Thanks for the thoughts. I wasn’t fretting terribly because I have 2 other plants. Just wanted some opinions so I stop poking at them to see what’s underneath.

I’ve got a few grows under my belt now, at least enough that I have a general sense of what I’m doing, but haven’t seen this yet. These buds are overwhelmingly leafy on this plant. For people who have been doing this longer, I wonder if someone could give me a take on whether there is likely to...

Nice. Glad to see it’s just practical usage and not a fetish.

Since we are hitting spring dollar tree has plant ties, and they have a pretty thick soft coating. You can do a whole kinky plant bondage thing for like 2 dollars if that’s your freak. It’s worth a dollar or two even if it isn’t.

Pineapple kush 4 weeks in. I’m optimistic.

Sounds like an interesting set up. Part of the fun of this is rigging things up. Makes me feel all mechanically competent. We just buy felt from Joanne’s fabrics. Probably the only reason I would ever set foot in one of those. It’s probably the most un-guy store ever opened, and will be until...

I think the idea is it’s supposed to create a better environment for the roots. The felt holds some moisture and the roots grow like crazy through the felt. I saw it on a YouTube video and it’s worked well for me so far.

I really don’t see a benefit. I can’t say there isn’t one I’m missing. I don’t think the neotpots really inhibit anything. There are plenty of gaps for roots to emerge. I guess one difference is that all of the roots are in hydroton when you fill the table with it. In my case I line the table...

I think filling the whole tray would result in either a nightmare effort to clean the hydroton after your grow or an expensive proposition to throw it away and start new. Personally I would rather do just about anything than clean root bits out of 16 cubic feet of clay pebbles every 4 months. I...

Don’t talk about fight club?

You don’t necessarily need distilled. I’m using RO water for this grow for the first time. I’m only doing it because my TDS out of the tap is kind of high at 300, and I’ve had some salt build up. I wanted to see if RO would help with that. If you use distilled or RO you would probably need...

LST = low stress training. At its simplest it means bending stems and tying them down to reduce height. I imagine you will want to top them for the same reason. There are plenty of explanations out there if you do a quick search. Botanicare does do hydroguard. I’ve had good luck with it myself...

More detail would help here, but just based on the picture with the leaf spotting it looks a lot like a calcium deficiency. You should provide more info if you want better answers.

I start at 50 for flower and slowly drop it. I’m 3 weeks in at 46%. It will probably stay there for awhile but ultimately drop to about 40 towards the end. 77% sounds like a number proposed by the lobbying arm of the international society for bud rot.

Mostly it was either there was nowhere to bend them to because they didn’t go far enough up beyond the scrog or bending them would cover other stuff I wanted exposed. The plants there are about 3 weeks into flower and I’m still bending them a little, but that is starting to end because stretch...

It’s hard for me to say as I’m not in your grow room. Generally speaking though you want to manipulate the plant to keep as even a canopy as possible. The goal is to get more light on your buds. If you think training it reduces the overall light your buds get then don’t do it. If it increases...

Plants look fine insofar as you can tell with the blurples. Ideally you want a flat canopy so all of the bud sites get the same amount of light. I would keep tying them down to keep that canopy even.

Well first cheese has some height per seedsman. Haven’t grown it but they list height at 300cm or about 60 inches I believe. You have to account for the height of the pot, the gap between the lights and the plant and some allowance for hanging height. The vertical space is eaten up pretty...

Damn I was going to call animal. Guess that’s why I’m hanging out in the newbie forum.
