    Should I start over? very slow growth (day 9) [AUTO]

    yeah once it established it was ridiculous. It was like it was on steroids or I rolled it in radioactive waste and it gained super powers. Branches could barely support the buds. I’m using a scrog on that one, but I don’t think that’s why it turned out so well. TBH its probably just genetics...

    Should I start over? very slow growth (day 9) [AUTO]

    Me too. I left this pineapple kush for dead. This picture is 15 days after popping. It actually has some issues in that I put it in the flood table too early before roots were showing. The plug was waterlogged and the roots weren’t making it out. Basically it was suffocating. We carefully...

    Should I start over? very slow growth (day 9) [AUTO]

    I would agree then that it’s a little slow, but bottom line if it looks healthy I would show some patience. Take the first run as a learning experience. If it survives you will still wind up with a decent amount of weed. I f’d up everything in that first grow and still got close to a couple...

    Should I start over? very slow growth (day 9) [AUTO]

    I don’t see a problem with that plant at this point. I had almost the exact question on this forum during my first grow. The advice I got was I was impatient and to wait. That was the right advice. Every plant is different and this one might be focusing on building out its roots. There are...

    Hello Everyone! New grower here!

    Personally I think 75-77 and 40-50% is too low for young plants. They probably won’t die, but I think you want the humidity higher early on. I would rather see 60% fwiw. It can drop later on.

    Perfectph recharge solution

    Thanks! I’d be grateful if you could dig that up. I‘ll look around in case that quantity issue has changed. Are you happy with the torus in general? These things are expensive, but it seems like a no brainer to me. I’ll avoid the daily Ph checks, get some savings back in ph down and calibration...

    sounds like we are talking about different things. This is the torus perfectph system.

    Perfectph recharge solution

    Just picked up a torus inline as a timesaver and so I can have someone take care of the res while I’m away with minimal pain. The recharge solution seems insanely expensive, and I’m guessing its cheap chemicals at 10,000% markup. Any idea what the recharge solution is and what it would cost to...

    Do you sample the goods early?

    I typically first try smoking some the day I jar it. Plucking something off early and smoking it seems to give you a harsh smoke and inferior buzz. You really aren’t learning much about the final product, and unless the weed you already have sucks balls you are going to enjoy properly dried and...

    New to this. Help me out here old pros!

    we used to have a tent before we built a dedicated room. We took a wood board, cut it to the width of the window, painted it white and cut a 4 inch round hole in the board to run the exhaust venting. If you cut the hole correctly the venting just wedges in the round hole. You could even...

    How is your harvest?

    Pretty happy with this one

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    So this is what it wound up looking like after chopping and trimming last night. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of bud underneath that mess, but it took 3 of us several hours to trim.

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    Thanks. I’m dreading it not only because it’s so leafy but because this sugar candy strain is notoriously sticky. I may need to smoke all the scissor hash just to make it through the process. How was your yield in the end?

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    These are the leaves I was cutting hence experiment. I’m not going to touch the defoliation topic.

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    Yep. 2 hurricane fans and a swiveling tower fan. Humidity has been sitting at 45% although I’m going to drop to 40 over the next few days.

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    So we pulled back a few leaves and there are some tiny budlettes that look like they were suffocating under there along with some moisture. I took what I think is an unusual approach of trimming back some of that excess sugar leaf to expose those bud sites. I’ll share how that experiment goes...

    What differences do you see with Lucas versus traditional ratios?

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    Yep already with you on that. I’ve done just GH micro and bloom the last three times I’ve added nutes. One idea that occurred to me was I’ve been running my EC hotter than I had previously but kept the same NPK ratios. I thought that might have contributed to leafiness. Thanks for the thought.

    Exceedingly leafy plant any thoughts?

    So based on what you have seen in general should I expect a reasonable amount of bud under there that is just a pain in the ass to trim or does it imply less yield?
