i wouldnt top or fully supercrop in flower but you can bend and tie down branches that are getting to tall to keep an even canopy and reduce stretch.
I'm not sure. We were just going by what a friend had recommended. After looking at coco pH charts, I suppose it seemed best to keep it in the 5.8-6.0 range because of availability of phosphorous, calcium, and magnesium. I am very new to this though and would love to hear your take on it.Would it be better to start your ph at at higher level like 6.2-6.3 and then decrease to a 5.8-5.9 as flowering progresses for the higher potassium, phosphorus, and potash intake levels? I've always done the opposite of what your doing, I always drift down in flower and drift up in veg...5.8-5.7 starts lockin out some of the flower specific minerals IMO
Thanks. Like i said, we are still under construction raising the roof and adjusting different things since we just added more lights and are still figuring out the best efficiency for cooling our room.awesome set up :)
I will try the foliar feed. I have been intending to try some foliar feeds but haven't had time to read about it much.Foliar spray the plant that looks cal/mag def with some calmag(5ml) and some wetting agent . I even tea mix it with a good water soluble brand of liquid kelp(10ml) I use xtreme serene & ancient amber (5-10ml) it's a nitrogen supplement . Make sure to mix it thoroughly and get a good wetting agent ( I use humboldt sticky ) ph correct at 6-6.5
If it was me I would spray a few and see how it goes, I've done it multiple times and it show a huge difference for me and I use it compare to just relying on root drenching ur medium .
Spray 30-45 minutes before lights or right after.now have u been in ur grow rooms when the lights are off? Cause any light including little led indicater lights can disrupt ur cycles and cause stress.
I don't believe so. I just turned on the central heat for the whole house. We don't have a heater for the grow room- haven't needed it until now. I suppose i could try putting the exhaust fans on timers so that they aren't on 100% the whole time the lights are off.. Previously, we had the exhaust blowing back into our house to heat the rest of the house during veg, but with 4 lights now, we had to vent outside.can you program the heat to turn on at a certain time? are you using a dehumidifier? i have my dehuey turn on at lights off and it keeps my ladies nice and warm.
Thanks. Makes sense. We'll give it a try.if you set the dehuey for 60% and turn it on it will still produce heat without really dropping rh at least in my setup perhaps adding a small humidifier and turning on the dehuey could give you the balance you need and get ya a lil closer to 50% rh while helping w temps just a thought havent done this myself but have seen it on here
I was also thinking that i could put both of my 8" fans on separate timers so that i could have them both running during lights on, and when lights go out, either only have one on the whole time, or inter change the two fans every 5, 10, 15 minutes or what not so that only one is on at a time. That way, I would only have 50% of my exhaust working while the lights are off.
