    I use HID too but I guarantee that with an X amount of lumens a plant can thrive just as well with CFLs. Its not like HIDs shoot magic pot rays. if im wrong prove it?

    The bigger the planter the bigger the plant?

    I am even thinking that when a plant gets too big they are unmanageable, I couldnt imagine the nutes it would take to feed a 20x20 indoors. I do think the hole in the floor idea is great Id love to see that. And I also have yet to see root bind in a 10 gal. that is properly watered of course if...

    The bigger the planter the bigger the plant?

    So do you think that's the way it works? I started with 1.5 gallon pots, then moved up to five gallon buckets. As time went on I moved on to 7 gallon plastic and now im just gonna say fuck it and I ordered so big boy 20 gal sacks. I guess the logic is the bigger the container the more roots the...

    Is trimming fan leaves off buds OK or not?

    Once again I prune all throughout the plants life and in all honesty I start from the top and trim one side then alternate. It evens out the canopy and brings the branches at the bottom to the top there is not an article on the whole web that is going to change 20 years of personal experience so...

    it has nothing to do with the type of light its about how much of it and how the plants are topped,LSTed, If you have 100,000 lumens of CFL or HPS or MH its not gonna make any difference.

    Is trimming fan leaves off buds OK or not?

    I prune the shit out of my plants and trust and believe it lets light in. The more I trim the more growth occurs in other places I thin out the colas to promote more colas and the more light that gets through the taller the neighboring branches catch up to the size of the main colas. I have left...

    First Grow...Scared & Desperate...Advice Please!!

    Yeah but after you flush it, let it dry for a couple days cus all of that water will leave her logged and cause a droop, as it dries it will perk up and when its completely dry I mean bone dry then give it a good water with cal-mag not to much just a regular dose. make sure the new growth isnt...

    First Grow...Scared & Desperate...Advice Please!!

    the leaves are showing signs of nute burn that MG soil has a lot of fert in it your best bet is Fox Farm original or Ocean. I wouldn't add anything at all until you have 5 blade sugar leaves when they stutter like that its usually the root developing or you're using the force too hard. Staring...
