Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest ...
Athosanswered grow question 7y ago
Go ahead and cut the lowest branches. They they will amount to nothing and the airflow will improve, reducing the risk of mold. Also less tops mean they will be bigger

Does anyone else get a brown film around the water line in your reservoir? I have never had a problem using maxibloom but received Two pints of A+B advance nutrients. I also see this when using floranova. Could anyone shed some light on this. Tap water starts 5.5 ph slowly raisesWeek 6

I am using a crude yeast and sugar water mix for CO2 production. My space is 80cm x 3m x 2.3m. Does anyone have any experience of whether this is doing anything? I have the fan on constantly so the air is being recycled. Just wondering if what I am doing is worth it?Week 7

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600.
General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!Week 10

So I am currently on day 28 of flower and seeing no new signs of deficiencies. I’m running the Sensi bloom schedule at half strength 800ppm. Should I up my feed if my plants aren’t showing signs of deficiencies or will not do anything and just cause salt buildup?Week 13

I know I am nearing the end of this journey, that started. Many months ago with some seedy weed. I also know I need to be patient, however should I partially harvest the larger plant?
The smaller plant isn’t there yet as is the lower sections of the big plant, any views?Week 18

I have to choose one of the seedlings. Only room for one. Both planted same time. The one in final pot sprouted two days later than "Beer Cup". If I want to go with Beer Cup,then I need to transplant asap? Let me know which one you think looks 💪.Transplanting is of course a riskWeek 2

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.2y ago

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)?
*The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*Week 10
