I aim for a long cool day before chop rather than 24-48hrs dark

Never foliar feed anything

I reuse all my runoff

I defoliate the ever living snot out of my plants
Gonna do it

1 for clones maybe dont priortize it or go out of my way, 2 spraying the plants/tent for humidity, but nutes in water.

starting to do it

day 1 lol

I've topped every Autoflower I have grown...usually throw in a couple a year or have in the past

All my water/nutes get carried upstairs 5 gals at a time...and the runoff gets carried back down 🤪

I've used urine for N a few times when I was using 1 part Megacrop...

This would be more fun if we show pics of the grow with the rules we don’t follow.🙂
Ok grown with noting added to the Pro-Mix bx 👍
P1710637

not nice after 130days but 1000seeds and noting added to the pro-mix

i'm not strict about pH. so long it falls somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0, i don't fret much over it.

i hardly ever check EC. Knowing what weight of nutrients does to a target volume of water alleviates the need to be keep a close eye on it.

i use only city tap water in my res -- no RO system, the only filtration that happens is at the inline filter in the feed pipe.

i also do not aerate my res. 5ml/gal 34% h2o2 is enough DO for how quickly the res is used.

at some point i'll get back to running recirculated like @Dirtbag. For now I can only manage DTW though.

Dry sift. When you break a plant down and only get 2-6% back you start thinking numbers and how to up that shit.
I'm curious how you are coming up with the math behind that. 80g per square inch is heavy, not lead heavy, but about twice as heavy as a cubic inch of aluminum. i just don't see that number being realistic without serious compression or further extraction to up the numbers, which still directly correlate with genetics and overall flower yield.

100% serious about this question as I was blown away by getting a bit over 7 grams of dry sift from trimming 1.24 lbs -- didn't expect it, i figured there was probably 3 grams. the plants it came from lived in about a 2ft x 4ft area (half my grow tent). if there's a way to bump that number up without decimating the quality of the flower, I'm eager to hear it.

The short answer is cropsteering. Keeping better data and staying on top of the grow.

You got guys on insta smashing grows by adding higher number of plants, stronger feeds, timed trimmings, keeping that vpd and Dli in check adjusting as needed.

Check out Aroya and Wolverine grows man they are giving free game to those with ears and those who are listening and applying are smashing.

Also I know it sounds silly but floraflex did a huge work on cropsteering and most that follow are killing it.

see my signature, crop steered my last grow ;)

No I know which is why I laughed at your doubt on the other thread when I saw your last grow. I really feel if you keep at it and get numbers up you gonna be hitting numbers you doubt yourself soon.
