:dunce: Duh...never thought of that. Much easier than leaning in at a backbreaking angle and trying to hold the scope and bud without shaking. I've been hanging out at RIU long enough to know that virtually EVERY first-time grower underestimates bloom time by 2-4 weeks. But when you're...

I know I'm at least the 10,000th newbie to post this question, but how close are these ladies to being ready to cut? After two months in veg (grown from Attitude seeds) under 24/0 T5, they've now been under 1000W HPS 12/12 for 60 days, getting full-on GH nutes 3X/day in an ebb/flow table...

The idea is to grow female plants with big, sticky buds but no seeds (Sensimilla) - then the plant can put all her energy into producing those nice trichomes which is where the thc is. If a female plant gets pollinated by a male plant (or by going hermaphrodite), it will produce seeds, but...

They're the same thing. Electrical Conductivity (EC) is just another way of measuring Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). What you want to know is the concentration of nutes measured in ppm (Parts Per Million). Optimum ppm at different stages of growth will vary...generally it's under 1000 during...

'Zackly. This is where a $20 TDS meter comes in. If evaporation is making the concentration too strong, the meter will tell you. Then you can just add distilled or RO water as needed.

OK, well, I drilled a bunch of holes around the rim of the flood tray, used loosely-closed tie wraps as grab points on the plants, tied 'em down, and now most of the endangered growth is bent away from the light. This is definitely LST; there's just a gentle curve in the tied-down branches...

Hi, Y'all - I have a couple dozen clones all taken from G13 Haze mothers, and just this one is behaving like it's Bizarro Weed. It started out OK, then I topped it, and then one of two main branches that followed turned yellow and withered for no obvious reason. What's left is what you see in...

The idea is to give her a big drink, then let the water drain away so the roots aren't soaking all the time, which is a death sentence. Do you have drain holes cut in the bottom of the cup? If not, cut some. Then pour water onto the medium until you see it coming out the bottom. Then set it...

Soak-dry means just that: Water them until the surface is moist, then leave them alone until the medium is dry to the touch. Over-watering is a really common mistake. Just my $.02 worth.

The $30 Nutramist fogger is kinda hard to find, but here's one place . So now I have a question: Wouldn't this be a great way to control humidity in a tent or small grow closet? I have an Arduino microcomputer monitoring and reporting humidity and temp - it could easily turn the fogger on &...

Sounds like they were too close to the lights, and maybe under-watered. New sprouts from seedlings need to be a humidity dome, and given ph-adjusted straight water in a soak-and-dry mode, with occasional misting. That's what has worked for me, but listen to what the more experienced growers...

Just to recap what should be the obvious; It's very easy to get addicted to benzos, and it's a long and painful journey to get out from under their leash. 18 months ago, I was actively addicted to both Oxycontin and benzos (mostly Valium, which is fairly easy to con out of the doc). I found a...

Yeah, I was planning to use 1lb+ weights, setting them on top of the medium as movable anchor points, then use slip knots to set the degree of bend. But I'm thinking that lead weights might leach lead into the plants. Bricks sound like a great alternative. I'll post some pics after the ladies...

Thanks, Stoner. If my ladies were in pots in soil as yours are, tying them down would be very straightforward. My girls are all in one 2X4 flood table in Hydroton. So, yeah, I'll use wire or string; it's just more of a challenge. Rather than fiddle with trying to tie to the edges of the...

I got 'em from Attitude Seed Bank. Great service, great product. I got 95% germination, and all the plants are strong & healthy. Ciao!:peace:

It is SO cool to have access to the wealth of information at RIU!:clap: OK, so thanks to y'all now I have a strategy. Sometime in the next week, I'm going to get some LST going. These ladies don't need the stress of a third round of supercropping, so I'll break out the string and manage the...

Hey, y'all Here are some pics, 2 taken just before todays supercrop, 3 days after 1st supercrop, and 2 taken just after today's supercrop. And one of a typical bud - there are dozens popping up all over. I wanted to do LST or HST today, but there just isn't much room to work in there. I'm...

Thanks, Jyer, pics to follow shortly. I'm heading out there now, will probably do a combination of supercropping and LST. And thanks for the kind words. This project has been both humbling and rewarding. Ciao!:peace:

I'm trying to picture this bamboo setup. Are you talking about a sort of scrog? They are in 4" cubes, plastic removed and buried in Hydroton - the flood table is 2X4 filled with Hydroton, and they vegged in a top-feed setup, also in a tray filled with Hydroton. The roots looked great and had...

Well, I supercropped the tallest of the bunch a couple of days ago, hit 5 or 6 branches, and like y'all said, she doesn't seem to mind it. The supercropped branches are turning back up at the bud ends and looking healthy. So tonight I'll go at it more aggressively, see if I can't buy enough...
