    What's the best reflective sheet material for the walls?

    Yep, just found it - it's called the "ORCA grow film".

    What's the best reflective sheet material for the walls?

    I've heard the best stuff is some kind of white sheet. I'm trying to find it. It was called orcan or ocran or something... What you guys think?

    How to clean a reflector?

    This is the lightning system - ePapillon 1000W My question is - which type of chemicals should be used to clean it? I want to be 100% sure not to decrease its reflectiveness.

    Can plant tissue culture speed up phenotype hunting?

    Thank you for your time and effort to explain it out.

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    FUCK YES. NAILED IT! Contrary what many members said when I started this thread - something along the lines that you could never know how much yield are you going to get by judging a vegging plant. Complete bullshit imo. My question was about the smallest 10% that look really small compared to...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    I'd really like to know if you were talking about 600w or 1000w in 4x4 tent. Overall thank you for confirming the importance of growth speed.

    Can plant tissue culture speed up phenotype hunting?

    I'm not sure how painful it is. I've got the pressurecookers and a flowhood. Pretty used to growing mushrooms. I can see the similarity in equipment requirements.. almost like mushroom growing and plant growing mixed together kind of thing. You said clones are easier, but you meant "cuttings"...

    Can plant tissue culture speed up phenotype hunting?

    For example, if I grow out 100 plants from 100 seeds and wish for the next grow to be able to grow out 100 plants that have been taken from the best one from those 100 seeds, then I would need to take at least 100 cuttings from all those 100 seed-plants. This is in total of 10 000 cuttings to be...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    Kingrow's opinion still stands - no point of taking cuttings from all plants, because slow veggers are not going to be the biggest yielders. My question - could you explain a bit further how many % of the plants would you leave out of the phenohunting selection in veg stage? Or is it better to...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    I didn't say I was running a 100 plant grow. It was more of a hypothetical question. To my understanding new strains aren't very stable, so if I'm running "The Ultimate" by Dutch Passion, it kind of makes sense to me where the variation comes from. I got 100% germination with 150 seeds and they...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    MichiganMedGrower said: Some of the highest yielding plants are slow growers in veg and require more time to grow into a big plant. I would add that highest yield per plant might probably be the one that takes a long time to finish too. Kingrow1 said: If you want the biggest yields (per year)...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    This post was exactly what I was assuming myself, but would be nice if few more people would back this up.

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    So you all agree upon the idea that bigger/faster vegging plants will probably be the ones that will be the biggest yielders per year - in the other words after all we can make the first part of selection in the veg stage? - choosing the biggest plants just before 12/12 for the purpose of...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    What if the goal is to get the biggest yield? Can I leave out the smallest 10-20% in veg? Nice answers btw. I hope there comes more.

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    Do you think they are also worth the effort?

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    But what about the ones (about 10%) that are really slow or little?

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    That would suck if the biggest yielders could not be predicted by vigorousity of vegging plants, because that would mean that one would need to take at least 100 clones from 100 vegging plants in order to get 100 plants of the best phenotype for the next grow. That's over 10 000 cuttings. How...
