    Why does this happen.

    I'm thinking its more about the airflow in the root zone, and maybe I'm just over watering them too early bogging them down, the good ones just go, but anything that's not booming goes bust, to watch them just instantly take off outside makes me think air, I'm wondering if indoors there is...

    Why does this happen.

    This has plagued me for years and I've never been able to work out exactly why it happens. Plants in coco smart pots, start off fine and then they will sit down and slow transpiration, so then you start to slow irrigation so they do not stay wet for too long, this goes on for a while, they get...

    They do not repair in flower, the more they struggle the faster they want to finish and will sacrifice every bit of plant material to feed the flowers, any problem can be repaired and grown out while in grow but in flower they wont fix anything. Just get them out and and start again hopefully...

    How much will I most likely get?

    Ive been following crop steering methods and have run these at 2.4 EC pretty much since they were cuttings and 3 EC in Flower, the trick to high EC is how they are irrigated, by running high EC and giving frequent short irrigation they have not shown any nutrient burn at all and I get very...

    Taking clones from a clone reoccurring

    Yes you can make a clone sick or not thrive but the genetics will not change if you bring it back to health and take a cutting its good again.

    Nutrient Uptake

    Plants never use all the nutes at the same rate they demand different salts at different times and the balance of the whole is always changing, if you found a nutrient where it would be used evenly all the time, it would be the best nutrient in the world by far

    Mesh to prevent bugs from duct/exhaust

    Will only work with hyper fans, I have a 250 in and a 150 + 250 out, the fans seem to work well in going up and down when controlling temps, the inlet slows way down smoothly with no humming the outlet always has a bit of revs on it to keep negative pressure, they do a good job Im happy so far...
