That defol will really help but you are "a victim your own success". Good that you've got a powerful dehu and that you're read in on VPD. I can't imagine trying to run a grow like yours on "feelz". Things are lookin' really good amigo.

Oh. :shock: Great problem to have!

"Ive had a couple of days of 28-29°C in the tent even with lights turned to 50% nothing much I can do but it's only temporary thankfully" Sorry to hear that. Lacking an AC unit the only other thing to do would be to run the lights at night but, if it's just a heat wave, it might not be worth the...

Re. topping—standard practice for me. I top at day 21 and LST to fill the tent. Most of my plants end up very tall anyway but I (should and will always from now on) grow only one plant in my tent so I really need a flat canopy. My most recent grow (last time I'll ever grow two plants). Nice...

"in the ground"—meaning that you're growing plants other than cannabis? That's great. What are you growing? I see that. Two observations—a couple of leaves look to have some tip burn but that's two out of…thousands. Amazing. Second, I agree about moving out one plant, maybe more. Bud rot is a...

Plants are looking great! The only comment I'll make (I am capable of not writing reams) is that the plants look very green. That could be just the fact that the pictures were taken in natural light but just wanted to run that by you. Keep up the good work—this looks like it will be a great...

I've bent or damaged branches and my experience is that, if it's fatal, it's immediately apparent. Supercropping is a valid technique where the stem is crushed intentionally so that the top of the stem can be bent over to make the canopy more even. It is/was really strange for me to do...

Most research is done on "clones" since that removes genetic variation from the equation. If they refer to "rooted cuttings", I'd assume that to be the same as a clone. I can think of only one paper that was done where they didn't run CO2 and, amazingly, that study took light levels up to...

Your temps are crazy high (like I'm telling you something you don't know!). And I'm surprised you're paying that much for electricity (like you're not surprised you're paying that much for electricity!). :-) With those kinds of temps, I can see why you're running at night. That's brutal...

Research shows that spectrum has little to do with yield. As the percentage of blue photons increases, yield decreases (see attached). In terms of LED's increasing yield, I think the attached paper documents that HPS results in higher yield but the cost of running an HPS over N years is so much...

"too many leaves" ! Like Pink Floyd says "Grower, leave them leaves alone!" Bud sites at the bottom of the canopy will never reach an appreciable size. You can remove leaves to get them more light, which helps them mature, but the further a bud is from the top of the plant the smaller is will...

Yeh, they get thirsty especially as you move further into flower and VPD goes up. 75-80 at night? Wow. That's tough. How about an AC unit? I got a Whynter 14kBTU portable for my first grow. 1200 watts. At least your electricity isn't ~40¢ per KwH!

Thrips. I get them almost every grow. Drench twice with Spinosad. [edit] The thrips that I've had were small enough to hide under the "spine" of the leaf. I used the "trich checking" loupe to look on the bottoms of the leaves. The first sign was light splotches and a leathery or stiff...

That's absolutely great. I'll grow vicariously through you! I can't start a grow until mid to late September and my "marital situation" is such that I might be moving before then. :-( 850-900 is where I ended up for my grows. My plants were very happy with that but, looking around various...

You're welcome. There's a lot going on the hardware marketplace that's being driven by, no surprise, technology. LED's are getting better (some of the new Migro lights are excellent and the Spider G4500 is stellar) but we're seeing AI devices and dumb devices that are being connected together...

In late 2011, I had a lot of clothing that no longer fit me and I considered starting a web site to resell clothing of people who had lost a lot of weight. The name was "changeofclothing.com" but the numbers wouldn't work out. December 8, 2010-294.5 pounds, 6' 1" tall, 18" neck, 54" chest 44"...

Good stuff. And your grow is very stable, too, right? "Yeh, well, except for the occasional snow drift…"

Wow, 600's pretty low for a max value. Even I run up to 800/500. What VPD's are you using? I run 0.8, 1.0. and 1.2-1.5 but that's in ambient CO2. Do you run lower VPD in your grows? I agree with you about the "It kinda goes against the notion that autos need 50% less than a photo period ."...

Nutrients, to the plant, just aren't an issue. Growers spend a huge amount of time on it but, when all is said and done, it's all the same 18± chemicals and, as long as they're within well know ranges of concentrations and as long as they're in well known ratios, the plant has what it needs to...

My apologies, I just found your response. I completely understand using multiple lights! From my most recent grow. The main light is a Growcraft X3 with a pair of Vipar GlowR80's in between the light bars. There are a lot of lights in there but they're not running at 100%. The Mars...
