No, it is not botanically possible. It is pure BS/Bro Science.

There's an inspection of my flat next week. While I'm not breaking any local laws, I still need to move my plants from my grow tent. Just for an hour or so. My plan is to snip the netting, and stake the plants. Any other/better ideas?

at the moment I'm using a 250W HPS and 2 40W CFL, this takes humidity down. When I will afford LEDs do you think that the humidity will stay as per night or drop down like maximum 10% or it will have same behavior as with hps/cfl combo? Thanks

pHWhich pH & ppm details should I use to fill in the diary's info? Should I use the readings from the run-off, or from the water before I gave it to the plant? (I suppose is the former, but asking just to be 100% sure 😎)

Photoperiod? or Auto its week 7It is week 7 day 1 and my TOP RIGHT(TR) plant has not shown any signs of flowering (no white hairs). Is this a good indication that this is a photoperiod plant? I am at 14/10 hours because I am on a fixed energy plan. Should I lower it to 12 to find out? I dropped seedlings week2

Water pHMy water pH is 8, so use Biobizz ph-down to reduce it to 6 (5L bucket and used about 0.5L only). But when checked it after 2 days, I got again 8. It's normal? Should I use pH-down before every watering even it was already reduced?
