Use a chamber for germinating. Some seeds are not popping. Any germinating tips??

I use Cal-Pow, a water soluble blend that will provide plants with the right combination of essential Calcium and Magnesium during all stages of plant growt.

Hey Growers. When do you defoliate photos? When at the end of flower?Planning to have to do a hefty defoliation and some lollipopping too and wondering when you more experienced growers do. Thx

Hoping you are having great holidays. My ghs super lemon haze has been to 28 days of flowering. Set the viparspectra xs2000 light 12/12. The canopy is pretty packed which I’m not 100% thrilled about as these lower branches have grown up…I never lollipop right. There has a bit of mag deficiency...

The plants are happy and have reaching leaves. There are buds starting to form up and some stretch happening. There are a bit more leaves too. Do i need to defoliate now? Is there any sign for defoliation, or any defoliation schedule guide?

Lucky (?) I never encountered any foxtailing before. I'm lacking such experience... I googled and learned. But I may not realize when I do meet with foxtailing. Do you guys have any foxtail experience and how do you spot and handle it?

Which is more important, humidity or fresh air flow? I have to pick a medium. If Fresh air fan is on 24 hrs RH drops to 30% with humidifier on max. To keep RH at 50% fan is on 15 mins per hour but growth seems slow. Any tips or do I need to chill haven’t done seeds in a while.

It's Remo Nutrients.

Yes, it's moothly rotate,a little difficult to adjust accurate. But I have handled it.

The plants are starting to shoot up, new growth has that light green color, and old growth is still dark green. I fed with Remo transition feed and added green planet rezin. I’m going to start watering every 2 days, more coco style rather than soil with a dry back like I normally do. I think...

Is a heat mat sufficient to supplement the temperature in a small grow tent? (2x2x4 set up). Operating from well-insulated winter shed space.

Yes, thank you.

Hello growers, I made a dumbass mistake…..I have had the timer set for viparspectra xs2000 running 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. I’m wondering if is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake. Thanks.

I want the plants aggressively VEG, so I will try 24". Thanks.

I’ve just been weaving branches, pulling leaves, and waiting. Now with 3/4 of the squares filled I’m going hopefully get some stretch to finish filling it quickly and start moving up. The light viparspectra xs2000 is at 30” and 100% to hopefully have the tops stretch for the light but still be...
