    Lighting spiral of doubt

    Hi RIU! So, I have a hard time understanding how light REALLY works when growing cannabis. I already have some basic understanding about PPF, PPFD, spectrum, PAR output and all these things, problem is when trying to find the proper sized light for a given space. Some people think in terms of...

    Topping and veg time

    Hello to everyone on RIU! I am 2 weeks away from finishing this run and I am already planning the next. As I am not a very experienced grower, I want to try and experiment with different growing techniques till I find one that suits me well. For my next run I was thinking about trying a...

    Too short and too bushy

    Also, even if you go 12-12 from seed, the plant won't start flowering before week 3-4. These ones I'm growing now started in day 27.

    Too short and too bushy

    I've seen people on this forum, growing 12-12 from seed for solo cup contests yielding a bit under 1.5 oz dry. But they are very experienced growers...

    Too short and too bushy

    It's not a clone, it's from seed, on a 12-12 light schedule from start.

    Too short and too bushy

    Thank you, I really appreciate everyone's effort on this thread, even if there were a bit of contradictory opinions, no hard feelings, I hope. And yes guys, I already know the science of blue light for veg, red for flower, yada-yada-yada. I've been growing plants under both blue and red...

    Too short and too bushy

    M Yea, I understand this, but it's not what I'm dealing with. Don't want to show off, but the LEDs that I am using are considered one of the best at the moment. It's a genuine QB made by HLG themselves, no wonky spectrum for sure...

    Too short and too bushy

    Thanks for your time! What apically more dominant strains would you suggest? I've been told that Indica dominant are more suited, and Northern Lights are the gold standard for SOG.

    Too short and too bushy

    Yeah, kinda knew that already, but I guess I was too lazy to grow one normal plant for clones, and tried to find a shortcut. Besides, you need 2 separate grow rooms for that, one for the mother plant, one for the clones, which I don't have. You can't just wait for the mother plant to finish...

    Too short and too bushy

    Like I said, I am testing the SOG method, trying to pull the best yield in the shortest amount of time, or at least I think, it's my first attempt of this. Anyway, too late to veg now, they already started to flower. Thanks for your appreciation!

    DAMN! Really? Didn't know that. That's very interesting if true. I wonder why's that for LEDs...

    Too short and too bushy

    Hello RIU! So, I am currently growing 2 OG KUSH plants in 2 liter pots. The reason for this is that I am experimenting to see how it would be like to grow many plants like these in a SOG. I have to mention that these 2 plants were grown 12-12 from SEED, currently in day 30, and they started...

    SOG to veg or not to veg

    When doing a SOG, do you still need to veg for 1 or 2 weeks (or 4, or whatever it is), or can you grow 12-12 from seed? What's the right way of doing it? I've heard both opinions, but I want to know what works better...

    Cannabis light saturation

    Hello everyone on RIU Been reading some articles about growing this beautiful form of life that we all love so much, trying to become better at it, and I came across this : <<The data from Chandra et al. confirm that the optimal intensity of light for peak cannabis photosynthesis is between...

    Thank you very much, this one was helpful, good to know. From your experience, what strains worked the best?

    Training methods, or any particular preferences? A scrog maybe? How would you do it, more specific..

    2by2 top yield

    I like this idea, sounds good in theory, but have you ever tried it yourself or know someone who managed to grow this way? Would 2 liter pots really work? What about root bound and stunted growth? Also, 16 pots? Not really sure I can fit this many pots in a 2by2, but I'll try and see, have...

    2by2 top yield

    Been doing some research and came across SOG. Would 9 plants in 1gal pots work well? 2-3 weeks veg, would I pull 30 grams/plant? Any other better and more efficient method you guys can think of to maximize this space? Could I get the same or even more out of one well grown plant with a scrog...
