magic tricks are for pussies...
welcome to the internet, where you can find all the free music, movies, porn, and information your brain can handle...
there's no real special secrets... but there are some advanced things you would have to read a while to figure out... so - if you want to look up any of these topics for a little more information feel free...
LST - low stress training, this is tying the plants over so the tops dont go straight up, but bend over and let the side branches become "tops"...
SCROG - one of my favorite "secrets" - stands for screen of green, where you basically low stress train the plant, and bend the side branches under the screen, so their side branches will produce buds as good as the top... it gives you about 1.5 - 2x the yield potential, but requires more work. the whole purpose is to create a perfectly even and uniformly lit canopy that will be filled with all buds that resemble mini-colas.
topping - is cutting the brand new grow shoots off the top of the plant, this gives you 2 main colas instead of one.
FIM - is similar to topping but you have to cut the top in a special way... not all the way off but at a U shaped curve, and leave a small amount of the top on the plant, this will give you between 2 and 8 tops... and makes the plant branch out more than it normally would.
supercropping - is where you squeeze the stem, or roll it around in your fingers to turn it into mush, and basically break it without breaking the skin of the stem... the plant will repair this, and the bud at the end of that stem will be bigger than it would have been originally... dont do this too many times at one time, you have to spread it out to not stress the plant too much.
Ultraviolet Lighting - HID lights produce very little UV light, UV is a wavelength of light that produces a color beyond violet... lots of animals can see this type of light, and plants outdoors get lots of it in certain areas of the world. you can get supplemental UV lights in the form of fluorescent tubes or CFLs... they sell them at pet stores for reptiles, you can also use tanning bed bulbs... UVB is what you are looking for...
and my most recent, and favorite "secret" - digital timers suck! - i threw away 8 of them that i had to totally reset anytime the power went out or when i switched from veg to flower - i replaced them with a programmable logic controller (PLC) which can control any amount of lights, fans, or pumps, and has the ability to make decisions and do math... it has an infinite amount of timers with accuracy down to the 10th of a second. (so you can turn something on for 62.5 seconds if you want) it also has the ability to make sense of analog inputs, which would allow it to read the pressure of the room compared to the atmosphere, or the amount of co2 in the air, you can also hook up solenoids to it to allow it to release co2... and you program it on the computer, so you can save, edit, and monitor the state of everything in your grow room live, and even remotely... PLCs are usually for industrial automation so they have everything you could think of... you can even get touch screens that you program and can make control anything manually... i'll never grow without one again.
were any of those YOUR secrets growtech? hopefully i didnt give any of your competition a leg up on your biz... you sound like a commercial grower who hates his job, most other ppl are here because this is their hobby and they are addicted to growing as much as they are addicted to smoking... thats my case anyways
enjoy your free information everyone...
