The basis here is to have 4 branches with smaller sub branches growing off of it. These 4 branches growing off of your stalk will be known as your main branches. Any branch growing off of a main is called a sub branch. Any branch growing off of a sub is a secondary branch. (take notes. I...

I have a hard copy. Of the WCM book. I dont want to cause any issues by scanning pages for you to read. But give me a bit when i go to my garden i will post a couple pics of their diagrams and throw some tips they put in there that made mine flourish and hope it helps you out.

Im not trying to be rude but you are training that wrong. Flat out. I train plants the same way you do and you are litterally making your plant grow sideways. The goal is to not grow it side ways but to still grow it up while stretching the plant out sideways. @Gary Goodson is correct. You are...

I am having a good read as well.

Fun topic for the day, whats the most creative or most useful piece of equipment you've made on your own to mimick something else, or to have a tool for which they dont make yet? For instance. I made a gravity drip for a slow feed on plants out of a 5 gallon bucket, some brass fittings, super...

There are two types of growers. Those who love it and those who dont. If you're one who doesn't, then stop. Noone wants half-assed shit.

Thanks to everyone that responded with their own personal insight and stuff theyve learned. Im at the 1 year mark and ive "learned" all these practices from here or there and so far its all turning out well. But now I am getting to the point where im like a 5 year old and every time I do...

So being kind of a noobie here i usually tend to skim through threads from time to time trying to get ideas and snippets of information. One that I have seen pop up multiple times is that flushing is a myth and its about money for nut companies and ect. Now. I pray this doesnt turn into a...

If youre using nutes and tap water you may likely never have an "issue" without phing. I didnt even do it properly my first run and still did pretty well. That being said, if you dont ph it could cause issues down the line, and proper ph allows your plant to drink better.

Good point. My heavy16 mix drops from 7.2 tap to 5.9-6.0ish

According to most people you want to keep it at 6.5. I keep mine between 6.3-6.5 running fox farms happy frog and coco. 50/50 mix with perlite added in and have no issues.

I mean directly as in the actual act of bending and stressing a plant to sit in that position. That actual portion of it if anything is what stresses the plant. But that being said the leaves sitting flat like that is what is benificial. You could in theory tie everything flat and get the same...

Off to a very good start in my eyes. Now go obsess over it like the rest of us did on our first grows. On my first one id get done for the day go to walk out and just stop and stare with this big grin on my face like "I did this." Almost every time.

This is a two part answer. Yes and no. No it will not promote leaf growth DIRECTLY because youre doing this. BUT if you in theory bend all of the leaves at the perfect angle to catch the most light then well, more light, more growth. In Theory.

If your fan leaves are flat and you arent snapping them or stressing them too hard you should be fine. Just be careful and dont snap it off. And if you do, learn from your mistakes. Good luck

Using a half coco half soil substraint with around 20-25 perlite. Scrogging like the "west coast masters" book recommends (to a degree) and im sitting at 150% of heavy's recommended schedule. Thanks for all the info guys (and/or gals.)

Okay. So heres my issue. Im leaving for a vacation for 5 days. I could set up an autowater. And throw a feed in set it and go. Bingo right? Well my question is isnt there a 2-3 day shelf life on mixed nutes? Im running Heavy16 and I know the foliar is only a 2 day. But what if I make a res with...

I would eventually like to go into something like that. But I am still pretty new to the game and ive been changing and doing so many different things ive been learning im still trying to keep everything as old school as possible while making it convenient.

How long do you have your lights on per day? If any, what nutrients are you using? Are you following a schedule? It could be multiple things. Just trying to get a whole picture so i can try to help better.

Mind dropping a pic of your baby and the setup? Did you try reflecting? Are you using nutrients? Also the original post was only saturday so if you just got the new lights set up it may take a couple of days for her to start taking off. Shes only a baby after all. So try giving her another day...
