    Root bound? Can i still save it?

    The basis here is to have 4 branches with smaller sub branches growing off of it. These 4 branches growing off of your stalk will be known as your main branches. Any branch growing off of a main is called a sub branch. Any branch growing off of a sub is a secondary branch. (take notes. I...

    Root bound? Can i still save it?

    Im not trying to be rude but you are training that wrong. Flat out. I train plants the same way you do and you are litterally making your plant grow sideways. The goal is to not grow it side ways but to still grow it up while stretching the plant out sideways. @Gary Goodson is correct. You are...

    what ttpe of gear have you made?

    Fun topic for the day, whats the most creative or most useful piece of equipment you've made on your own to mimick something else, or to have a tool for which they dont make yet? For instance. I made a gravity drip for a slow feed on plants out of a 5 gallon bucket, some brass fittings, super...

    The flush "myth"

    So being kind of a noobie here i usually tend to skim through threads from time to time trying to get ideas and snippets of information. One that I have seen pop up multiple times is that flushing is a myth and its about money for nut companies and ect. Now. I pray this doesnt turn into a...

    Growing in coco soil

    If youre using nutes and tap water you may likely never have an "issue" without phing. I didnt even do it properly my first run and still did pretty well. That being said, if you dont ph it could cause issues down the line, and proper ph allows your plant to drink better.

    Does BENDING fan LEAVES promote growth during seedling stage, HELP ?! YAY OR NAY ?

    I mean directly as in the actual act of bending and stressing a plant to sit in that position. That actual portion of it if anything is what stresses the plant. But that being said the leaves sitting flat like that is what is benificial. You could in theory tie everything flat and get the same...

    1st grow underway how's it looking?

    Off to a very good start in my eyes. Now go obsess over it like the rest of us did on our first grows. On my first one id get done for the day go to walk out and just stop and stare with this big grin on my face like "I did this." Almost every time.

    Does BENDING fan LEAVES promote growth during seedling stage, HELP ?! YAY OR NAY ?

    This is a two part answer. Yes and no. No it will not promote leaf growth DIRECTLY because youre doing this. BUT if you in theory bend all of the leaves at the perfect angle to catch the most light then well, more light, more growth. In Theory.

    Does BENDING fan LEAVES promote growth during seedling stage, HELP ?! YAY OR NAY ?

    If your fan leaves are flat and you arent snapping them or stressing them too hard you should be fine. Just be careful and dont snap it off. And if you do, learn from your mistakes. Good luck
