, I use 600w HID (HpS, mh) and a small LED for spectrum. Light meter just gives me an idea what the canopy is getting.

Anything free, probably won't work. Best option is to buy an actual lux meter, instead of using your phone. They're like 30$ or something, so won't make you starve.

Why is crossing genetics on a breeder level such a big thing and crossing genetics after harvest (let's say like cocktails-receips) almost no thing at
Why is crossing genetics on a breeder level such a big thing and crossing genetics after harvest (let's say like cocktails-receips) almost no thing at all? The mixture of effects and tastes would be much easier to test, the desired goal easier to reach. Or am I wrong?

Light schedule for autos on late flower
Should I increase dark period to 12 hrs (or more)? Is there any evidence this helps autos in the late flowering stage?

Do you micromanage your grow...I do!?
"Poll" question...how many of us spend enormous time caring for our plants. Checking temperatures, humidity, water, nutrients, air turnover, light, canopy, VPD, pests, supplements and just about everything...all the time!? Maybe it gets easier with better equipment/knowledge lol.

Is it possible to do the Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting technique when already switched to flowering?
Hi Is it harmfull to the plants to do some Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting when I have already switched to 12/12? I might want to do it in a few days when they have recovered fully from the defoliation. Thank you

Coco and Worm Castings - Does Total Dissolved Solids Matter?
Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY

tips for cuttings ? :)
Hi buddies, Is it good to take a cutting at the start of flowering like the 2nd week? Or when is the right time? And how can I save my cutting to regrow it 2 months later?
