@Star Dog That would be interesting to test and see if lollipopping has any effect on stretch. I think certainly the root mass will continue to grow as it expands it’s foliage so you definitely have something there. Also, if you wait to strip them until after the stretch, you can get a better...

@calvin.m16 My system is a double trellis SCROG. The first screen is pvc frame with screws to stretch and attach 6” square fabric trellis netting, they are trained outwards as they grow through that one first. The branches are spread and tied if necessary. And, yes, the second plastic trellis...

@Star Dog thanks for pointing that out. Here is a picture from a few days later with the lollipopping finished on the lowers. I did wait a bit longer than a should’ve this round lol bongsmilie

Over the last year I’ve been working with a ‘floating scrog’ which I saw first on Instagram. It’s constructed using PVC tubing and hung via rope ratchets. Works very well and adjustable height. Recently added the secondary trellis above by simply attaching it to the rope above using rubber ties...

@Gardenator thanks for the detailed post! First I’ve heard of using red pepper, generally I’ve seen habanero. I had wondered if it affected anything post harvest but happy to hear it doesn’t stick around. Will have to give this a try sometime

Regarding Hot Shot No Pest strips, which contain dichlorvos. This I think would be last option in late flower when nothing else can be utilized or in veg as a part of IPM. But considering the amount of debate on the safety of this product, I think this study shows it might be a safer option...

Source Have been researching these quite a bit and since there is controversy over these thought I’d post for more information. These seem even safer than previously thought for our plants considering how quickly they dissipate as found here in this study.

@panhead still around?

@welight I appreciate the response Mark! What might the options be for the violet/UV diodes which you could add to your Sol-Skin boards? SemiLed? From my research Cree is no longer making UV diodes, but I'm not an expert so an opinion from one would be great. Great thinking about the...

@qballizhere - Thanks for the response and providing some new information (to me at least) about the Luminus cxm22. I try to read as much as possible but with LED the learning process is never done. My real interest is in the mid power Samsung LM561C diodes (or the unreleased Cree NX...

Hey guys, any new thoughts on the Citizen 048-1825 vs. the Citizen 048-1825? @qballizhere - you make a strong argument for the 1818's due to pricing and small gains in PPFD. GrowMau5 has been a great mentor for learning much over the last year, but he doesn't hit much on these and is still...

Keep em' coming looking great. Have you compared results from the vertical light hanging compared to standard overhead? I feel like the lower buds would receive much more light but you must rotate plants a lot?

These two plants have been flowering for 63 days now and I am thinking they have about another week or so left before I harvest. They are Seedsman Mama Mia and Sensi Seeds Super Skunk. As you can see they received nutrient burn from my General Hydroponics FloraNova, that stuff is super...

I have often come across the phrase that suggests to "have a fan circulating the air but not pointed directly on the buds" while drying, so I figured I would keep the fan in the bottom of the cabinet. The fan is at a very low speed so it should not be too much air movement hopefully, but the...

Do any of you keep your fans and/or dehumidifier on a timer that allows the buds to sit without any air circulation for a period of time while drying? I was thinking this process may allow some of the moisture to be redistributed in the buds while the fans are off for a period of 2-4 hours or...
