Temporarily dimming the light in the room won't cause that to happen. Absolutely WILL NOT, so don't be troubled by it. Interrupting the dark cycle might, though... All we're doing in this scenario is eliminating some heat sources for a couple of hours to get the temp back down. It's kind of an...

You're right, in a standard setup about a week and a half is the normal lifespan of a res. I've gotten away with topping up with nutrient solution rather than water, but never for very long. Here's the deal: the bigger the res, the longer it lasts, the more stable it is. If you were to use a...

For what it's worth, if this happens again (and it will, 'cause that's what ACs do) the first thing I'd do is shut off half the lights until the temp stabilizes, which will happen faster than if all the lights were on. Trust me, the plants will still get plenty of light and nothing weird will...

Root rot is not a problem for me, as I live in a cooler climate. In the winter I have to use an aquarium heater to keep the res up to temp, and in the summer it's perfect (we only have two seasons here lol). I use a ph controller (worth every damn penny) that keeps it between 5.9 and 6.1. I wind...

Thanks for your input, everybody. DWC is new-ish to me, and has required learning/using some pruning techniques that are also new-ish. A scrogged plant is not pruned like one that stands upright, that's for sure. I don't think light's an issue in my room, they get plenty of it, but temps...

I don't mean to interrupt, but I think the STRAIN "Malberry" is not directly related to the discredited person/people of the same name. Malberry (Malawi Gold x Blueberry) is offered by Afropips; it's their Malawi Gold "Combined with the short bushy 19% THC Blueberry 2000 Cup Winner (IBL)."...

I don't mean to interrupt, but I think the STRAIN "Malberry" is not directly related to the discredited person/people of the same name. Malberry (Malawi Gold x Blueberry) is offered by Afropips; I've no idea if they're affiliated, or the same people, or whatever, but I HOPE not, because I have a...

OK, things I want to make... Got some DJS Blueberry a while back. Three are growing in beer cups atm, they just got their first set of leaves. I'm assuming the one that's 4 times the size of the others is a male lol. Those seeds came with a pack of extras: Malberry (Malawi Gold x Blueberry)...

I'm all ears!

Say what you will, Clarence, I've got a couple of plants that don't produce like they used to, and whose hermie tendencies have become more pronounced over the years to the point that they are being replaced as we speak. The Diesel Maui Dawg x Hazy OG in particular... Maybe you guys haven't led...

This DWC also seems to call for a bit of pruning, at least with this Blue DreamxCheesequake I'm working with. The present round has been pruned a bit better than some others. Maybe that will affect the quantity of bigger, denser ones, in the sense that not only will it be free to devote more...

Gorgeous. I germinated three DJS blueberries that got planted into red beer cups last night. I've never grown it before, and I am THRILLED. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure! I hope you'll keep posting pics as they mature. I've read an awful lot on here about pheno hunting with...

Hi, all. Longtime listener, first time caller... I've grown a number of ways, in a number of places. Dirt, coco, dirt/coco mixes in pots, both hand watered and not; rockwool cubes on flood and drain tables; coco slabs; flood and drain buckets, with coco and with hydro rocks; etc. At present...

They're probably good to go, then. As long as they look healthy. If they look sad and droopy, wait til they stand back up. I'd water them with some b vitamin a few hours before transplanting, and I'd water them in with the same water (with b vitamin in it.) It seems to help with the shock...

Not necessarily a waste of time. It depends on your space, goals, lighting and time frame. With six hundred or thousand watt lights, I like to have 9 plants per light that finish around 3-4 feet tall. That means they get flipped into 12/12 at anywhere from 1 to 2 feet, maybe even a little...
