Thanks for asking, man! They seemed to perk up and the root system has exploded. But I'm dealing with a deficiency. Not sure if it's potassium, calcium, or both. Any idea what's happening? It was just on some lower leaves for a while but seems to have gotten worse almost overnight.

I'm still not sure whether you mean to remove the nodes on just the lower branches or the upper branches as well? My impression is that cleaning up the lower branches will cause them to grow faster, allowing them to catch up in height with the uppers. I presume you won't see this message until...

Thank you for the advice! I'm sipping on my cup of coffee with excitement over the idea that I'm about to have my first experience with defoliation. It's a far cry from a few weeks ago when my noob mentality had me convinced the crop likely wasn't going to make it.

Remove all the lower growth on branches or just nodes at the base of the branch? And should I do that with all branches or or just those not recieving light?

Three of the four plants were topped recently. I'm letting the fourth catch up in hight a bit before topping her. Are you referring to lollipoping? I plan to do that before switching to flower.

Thanks, man! I untucked the fan leaves and plan to leave them alone. Think I will try some LST training to pull those branches to the side and expose them to more light. But I plan to wait on your reply before going that route as I can already hear the responses saying "you shouldn't have done...

Does this mean it's OK to remove the big fan leaves that are blocking light to lower branches? I've tucked a couple of them but they just end up pressed against other leaves, creating the potential to trap moisture and cause mildew etc.

Yes, Im using LED lighting. The ph has been stable throughout the grow and sits at 5.9-6. Im using gh nutes at 400ppm + the calmagic. I've been stressed that I'm not using enough calmagic but longtime growers here, who know I'm using ro, have told me not to go any higher that 120-140ppm with it...

Just great. Looks like the mystery continues...

I literally started wondering this last night. Things have progressed and started appearing on other plants and nobody seems to know what's happening. That got me thinking, maybe it's a host of nutrient deficiencies starting to show from the late start with nutes. Here is a pic of what a set of...

Thank you! I did read read that a couple weeks ago and again before starting the shock. Just came on here to verify the dosing amounts. If i recall that's the thread that advises 1g per gallon to make the solution. Everything i read online said to use 5ml/g of thay solution for 5ppm of...

This is some very useful information. Thanks for sharing that knowledge! Info like that can save lives

I definately learned that!

I appreciate you expressing the dangers of mixing the two! Thank you

Not sure if my wording caused the confusion or what the deal is? The peroxide was added 24hrs before the shock. I was told that peroxide only lasts up to 24hrs.

Bro, I didn't mix the two. The peroxide was added 24hrs prior and h202 is only supposed to last up to 24hrs.

Amen! Leave it to a woman to be the voice of reason. Thanks for chiming in! I did think about using southern ag (hydroguard alternative) but decided to run sterile. I will prob try bacteria for the next run.

I added the full dose and it went well. But I cannot smell the shock today. My guess is the heavy dose of peroxide the day before hadn't exhausted yet and it neutralized the chlorine. Seems fitting with the way my luck has been going, lol.

I can't seem to find your reply about spraying the plants with lights and fan off. How do I go about doing that? If I spray at night, after lights out, and turn the fan off, there will be no air circulation throughout the night, other than the inline fan. If I cut the lights for a period during...

Thanks for your reply! I ended up just mixing up new solution. Your point about adding macro to the half gallon of nute mix makes sense. Less volume of water. I will definately keep the 15ml per gallon ratio in mind. Thanks for that tidbit of knowledge.
