The problem with distilled water is that it has nothing. No minerals at all. So you have to ensure you add everything. If you feed a house plant straight distilled water it will eventually die. Same for a ganja plant...
I don't feed until my plants are 4 to 6 inches tall at minimum. New growers especially use too much fert way to soon. I'd say it's one of the most common problems. Back off the fert and I bet it recovers.
Two ideas. Run your 5.5 feed water through an empty tray and check run off. Do it just like there was plants in it. But empty, no cubes. Next run your 5.5 feed through a block without using the system. Make sure you do exactly what you did to prep the block like before, soaking etc. This will...
Easiest thing to check, check first. Is your Ph pen reading right? Get or borrow another pen or test kit and test side by side. I've had a problem like this before and it's process of elimination. I'll keep an eye on this thread and keep throwing questions at you. It would be very strange for...
Here you go... This plant is at 7 weeks. Snapped that Cola at week 5. The wire ties both prevent it dropping too far after snapping then holds them down after because they will attempt to straighten right back up.
I would not transplant until the foliage is two times bigger then the pots. This ensures you have a nice healthy root mass. Have patience my friend. You got them his far, don't go messing with them now.
You can bend over snapping but not removing the Colas at any point. I use wire ties that are covered in soft rubber to support them. My lights go on in a half hour and will post some pics of the results. It works great to get a uniform canopy. You do have to be slow and gentle or you can snap...
I have 1 175 watt hps complimented by a 125 watt cfl and 4 26 watt cfl that I move around as needed. Basically I have about 360 Watts of light. I get at minimum 1 once a plant. Some up to 2. So the way I calculate grams per watt is if I harvested all 6 at once I should get 360 grams if I got a...
I live in a state where I can have 12 plants. I flower 6 and veg six. Bigger plants. But I stagger everything. So I always have 2 plants in late flower. So I harvest 2 plants about every 3 weeks. That way I am never way over legal limits.
Seriously I have done lots at once. I never counted I just take off whatever needs to come off. The plants seal off the cuts quickly. You feel like you're killing it... ;) but then in a week you look at the plant and it's super filled out again. But just in the parts you left. My journal shows...
I have done a lot at once before. Like massacred the poor things. BUT... I come from the school of lolly popping. I've never had a problem. In fact I'd rather get the shock over all at once then stretch it out doing a little at a time. I would have taken a lot of those branches off in veg too. I...
In the commercial grow I work for we remove pretty much every small bud from about 18 inches down 2 weeks into flower. Those bud are a net negative for the plant. We grow a SoG but with huge plants with all of the tops at about the same height. The lower stuff gets no light. All that energy is...
