    Should I trim more off the lower to "lollipop" them?

    Faller, Do you prefer leaving them to trimming or are you saying you've never had to trim them and have still had good luck.

    Should I trim more off the lower to "lollipop" them?

    TJE- I got what you meant I just couldn't write it down right, lol. Thanks alot for your input, after I got done trimming everything (although I was scared while doing it) I am much happier with the results. the lower forming branches seemed as thought they were earlier in the budding phase than...

    Best DWC nutrients and your reasons?

    First off you need to be more specific with the word "best". Healthy plants? Bigger Yeilds? Better Product? All come at the expense of another. Just a thought. How big are you going with your hydro grow. I started with a few DWC plants and now I'm planning on expanding. These nutes start to take...

    Should I trim more off the lower to "lollipop" them?

    If you check my journal there r some more pictures but pretty much what I did was go to the bottom and I looked for the branches that were creating many small fan leaves but didnt show any real structure growth in regards to budding. The top half, as you can see, was spurting out tons of thumb...

    To trim or not to trim? The 2nd week of flowering

    Also does no one take into the fact that im running hydro? doesnt complex nute solutions from green plant and other brands suffice the nutrients that are normally found in fan leaves so that the plant does no need to get them from the leaves but rather gets them from the nutrients? SOil compared...

    To trim or not to trim? The 2nd week of flowering

    Thanks all. So you dont think that those HCFL are enough to make that lower portion worth while? I think im going to chop down 2 of em like that and see the difference and see if i like it

    To trim or not to trim? The 2nd week of flowering

    Mongo, Yes I am flowering under all red floros. I have 3 6- bulb T5's up top and 7 of the 105w HCFL underneath, look previous in journal if youd like to see them. I've heard mixxed responses on whether or not floros are any good at flowering so i decided what beter way to learn then to do it...

    To trim or not to trim? The 2nd week of flowering

    I've trimmed them twice now in flowering phase, a heavy trimming the day i put them into flower and another slightly less agressive trimming a week after, now my plants seem as though they could use another. Is this advised or negative. Postd one pic here, theres more in my journal if you care...

    First DWC! NEED HELP BADLY!

    If you dont have specific info like ppm and whatnot how big are your resovours, and what nutes did you use and how much. Roots sitting on top of the water? Its deep water culture, get those roots under the water. If your plants started dieing because of lack of water then you give them water the...

    Soil grow plants aprx3ft transfer to DWC? Even possible?

    lordjin, the plant was given to me as a gift from someone of important interests per say. He is a well off man interested in growing and this was his product (lol) my idea was to take his failure and turn it around to show him how good the DWC is compared to what he was doing. Not successful but...

    Soil grow plants aprx3ft transfer to DWC? Even possible?

    Not good nor bad. Mites are off and cleaned away but i decided to just chop the momma down. For the sake of my space and amount of clones I needed it was the smartest decision. I got posts in my journal if you wanna check it out. Thanks everyone for you thoughts

    Soil grow plants aprx3ft transfer to DWC? Even possible?

    So roots in soil are much smaller and more spread out than that of hydro so its much more difficult to get the soil out of the roots. Think leaving it in its light ppm nute solution like dwc just without a lid would be good? I think im going to do that and put a aggressive airstone in there to...
