Here's a good thread on topping Uncle Ben style. JD https://www.rollitup.org/t/uncle-bens-topping-technique-to-get-2-or-4-main-colas.151706/

Llamp, I'll pipe in... They don't look bad. Perky and growing. No nutes in coco. If they were my plants I'd feed them a little more. I use Maxibloom for everything. Mix a bit at 1/4 strength and then dilute 50/50. So my seedlings get 1/8 strength. JD

I like each plant to have it's own pot so they can be moved around...but that's the only way I've done it. JD

Hi Sparky, I do small bonsai style clone Mommas so my cuttings are small.. I'd get them all set up on the tray...veg for a week or so till I knew the roots were well established. Then flip em. Once you get the timing down...it goes very smoothly. My favorite style of growing. There's a...

Hi, I only used a 3x3 tray with 5" square pots filled with hydroton. 24 pots fit. Sorry never calculated yield...but I was very happy with the quality. Mostly grew White Widow and some Cherry tasting BOG strain whose name I forget. JD

Hi Matt, You asked what is the maximum number to use. Answering that question...I'd say 6. But since LEDs are more efficient...4 would be good for a solid grow. IMHO Why buy more, only to have to turn them down...and you can always add more later... JD

I once made an elixer using Everclear, good ganja bud and schrooms. Let it steep for 6 months. Nice mixed buzz. Not a heavy trip but enjoyable. JD

Hi Guys, I put this little unit together to keep wiring neater. Two 315w cmh ballasts. Since they run only on 240v and my 240v timer only had one outlet...this allowed to me run them both on one cord. The 315s are hanging from a lightmover on each side of a large led. I always like mixing...

Hi Kushdaddy, I lived and grew in Iowa for three years. Had a large weeping willow in the front yard that I used to make cloning juice. It worked great for me. But sorry no experience with aloe. Another option is to make or buy an aero cloner. Never used them but lots of guys do. And...

The main stems get woody over time...less likely to stretch much. Reveg plants do that too.

Most of the "bad bacteria" that infects hydro systems is what's called anaerobic bacteria. Oxygen kills anaerobic bacteria...so res aeration helps to minimize root rot through that process. Some systems are more prone to infection. I would never run DWC without airstones or some other...

Can't be done. Just look at the watts/square ft. To fill half that space (roughtly 50 sq ft would take 1500w, and that's using only 30watts/sq ft. You need to either downscale or get an electrician in there to run some proper circuits. JD PS Posted before seeing your latest post. Sounds...

I saw a dude root a fan leaf just for fun. I'll bet if he grew it out...it would start like that. Shit happens...or maybe "Nature finds a way" is a better adage. I planted 6 of my Black Widow seeds and got 5 survivors. One stunted and just wouldn't grow. Just died. Happy to see you are...

Another thing I did was to put a timer on my water heater. Comes on at 0600 and is ready for a shower when I get up. Still enough warm water to wash dishes etc later in the day.. JD

Wow...now I'm jealous. My place is old but has GE breakers (no fuses). I pulled the line from an electric range and ran that to the growroom. I prefer cooking with gas anyway. My neighbor was parting out a travel trailer which luckily had a small GE box which got mounted as a sub box.. I...

Myke, You're gonna lose available headroom by putting them up on a table. So be sure to take a tape measure and plan carefully. Trays are more manageable with smaller plants. IMHO JD

Aldeez, This is the one area that you shouldn't skimp on. Fire and equipment damage can really fuck with you. If you are limited on available electricity...you can stagger your light start up. There's an electrical surge with HID start-up and if you use different timers and slightly different...

Oh...one more little benefit is that you can take res samples from the tray during a flood. Saves lots of bending over... JD

The roots go to where the water is. Sometimes...with fresh clones I'd cram a 1/2" hose down into the E&F fitting and use that hose to top water. Maybe a few days till roots grow. My pots were about 6" tall and would get flooded about halfway. The system works great... JD

And it's not just joints. Recently I ODed myself on a new batch of canna butter. Weke up with serious red eye. Like death warmed over... JD
