    Controling Height During Flowering

    My plants are now ten days into the 12/12 cycle and buds are beginning to appear. I don't want the plants to get too tall. Is it ok to cut plants during the flowering stage if plants get too tall? If I cut back on the nitrogen feed-Biobizz, currently at 4ml per litre, will I slow down height...

    How dark must it be?

    I have my plants in 12/12 in a closet. How sealed does the closet have to be for flowering to be successful? Is it ok for some light to leak in, through the vent low down and through cracks in the door etc? There isn't much getting in, just a tiny bit.

    Bend in Extraction To Acommodate Filter

    I need to attach a carbon filter, thing is it won't fit in directly on top of my fan so I'll have to get a bend, close to 45o in there and have the filter lying horizontally. Now I'm just worried that this bend will reduce the extraction rate. What do you think? If it does then I'll just have to...

    Over-crowding?

    Hello Folks, My four Grapefruit babies are now 40 days old and one foot tall. I'm ready to go into flower stage. The plants are healthy and bushy and my main concern now is that they are too crowded in the closet set up I have running. The four are in 11 litre pots and occupy roughly one...
