2nd grow? Nicely done! My second grow was actually my first indoor grow and all I had was an unfinished walk-in closet, an ez bake oven known as a 250 watt HPS, and a single Northern Lights seed that my buddy smuggle back from the Netherlands. of course we didn't have internet grow forums in...
good attitude to have! keep at and you'll be fine! I've been growing for a long time and I'm still learning all the time. As for the chop, if you can keep the dying leaves from dying up into the buds you can let them go a bit, but once I see any necrotic leaf matter getting to close to being...
I've soften on my stance over the years. did a 3 tent test with clones 5 or 6 years ago. clones, same lights, same kind of tents, feed, etc. each plant was a step further in terms of defol. 1 was pretty much untouched outside of topping. 2 was what I would consider a moderate defol with...
nice! my only experience with having 2 cannabis plants that close together is soil is the few times that I've had a seed twin in me. 1 seed, 2 sprouts. Had it happen maybe a half dozen times over the years, but one of the two always ends up dominant and basically smothers the smaller twin. so...
do you think that you are going to post updates about this grow in here? I'd love to see how you are doing it. might not be my way, but I like seeing things I haven't done before. I do remember seeing a guy that trained the stems of two plants to spiral around each other as they grew. I...
Do you usually separate them as they get bigger or no? I know lots of folks that grow multiple plants in soil beds so it isn't necessarily bad to have roots from multiple plants in the same soil, but I would think you'd want more room. do all the plants remain healthy throughout? curious and...
I am a bit of a cheapskate so I just bought a higher end Lumen meter and use HLGs LUX to PPFD conversion calculator. it has worked very well for me and saved me like 400 bucks.
I like painters tape for stem splits. I actually was clued in to it rather recently by someone on these forums as an alternative to duct tape. I wish I could remember who so I could shout them out, but my old man stoner memory is failing me at the moment.
if you choose an LED with high quality, high efficiency diodes like the Samsung 301 series, you want to aim for around 35 watts per square foot of canopy. So a 3x3 gives you 9 square feet. 9x35 gives you 315 watts. once you know what power range you should be in it is just about choosing the...
it leaves me laughing at your continued refusal to recognize your arrogant and condescending behavior. You seem intelligent, I have every reason to believe you are probably a great grower as well, but don't sit here and act like your the weed Saint of benevolence when you've been insulting...
I am a generous, helpful and patient forum member. I take an hour or two out of my day when I can to help new comers, suggest fixes when I think i see a problem, recommend new methods to people who are having problems and give thanks and encouragement to people who are doing well. you don't...
Because this topic has been beat to fucking death on these forums and nobody listens or cares anymore. Even when people acknowledge that perhaps they have a preference because of the type and scale of their grow, it is done with snark and arrogance. want to mention your plant count again?
I am uncertain what you think you just said or how it has anything to do with my statement. I have been growing plants (not just cannabis, mind you) since the late 1980s. I am familiar with and have used most forms of plant training on numerous and various plant species. I know the intention and...
