    Havent seen that chart before! Interesting corey! So i figure by that, too much calcium or/and potassium can cause magnesium lockout??

    plant keeps snapping small branches

    I cant remember why rhino skin got rated the best? I think it was easier for the plant to uptake? Im not sure about the self buffer? I use it with ph perfect and have had no lockout from it, but that may be the ph perfect itself? I have been told to put the silica in water and let it stabilise...

    plant keeps snapping small branches

    Rhino skin from advanced nutrients (which i use) is supposed to be the best and yes it is potassium silicate, my understanding is the plant wont take up silicon by itself but in potassium silicate form the plant thinks its uptaking potassium and when absorbed the silica will bind to the plants...

    Humble reply. Thank you thundercat. Yes not overly impressive but were doing good enough i think haha. I suppose i was just trying to say its not all bad to do it this way. Im happy with how it works for me with my set up. Next thing ill be doing is upgrading my make do netting i think haha...

    plant keeps snapping small branches

    The whole point to a scrog is to expose as many nodes/colas to light and create an even canopy. Matching verical growth to light wattage/penetration. It doesnt matter how you do it thundercat. The end result is the same! Saying NOT to put a big plant under a scrog at flip is very misleading. Im...

    plant keeps snapping small branches

    Dont mean to sound like a dick thundercat but 2 days after flip. Its a make do scrog. But still a scrog none the less. And yes your right. My advice to OP is get some silica. Itl really help with stem strength!! Will take a couple of days before you really notice the extra stem strength from my...

    plant keeps snapping small branches

    I know what you mean thundercat and get frustrated too when i see people put up a sgrog but dont use it to create a horizontal, even canopy. Its all about being patient and gently bendinding to spread the plant out and during stretch carry on with horizontal training. The one ive shown has now...

    Veg time was a little longer on these two but yielded just over 2 pounds under 2 600w hps. Nothin wrong with bending a big plant under a scrog at start of flowering callies!

    I use rhino skin at 2mls per litre. It can throw your ph out aparrently. So add it first before adding other nutes and ph'ing. I use ph perfect so dont have to worry about that side of things. Silica will strengthen cell walls making stems/stalks stronger and only takes a 2 or 3 days to notice...

    Very interesting x indeed mofo! I have a lemon skunk x og (lemon og or presidential kush i believe?) And it requires heavy amounts of cal mag like no other ive grown! Maybe its the og kush that requires extra magnesium?? I am also led to believe that too much calcium can cause magnesium lockout...

    She surely is ae86GROWER! I just harvested her mother. Stickiest scissor hash ive ever had to deal with!! But what a strain! Just under 17 ozs from 1 plant under a 600w hps. The smell has got to be the most pungent ive grown! Not often you get yield and quality!!

    Have a look at the leaf below, you can see the lighter color between the dark veins. Definitely a magnesium deficieny in there. Could need cal mag!? Could foliar spray with epsom salt and water mixture as a bit of a kickstart to adding cal/mag to your res??

    LST with smart/fabric pots?

    You can tie branches to base of main stem! Just not too tight as stem can thicken quickly. I do this alot. Works good!!
