i think we're having a semantics problem. i am not suggesting Spetznaaz did the right thing - he must have stopped feeding sometime in the fifth or sixth week of flowering, and probably hasn't added much nitrogen in over two months - way too early even if you subscribe to the theory that it's...

you definitely don't want two 170's but the right answer for you might be a larger exhaust fan rather than a smaller input fan. depending on the size of your space and your ambient air temps you may not need an input fan at all. for smaller grow spaces a simple hole (to be fancy, a "passive...

to slow this train down a bit - is that 100 actual watts or 100 equivalent watts? a 100 actual watt cfl bulb would be about 9 inches by 3 inches - really big - whereas a 100 equivalent watt bulb is only 23 actual watts and is a little bigger than a normal incandescent bulb. i'm betting you have...

l o w e r. you want to create negative pressure in your grow space to control odor. if your input fan is higher than your exhaust fan then smelly air will be forced out of your grow space through whatever cracks exist.

you need 12 hours of continuous darkness for each 24 hour period for 8 to 11 weeks to finish flowering.

the plant needs 12 hours of continuous darkness each day to flower. some people just cover outdoor plants with a cardboard box overnight and for 12 hours total.

don't cut, gently bend the cola and tie it down lower with string. look up Low Stress Training or LST.

you're ok for light now but you will need a lot more for flowering four plants. at least a 400 watt hps or equivalent amount of lumens in cfl, which is tough to do. you'll need to add an exhaust and fan to keep your temps down with the extra lights. also, keep the cfl's within a couple of...

check out your system to make sure its distributing water evenly to all plants. you may have to adjust the misters to get to some of the roots. also, some of your plants may be more sensitive to ph variations than the others, especially if you're growing multiple strains.

your plants are either autoflowerers which sounds unlikely or the change in light at night is significant enough to trigger flowering. in any case you need to set up a light proof area that you can keep completely dark for 12 hours of the day or you are going to have a hermie farm. you need to...

note that most people top to increase yield - two or more main colas in place of one increases yield considerably

yw. think about repotting also

i add about 25% to 33% perlite.

re-read the first post. he stopped nutes because he knew he was going to have to harvest by the 30th. he stopped nutes a couple of weeks early but other than that and temperature has no problems. the plants don't look heat-stressed so no issue there. it will definitely not kill the quality of...

to reiterate, your plant is just fine, that's what they look like when they're a couple of weeks from harvest and you've decided to stop feeding. yes, you could have kept it green with nutes, and some people swear by doing that, but just as many leave the plant alone in the last couple of weeks...

ub's the expert on topping, you might want to post in his topping stickie or pm him.

a cloner is a mini hydro tub. if you have something like vermiculite in place of hygroton it wicks water a little better, but clay will work.

the hose won't effect ph. leaves get crispy with nute burn, if it were sun and wind causing loss of moisture the leaves would wilt. no worries at all about direct sunlight, especially with your temps - more light the better. only water when the soil is dry a couple of inches down. no matter...

ok, technically he's right, but practically speaking i don't know of anyone who sticks their new clones in dirt - it's so much harder to get to work than sticking them in a glass of water. rooting solution, a water glass and a week or so and you'll have lots of roots to get your clone going.

note you don't typically use autoflowering strains with this set up. but that opens the door for more options of other lowryder-like plants. even so, any height you can add to your grow space will give you a lot more flexibility in choices of strains and lessen requirements to train your...
