Hello everyone new to site new to growing, that being said I dont know much about growing but have grown before 3 plants in high school
I dont post ever really shy guy but breaking the bearier.
Now that im all growned up and I just started for a company that grows the stuff the dream job so why not right. There's a lot of info so bear with me and I feel like they are doing a lot wrong
Let me begin we use coco(tuper)
General hydroponics
Micro...gro...bloom
Along with other added nutes
On a nine week cycle and we use the same nutrient mix for the plants whole cycle some plants dont seem to care others droop out and turn yellow some times
The water gets ph to 5.8 plants get fed every other day with some run off I've never measured how much but water comes out the bottom of the 3 gallon grow bag
Standard 4/8 aqua tray that they have 18 plants on and 15 trays per room
I dont know much about the cloning process or the transplanting process so heres what I know
They have us clean the plants as they come out of veg and call it lolly-popping getting all small stuff from the bottom about 6-8 inches from coco then week three they go through and do a clean up i.e. water leaves smaller armss not quite up to par(basically lolly-popping 12-15in from coco depending on the plant) Staking the arms so they.dont fall over and to open threw middle up then one more clean up on week 5 just a few water leaves save mostly a foot from the top depending on plant
Sometimes they don't get to do their clean up week 3 running behind a lot so plants get mistreated I.e. falling into each other breaking arms no light penetration through the conopy there's no visible mold or root rot thank goodness
I've been able to do some plant work and don't understand their ways and I suspect they don't understand either kinda like if it ain't broke don't fix it well I think its broken and could be fixed in a lot of ways
If we call the first shoot of a plant F1 and the next set of arms on the same plant F2
And let that grow another arm called F3 at the base of each of those arms is a water leaf depending on the number of F2 arms would it not be logical to cut the F3 at the base and leave a part of the node to grow from the water leaf basically my thought is a bud would grow there instead of another arm is that true or hogwash
