oooo tip for changing res. I used to use a pump to empty it. wet dry shop vac! gets it done 10 times faster and it totally empties it, the pump would leave 1/4 inch-1/2 inch left on the bottom

Next questions.

Co2 bag. Remove during 6 hour peroid of rest?

When do i start super cropping (roughly)

In your opinion is starting every fresh reservoir change at a PH of 5.5 to let it swing up to 6.2 so all nutes are received?

Tomorrow ill be changing from 2 rubbermaids to 1 giant one so i only have to worrie about 1 reservoir. Again i cant thank you all enough and will take all suggestions.

Yes, remove CO2 at night. Cannabis is a C3 plant and does not uptake CO2 without light. Supercrop whenever you feel like.

Why remove the bag? Its not going to stop producing co2 just because you take it out of the area all that is is more work granted not much work and it dosnt hurt if anything thats more co2 when the lights come on

If that's the case, then yeah, just leave it. I was figuring it would be wasted (since its not a sealed space), but if its gonna produce gas anyway... I was assuming it could be "turned off" so to speak.

It takes a while for growing nodes to appear.topping speeds that up. personaly i dont like any leaves low enough to touch the media.

deleafing is fine but dont over do it, and dont wait untill the second week of flower and do it all at once. I pull a few leaves almost every watering i only pull canopy leaves if it is blocking a top from direct light. Usually i take them from the bottom.
Just started a new journal if you want to check it out

I agree!! Every time I water I cut back some of the largest leaves to allow more light into the middle and onto the new sprouts. It's working extremely well and I have some amazingly beautiful and happy ladies bc if it.

So confused i read that its bad remove any leaves as there is sugar and other molecules that the plant loves. They say remove when dead or close to. Ive attached a pic any suggestion on these big bastard leaves. Please see attached photos. Pic 1 and 2 are same plant then 3 and 4 are second. Last is both togther. 20170427_003137.jpg 20170427_003137.jpg 20170427_003137.jpg 20170427_003137.jpg 20170427_003149.jpg 20170427_003202.jpg 20170427_003210.jpg 20170427_003217.jpg

Im confused also. The texture of the leaf tells me over water but your in dwc so that shouldnt be the case. Besides that leave the fan leaves if they arnt covering a top.

20170426_074908.jpg Think of it like this. Are you going to lollypop? Chances are that you are. Instead of doing it all at once just take a couple leaves a week off the bottom. Dont take them faster than they are growing. So if your plants stall dont take any. Mine have like 12 tops atm when i take 3to 6 per week its putting on guessing 24 to 48 new ones. Remember in nature no pot plant makes it through veg withought getting eaten on. Its the lowest leaves that are the first to go

What type air pump are you using and how much air is it putting out? Seems when I first started out I used a weak pump and was having similar results as you. I upgraded air flow and have had praying plants ever since.
