    No light right before harvest?

    Does anyone know about turning of the lights for the last few days before harvest? I've heard if they stay dark before you cut them it'll increase the trichome production. does anyone have any advice?

What I've been doing is just draining the water through the top feed system. then adding fresh distilled water and draining it so the system gets somewhat clean. This time when I flush I want to...

    removing leaves for more light?

    my plants are about a month old, between 6 and 8 inches in height and seemingly very healthy. however, the plant that is right in the middle of my set up is that is receiving the most light, is growing faster than the others. the leaves are very large and my space is limited. Would it be ok to...

    removing dead leaves

    my plants are about 4 1/2 weeks old. Despite a shaky start, they are healthy plants. However, in the time when I had the wrong nutrients, a few lower leaves died. How do I remove the leaves? do I break the branch off at the main stem, or just remove the leaf?

    1st time hydro grower. advice?

    Ok. So I just bought the Fox Farm nutrient trio for hydroponics. It includes the "grow big" ,"tiger bloom", and "big bloom" so I'm hoping they get here soon. You said to make sure the nutes get stirred in every day by using air stones but I'm not sure what you mean. there is an air stone on the...

    1st time hydro grower. advice?

    I'm a first time grower with a hydroponics set up. I have a DWC/topfeed cabinet thats 36" tall x 31" wide x 20" deep. I also use a fogger that came with my set up. I planted 8 seeds, 3 Jacky White, and 5 Fruit spirit 18 days ago. I'm using a 180 watt ufo LED light that is a little less that 3...

    does anyone know what this is?

    they are kind of curving downward, also they're a little darker in color. Sorry the picture isn't that great but you can kind of see it.... so the lid to my reservoir has 14 holes. I only used 8 so I covered the others with reflective tape. from what you said I guess this is a bad idea since...

    does anyone know what this is?

    little seedling looks sick. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture but the little leaves are kind of folding over. I'm using a topfeed/DWC hydroponic cab. I'm using a 180 watt UFO LED light that is running on a 20/4 light schedule. My pH level is staying pretty consistent at 6 and my PPM...

    any advice

    well the light doesn't just have red in the light. it has the whole spectrum and its supposed to be ok for all stages. its a lot like this one. http://www.dealzer.com/servlet/the-79879/90w-Ufo-Led-Light/Detail . I'll lower the light so they're not stretching. also the window ac unit is helping...

I've...
