    How I accelerate fade in soil

    Yup my soil is 6.5. The cooling the roots thing is interesting for sure... Unfortunately I can't get my dark temps below 72 in the summer, that's one of the reasons I started messin around with the PH thing.

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    I agree the results would probably be much more dramatic. But I just don't like hydro weed - I know, that's a whole other argument. I'm firmly in the soil camp for now.

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    I just tried the following experiments: 1) Dumped 3.3PH water into pot of soil. Runoff was 5.7. 2) Dumped 10.5PH water into pot of soil. Runoff was 7.4. So my 3.3PH method may not be quite as effective as I thought. Runoff at 5.7 isn't going to cause massive lockout, maybe just a little bit of...

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    I've been playing around with this too. Saw it on reddit, some commercial grower dude called it a Dryback, which is apparently a subcategory of Crop Steering. The last 2 weeks before chop, I let em get real dry a few times before watering. Seems to stimulate terps and frost. Need to mess with it...

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    Interesting point. I get the water PH down to about 3.3. I would think that would cause some lockout?...

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    I think that depends on the grower. I prefer mine well faded out at chop, as do many others. I like the colors, and I don't like the taste and harsh smoke of green chlorophyll.

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    To cause a plant that's not fading to fade. That is of course, if fading is what you want. To be clear, I'm not suggesting this is something everyone should do. It's simply another tool that can be used if need be.

    How I accelerate fade in soil

    Common method is plain water last 2 weeks of flower. But if the soil is still too hot, or the plant is just stubborn, I simply PH the plain water down to under 4.0. That low of PH causes nutrient lockout, and accelerates fade. Tried it on three runs so far with great results. Try it, you might...

    Nobody huh? Guess I'll do a small run and see how it works. Hopefully the best kept secret in bagged soil ;)

    Anyone using Roots Organic LUSH?

    Looking for a new bag soil for my water only (mostly) runs. I bought a bag of Lush, and the stuff LOOKS and FEELS great - very fluffy, lotsa perlite, and appears to be well amended. It's a newer product, so there's just not a ton info out there. And no, I'm not looking for advice on mix recipes...

    How old must a plant from seed be before cutting clones?

    I've done plenty of cuts before from mothers and older seed plants (8 weeks+). Conventional wisdom from das interwebs says a seed plant must be 8 weeks old before taking cuts. That's seems a bit long to me. Can I take cuts from a seed plant at 4 weeks? What say yee
