    DIY Rain Canopy

    Does anyone have experience building a makeshift rain cover for Sept/Oct...or does such a thing exist for growers out of the box? I'm not trying to build a greenhouse or anything elaborate, just looking to prop up a 10' x 10' canopy kind of thing with a clear tarp so the plants can still get sun...

    Better than mainline/manifold. “Pin Wheel” training method

    So after topping, instead of bending the branches straight down above the fan leaf directly below like I usually do, I tied them off to the side, centered between 2 large fan leaves. By not blocking the fan leaves below I will get much more light absorption. I plan to continue doing this all the...

    Just wanna give a update to all. I've had many questions over the past couple months. Living in a state were its illegal, it doesnt give you many options when trying to find answers, to any problems, that I've encountered. Rollitup has without a doubt been a life saver.

    Plant leaf trim?

    Young plant seems all over the place, preventing canopy penetration. Should I trim any leaves to open it up? Under 400w HPS w/ supplemental lights.

    How strong and what height should i run those quantum boards (knock off qb288 v2 lm301b x 4 @ 500w build) at different stages? I'll put my first seeds in soil soon and don't know how much power should i use or how high should i hang them from the cups. I don't have other lights i could use...

    Possible bud elongation above SCROG beyond 3 weeks?

    I'm wondering if I grew too horizontally. How long might buds grow above the canopy after stretch? Do buds only fill into the stretch zone downward or do they actually elongate additionally upward from week3 into week8+? I have three hybrids (Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Chocolate Grape...

    Lux at the canopy?

    hi, new/old member here. Im running (4) 5500K 55watt CFL's right now in veg for a few plants and i read/heard somewhere that what mattered for light was how many LUX that canopy is getting and that it should be at LEAST 20,000 LUX. Is this true? I just checked with a phone app and im...

    CMH Effective Distance?

    For my next grow, I plan on going with Northern Lights #5 x Haze. From what I understand, the plant can stretch quite a bit with a large main cola. My grow light is a 315W CMH. I keep it approximately 18 inches away from the canopy. Does anyone happen to know what distance my light would be...

    Common Sense is gone. Defoliation and canopy management

    So I have this theory that many people who cultivate cannabis overthink the process entirely and are fucking idiots :o I've seen individuals pay $500+ for nutrient regimes, $2000+ on their grow rooms, and thousands on whatever other equipment they need, then have a foot wide hole in their canopy...

    Light Distance from Canopy

    Alright, I just got myself a Blockbuster reflector for my 3' x 3' x 6'11" tent. Before I return it, I figured I'd ask a question here and see if anyone smarter than me could help me out. The issue I'm having is that the reflector is too big to allow for much ducting. It almost reaches from one...

    Growing with LED Lights / Canopy Distance

    How close can I have the LED light to the canopy of my plants on a SOG. Is 18 to 24 inches ideal, or can it be closer?

    Distance to Plants for CREE CXB3590 (@1650mA, w/ Lenses)

    This is not my first grow but I am seeing really weird stuff since I switched from Marshydro 300W to my 4x CXB3590. Plants have TONS of white/yellow spots which at 1st look like mites but I am 99,99% sure it's no bugs. Plants also feel crumbly dry, and some of the plants simply don't look...
