    Topping

    Very nice El Connoisseur! I have chemdawg nearly identical. 8 weeks veg under a scrog just over 1sqm. I kept bending till day 14. Only topped once. But supercropped 5 main branches. I believe the scrog is more about training and the topping is only to encourage more branching as the screen...

    Topping

    Yep i agree. This is also what some of the guys getting 3 pounds a light do. And will produce more branching.

    What's the longest time you can keep your res without topping off?

    Yes he shouldn't be in that position giving shit advice like that southernguy. And I do totally agree with you on everything you said but the homegrower like myself (And I presume yourself?) depend on a ppm meter to tell the total concentration of nutes in our res. That's where knowing your...

    What's the longest time you can keep your res without topping off?

    Depends Depends On the environment and any fluctuations that would cause more or less uptake from the plant/s I reckon. The same clone will take in more water to nute ratio in different stages of the flowering period also

    What's the longest time you can keep your res without topping off?

    And yep, he gave bad advice. If ppm is rising DO NOT add more nutes. It means the plant is drinking more water. Simply top res up and ppm will come down. Simple. If this goes on too long i personally would recommend a res change as their may be salts building up.

    What's the longest time you can keep your res without topping off?

    Ive used it on my tap water of 8.5 ph!! Drops ph to 5.7 - 5.8 every time even at quarter strength. I no longer use a ph meter. And have left it in a larger res for over 2 weeks with no deficiencies. (In veg) my understanding is that ph perfect is chelated so even when ph eventually drifts DO NOT...

    why is this happening

    Are your airstones right at the bottom of the res with PLENTY of fine bubbles? I find doing this helps prevent settling of nutes. And I require less often res changes.

    600w hps 4 strain grow issues, need help please!

    LOWER yellowing leaves dropping off is usually lack of nitrogen. Do most of the leaves on the plant look light green? If so I'd say nitrogen deficiency. But be careful in flower as just a little bit too much nitrogen can stunt bud development. (Just saw above photos lol) yep they look hungry...

    high yielding strains. What's your pick?

    Would nirvana have a strain already crossed with the old ice? Like possibly iced grapefruit? May still be able to track down the old ice from nirvana through something they crossed it with and grow a bunch of those seeds and look for the most ice dominant pheno maybe??

    Sharing is Caring...first time grow: LED, soil, feminized Northern Lights

    Good stuff doogledore!! Wise move starting a grow journal for your 1st grow! You should have a few experienced eyes watching over you throughout your grow. Just curious as to why you put the seeds in water and didnt wait to see a tap root? Was it just to give it a kick start to germing in soil?

    high yielding strains. What's your pick?

    Yeah I heard alot of people having big yields with nirvanas ICE strain 3 or 4 years back. I wanted to grow big bud just to see what i could get under a scrog at the time. Off memory it was about 18 ozs? (Over a pound) Under a 600w hps. In just over a square metre. (Dosing co2) and I know...
