@@@Aiiogrow, ouch! I was wondering after seeing the pic from below, looked awful dense,. F1 is a strain that needs some breathing room or constantly light deleafing especially after buds have set..

How did the harvest go?

@capt_crunch, it looks like the 5x5 setup am I right? The plants look like they're loving it

@robthegardenersteele, They’re awesome, I’ve got both the Emerson and exotic. Kinda bad design on those boards. The plug hangs out the side, so while lowering my light it broke the plug off my exotic board. They are fixing it though. Only had the damn thing running a week before it broke. The plants have exploded under these lights. I’m not exaggerating what so ever. If you look at my other grow I have. Those are the proof.

Is that an Emerson or Exotic booster?

Hey there, how are you enjoying the v3 pucks?

@@lilbp420, fair enough, my experience is that jiffy pots invite moulds and bugs. I've seen 4ft tall plants in 2inch net pots, roots swimming in water with nutes. No organics at all, strictly mineral, with the only issue being algae on the rockwool if it gets wet and spider mites at certain times of the year.. only pest control is some sticky traps and cold water sprays when bugs arise.. but to each their own. Cheers

@@lilbp420, ever consider dropping down to 2" net pots for the duration? Plant stalks shouldn't exceed that size in an indoor deep water grow. Save a few bucks on rockwool too...

Try rockwool instead of clay, smaller net pots, as the roots are in h2o, the pots are support, as well as add trellis to help with weight distribution. Mild peroxide solution can be used to sterilize immediately followed up with a triple rinse. But don't let it contact the plant at all if possible as peroxide will strip the protective waxy coating on the leaves and stems making it easier for pests and moulds to attack, same goes for the unprotected root hairs.. careful if you do.

@robthegardenersteele, cant find trips. checked. pretty sure its from spraying the rizothonic over them when they where 1 week old. will check for trips again later :)

Spots on leaves possible thrip damage?
