You need the fan so the plant will respond to the breeze by strengthening its trunk/stems. Without it they won't be able to support their own weight when they get older.

5-10% bleach in water is plenty. But how do you figure this will have anything to do with a hermie problem?

I'm no expert, but it seems you have three possible solutions: 1) lower the floor, 2) raise the lights, 3) tie 'em down so they grow diagonally across the grow space. I think you'll only want to do this once, so make sure they are pulled low enough so you can finish without doing this again...

So he's trying to convince the plants that days are 17 hours long, not 24... this will be very interesting, as they have been growing on 24-hour days for millions of years... I'm eagerly awaiting the final results!

Wouldn't the yield have to be reduced by at least 5/12 (minimum), as you're cutting out 5 hours of light? That's almost 50%, I'm predicting more than that. Will be interesting.

2-2-2 and 1-1-1 have the same ratio, but 2-2-2 has twice as much of each. You could use twice as much 1-1-1 and get the same results as using 2-2-2.

The N-P-K numbers signify the ratio of the 3 macronutrients, but you control how much to add to a given volume of water. The actual numbers are the % (by weight) of each. For veg you want higher N, for flowering higher P. I'm going through some calculations now because I planted in MG soil...

Grubs are beetle larvae, and in my experience they never show up alone.
