General rule is 1Gal of pot per month of growth. If you want to veg for a month and flower, then a 3 Gal pot. Basically you are just stripping up the main branch(s) to allow some air flow over the soil. There are some added benefits when doing this in the beginning of flower. It allows air flow...

C02 isn't that expensive really. $125 for the regulator. You can buy a cheap timer for $10 and set it to come on ten minutes every two hours or whatever. There are calcs that will get you into the ballpark. The tank deposit is $100 and $15 to refill. I refill about every 30 days. So once you...

What you have is the lights hitting a surface and heating it up. Much like the sun does to the pavement. That in turn transfers heat to the room air. First it's hard to compare rooms. He could have his temp gauge in the shade or lower to the floor. I run a sealed basement room with 3 1000's...

I'd much rather take my power bill payment away from the power grid monopoly and build equity with it.

You need a grid tie system which is a power inverter that converts the DC solar panel output to your AC system. I have been looking into as well. I just think it is ironic converting sun into electricity only to convert it back into fake sun for my plants.

Yeah, If you are doing a soilless grow that lime will mess your PH. You want a PH in the low 6s. Preferably around 6.2. Soiless is really a pseudo hydro. The pics look like nutrient burn however.

Foxfarm is a 0.7 conversion not a 0.5. So a reading of 500ppms is actually 700ppms. You should be using the 442 setting on your ppm meter if available. Also. The lower your PH the more MG becomes unavailable.

Juicing a nugget is a waste unless you decarb the bud first. The nug contains THC. Your body uses Delta-9 THC. You must apply heat in order to change the molecule before it will affect you. Here is a chart.

The problem with testing runoff: The soil is a random variable. You have the plant sucking in nutrients and water at different rates which changes the PH. You have microbial activity, 100s of different soil mixes, and many other factors. Imo. PH the stuff going in and ignore the runoff. And...

I would of used some perlite in your soil mix. They look a bit soggy.

Cannabis is an annual. Meaning they seed out before winter and die.

I run 13 pheno's in my horizontal. I guess I like variety of smoke. The pros are I don't have to harvest all at once. I can take a week because some finish at 56 days and some take up to 62 days.

Could add C02..

I don't understand. Where are you moving these plants? From veg to flower room? Are you digging them up from outside and bringing them inside? Details.

Looks like nutrient burn to me in the second photo.
