Doesnt chopping while theyre budding especially chopping formed buds stress them to maybe hermie?

I don't wanna say yes or no, LOL.....but for me getting lights to all the buds with in that 1st 3 feet is really important. I am convinced with more lights you get way more crystals on the buds that makes the smoke high octane. Another thing that i noticed week 3-4 is ok to trim, all it does it set back the growing process for a few days till the plant is completely heals. Now there are a few ways to help the hormones to get re-balanced quicker. I feed molasses only for 2 days without any nutes and that works for me very well.bongsmilie

Lol they are doing well! No signs of the PM yet. Well I went little wild with spraying too much after lights off and left the patio door open at nights. So that's how I got hight humidity and low temperature. I don't know what I was thinking, lol

hey earlier I saw that you had asked about the nute ppm. I use pure blend aswell grow and flower and Ive always boosted them up to the 1500ppm mark by the end of week 4. I use several of the additives you do aswell as a few others. Have you tried sulfur burner for your powdery mildew? If your still in veg then you have plenty of time. I can show you how to build a very cheap VERY effective sulfur burner and I swear by mine. You can also raise the heat for a week or so and spray your plants everyday ( neem, azatrol w.e) From my experience pm will come back after 3 days but if you keep after the spray and take small size steps along the way it tends to steer clear for the remainder of the flower cycle.

I would recommend you get lemon juice (pref organic) and mix 3 parts water with 1 part lemon juice. Spray every 3 days or so for a couple weeks it should be gone. Why this works... the acidity of the lemon juice lowers the ph on the leaf surface, turns out PM can't survive in a low ph environment = you win. Milk also works, but that leaves a residue, and seems much messier then lemon juice. The plants love it as a foliar and there's no bad residue so you really got nothin to lose.

I used to push the nutes to around 1500-1700 but to be honest with you since I kept my nutes around 1000 and lower plants seem to be much happier and of course depending on the strain the ppm is adjusted. I've heard sulfur is a great option however it wouldn't work for me cuz I have my setup inside my closet which the sulfur fume will spread though out the house and become a health issue for me and to leave the patio door open then I have to deal with the temperature. I really appreciate for the info and that is a great tip. Thank you

It makes a lot of sense, thank you. I will start doing it today and post an update every 3 days and see what happens. Excellent!:)

Wow your Tangerine Dream plant is looking great. The best thing of all is that I'm on day 24 of flower and myTD is developing in a very sexy similar way to yours. I'm not sure mine will be quite as sexy looking as yours for a while though because I LST'ed it and now I got buds everywhere! I counted 30+ bud sites all pointing upward with clear access to light. Might have slowed it down a LOT with the LSTing if more buds = longer flowering. I heard TD can take a little while to finish depending on phenotype. How long are thinking for the TD now?
