Do you think the topping he did made a big difference in a bigger yield?

I'm not sure the unintentional 'topping' that occurred here made much of a difference as it happened fairly early in the grow - so the energy that would have went into the main top was dispersed throughout the rest of the plant. Although peeps out there that have possibly seen higher yields from the PE using a topping technique may disagree... =)

ok new to this just pick up a power grow with a 5 gallon rev. going this week to buy cab 72"H x 30"W x 15"D and a sun system switchable hps/mh 400 watt. can i use the SCROG method with auto flower . i have red dwarf and green-o-matic seed right now . want to start in the next week or so any ideal are welcome and if some one can answer my question that would be great

Autos grow into one main cola - not much branching, so a scrog would be a waste of time with an auto strain... am I right?

Yep, pretty much right on. If it is a true auto it will have a very vigorous growth, but scrogging or lst would most likely produce too much stress and shock, that would not result in the expected gain from it.

As you used Lucas Formula for this grow which is 8ml flora nova per gallon of water, as the water farm is 10 liters which is around 2 and a half gallons, do you wait till the plant has consumed all the water and then top up the water farm again with 20ml of flora nova because its 16ml for 2 gallons then its another 4ml because that's half a gallon so its 2 and a half gallons which = the 10 liters water capacity for the water farm?
Just wanted know how you actually use the flora nova in the water farm, whether you wait till the plant consumes all the water or what that's what i don't understand...
Thanks

Get yourself a good digital PH meter & PPM meter.
I strive to keep my WF topped off once a day or more often if necessary.
Initially this might be once every two days or more until your roots hit the Res.
I work at maintaining a steady PH through daily monitoring.
Do not start with 8 ml/gal nutes, start wilt 1/4 of that and slowly raise ppm over time.
The plant will tell you when it wants more.
Read TD's write up of ScottyBall's WF techniques.
It's pretty step by step.
Good growing.........

Paul Smith.....the first post you make on this board is a personal attack on another forum member, a member you do not know, and in a super awesome informative thread in which Serapis did nothing but answer peoples questions and try and help. Only those that kept asking the same questions or questioned the information he gave got a snap back answer, and rightly so!
I have compressed this whole thread into a .pdf and yet people still posted asking for asnwers that could be found by spending a bit of time reading. Its peoples laziness and spoon feeding attitude that pisses off seasoned growers here.

So how dare you come in here and insult another member!?

You know where the door is...

I must say that this thread was/is an inspiration to me. I find myself going back through it all the time; seems like I find something new everytime too. Much thanks to Scottyballs, and everyone that have contributed much useful information and knowledge. Thanks one and all. As for Paul Smith's comment....uh, that was off topic, LOL, and not very educated at that. Probably someone who got kicked off back for revenge on Serapis. He'll grow up someday.

I know why we have the "like" button on the side....but why isn't there a "dislike" button? Would have come in handy on Paul's post!

Hey guys. its been a while since I posted in the forum, but I had a few follow-up questions for anyone who who do me the favor of answering them. I've managed to beat all of the other hurdles (rising ph, algae, aphids etc..) but I was wondering the best way to administer my nutes. I have come to the obvious conclusion that the way i'm doing it might not be the smartest. I premix the portions in a water bottle then add water to dilute so I can pour more over the hydroton to make sure it gets down into my res thouroughly. (While I'm sure FloraNova Bloom is a great nute, I bought a bottle and find the grit and clogs just unbearable..) Should I leave nutrients diluted in a bottle for such a long time? Should I mix then administer EACH time seperately? Also, I'm using the vinegar PH down method, and i was wondering how much can go into a res before the plant gets affected by all that vinegar... and is that even an issue?

No idea if you're still paying any attention to this thread, but I just thought I'd stop by and say thanks one more time. Just wrapped up my first grow and I couldn't have done it without stumbling upon your grow journal 4 months ago. Thanks for making it so simple man.

You should be adding nutrients directly to water in a single container, then adding it directly to the reservoir. I'm a little confused to your problem, as well as the method you're using, but its always best not to over-complicate things if possible. IE: Pour nutrients into single container of water, stir water thoroughly, test PH/PPM, pour water into reservoir. Voila! Pouring extra over the hydroton is not necessary.

Just read all 75 pages and I have a new one. Scotty what AC unit are you using and how has been the quality? I've been going over all the models out there and reviews have me confused on what to go for.

And I'd like to add this is by far the best thread out there, and I'm so mad I got Flora Bloom instead of FloraNova bloom.....damn ordering :joint:

Why were you running your lights at 12/12 when the Pineapple express is an auto flowering strain.

I have a pineapple express from barneys farm and she started flowering on day 18 from sprout at 18/6

With auto's won't 12/12 give you less of a yield?

The Pineapple express looks really juicy though :p nice grow
