Have to agree with aimaim. I started to defoliate based off of a ton of reading I was doing, since then I have definitely given it up. Soooo many reasons why. First off, the leaves not only tell you the status/health of your plant, but they are the "cushion" in case case things go wrong...

Haven't seen you in a while! Interesting-- I've heard THC is produced at night (or in the dark) and that that's why a lot of times there will be really frosty buds in shaded parts of the plant. I'm sure this thread stems from the same school of thought. As for my experience I've got an...

Flush the soil really well. Piss has ammonia in it, a usable form of nitrogen for the plant. Its just way too concentrated to do anything but hurt the plant, but if you rinse it out/dilute it down the soil will be fine. Unless there's mold or something growing in it. I let my cats piss in...

I'm gonna have to stand up for ol' Rik on this one and say that his plants are the shit. Rik knows wtf is up when it comes to growing ganja, he gave me some great tips on my second grow for what og's (in particular) like and what they need when they're growing. Not only that, but he's also had...

I veg under t5's and then switch to a 1000w HP's, and was having this problem every time I went into flower. Someone told me it was BC plants have pH swings when they start to fruit/flower, and that it causes lockout and resemble a deficiency. But for me that wasn't the problem. I raised my...

Man if that's a 600 watt then you should do pretty good off of those 4 plants. With mine it always winds up being more than I guessed, but I always try and have a conservative guess so that I can plan accordingly. This time i was really focusing on increasing my yield; I had 1 pound and 4...

It's so hard to judge these things, even just looking at it, there's no way of telling how dense or loose/fluffy the buds are, how much water weight they have. Sometimes a bud the size of a golf ball only weigh a gram. What size was your light? How many watts? I'm thinking probably 6-8...

The milk crates a good idea; I put like a 2inch layer of perlite on the bottom before I add my soil. Helps pull excess moisture to the bottom and helps them breath better. Those air pots look cool, I thought about trying them bit then I got the smart pots and honestly I'm not sure how the...

Yeah, the root formation for smart pots is AMAZING. Not to mention, growth depend on co2 at the leaf and oxygen at the root. Plus the whole"root pruning" thing helps out too. I switched to smart pots half way through my first grow and haven't looked back since.

Nice, yeah you should definitely come up with a nice gram per watt ratio. My first run was .56 but I'm hoping to more than double that with my second big harvest. Although technically, there was one plant in the middle that vegged mostly with the first run but it finished by itself so I don't...

Is anyone spreading this dude any rep? Great job man, + rep for your first grow doing so well. How many plants are you running under the 1200 watts?

Noooooooooo!!!! Take it from a guy who tried defoliating (that'd what they call it, use the search function and "defoliation" and you'll see tons of threads about it. The leaves hold sugars and starches, and that's where all the flavor comes from, and the energy for growth of the plant. Don't...

That's awesome you have a buddy who's running those strains that you can clone from. Hell, I wouldn't have anywhere near as big of a crop if my cousin hadn't managed to clone his white lavender for me. Now he's kind of pissed he did it tho bc mine turned out soooo much better than his lol...

Way to go dude, im gonna throw you some rep for your efforts. Those flouros will be much better for veg, they'll help you get nice growth with tighter node spacing. I'm currently growing out some blue dream too, and so far it's a great plant. Mine are about a week into flower and just started...

Hey, fwiw I had this before, its definitely a mold problem caused by too much moisture in the air/soil and probably also low tempatures for an extended period of time. But yeah, mine had it and it didn't cause any problems. I went to Lowe's and bought a spray bottle fungicide that was organic...

Just a piece of advice: dolomite lime is non-water soluble, and thus isn't readily available to the plant. If you are going to Foliar feed you ought to go with something water soluble like calcium nitrate, which will also give it nitrogen. If you're in flower a little nitrogen won't hurt but...

Yeah I've heard great things about the canna coco line. I was really wanting to go coco with my clones for the next run Bc I see people having such great results, but I'll probably just go with soil + perlite one more time to keep things easy, since I'm used to that. I haven't had enough time...

I've used gh's koolbloom, but now I'm using hydroplex (botanicare) and it is the shit. It has tons of micros too, molybdenum and boron and stuff. Also tons of magnesium in it. But honestly, nutrients will definitely help weight (especially the right ones) but I think factors like air...

I'm not sure man; I would think probably only online bc I don't EVER see/hear about people using it on here. It's got all kinds of good things-- silica blast, vitamino (amino acid and some micros; the hydeoplex also has molybdenum, boron-- it literally has everything the plant needs, and then...

J, you would probably like botanicares KIND line, it has everything broken down really well- calcium in the "base" (3 part nute system, plus the supplements) and magnesium in the bloom and in the hydroplex (its their "bulking" nute), so you are bumping up magnesium every time you bump up bloom...
