    Extreme Defoliation...

    If it makes you happy, believe anything you like. Even you know it's a good idea to lollipop tall plants, that's the only point I was making about your plants.

    Extreme Defoliation...

    The point is, the canopy will use all the light on available bud sites and new growth, but there is A tipping point, where they're not enough light, airflow, and food for the lower canopy(buds) so they will grow more fluffy. You have the balance about right for your strain. My point is it's...

    How many years to go?

    I had Purple Punch going for the last 6 months, the last crop I have 2 Purple Punch and 4 other plants, the Purple Punch was extremely dense frosty nugs but the plants grow very bushy and only grow small cherry size buds, the crop size was good but it's a nightmare to train and harvest because...

    Extreme Defoliation...

    how much light was the canopy letting through 25%-75%? Fan leaves absorb light, I can't see how much light was getting to the low bud sites, the plants looks healthy (green stem) so it redirected some food from the canopy down to the lower bud sites.

    Extreme Defoliation...

    looking at your plants, Yes! @bk78 plants might be 6ft high, but he has some good thick 12-18" cola's on the top. Have you got a cheap lux meter or downloaded the app on your phone, hold the phone/lux meter 12" under a thick canopy or 3-4 sets of fan leaves, the lux will drop really low...

    Extreme Defoliation...

    Have you looked into main-line, SCROG, or SOG? These are all short wide bushy plants with donkey dick colas under 4ft high because LEDs will not penetrate the canopy more than 3ft, so there is no point in having a 6ft plant, you would end up lolloping the lower 3ft. This is a good example I...

    Extreme Defoliation...

    IMO this is proof defoliation has worked on this scrog if anything I would say is the canopy is too bushy and it could have been thinned out more. The plants filled the screen really well and the canopy is full of buds, the plants look very healthy, always good to see short bushy plants, no...

    Move into a new house(rented) want to grow in a shed, living in the UK.

    Thanks, I am planning on growing all year round, if you flower your plants under LEDs and insulate the flower room/shed really well, temperatures should be good if you run the lights at night. I live in the southeast of the UK and it gets very hot mid-summer(30c) but the roof is insulated with...

    Move into a new house(rented) want to grow in a shed, living in the UK.

    Just wondering if I get caught growing less than 10 plants in a shed(paying the electric), what's the most likely outcome? Would I be kicked out, or just given a warning(landlord), anyone renting that has been caught, what happened? Don't think the police care if the plant count is very low,(I...

    how many plants with 5x5 tent 2 hps 600w

    It's hard to look back at a 4ft2 room and compare it to a 5ft2 room. 4ft x 4ft = 16ft2 9 plants would have to grow 1.3ft wide 5ft x 5ft = 25ft2 its over 50% larger 4 plants in a 5ft2 need to grow 2.5ft wide 9 plants would have to grow 1.6ft wide.

    how many plants with 5x5 tent 2 hps 600w

    7x7= 49ft2 1200w / 49 = 24.4watts/ft2 I didn't know a 600w hps was that effective, why use LEDS? I thought 40-50 watts/ft2 was about right for a 600w hps.

    Will these grow in length?

    I agree if the led has an even light spread over the whole canopy 750-1000 and if you're growing a large yielding strain, have lots of experience, you could hit 1.5 grams per watt.

    Will these grow in length?

    I still think you're going to pull 4-6 oz's.(IMO this is not a bad result in a 3ft x 3ft) Your light is designed for a 4ft x 2ft flower room, your flower room is 3ft x 3ft, its difficult, dim the light and it's not cover the 2ft depth, on full light, the ends are going to get the all reflective...

    Anyone had a plant with very noticeable circadian rhythm?

    Always seem to get gnats, you want 2" of sharp sand on top of the soil, I used to buy large plastic pots and drill holes in the bottom, fill the bottom of the pots with 1" of sharp sand, thin the canopy out early flower, lollipop the plants so the sand dry's out quickly after watering. keep...

    Anyone had a plant with very noticeable circadian rhythm?

    You can grow very healthy plants with a basic soil mix, 10% sand, and add a few dry nutes into the soil, very cheap, low effect. pot size is really important, you could use a 40ltr pot and grow the plant 2ft wide, 2ft high, you really need a large root mass to pull this off. just added pics

    mark's perpetual grow

    The final weight was a little lower than thought (1015g) I have 40g of trim and 2g of crystals in a small box with a lid, so overall a good result.

    Watering night before harvest

    OK my flower room is not perfect for drying weed, for the first 2 days the temps where 20c and the humidity was between 40-50% Then the temperature dropped a few degrees. I had removed all the fan leaves and trimmed up most the buds on the Sunday. The soil was dry so I chopped the main stem and...

    Watering night before harvest

    I chop the plants and leave them in the plant support for 3-4 days, chop, trim, and get a rough idea of the weight you will lose (3-5%) lay them in trays for 2 days and then place the trays in bags and back out every 12 hours, this helps the buds to dry even It will always take 6 days+ to dry...
