    Three a Light???

    Also, I'd like to add to this debate about defoliating/not defoliating. 2 grows ago I did light defoliation. My last grow, I pulled almost zero leaves. I noticed that ALL the buds that were covered by leaves stayed small and lime green and essentially unripe. I thought that if a leaf receives...

    Three a Light???

    We had 2 seperate plants growing here. Neither of the members posted the end results. What happened??? And wheres the fkin PDF fellas!? If I bought this book that shit would have been on Pirate Bay on DAY ONE. Simply out of principle for that ridiculous price tag!

    "Three A Light" - Seen in HighTimes mag.. Claims 3 pounds per light?!

    That post was just brainstorming...im still brainstorming...so if you want to do a scrog with larger colas than 8 inches, say 15 inch colas scrogged with another screen up top for support. Thats pretty much a very crowded growing environment. In order to actually benefit from those 15 inch colas...

    "Three A Light" - Seen in HighTimes mag.. Claims 3 pounds per light?!

    I did a run with moderate defoliation. And I did a different run with zero defoliation with a different strain, different set up, different grow medium, different watering method, different nutrients. Ok pretty much everything was different between the 2 runs. BUT.... The difference I noticed...

    "Three A Light" - Seen in HighTimes mag.. Claims 3 pounds per light?!

    All these respectable people claimed they'll buy the book and upload it in PDF for the world. Did anyone actually go through with this or was it all talk?

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    Was looking around underneath the canopy today and I found this. Did you have anything like this? The buds on this lower branch have turned brown and died. The leaves arent in great shape but they dont look too much like the other leaves that are browning crusty and dying, perhaps if given a few...

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    Yup! I have about 16-18 inch colas (unfortunately) lol. Theyre starting to lean now, been tying them up. But yeah, i have 16-18 inches of lush dense foliage.

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    Yeah, thats what I've read from many places. Nothing dead from the top, but it appears to be gradually going upward. Its just barely passed the screen now. Leaves right above the screen are now turning brown and dying. I just hope that it doesnt continue to go all the way up. Thats what im...

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    I think I'm about where you are. Starting week 4 I was using 2.75:1 bloom to micro in the lucas formula. I dont know if I'm allowed to tinker with the lucas formula ratios....

    Thank for the reply! They were on a steady 2:1 Lucas formula at 1.5-1.6ec and were doing fantastic up until week 4 when the buds started growing and the leaves started dying. Why would they need more nitrogen once the stretch has stopped if they didn't need more when they were stretching and...

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    Ive been on the 2:1 Lucas formula. I started feeding 2.75:1 about a week ago, shortly after I noticed the issue. I guess that would be considered feeding bloom nutes? I decided to up the bloom to micro ratio at week 5 when all vertical and new growth had stopped and i thought it might help the...

    Why are my leaves dying from bottom up? (pics)

    About week 4 into flowering i noticed my leaves started dying from bottom up. I started week 6 today and its still going on and has progressed further up past the scrog screen. New growth unaffected. I had lollipopped all my plants except one that i couldnt reach in the corner. That one plant...

    Going back to veg

    I'd let it ride for a couple weeks and see how she responds. Cannabis is a resilient plant. If its worth it for you to wait a couple weeks (in regards to electricity and your time), I'd go for it. Though I cant comment anything about outdoor growing whatsoever. If your intention is to place it...

    Classic case of calmag deficiency? (Pics)

    I had a big problem with lacking a chiller as well. Even though im in rockwool cubes, my reservoir was getting funky since it was sitting at 85-90*F lol. But yeah, I have no idea. Theyve been doing really good on a bad EC pen with completely wrong PH measurements. Now im wondering how they will...

    Classic case of calmag deficiency? (Pics)

    I actually didn't raise the EC. Im still using 750 to this day. When i pushed them to 800 i got tip burn as you can see from the pics. So I bumped it back down to 750. I dont think raising EC = thriving. The best rule of thumb that i think makes sense is to slowly raise EC until you get slight...
