For real, if I'm cloning I trim back my leaves...does that mean they're just dead? (no)

Depending on what you're doing that's still a little too soon. I let my plants get to the 7th node and then I top it back to the 4th... gives a nice sturdy foundation

You did it friend! Lol they accepted my entry so free seeds and T-Shirt all in exchange for growing their fem seeds and posting some pictures/info on the strains as they grow.

The light level intensity bit is possible. I just need something like a storm controller that my Pi can take over. I was looking at how those controllers can manage individual strips in a DIY build...so for instance let my lights dim at the end of the day but keep my IR/Red/Far Red live for an...

I s I mean home assistant as itself is a pre-packaged OS. As far as scripting and custom integrations yea I'm coding it myself. I scored a bunch of free Cisco Meraki demo gear awhile back so I've got a physical firewall/switch/ap/router all separate at my house. I just haven't bothered to set...

Just finished grinding out the numbers for my start-up business plan including estimated tax payments based on 280E tax law..... I'm tapping out for the night.

Ugh well my cukes are flowering like crazy but my cabbage and broccoli are getting chewed up even with the netting. Resorted to misting with NEEM and then nuking it with DE after. Might resort to BTI or something like that if it continues. (cabbage loopers)

I noticed that as well but I just figured it was a fluke.... good business to keep customers happy with freebies! (I also got regular/non-fem seed freebies too, can't remember what the strain was off the top of my head)

My next thing is gonna be making chocolates... Thanks to having a rosin press available (@RadicalRoss) I can do my own solvent free concentrates and do deserts with that so little to no flavor added. Should also be easier to figure out the dosing (just lab test the rosin and do the math from...

I vegged my Birthday Banger (Headbanger x Birthday Cake) for 8 weeks, seemed about perfect from seed (for mainline)... but I topped it A LOT so without that maybe 6?

My Birthday Banger just hit week two flower... unfortunately they're both more compact than my other four plants so they're not getting ideal light but you do what you can :lol:

For real... that and "one size fits all" answers... people are either DEFOLIATION IS BAD or YOU MUST KILL ALL LEAVES... when in reality it all depends on situation. LEDs have less ability to penetrate the canopy so do I defoliate my indoor plants? Most definitely (but reasonable levels)...

Very pretty, what are you doing for soil/nutrients? Got any trich shots/know about how long they have left?

You get that everywhere.... IRL "I heard this politician did x" or "did you hear this new study saying that eating x is gonna make you thinner" ...... it's all about looking into the source of the info.... You'll see a lot of people make the same recommendation I'm about to (I've seen @xtsho...

Another PTSD vet, The best I've found are high CBD strains... more of an old school "full spectrum" kind of smoke (I'm actually working to start a commercial op growing exclusively these)... Some of the best: Harlequin Cream & Cheese Blue Wade Kosher Kush (some phenos; can range from 1:8 to...

DIY projects are half of what makes this so interesting... let us know what you end up doing. If you opt for the washer/riser idea these are what I'd recommend. Just make sure you account for the thickness of where the screw goes through your driver + the spacer + at least 1" into the 2x4 for...

Nice, I use the S4 in my oyster mushroom enclosure.... I needed a fan I could drop the speed to almost nothing (don't need that much airflow and it makes maintaining 90 RH easier).... basically just to make sure spores exhaust out my window for allergy reasons. I opted for the terrabloom for...

So going back to your problems instead of bragging about my DIY :lol: ... What is the space like where you're trying to mount them? Just a plain wall or are there already shelves or anything? Is cord length a limitation or can you run extra wire? Absolute cheapest way I can think of is doing...

Totally, a little washer/riser would solve the issue of the wood heating up. I can touch my drivers with my bare hands without any real issues as is and they're on 100% power... but yea like a little 120mm computer fan behind each blowing away from the tent would be super solid. AC Infinity...

I switched to terrabloom which is a lot quieter than my vivosun... I've been WFH since March though and my tents are in my home office so I wanted to get it as close to 0 db as physically possible.
