Watering run-off question (sorry for noob question but there are so many different / confusing opinions online)
Bikerwolfstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hello. I know that I shouldn't water unless the top inch of soil is dry, but when I do add water should I add enough to get 10% run off even with a day-19 plant? She is in a 5 gallon fabric pot with Biobizz Allmix soil. Does the 10% run-off thing also apply to feeding? Thanks.

I'm using the same soil as you.. good choice 😝.. that's how I water. I also run 2l of plain water through sometimes (to get rid of salt buildup) then I run 2L of nutes. You can't overwater them in one go. It just needs to dry out (not fully) before the next watering. So much conflicting information about.
I soaked my pot 24hours before seed then left it for 10 days and my plants are looking big for their age I think. I water 2L when they feel really light and i haven't had any issues 😊

Yes, I always water to run off, seedling, veg and flowering.
This helps in 2 regards - 1), ensures the substrate is moistened from top to bottom and 2), helps prevent nutrient salts from building up to toxic levels in your substrate.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

Broken/damaged stem at nodeIs this a good enough job to repair a partial broken stem w/ cotton twine?
Stem broke at the base of the node. Still firmly attached/stands on its own before being tied. Could even move the whole plant when manipulated. The damage has to be 24 hours old.
Any advice appreciated

Keeping smells downSo how do you keep smells down? I'm getting ready to plastic the basement windows and there is only smells in the basement but if your in my driveway you can definitely catch a wiff if the wind blows the right way. It may be legal but there's no reason to draw attention either.Other. General questions

Doing something wrong?As this is my first grow, I’m just curious if I’m doing something wrong. These are both the same strain but aren’t growing the same. Why do they look so different? The plant in the second pic didn’t have any LST, the other did. Am I screwing something up?

Last stets of harvest?hello guys!
So i got this method of a friend of mine,
He told me i should do this the last few
days of harvest so the plant thinks she is dying, so the trichomes start to work faster.
I also wanted to Schock her with ice tommorow, over night, then harvest?

First autoflower. Harvest soon?I need an expert's eye to tell me if I can harvest soon. I realize it might be tricky without being able to see the trichomes but I got a cheap magnifying glass and it's not really helping. Based on the general appearance of my plant, what do you guys think? Cheers.

Flushing, yay or nay?Is flushing absolutely necessary? I’ve read that some people now has mixed opinions on the matter and that it doesn’t actually help with the final product.
If it is in fact necessary, based on my pictures, do you guys think I should start or wait a bit?Week 12
