oooo tip for changing res. I used to use a pump to empty it. wet dry shop vac! gets it done 10 times faster and it totally empties it, the pump would leave 1/4 inch-1/2 inch left on the bottom

 

[BigMBigBuds27]

Next questions.

Co2 bag. Remove during 6 hour peroid of rest?

When do i start super cropping (roughly)

In your opinion is starting every fresh reservoir change at a PH of 5.5 to let it swing up to 6.2 so all nutes are received?

Tomorrow ill be changing from 2 rubbermaids to 1 giant one so i only have to worrie about 1 reservoir. Again i cant thank you all enough and will take all suggestions.

Yes, remove CO2 at night. Cannabis is a C3 plant and does not uptake CO2 without light. Supercrop whenever you feel like.

Why remove the bag? Its not going to stop producing co2 just because you take it out of the area all that is is more work granted not much work and it dosnt hurt if anything thats more co2 when the lights come on

If that's the case, then yeah, just leave it. I was figuring it would be wasted (since its not a sealed space), but if its gonna produce gas anyway... I was assuming it could be "turned off" so to speak.

Ya the co2 bags are just Mycelium fungis one popular brand is exhale.

Kk questiom attached pic is the one of my big bastard. The massaive bottom leaves dont have any nodes on them so should i remove them or wait?

 

[Dynamo626]

It takes a while for growing nodes to appear.topping speeds that up. personaly i dont like any leaves low enough to touch the media.

Should i worriw about foliar feeding with a DWC if so im worried about mixture as my nutrient bottles dont state small mixture just large.

 

[Dynamo626]

Optional some do some dont. I do. Usually lol been lazy and havent mixed any in a few weeks. I use dyna-grow neem oil and pro-tekt

 

[FWHdope1!]

deleafing is fine but dont over do it, and dont wait untill the second week of flower and do it all at once. I pull a few leaves almost every watering i only pull canopy leaves if it is blocking a top from direct light. Usually i take them from the bottom.
Just started a new journal if you want to check it out

I agree!! Every time I water I cut back some of the largest leaves to allow more light into the middle and onto the new sprouts. It's working extremely well and I have some amazingly beautiful and happy ladies bc if it.

So confused i read that its bad remove any leaves as there is sugar and other molecules that the plant loves. They say remove when dead or close to. Ive attached a pic any suggestion on these big bastard leaves. Please see attached photos. Pic 1 and 2 are same plant then 3 and 4 are second. Last is both togther.

 

[Dynamo626]

Im confused also. The texture of the leaf tells me over water but your in dwc so that shouldnt be the case. Besides that leave the fan leaves if they arnt covering a top.

 

[Dynamo626]

Think of it like this. Are you going to lollypop? Chances are that you are. Instead of doing it all at once just take a couple leaves a week off the bottom. Dont take them faster than they are growing. So if your plants stall dont take any. Mine have like 12 tops atm when i take 3to 6 per week its putting on guessing 24 to 48 new ones. Remember in nature no pot plant makes it through veg withought getting eaten on. Its the lowest leaves that are the first to go

Should i be concerned?

 

[NrthrnMichigan]

What type air pump are you using and how much air is it putting out? Seems when I first started out I used a weak pump and was having similar results as you. I upgraded air flow and have had praying plants ever since.

 

[BigMBigBuds27]

See my buddy who was helping me has disappeared off the face of the earth. So im freaking out cause i have no idea what im doing.

Room is 21 cel. And 55% RH
My PH went from 5.5 to 6.1 in 3 days so i have a good swing. But now i may see some yellow coming onto one of the leaves pics will.come tonight

Could be lack of air pumped into rez.

I have 2 air stones in each bin. They are hooked to a air pump that's meant to do alot more then 4 stones. Could it be to much?
