    Is Dry Back in coco really that damn important?

    I can move this plant anywhere, that's the beauty about the 5 gallon bucket SIP insert. Its actually only about 4 gal of medium roughly. 1 gal ish reservoir. I wouldn't exactly say the Coco is out of the picture though, the Coco is just sucking up the water inside the reservoir to keep it moist...

    Is Dry Back in coco really that damn important?

    The plant just slowly uses the nute water and drinks what it needs. The whole idea that Coco has to be "replenished" or have water poured through it to feed with nutes is a lie. What I did was transplant from solo cup into the sip, and top feed maybe 2-3 times until the roots hit the reservoir...

    Ohh gotcha ..I don't water it to runoff for the SIP.

    Is Dry Back in coco really that damn important?

    I bought these plant caddys off Amazon that have water catcher trays at the bottom. I water, smoke a Doobie for 30 min, come back and just empty the trays. Its very simple and very effective lol only downside is you can't use them if you have a low ceiling as they add a few inches to height.

    Is Dry Back in coco really that damn important?

    All depends on container size for Coco...Im doing 5 gallon 70/30 this round DTW and do every 3 day to runoff in veg and every other in flower. For a smaller pot, you'd obviously need to water daily, but I see absolutely no difference. I'm currently testing a plant with a SIP Grobucket attachment...

    Problems during flower

    Yet look at how your plants look...mine are healthy with healthy buds. But hey, keep doing what you're doing. Feed 4.5EC for all I care lol

    Problems during flower

    Drop to 1.2EC with a grow nutrient, drop all the other useless crap and you won't see this again.

    Second grow, to remove leaves or not ?

    Nah I wouldn't remove any fan leaves...they look healthy. You can remove small branches at the 1/3 bottom portion throughout the grow but I leave the fan leaves. I have 6 foot plants atm that still have all their lower fan leaves green at 7 weeks flower.

    Yellowing, end of wk 6, any ideas?

    Get rid of the RO...cal mag, all that junk. Get you some tap water and feed just "grow big" til the end. For soil I probably wouldn't feed every watering, maybe every other or every third at a moderate EC of 1-1.3. By doing this method, I've gone 11+ weeks of flower with zero yellowing. Most...

    How are these guys looking? ( roughly 2 weeks)

    You'd have to have a very large container of soil to get to harvest without fertilizing either dry or liquid ferts...so not a good idea unless you have the room.

    Gonna upgrade my lighting

    I see alot of people spending a fortune on lighting, equipment etc but their plants look like trash...make sure you're happy with your grows first before worrying about upgrading lights etc.

    How are these guys looking? ( roughly 2 weeks)

    Best advice I can give you...if you're using ocean forest, don't add ANY nutes for 1 week per gallon...so 5 gallon don't feed for atlwast 4-5 weeks. Plenty nutes in it already. Once you do begin to feed in soil, DO NOT feed what the chart says. Use their fox farm GROW BIG til the end, but only...

    Home Depot is a bad joke

    Only Coco I've ever bought from a box store was Ace Hardware. Since it became legal here in VA they started selling bags of the mother's earth coco and it's pretty nice. Def wouldn't use HD or Lowe's lol

    Cultiuana CT-660w & a 1 plant scrog

    I have an unpopular opinion that you should use veg nutrients to the end. What it does for me is keeps the sugar leaves and fan leaves completely green until they're done. The trick is to keep it at a low EC like 1.2-1.3. Everyone on here will jump on me about how the nitrogen in veg nutes...

    How much more yield with a good LED 1k vs 600 hps

    Id be more focused on environmental variables and nutrient feeding than hps vs led...they both work just fine. Im going to do a 600w HPS vs 600w led soon in the same room and compare.

    Tent Vs Room ??

    HIDs keep me easily 6-8 degrees warmer in my room. Since my basement is really cold I never have needed AC units or any of that, just some good airflow.

    Tent Vs Room ??

    I make my room out of panda film in my unfinished basement....I'll eventually get the whole basement finished and get a "true" room, but for now I just literally staple up panda film and make a room. Use a sticky zipper entrance and done. I stick to HID because with LED I can barely break 68-70...

    Leaves getting yellow stripes

    PH for hempies is easy...I literally just use the pH drops and make sure it's light yellow. I stay around 1.2EC from seed and just feed every couple days. I skip the si and cal mag...

    Leaves getting yellow stripes

    Get rid of the cal mag and silica...mix GH nutes to 1.1-1.3EC.
