Long time ole friend how have you been im trying to get back into my grove first grow in a while.
I re-veg occasionally. The thing to remember is that you are usually using less mass and you need to water accordingly.

Hey UB been a long time since seeing you here been gone for a while but i am starting over..The thread some are looking at on reveg is mine it was started as a thread for some of us who found out a lil to late that we had a great straing to clone so i had to attempt a re-veg and it came out very well i ended up doing it twice and the total turn around time from harvest to re-veg and harvest again was on average 95 days!It is all documented in my re-veg thread with pic's and time frames. But you are very true with some of the trouble or problems you can run into..When i did my re-veg for one i cleaned and rinced my root base very well before repotting her in fresh soil with all new grow set-up EJ micro EJ grow Ej bloom as well as some others such as worm casting bone and blood meal at the proper level and it all worked out just fine and on my last try i actually got some clones from her ...If i started from seed today a 95 day harvest date is about normal with a 4 or 5 week veg!
Years ago I re-vegged just for shits and grins. Worked fine but like all "cool" newbie thangs that you wade thru from newbiedom to veteran status you find out that it comes with some caveats a few being soil degradation, pest issues, rootbound condition, major water scheduling adjustments, delays, etc. You're better off starting fresh.
By the time I have a flowering plant switch back to a juvenile veg mode (yes, it does need to go thru that life cycle/sequence and should revert back to 3 leaf leafsets) I could have a fine looking, nice sized plant ready to switch into flowering. That would be 3-4 weeks from the time the seed popped the soil's surface for me. Add to those caveats, <cough> "unintended consequences" like keeping fan leaves green and healthy at lower levels and you really have "issues". Leave it to a noob who is hell bent on totally fucking things up by following forum logic......using bloom foods and then flushing and you have a recipe for disaster.

UB. Was wondering about root pruning or slicing like 1-2 inches off the sides and the bottom. Is it as easy as that? Cut around the edges and the bottom then re pot into potting soil? I've had a few pot bound mother plants over the years and always wanted to do this but never have had the balls too. Here is what one looked like.

You can or make vertical slices top to bottom, 1/2" deep about 4 times around the rootball using a sharp knife. What you want is to cut thru the root spin-out and induce new lateral roots behind the cuts.

There's a lesson to be learned from a very common call folks often make - thinking they have a deficiency when in fact they've just created a new problem - https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/507899-dynagro-under-rated-fuck-35.html#post9816365

Hey UB!
Thank you very much for saving us from all the evil lack of scientific facts on these forums! You are the savior of my ladies
I have a thing for you to demystify (or not).
Vertical x horizontal lights, which one?
I hear the logic behind light spread of the vertical but I'm not sold out yet. It's all to good to be true.
In the other hand due to my space limitations (55" heigth), a vertical grow would allow me to have taller plants.
And a personal question that made me curious during all the reading (yes, I read everything)
Do you speak portuguese or spanish? I'm a Brazilian girl, so when you write words like "Tio" and "de nada" I go all like aaaaaw * - *
Thank you again!

Hola! Vertical versus horizontal lighting is your call based on your garden's footprint, profile. I'm curious though. If you're living in Brazil, why would you consider indoor lighting? Security?Hey UB!

There is a art form that exists somewhere between laziness and obsession. There is genius in simplicity in other words. I find that the best inventions are quickly assembled and work for a long time. Why use more labor to do something that requires so much less. Time is money... I look at some peoples vertical grows that look like it took days of work to assemble with a mastery in carpentry and room design. Some people see intricate time consuming designs as genius. That is how I see vertical vs horizontal growing. Hang a light... put up some side reflector panels...bam

Yeah, the sun here shines like a mofo, but also the police man.
The law here is pretty rough on drugs and the definition between users and dealers varies from judge to judge.
Most of growers that are caught here are outdoor growers that are snitched (this word exists?) by some religious ass hole neighbor.
Besides I live in a apartment.
I used to have a cheap wing + cooltube that was hanged horizontally, but I broke it, so now I am just using the bulb hanging vertically. Did not build a hole coliseum.
I just find odd some folks talking that their yield increased significantly using vertical. I, like most of you guys in this thread, don't believe in miracles

So I've watched this thread for a while and uncle b was explaining one day about high bloom boosters and how hard they are on our plants. Granted I run advance but I recently took the advice of not running bloom boosts and I can honestly say my buds have never been bigger. The burn is almost non existent, the smoke is smoother and burns better and my all around health of my ladies has improved tremendously. Not that were un healthy per say but the bloom boosters was where my problem lies. Just fig I'd share my findings.

UB, I am up canning tomorrow and I remember reading a post you made, I think.... You may or may not have said to also score the trunk up to where you bury it? And that will encourage root growth out of the slit in the side of the trunk..... how deep of a cut? or am I just making shit up ... oh boy

When I used to grow 'soup style' I found this to be a good move myself. Just read the labels. Same thing with a 'canna' label will cost 3 times the price. Be it organic or salt based. Most organic nutes can be replaced by cheap-as-chips fish emulsions to get the same NPK ratios and most of the time more complete trace elements.Bayer Ag.
I have never bought cannabis specific foods nor do I intend on doing so in the future. Does that answer your question?

Deficiency? Usually something else working and a deficiency is the first comforting feeling a grower gets when he sees something he doesn't like. What symptoms are you seeing?
yeah sorry I just meant the appearance of a deficiency... basically the lower foliage is showing necrosis and it's moving up. I can post pictures in a few hours... but will not doing the "water until 20% run off" cause nutrient build up and these problems? My guess is I'm not watering enough and need to start watering till I get the 20% run off so that excess nutrients are getting flushed out...
