forgot to add my tap water is artesian 3-4 gallons per minute free flowing if you open the well head ph 6.5 - 6.9
They grow out of it after a couple nodes .... some do it some don't. Honestly I've had them do it in just jiffy starter.
no idea on EC ppm is around 75 -130 was max but i think it was picking up some settlement from the hot water heaterOut of interst do you know the EC???
45-55 % humidityMmmmmmmmman I'd bury that inch . . . . . .!!!!!
You know humidity will play a role in the color of your stem!!!
the 2014 test stated that most my dissolved solids are calcium iron and i cant remember but pretty much all the micro nutesno idea on EC ppm is around 75 -130 was max but i think it was picking up some settlement from the hot water heater
45-55 % humidity
temp stays around mid 70's
and ya i top dress after the plant is 10" tall or so
id need alot of bag'sMannnnn chuck a bag over it, raise it to 90% for a few days . . . .see what happens
Gotta think of the roots, screw the canopy right now . . . . imho

i do it mid veg .....Corrrrrrrrr now then . . . ..
Defoliation is a shock to the system, I will not doubt that .. . . . BUT, if it is introduced early, slowly BUT regularly, there are great bonuses to be had . . . . .
I usually start with the very bottom single leaf mini fans, once I have two other inter nodes above it, AND there is sufficient growth from the single fan inter node to defol. This will giv eme a good indication of how the plant will react to a defol . . .. .some have had that particular inter node defoled OVERTAKE the main growing head!! Other hgave withered and died!!!! Strain dependent my friend . . . . ..
for all . . . .. DO NOT START DEFOLING A FLOWERING PLANT THAT HAS NEVER HAD A LEAF STRIPPED FROM IT, YOU'LL NANNER IT!!!!

i top dress compost or what ever i feel the plant needs usually around preflower it gets filled ..... normally im coco/ peat / perlite but i run alot of organics i use the medium for 2 grows then it goes in the compost pile with the garden scraps and whatever gets cleaned out of the rabbit and chicken coops , chinchilla cages yadda yaddaEvery 1/4 inch out of the soil I'll dress, that area can be and wants to be roots, why deprive it for so long dude ?????
Here's a few pics day 11 from sprout. First pic is my blueberry who's stem is so short you can't see it. Here's an example of some of the shedding that's happening on all plants. Stalks seem to be bending hard and don't seem well rooted in most yet again I'm not familiar with plants at this stage. Lastly a pic of the largest lime still cupping and what have you. Oh and one I hit with lots of microbes and distilled water just to see if I could flush anything out. Seems dying XD. C.c. got declined hoping to have a ppm meter and ph meter by Friday! Fingers crossed they make it till then! Light has been lowered to about 2 1/2 feet rather than 3 1/2 should I give them some night maybe? I've been running 24/0!View attachment 3445005View attachment 3445008 View attachment 3445009 View attachment 3445018
Won't have an ec meter till Friday. Guess I'll try to recommended dose of boost (calmag) and hope I'm OK!Hey duder,
If you're going to use distilled water, imho, you must put something in it or there is a danger the distilled will drag nutrients out of the plant.
Distilled water should at least be ammended to 0.4EC Ca + Mg and Fe
