    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    cool, I'm going to mylar by two walls and have the panels on my living room floor with some 2x3's that I will use to make a stand... Do you blow a fan directly on your plants? If so, do the walls get in the way? I was reading something and it seemed like you paint your floor white...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    UB, I'm building some reflective panels. I read that you use two movable and two that don't move. Why not four movable? Which ones don't move? I was thinking you could have the plants in a corner and the two room walls didn't move, but I'm not sure, could you explain a little further?

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Guest999, I would let it get many more nodes before topping. This is kind of what makes this system different to my style. I mean I used to top right away. After reading here I am thinking the plant will probably do better if you let it get big roots then top it. You'll be cutting a more...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    This thread has changed some of my long held 'conclusions'. I try to stay away from beliefs, but your posts have made me see that I simply have believed things because I had read them so many times... I no doubt everything I know a bit more! I think this may be a dumb question, so feel...

    Aquaponics Fail Grow Not enough Fish Poop for good Yield.

    two nights ago I just bought five gold fish myself... I plan to set up a 50 gal aquarium to use as my main water res. I wont depend on the fish, but just use the tank as a water storage so I always have good water. What do you feed the fish? I raise black soldier flies and the larvae are...

    Human 'waste'

    yes you can actually, isn't that what you are asking? Look into septic tank starter bacteria Read about Black Soldier Fly larva. You wont give your self hep C. Read about the Hunza people, they are isolated and live off the land. They don't seem to get sick too badly. Actually, many...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    IF I was back in veg would it have been best to chop top it above the second node? I like to veg for like 8 weeks. If I want to veg 8 weeks should I let it get 6 - 8 nodes then top and let it veg or should I let it veg then top a week before flower? what do you consider a 'long' veg time?

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    I was just given a mom that is about three feed wide and four feet tall. It was giving lots of small clones and has tons of potential colas. I pruned off some of smaller branches but it still has man many colas. I put it on 12/12 two days ago. Should I just leave it or do a topping on it...

    I've been using 5 gallon smart-pots and was thinking it may be a better use of my soil to try putting 3 plants in a fifteen gallon smart-pot. Sub, have you ever used larger pots for more plants? I'm looking at some large pots that are much wider that high, and am thinking about making them...

    Does this mean the plant will have three colas when it is done?

    I've read that earth worms and black soldier fly larvae (probably many other decomposer) can destroy pathogens in their gut. I don't have a reference, but I saw a study that showed earth worms alone breaking down pathogens. Black Soldier Fly larvae break down meat and manure really well.
