Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

So I want to keep lollipoping these girls for 2 reasons 1) Keep pest/mildew issues down 2) grow some big dank nugz.
Question: how high is too high to lollipop? Given these girls are already short, should I be a few nodes down from each top? Send mr your recommendation 😁Week 7

My grow tent is about 2 1/4 feet x 4 x 6 ft . I use an inline exhaust fan on a cycle timer. 400 watt . I have HEPA filters mounted on the little windows for clean passive air- no intake fan.
To keep the RH up and temp down can anyone recommend a cycle time for the exhaust fan?Week 5

Referring to last photo (week 12), she is having weird behaviour: some leaves showing N deficiency (probably normal in this stage) but others are showing some kind of toxicity (?). Also can look like K deficiency, but it would be strange cause I'm pumping it in. What could it be?Week 12

I’ve read that you shouldn’t use nutrients right away because it may cause nutrient toxicity. However my nutrient instructions start on week 1, so I assume it’s ok.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to when I should apply nutrients to the water? I’m growing in a 3gal pot.Week 1

What do you do when one of your Autos flowered super early on one side, and is now fish tailing like a mofo? You’ll see the pics where one aide looks really matured and I’m starting to see some amber trichomes..
But you’ll see on the other side, she looks great and is growing.Week 8

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed2y ago
