Wow you guys answering questions let this one slip by. Your grow looks great looks like you figured out all the advantages of using them by the size of those buds without burning them. Have a great harvest!👍👍

Depends. Were you going to dry in your grow tent or in another space? If in your tent theni would harvest all of em so your tent can be dark for the dry. Light can fuck up the dry. If you have another good dark space for drying, feel free to stagger the harvest. I personally do a bit of both wet and dry. I trim all the huge leaves wet and then dry before trimming the small sugar leaves. It also depends on your environment which is best. If your drying area is humid a wet trim will probably help dry a little faster. If your drying area is less humid then a dry trim would keep the buds from drying out too quickly. So its kind of personal preference. Maybe dry trim some and wet trim others?

Do a bit more training and lollipoping. You want all that energy near the top. You can scrog to which I did I got 10 ounces off one plant. I can't see your nutrients but using the proper nutrients is key. Also lights to but need to keep right distance. To much light can slow bud growth dramatically. Also using organic black strap molasses last 2 weeks of flowering will definitely help swell her.

Plants look great, nice and tall. What a commitment to veg amd flower for that lenght of time. For what it's worth, I run 1100 watts of Vero gen 7 cobbs in a 5 x 5 tent. Not only do they do a stellar job and plants finish slightly faster. Happy growing and cheers

@CollectiveSol123, I got a 480 w quantum board led light works amazing for only like 400 bucks going threw alibaba. Its coming from china i think but man its sooooo much cheaper. I think normally a 480w quantum board light would be like 700 to a 1000 usd. An im in shity wisconson lol so they ship to the states. Mite be worth checking out if u wana deck ur tent out with great ass lights. These QB lites make some super dense frosty buds.

@CollectiveSol123, nice sized tent. I ordered mine from Timber Grow, they were kits and I made a frame and assembled them. Not sure if they still sell them. If you're handy, I'd personally would do a DIY led cobb set up. I think they are the shit. Check homegrownpro website, he has some info. Do alot of research and look for deals. If you know what you are looking for I'd order straight from china. Tons of information on the internet and Instagram. Good luck and happy growing! Cheers

@BarrieGrower, Thank you!!! I needed that..its been a real labor of love for us..definitely looking to get better lights..our tent is 4x8..what would you recommend for a 800-900.00 investment??? We are in US

Hey, I don’t recommend you flushing to a Ph of 7.0 , now that’s nute lock lol. For soil, you need to stay between 6.2-6.5. For soil, try starting at 1/3 strength EVERY OTHER WATERING. DO NOT, feed every time. It will burn your plants. Looking at the plants, it’s not really ph locked. Also, do not over water. The brown spots could be overwatering and the water not leaving the pots good. Also, please add some beneficial microbes such as mycorrhizae. It will help your plants uptake nutes better and your roots will have better foundation. PLEASE invest in a good Ph meter and PPM reader (not those 20dollar ones but like 60-100 dollar ph/ppm pen). You won’t regret it. It is a good investment. And yes you need to test out the ph and ppm of the water you’ve drained. Your plants look like it can handle 400-600 ppm. Please measure the ppm and ph of the nute water you’re giving and and then test the run off water. I’m sorry I am trying to answer you on the previous comments as well (I didn’t see my bad) Fox farm is amazing. Are you using fox farm soil? Their trio lining is good. REMEMBER: during vegetation you need : HIGH:Nitrogen LOW:Phosphorous HIGH: POTASSIUM DURING FLOWERING: you need LOW nitrogen, HIGH PHOS, HIGH POTASSIUM. They will love you if you can start experimenting and perfecting what kind of main minerals they need. Without them your plants won’t grow optimally. Since you’re using soil based, please chill on the cal mag nutrients. Also you mentioned NICU, you must be an RN. Only healthcare workers use the term NICU, if not ICU nurses. Cheers and let me know if you need help.

Will follow directions..flush with 6.2 water..I did get product called ph up.. I'm already mixed up a gallon with nutrients do I test that water as well as plant run off water? And can I treat the plant water that already has the nutrients to bring ph up from 4.0 to 6.2? How often do you guys water your plants with nutrients added? Right now I am using Fox farms kelp me kelp you..tiger bloom and big bloom..help.

Hi @CollectiveSol123! I am using LED panels made of SMD diodes, the "LM301B" diodes by samsung which have been proven to be really efficient. That being said, your issues are not related to your lighting setup. Your plant is unable to manage nutrient intakes due to a very low pH in the rootzone, such low pH litterally stops the roots from eating nutrients. Because of this acidic pH all over the rootmass, Nitrogen / Calcium / Magnesium and other essential micro-nutrients are blocked into the medium, creating salt buildups if you don't get rid of these. In this situation, I would: 1/ flush the medium with plain pH'd water (pH~6.2) 2/ help the medium to dry quickly by putting a fan blowing a continuous breeze onto the container's surface. 3/ watch for recovery and go back to your nutrient schedule once the plant is fully healthy. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

I'm fairly new myself but it may be due to the pH being at 4. You should try and keep that around 6 depending on what you are growing in.

They look pretty good to me. Maybe on the verge of too much nitrogen. I would personally top them now. Good luck on the rest of the grow!

@CollectiveSol123, I just pinch the top off a little above the nodes you want to top at. Usually above the 3rd node. Just pinch it or cut it with scissors. All those little branches popping out will start shooting up pretty fast after topping it

Im confused by your led question when your plants are outside, or is that for pictures? If so i wouldnt do that taking them in and out its a unnecessary stress, your ph for soil should be 6-6.8 usually you also want to know if your water contains chlorine or chloramine, chlorine will evaporate in 24 hrs of sitting so just let your water sit in a jug or 5 gal bucket for 24 or more hours, chloramine needs filtered out which is a big P.I.T.A. especially with big outdoor plants that take more volume, also outdoor plants will need space i give my girls 4 squared feet each and end of year they are still almost touching, as far as throwing into bloom if they are outdoor they will bloom when the time is right if youre indoor then you can control veg/bloom cycles outdoor not so much, happy growing ** edit ** i now see what you meant after going through your whole diary i dont think you were nutrient locked i think they were just adjusting to coming outside and being your first time youre overthinking things relax and just have fun you'll do just fine

Thanks to everyone who responded.. My plants are in 5 gallon pots and I am going to re introduce the nutrients but I'm so scared someone please give me a guide on how much big Bloom and how much tiger Bloom to add to one gallon of water.. I know I need to add the nutrients but I don't wanna get myself in the same situation I was in before with too much...

@CollectiveSol123, depends on your substrate as mmjmd said if youre using fox farm they have a perfect ph balance soil so i start my nutrients at 25% and increase to full measurements as the soil gets older and loses its viability
