I really can't believe how well this is going. Absolutely perfect leaves from the bottom to the top. Buds are forming out nicely. Leaves are frosting up. Wish I had a screen or a frame so I could open up the center of the plants a bit more, but maybe I'll set up a ring or two this weekend. PPFD is maxed out at about 1200 in center and 950 at edges. Nute concentration is the same as last week. Bumped up the pH from 5.3 to 5.7 to mix it up a bit. Nute ratio is 1.25 MegaCrop Part A, 0.85 Calcium Nitrate, 0.1 Epsom, and .65 Urea. Made a concentrated mix on the stir plates, then added to reservoir until total EC was 1.9. 5/11 - very slight burnt tips. Dialed it back to 1.80EC and 5.6pH. Same nutes. Lollypopped both plants today, but left a couple of the lower buds that were monsters and had good access to light. Supercropped the two mains on Zoey. Left Twiggy alone (for now.) Note to self: 11.6oz wet trim and larf this AM

Grow Questions

Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

I'm 4 weeks into flower. Plant is super healthy and bushy. Want to thin it down. Can I take some cuttings to clone? Should I put the cuttings back to 18/6 or keep them at 12/12?

Hello. Yes you can take clones almost anytime in the plants life, except the end. They need to go back to 18/6. It is best to take clones just before you switch to flower. the more a plant goes in and out of flowering it looses a bit of vigor. Most strains can go back and forth only a few times before it's not that strong anymore. Also beware that the clone taken in flowering will show weird mutated leaves for a while and it won't be ready for flowering again for at least a month before you get normal leaves out of it and it's gone back to veg. There is a big struggle with the hormones when you take clones in flowering and wanting them to go to veg.. So expect some strange growth before going back to veg. Good luck. Chuck.

How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

always crank out the light if you can ride it out. thing is wierdness starts happening for example you need a lot more calcium and magnesium. the way you're feeding right now, you would have to change quite a lot of the "hands off approach" like you might need to start spraying the leafs with cal mag, monitor it more closely etc. totally worth it especially at the begning and middle of flower, just start turning it down quite a lot towards the chop, get that taste in there. Hope this helps ! 🚀
