Dedonstarted grow question 7y ago
Hi ! I'll switch to a bigger HID lamp for flowering phase. (Silvana Grolux 400W => Silvana Grolux 600W).
I usually switch to the bigger one when I switch to 12/12. Do you think I should use it earlier ?
I know it's a stupid question 😂

If you start directly under 600, you'll reduce your growth time in my opinion, but it might increase the heat, which isn't really ideal in the first weeks. I always did like you when I was full indoor: 400mh for veg and 600hps for flower.
Good question, but different solutions are possible.

Just a few weeks from harvest and have some friends telling me to harvest and dry with the roots attached. Can't find any info on this. Anybody have experience with drying the whole plant roots included? Their idea is to wash the soil off the roots then hang them upside.Week 10

When a breeder quotes an estimated range for yield what assumptions do the make:
1. Is the quoted yield based on wet or dry weight
2. Is the range based on standard growth or do the high end numbers typically assume advanced training techniques, supplemental lighting etc.Week 5

Hi everybody!
I was wondering if anybody has some experience with a light on/light off schedule? 2h light, half hour dark.
For a lightcycle of 12h total.
My lamps tend to get pretty hot, seeing how they are built in a closet I don't want them to get too hot.. Advice wanted! :DWeek 1

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?Week 1

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

My seedling in the red solo cup was knocked over and fell out! I immediately picked it back up and replanted it in the cup. I also added more soil and watered it soon after. Is there anything else I should do or is this seedling dead? Btw there was no physical damage to the plantWeek 1

Does anyone know any quick and easy methods to lower the humidity? When my lights go off I’m hitting like 60% RH and I’m concerned I might start to get some sort of mould/rot? Lights on isn’t an issue as I’m averaging around 37% RH. Any help or guidance would be helpful, cheers ✌️Week 13
