I'm tryin, I swear the genetics make it look like I know wtf I'm doing lolLooking good in here @tobh!
I dont have much info on crop steering. More toying with it. The info I did get came from @Dirtbag@Aqua Man @1diesel1 @MIMedGrower one of you (maybe all of you) were in a thread a few months ago mentioning steering plant growth per plant growth phase by manipulating different parameters. I can't for the life of me remember where that info was though.
With the approach of week six, I'm looking to plot out the next three to four weeks for an as-successful-as-one-could-wish-for finish to my first hydro endeavor. Would any of you, or anyone else for that matter, be able to link a brotha up with some good reads? Preferably science-y content, there's plenty of garbage stoner blogs that spew a bunch of, well, garbage about the topic. I'm after empirical data, if you know what I mean.
My google searches are turning up bullshit, and apparently my keywords aren't jiving with the search here.
You're a gentleman and a scholar. That's the man I need to pester.I dont have much info on crop steering. More toying with it. The info I did get came from @Dirtbag
He's the man who you go to when you have a complicated question.You're a gentleman and a scholar. That's the man I need to pester.
@Dirtbag gimme the deets. Crop steering, how do i do the do? Good links to good docs, please?!
I'm 14 hours burnt on highly technical shit (day job) and three glasses deep in whisky so I tagged the smartest fuckers I could remember on here lol @Aqua Man giving me the right term to search for has been much more productive in search results. Now that I'm digging into it, it might be a "next time" thing.He's the man who you go to when you have a complicated question.

Really, my main concern at this point is should I be bumping up the EC for the next couple weeks (progressively) until week 8, then progressively drop EC to 0 by harvest?
If I follow 90% of the guides, at this stage EC should be at 2.2, but that's insane to me. By week 8, it should be at 2.5, absolutely unspeakable to me. I'm thinking top out at 2.0 by week 8, then taper rapidly until week 10, then the plants will be ready for teh chop chop.
Fundamentally, what is the timing for reducing feed in late flower in RDWC for an adequate fade (flush without the snake oils) without devastating yield? How can I "steer" these plants to maximum potential within the constraints of their circumstances?
This run has predominantly been about justifying the obscene amount of money I've spent on grow gear -- I need weight and frost equally. I know these girls are going to bulk up a lot more by then, but if I can get em to weigh like they've been juicing, that'd be ideal. Arnold buds, ya know?
Awesome! Thank you for writing this out, that's exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, sir!Calm down on the nutes, less it almost always better. By mid flower i almost NEVER go over 1.3 ec in any media. I dont use Co2.
Ill keep it at 1.2-1.3ec and monitor runoff ppm. Usually around week 6 or 7 ill notice it stops eating as much and runoff numbers climb. So ill back it off to 1.1-1.0.. and taper it to .7 or so by the end of week 8. Once the buds look like theyre mostly done, i just give them 2 or 3 feeds of plain water over the course of 10 days, give or take a few days. Less in hydro or coco, maybe a couple weeks in soil. But, that topic is still being debated even amongst the sciency types as far as I know. Im not a scientist, just a homegrower but from what little ive done to experiment Im still partial to water only finishes.
LMAO I have been sitting down to feed or whatever and smell that funk! I've been thinking its because I've just been working all day and need a new pair of socks!I keep having to check myself, thinking I've got some funk that I missed when showering. Can't rule that out, but it's likely the girls.
Haha glad I'm not alone. The struggle is real, man. Like Redman said in How High, dudes got some shit on his lip. Not sure if it's my finger or the girls in the tent, but I'll deal with it either way.LMAO I have been sitting down to feed or whatever and smell that funk!

That white might actually be a mutation with extra trichomes. i swear i saw a video of this and they tested it and it was significantly higher in thc. I just don't remember where or when i saw the video and its not in my history. Memory is fuzzy... may be the concentrate i'm vaping
Those shots look great! Especially the establishing shot. That's one that I find extremely difficult to get in detail because the camera's dynamic range is far less wide than the what the human eye can take in.
So like I said, the wide shot - you nailed it but I think you would agree that the close up shots, while good, are missing something.
And I don't think your issue is gear.
Focus more on composition, framing. Get in tight, and fill up the frame.
The bud shot was done with 2x, actually. But like I said, my tremors fuck it up because when looking at the scale of a trichome, even a nanometer of movement while the shutter is doing its thing is going to blur out the detail. I'm thinking that can be overcome by doing multilayer editing, and really sharpening up the contrast with high pass filters, proper level adjustments, and generally good quality edits.Also, pay attention to the angles and make a note of the angle of light vs the sharp edges of the plant that cast shadows onto the juicy crystalline bud structure below.
One thing that makes this easier for me is zooming in to 2x which should increase the focal length of your lens . Any further on my phone and things start to get pixelated and artifacts appear because it starts to digital zoom past that I think. YMMV
When you increase the focal length you also get a really cool compression of the foreground (bud) and the background. You also get those nice pleasing out of focus backgrounds because of this and better separation of your subject.
