What are the details of the 4 cola topping method? Do you trim lower branches and fan leaves? when?

My last grow I started 5 feminized seeds in each of two 10 gal res (6 gal water). Under 400w hps. Good, air good nutes etc etc. All 10 sprouted and flourished so I kept them all going. I was very disappointed with the yield. The quality was awesome, but the yield poor. My first thought was they...

Forget the autos. You run lights at 24/7 for veg and then a one time switch to 12/12. Pretty simple. Try Northern Lights feminized seeds from Nirvana This is old and stable genetics. It is forgiving to mistakes, doesn't grow tall and has a decent yield.

Izoc, I'm curious - at what stage do you begin trimming lower leaves? Are you trimming just fan leaves or whole branches? Do you do this a little at a time as the plant grows, or all at once at some point. Mine are in hydro and this last grow I had 5 plants in 6 gal of water and didn't trim at...

Trichs don't lie, the hairs do. I've seen hairs on some strains that never turn orange. I also see hairs that turn orange when half the trichs are still clear.

Storing is curing. Put it in mason jars and keep them in temps 55-70 if possible.

I keep asking this question and it is never answered. I think the lack of an answer ought to tell you all you need to know about flushing. The question: "Where is the "stuff" that flushing supposedly removes flushed TO?" No-one can answer because roots cannot leech anything back into water (or...

As long as you pay the bill they don't care. A lot of things like a jacuzzi take equal amounts of power. What you might need to check is how much amperage you have on that circuit. You don't want to be blowing the circuit your lights are on when someone uses a hair dryer. I had an electrician...

You can't test anything until it is harvested, dried and properly cured for at least 30 days. Until then you don't have a finished product and your test is worthless. I never smoke any or even weigh it until the 30 day cure is complete. The pot gods smile upon patient growers.

Flush really means two things: 1) during the course of growing in hydro, flushing the entire system and then re-setting it with new nutes. Some do that several times during a grow, some do it weekly. 2) a final flush before harvest in which the plants are left in plain water. Some do this 2...

Exactly. But all the seed banks and books etc mean actual weeks of flowering when they say flowering. So if the breeder says 9 weeks of flowering, that means 10 weeks of 12/12.

I never understood why people bought tents to begin with. Why not just put your res in the room and hang the lights over it? Use a closet if you want reflectivity. If it's for security, I can't imagine taking someone I didn't want to know into the room with this tent with light streaming out of...

Three weeks instead of two weeks because anyone this novice is counting from when 12/12 was started, not actual weeks of flowering. Flushing is a myth until proven otherwise. Who wants to explain where all the stuff that is supposedly being flushed out, is being flushed TO?

I have the same size res and add 3% at 1/3 cup every other day. Do that and I don't think you'll need to spray.

I am skeptical that air will cause a problem with any nutrient. I think you should just try it. Better yet, switch to Humboldt Master A&B and forget all the problems.

I've gotten awesome quality with flouros, just not much quantity as was said. I also find that in the final 2 weeks, you really don't see much change in the size of buds and colas, but during this time they are developing internally and becoming more dense which means more weight.

My NL is indoors in hydro. I veg for 2 weeks and go to 12/12 with hps. I have grown dwarfs but the yield is so low it is hardly worth it. I've also tried strains like LSD and gotten plants 5 - 6 feet. The NL is a compromise on size, works well for my setup and I get good yields. I have a 15...

Why on earth did you flush and remove their food 3 or more weeks before harvest? That's 1/3 of their life. Very bad practice IMO

i use it the whole grow

that's how tall my northern lights get, if i'm sure not to let them stretch
