    Super Cropping vs SCROG vs Topping vs LolliPopping

    That is an awesome looking plant, bro. I'm a noob. Have just been leaving the girls natural before I gave some of these techniques a shot. I've super cropped by mistake, and it did not work at all. My girls don't like it. They shrivel and die above the bend. So it essentially becomes topping...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    HB, Do you always find consistency in your grows? Let's narrow that down to do you always find the same exact amount of nutes at the same point in the process works every time. Or do you find yourself adapting your nutes a little each time in the process to what your girls are telling you...

    93f grow room

    I ran at 92-93 day 75 night for the entire 8 weeks and everything turned out fine. Was my first grow ever so have nothing to compare to but yielded 0.81 gpw. Have to imagine I'd have done a lot better had the temp been in that optimal 78 degree daytime zone, but it won't kill you. Besides...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    I agree w that. And just wanted to say thanks again. Finished at 0.81 gpw. I know alot people don't value that unit of measure. But I was happy with it and it gives a general idea of how I finished up. It was my first time around, had day temps avg 92 and night temp dropped to mid 70s...

    Why the hell wouldn't u follow the advice of those with experience if you have none of your own? Forget this sight, that's life.

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    I do have to say if it wasn't for guys like you and homebrewer on here this place would not be worth the time. I'm new, lurked for a long time before finally signing up. I follow you two almost exclusively as a noob because there are so many dudes preaching dumb shit on here its ridiculous. I...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    HB, Thanks for the advice. Fixed the girls right up. Immediately. Figured it would take a few days but they looked better overnight. I def think I have two different phenos. Short and thick then tall and scraggly. What sucks is I figured the taller girls were going to be better producers...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Well, thanks for the reply regardless. I will give it a shot on a few and see how it goes this time around. I'm going to top above the 2nd node and see if I can get multiple leaders.

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Alright Uncle Ben, Have been lurking and working for a while now. Learned alot from guys like yourself and home brewer. I am in week 5 of flower and doing pretty well in my opinion for it being my first time. I Let the clones grow without topping, lst, or any other form of training to keep it...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Ok. I will drop it down a couple tenths, stick w 80/20, and see how they respond. Thanks. I was wondering after I wrote that if maybe I was dealing w some lockout issues because i let the water level get lower than usual. So I think that approach as well as possibly changing to 70/30 is a...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    HB, Goin into week 5 12/12. (As a refresher, Im using the 80/20 dynagro mix you prefer.) Girls are doing well but I'm starting to get some leaves yellowing. My EC has been around 1.5 which has kept them looking green and healthy. I'd say about 5% yellowing on the plants that are actually...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Thanks, HB. That was a lot more simple than I thought it would be. Not sure why I thought it would be some crazy equation. Then again, math has never been my strong suit. Week 3 of 12/12 starts tomorrow. Half the girls stretched and are lookin great. The other half stayed somewhat squatty and...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    I have a question that may be simple to you guys, but I'm having a little trouble with it: I will try to keep it as simple as possible. I am trying maintain HB's 1-3-2 macro suggestion. If 80% of my nute mix is dynagro bloom (3-12-6) and 20% is dyna gro liquid gro at 7-9-5, how do you simplify...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Hey fellas, I've got a quick question. I dropped my nute solution down as suggested to get to the 1.2-1.5 EC. I started 12/12 this week under 1000 watt hps. Day temp is 78 night temp is 70. My girls are starting to look like they are getting too hot. The leaves are curling around the edges a...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Thanks, brother. Funny thing is, I asked the sales associate what so special about big bud and overdrive. I said you could reach the macros listed in the products contents on your own, so what is it that really sets those nutes apart. What's the science behind it? She proceeded to tell me that...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Ok. Thanks. I've been following the chart that comes with the GH 3 part for DWC. I'm using the watermfarm drip systems w air stones. . I've been going light on the nutes itfollowing the weekly chart none the less. I don't understand why they would give you instructions that are so far off. My...

    Thanks for the link, Jointed. Gonna read that right now. And thanks for the feedback mrE. It's on the .5 scale that I take my readings. I dropped my ppm down to 770 this week. And I will be interested to see what my readings are at the end of the week. I am switching over to flower at the...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    I start at 1100 and usually wind up around 14. I've been running a little over 10% light on the nutes as is because I've read Sensi Star is very nute sensitive. So I guess this proves what I've read about that strain to be true. This last week I've just been topping off the reservoir with ph'd...

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Thanks. I am going to drop the nutes by 10% each Rez change until I find the sweet spot as far as concentration goes. I already use 10% less than called for, but this is the answer I was looking for. Thank, bud.

    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    I take measurements when changing my nutes every 6 days. Based on the readings, my plants are mostly drinking water. Ph is remaining pretty stable, but ppm is jumping up about 300 points, and the girls are drinking about a half gallon of h20
