    Is my baby foxtailing and how long till harvest

    I've only had foxtailing with too much LIGHT, not heat. Over 1000PPFD, can and will sometimes cause it. Even if LST's are under 25C.

    Help with ID twisted new growth

    If you're using heavy amended/enriched soil, its probably just a little nutrient twist. It will grow out of it in the next couple weeks when the nutrient levels in the soil become a little more depleted.

    Hay smell on bud

    My plants never smell until I trim and jar them. Trichomes only emit heavy smell when handled/squeezed. My plants hanging always have a light hay odor. Up until trimming time, my plants are handled VERY gently. Now, when I go to trim jail for 30 hours in one week, my whole house smells...

    Do you need all the nutrients?

    These plants all see only liquid fish emulsion fertilizer, and 20 ML/week during flower of TPS bloom nutes. I’ve tried all of them. They all will get you to the same end game. I now only use these two products exclusively. In 2 gallon pots, with 300W.

    When to start giving nutes

    I run autos in 2-3 gallon pots with FFOF. I plant the seed in the middle within a baseball size batch of seedling starting mix in the middle. I don't need to add ANY nutrients until at least week 4-5. Most autos will almost run to end stage in a 5 gallon pot with heavily enriched/amended soils.

    Should I leave them alone or do a heavy defoliation

    Exactly. I don't defoliate more than 10% until the plant nears end stage. After that, if a leaf is still more than 50% green, it stays.

    I’m using an 11.

    Calibrating LED dimmer function

    Because it’s been compared against the Apogee a few times by users. It’s also within 2% of my other branded PPFD meter, which has also been compared to lab meters.

    Weird strain. Completely different.

    Check this girl out. Seed was from the same 20 seed lot. Bubble Kush Auto. Obviously it’s completely different from the surrounding girls, and the last 5 I grew from the same lot. Any ideas? She looks so much different than any other plant I’ve grown over the past 4 years indoors…..

    Calibrating LED dimmer function

    That’s the problem with Android. My Photone app on the IPhone is accurate to within 3% of a an Apogee meter.

    Help! Anyone know what the problem is

    PPFD is actual active light photons. Lumens is what’s perceived by humans, but can be used on plants. With lumens, there can be more or less photons at the same lumen measurement based on the type of light used/spectrum etc. So it can be very vague.

    LED light wattage question

    I pulled 588g dried out of my 4X4 with 385W (75% power) last grow. 4 plants.

    Calibrating LED dimmer function

    Dimmer level is power level. Usually accurate within 5% or better. A PPFD measuring device is a must IMO. I use the Photone app, and this one. Both actually are within 3% of each other.

    What’s your PPFD?

    HID vs LED, electricity usage, who's better?

    Yep. The 10+ year old figure of watts per sq/ft doesn’t mean much these days. Obviously with most current LED diodes, you still need at least some power to light up a specific space with photons, but these newer 301B/H diodes and their equivalents are putting out 850-950PPFD with as little as...

    Buds not curing propelry

    Only 2 days drying? It wasn’t even remotely dried enough. Bet that bud was still pushing 25-35% MC. Even my small buds take no less than 5-6 days.

    They say you can't do organic in small pots?

    LOL. Nothing but ArgoThrive Organic. 20-25ML per gallon during every watering. 50/50 drilled well/Lake water. 385W @ 750-840PPFD. Those are Bubble Kush Autos from RQS. I’ll probably get an honest 11-13oz dried out of them. Here’s a pic I just took. They are 65 days from sprout. They...

    These are all in organic only. 2 gallon pots.

    Defoliation

    I used to defoliate 40-60% of foliage on my plants. After a few years of growing, I found my plants maintaining better health, while a much more noticeable increase in bud quality AND yields when defoliating LESS. I now try to keep defoliation between 10-20%. Removing perfectly healthy...

    Poor co2

    Yeah. I’m aware of CO2 standards and levels. Not sure what Covid has to do with it though. That card was already played. My winter humidity is far from high here in the north. I need operate humidifiers from mid Dec to April. We have FHA heating.
