    Second grow. Same issue

    Another vote for needing higher nutrient concentrations. Looks to me like your using pro-mix? I tend to run into nutrient deficiencies growing in pro-mix when my plants get too root bound and consequently dry out too much too often. Just a thought.

    Indoor soil beds

    Drill holes in the bottom. Fit some metal roofing underneath to catch water. Have roofing angled toward gutters, gutters collect and drain into whatever necessary. Disclaimer: Never done this just spitballing ideas as I'm thinking of doing something similar

    Pump Advice needed.

    Hey guys, I've just recently started setting up an automated watering system for my 2 room 15000w show. I grow in 10gal air pots and have been hand watering until now. My watering setup is going to be a simple drain to waste setup. I'm pumping from a 50 gallon rez with a float valve through...

    Coco grow. Leaves canoeing and tips turning light yellow. *PICS*

    Canoeing can be the result of high heat or too close to lamps. The plant is trying to dissipate moisture to cool off resulting in the leaves turning up. As for the yellowing it could be lots of things, potential over fertalizing. My plants from seed often get that yellowing thing going on when...

    Timers for Drain to waste automated system

    Hey nice setup...I would love to have the money to go with the halo's but I have 60 plants.

    Timers for Drain to waste automated system

    Hey all, Setting up an automated watering system for my 10gal smart pots. I have the system figured basically but I'm having problems finding a timer that can be put on to water every 2nd or 3rd day for 10min or whatever time I need to water properly. I found a timer that will do days of the...

    HELP! Plants showing bad symptoms! Yellowing and dying leaves.

    Do this....Was chasing a mysterious yellowing of the leaves problem for a while. Looked like either N def or Cal/mag def. Turns out..............root aphids....

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    You don't need to be a molecular biologist to be able to cook a meal nor do you need to be a botanist to grow a plant, understanding to innermost detail of what is going on is great and all but doesn't mean your right. I really wish you could see the grows and yields I've seen from guys that...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Your a funny guy, you think I've never grown without defoliation? Have you ever tried defoliating? probably not yet you continue to say stupid shit like this. I used to think like you guys, more fan leaves = more photosynthesis = more bud. When I started growing SOG style 300 plants under...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Us guys? like were some coalition for defoliation...ha. Ya were all one team that got together to prove how great defoliation is. Your lost and confused. It's not some forum fallacy btw, I learned about defoliation from experienced growers getting phenomenal g's per watt that don't bother...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Ok, What's your point? You can grow nice buds too, but those are outside with no space limitations. Shows me I really think your missing the point Ben, of course fan leaves produce energy for the plant. Every person who defoliates understands that. The point is that, when properly done it is...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Every plant yield has to do with genetics, just like all your posts trying to prove how awesome your growing is. It's all genetics, how you control your plant to suit your growing environment and maximize your potential yield is up to the grower.

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Really looks like you lost a lot of potential yield by defoliating. Tsk tsk.....What were you thinking?

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    Ya I get that, I'm a believer in science as well, but the point I'm trying to make is that science can't explain everything and is proven wrong all the time, world was flat ect ect.... I do agree science proves and explains a lot when it come to growing cannabis but when a scientific article on...

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    Thats like me saying "you think god put those nice branches on your apple tree's for you to just prune them off?" silly arguement, we manipulate plants in all sorts of ways to get what we want out of them. Fair enough, you will not convince me with scientific articles when I have personally...

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    Actually I am, it's no scientific study but it sure is easy to take a couple of plants, strip the fans leaves off, leave the rest and see how it effects the growth. I recommend trying it. What the hell does an advocado plant have to do with an indoor grow? let alone a singular tree outside in...

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    I firmly believe that if you've never tried defoliating you can't say shit whether it's good or not. How could you know how it effects marijuana plants if you've never seen it or tried it? No one is saying it's a guaranteed bet that if you pull the fan leaves off you'll get more yield. It's...

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    Instead or reading and studying scientific articles on botany I'll spend my time actually studying and reading MY plants. Growing shit is easy, stick it in the ground - water it. You don't need to be a scientist or a botanist. Being high and mighty and showing off your intelligence doesn't make...

    Fan Leafs. Blockers of Light Or Energy Producers???

    The last couple pages are about as useful as my nipples. Just some sniveling and cock competitions instead of actually discussing reasonably whether defoliating can help. I've never heard of a person who has actually experimented with defoliating say that it had negative effects, a lot of guys...
