $15 then not only are you wasting space, but time, soil and potential for pollen spread.
Also I don't see any pollen sacs on your photos.
Umm they're about week 11-12 ish before I switched since I had slow growth due to pH problems then under and over watering. I think it'll be good though! Hoping for crazy purple buds.
So I knew my tent is short, 5 feet tall, and I moved the fan vent on the outside and also have rigged the lights to get within a few inches on the top. I didn't anticipate using an octopot which is pretty tall, but I got an indica strain which are short and squat.
Not sure how tall they'll...
