    Any advice on how I could better train these current plants?

    Problems with yield

    My lights are 1000 watt HPS. I have 3 of them in flower with 6 pots under each. In the veg room I have 1 1000 watt HPS with 18 pots under it. Rosco that seems like a great yield and your canopy looks awesome!

    Problems with yield

    I would prefer not to use a net/scrog unless it is a last resort. Space is really tight and it was quite a nightmare the few times I have done scrog in this room.

    Problems with yield

    How do you do arrange the plants and stems when doing lst? I am quite familiar with it and use lst along with topping but have the greatest amount of trouble with getting everything to take up an equal amount of space and stay at the same height. My veg and flower room are separate so I have...

    Problems with yield

    I have been growing for a while and have not been getting the yield that I should be. The one thing I am not good at is training, thinning out and arranging everything efficiently under the lights. My setup is 6 grow and flow buckets under a 1000 watt light with a magnum xxxl reflector. I...

    Strange Issues With Ph

    I checked the bucket of old solution and new solution and they both had a ph of 5.7. I'm thinking it has to be something in the system that is decaying but whatever it is, is in all 3?

    Strange Issues With Ph

    As far as nutes go, that is about the only thing that I have not yet checked. I went and bought 3 new bottles of nutes today. I mixed the old in a 5 gallon bucket and mixed the new in a 5 gallon bucket. They had the same ph of 5.8. I am going to check them both in the morning and see if...

    Strange Issues With Ph

    I am growing in flood and drain buckets with hydroton and using GH nutrients. I use RO water and just changed the filters and membrane in the last 3 weeks. Normally I can control my ph by the strength of my nutrients and when everything is good the ph slowly climbs and the ppm stays about the...

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    My reservoir is the 60 gallon barrel that comes with the grow n flow system. I have got my ppm very stable at 780. Every morning I set my ph to 5.3 by adding a lot of ph down in the orange bag. The next day when I check the ph rises to 6.5. I have repeated this cycle for awhile now. I am...

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    I have a bluelab ph and ppm meter thay I use to measure everything. fatawa.. thats an awesome analogy and makes perfect sense!

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    I have slowly brought the ppm's down to 780. They are stable here and go down about 10 ppm every day. My pH is really becoming an issue now however. I set it at 5.4 and by the next day it is up to 6.5. I'm going through a ton of pH Down.

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    Ok, sounds good. Any idea why the ph is going up instead of down? When I start lowering the PPM I will really have to watch it as I suspect it will go up even faster.

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    My setup was definitely dialed in as far as ph and ppm before using the additive. I will try lowering the ppm. Could you or anyone provide an explanation of why adding the real growers recharge bacteria and fungi has caused my ph and ppm to change so much?

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    Ok, thanks. I have chemicals to adjust the ph but have never had to use them as the ph and ppm have always behaved perfectly without adjustment until I started using the real growers recharge. I would just discontinue it to solve the ph and ppm problem but the RGRC really makes a big difference...

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    The water level is dropping the same as it normally does. The res is 60 gallons so the level drops pretty slowly. Its not dropping fast like it would if they were overfed.

    Ph And Ppm Both Rising

    I am using GH nutrients in an ebb n flow system. I am using reverse osmosis water. The only new additive that I am using is real Growers recharge. I am one week into flower and my PPM is 900 and my pH is up to 6.4. Normally at one week into flower when I change my reservoir the PPM is at 850 and...

    Critical Sensi Star Help

    one drop, that looks similar to what I do when I take all of the lower growth off of mine. I usually only have about 6 growing tips per plant though. it looks like you have a lot more. do you do any more pruning once they start to flower? I normally do not other than pick off any growth that...

    Do you leave all fan leaves intact on the yop 4-5 nodes?

    Critical Sensi Star Help

    how much would you prune? I would say that most of the fan leaves are blocking some part of a budsite somewhere. how much growth would you remove from the bottoms of the plants? the plants seem very bushy as opposed to growing tall buds they seem to want to grow many popcorn buds everywhere.
