Sounds good is it good in veg or is there a prescribed time in flower to execute?
I thin the plants to get the shape I want in veg but don't do a lot of defoliation until bloom.

I like to defoliate some right at the beginning of bloom, again around the three week mark and again at the 6 week mark. How much is really a matter of personal preference, strain and vigor.

Note to self the grey wire on the harvest master co2 sensor is for rh and temp only. The black box needs to be in the room.. funny .. problem fixed just need to cut yet another board to mount it. Feel like I've been on the game show redo every room you have.. countless little upgrades that I hope stand the test of time.
This is exactly how you get better at it. Iterate, iterate and iterate some more!

Well nature has humbled me. Haven't been to mobile after skiing last weekend. Whent to look in in things and I have two males. Gh3 ended up female. Definitely need to be more vigilant when starting from seed. So I'll move these to my pollen generation room and reload. All told I have to kill 6 plants today. Ouch...

Little snap in the ankle area that didn't get worse till 6 days later.. so I have to recoup a little. Think it fired off a gout reflex. So drinking apple cider vinegar the human version of ph up.... I have six pins and a plate from 20 years ago that I may have agitated..

Ouch. Vinegar is pH down, just saying. It's still very good for you. Sorry to hear you have gout issues. Take it easy, it's amazing how that physical activity for health thing can quickly become another old sports injury!

Ya after searching YouTube university on the topic it seems to be a flip of a coin. Dudes with Dr in the title says after the enzymatic process the effect is alkaline but others beg to differ so gonna try borax method.... in other news in my state of immobility I cut all the power to primary room to cull my males. To my surprise I left my circulation pump active just so the solution would not freeze. I opened the door to see if I'd successfully Killed them. Nope got to -10 and they were still alive and well. Baffling I must say. All I can figure is the water mass had enough residual heat to keep them alive.. filed under stuff I can't believe or explain.

The water did it. Farmers commonly spray their fields and orchards in freezing weather to help prevent frost damage.

PS that file is very small for me, one benefit of being OCD about learning.

On the topic of Pollen Collection. I usually lay out wax paper and collect it then to the freezer. I'm wondering if any of you guys have another tried and true method that you would like to share?

Brought in two babies to bath in full power lighting. Got the electrical rats nest moved over by the controller. Lots of room to work on the girls. Finally found a cob solution I'm aiming to aquire in two months. Put an airstone at the bottom of each bucket and placed a piece of 2 inch Styrofoam insulation on the bottom of each pot as the cement is still freezing. Currently my weak spot is low humidity.20170308_090223.jpg 20170308_090159.jpg 20170308_090135.jpg 20170308_090246.jpg

Todays redneck upgrade. 1.5 gallon humidifier upgraded with 1/4 inch feed line from 5 gallon rez.
The best humidifiers I've ever seen... are PLANTS, LOL

If your plants aren't adding enough RH then look at how well your room is sealed.

That dinky lil thing isn't going to make any difference in spaces larger than a closet.
