Do you have any height control tips

Jokes on you it goes through my head like a energy bullet*

Stay safe

Part of the living-soil practice is to develop a soil that contains an ecosystem which performs useful services for the plant, like fighting off soil-loving pests, outcompeting root rot, and increasing the availability of nutrients in symbiosis with the plant's roots, which you can then reuse with future crops with only minor amendments.

In addition to all the tips, everything else equal, a cooler, more bluish white light will help keep plants shorter than a warmer, more reddish light.

You can only prove this by posting your driver's license.

that's all fancy speak for organic soil growing. that's literally how organic gardening works. hippies love to stroke their egos and make you think they are doing some next level shit when really it's the same stuff everyone has always done. reusing your soil takes time and it works best if you live in a place like cali where you have no real winter. most people simply replace the organic soil every grow just because it's easier to skip the work and time needed to break down all the old dead roots.

>worms
they don't have enough time to have any appreciable effect. much easier and more effective to buy worm castings.
>bees
have zero role in the cultivation of cannabis flower
>moss and mushrooms and another plant
give no benefit and in fact consume nutrients that would otherwise go to the weed plant. they are detrimental.

Learn how the world works. The NSA monitors all digital communications. AI scans images for anything interesting and keywords flag an actual NSA employee to monitor and decide what to do with the information. Anything illegal is sent to the proper jurisdiction to deal with. DEA and cops in that jurisdiction then do a "parallel investigation" where they'll lie about a bullshit investigation so they can get inside a house to bust someone for the crime that the NSA alerted them to.

any tips for growing with hydroponics?

flood and drain is the easiest and cheapest form of hydroponics. if your area is prone to power outages you may want to reconsider doing hydro though unless you have a generator. always use house & garden drip clean. systems will stay much cleaner and relatively salt free as long as you use that product. cut nute strength to at least half unless you have a feed chart specifically for hydroponics.

"blue" lights are for growth, red is for flowering. And all that means is the wavelength. You switch from one to the other when you do the 18-6 blue/ 12-12 red flip. The plant thinks fall is approaching and triggers the budding cycle.

>haha you posted all people that post are the same

Tsk

Look up hempy buckets. They require no pumps, you fill them and they leak out at a certain height keeping the roots satisfied. Easy to flood with clean water if you fuck up the nutes, easy to flush at harvest. No dirt required, you can use pearlite or hydroton, or both.

>hempy buckets
that's not hydroponics. that's just an automated feeding system

It doesn't use soil, uses hydroton, and brings the nutes via hydroponic technique. It feeds the roots from the bottom up. Theres no other word for it. Its foolproof and works great.

hydroton has no wicking ability. you can't do a bottom feed system with it. i would know since i own two of these style systems. at the very least you would need to mix it with soil or some soilless mixture like coco or peat for it to work.

The 1st plant I ever grew

If you read my original comment, you'd notice I said "pearlite" can be used with it. So can coco. The only difficult piece to acquire is the hydroton, but its cheap and available online. Tell me how else you can build a complete seedling to harvest system for five bucks.

my first plant got too big and i didn't know what to do with it because i had no equipment and if i flowered it outside the neighbors would smell it so i gave it to a friend and it got taken from him when the cops kicked in his apartment door. turned out the had the wrong address and where looking for someone else. that was back in the good old days when we were living like we were in the movie blow but selling acid instead of weed.

Use home made seaweed tea as foliar spray in veg every day. Trust me.

perlite and hydroton are both just forms of heat expanded rock material. neither one has the ability to wick water. as soon as you a dd something like coco it's no longer hydroponics. what hick place do you live where hydroton is hard to come by? i can drive a mile down the road and buy a pallet of it.
>Tell me how else you can build a complete seedling to harvest system for five bucks.
did i say there was another way to do it that cheap? you're arguing with thin air here.

everyday is a bit much. once a week is fine.

An intelligent person would say "oh, that sounds interesting, maybe I'll do some research and try it". The ignorant will say "WRONG, FALSE, YOU'RE STUPID." So, I guess we know which one you are. I can get five ounces per bucket with a 240w 7-band LED lamp, footprint fits three buckets.

i already told you i own two of the systems you're talking about. i don't need to do research. i literally have them twenty feet from me. you're also a liar who is not pushing out a pound of dry weed under a shitty 240w LED. you can't bullshit me, i've been doing this way to long for that.

Attached: 1373811616149.gif (300x200, 903K)

For the record, heres how I did mine. Around the bottom, about 4 inches up,, drill six holes that are big enough to remain clear for drainage. Get a 5 gal bucket for each one to sit in, and cut the bottom off, making a tray. Fill with your medium. The overflow will drip into the cut-off bucket. Fill from the top until the holes start to dribble. You're done for two days. You can flush easily, and you can put tomato cages in to help it stay low. No topping required. Lights as explained. Foxfarm nutes. Charcoal filter with speed control. The whole thing was probably $400. The lamp and suck-o-matic charcoal filter are the most expensive parts. After the first grow, it costs exactly three seeds, one nute kit, and one new charcoal filter, or you can refill the activated charcoal by hand. Approx $40 after the first grow.

What's wrong with it?

Stop watering under lights

I threw a bunch of seeds on my property years ago and went on with my life.

AMA

Information About Big Bud Strain
ORIGIN Afghani, Northern Lights, and Skunk No. 1.
CBD % 0.1%
INDICA/SATIVA % 85%/15%
INDOOR YIELD 12 to 20 ounces per square meter

Probably nothing, maybe a little too hot under the lights. Typically when you see the serrations of the leaves curling upwards that means the plants are being heated up too much by the lights. I’m not convinced that’s what I’m seeing here. I think it’s more likely your seedlings are just being a bit weird. Keep an eye on them for discoloration

Dude I was growing big bud a decade ago. Just because the breeder says it yield x amount per square meter doesn’t mean you get that much. Your talking to someone who’s been making a living doing this for a full decade. There is zero chance you are pulling 15oz from a 240w LED. Zero.

In fact these pics are of a big bud x quirkle cross I bred from seed.

Think what you want.

My Big Bud looked nothing like that. Mine was all one main cola. It looked like three pine trees the size of fire hydrants.

I don’t think, I know. You’re full of shit and anyone who’s ever spent any time growing would know you’re full of shit too. It’s nothing short of retarded to go around claiming you pull 1.7g/w with nothing short of a fully climate controlled room with CO2 and a two month veg. I know a handful of people in my entire time spent doing this that can hit those numbers or better and they certainly aren’t growing in room with shitty carpet and fake wood paneling on the walls using trash bag lined buckets. You’re a fool.

You can’t read very well. That’s a cross.

Why would people go on the internet and tell lies user?

You tell me, you’re the one making the laughably absurd claims.

I know it is, which wasn't done very well. A closet measuring 3x3 is approx a square meter. Total climate control, because of the adjustable fan filter. I did use some CFLs during bud, and always use a long veg cycle. I've had the same results a half-dozen times. Only do it about once a year because I don't sell it. Which means I've been doing it for about seven years, I prefer the winter for obvious reasons.

>I did use some CFLs during bud
Ok user. Goodnight and happy dreams because that the only place you’re going to hit the numbers you claim. If you came into my work asking about CFL lighting to grow weed I would show you the door. You’re a joke, goodnight.

That wasn't me, pal. And I'm providing this info for the noobs who may actually appreciate knowing it can be done without big expensive flood tables and a lot of difficulty.

I don't keep the plastic liner in the can, doofus. Its a stock photo to show the preferable design, because it's tapered at the bottom and fits into the 5gal catch basin perfectly.

Oh, you have a problem using supplimental lighting? Thats not cheating, people light the undercanopy all the time. It helps prevent mold while also providing extra lumens. I don't know why this is so offensive to you, buy you sound like a dickish snob who can't be taught anything.

If you haven't flipped over to flowering yet you need to top these and remove the bottom sucker branches.

Significantly more yield this way.

Dude you don’t even know that plants don’t absorb light from the underside of the leaves. OMG for your own sake just stop posting because I don’t think I can take anymore. It in no way would or could prevent mold. By what mechanism would that ever be possible? It makes no sense. What’s offensive to me is how incredibly ignorant you are in an era where the resources to learn proper growing are literally at your finger tips. There are half a dozen great books dedicated to the cultivation of cannabis and you obviously never opened the cover of a single one.

By the way, I also suggest getting a grow book, like the Growers Bible by Casaverdes and joining the forums at Grass City, so you don't have to listen to advice from dicks like the guy arguing with me.

They aren’t flowering. They’re only two weeks old and we’re topped a few days ago.

You are fucking stupid. Light kills mold. Horizontal lighting inside the canopy is extremely common. You can literally see light through the leaves, therefore it is photosynthesizing the light from any direction.

nice, now pull those suckers from down below.

They will only be popcorn anyways.

You’re literally dropping my IQ just by interacting with you. Light does not kill mold. Where in the flying fuck did you get that idea? UVC spectrum light in a high enough concentration will neutralize spores buy you’re using regular household CFL’s. Honestly it’s scary seeing how convinced you are that you actually know what you’re talking about.

All in good time

IS SIDE LIGHTING A HOAX?
Side lighting does work, just not in the cause-effect fashion some may think. Doubling your light exposure to the sides and bottom will not double your yield. It will certainly give it a bump, but side lighting should not be your primary strategy for maximising final dry weight.

When growing other plant species that do not exhibit apical dominance, side lighting will have a positive yield correlation. Regarding cannabis though, particularly indoors, side lighting does have its place. Underground micro-growers have puzzlingly small spaces to work with and have no choice but to get creative. The same goes for cupboard grow-ops where space is so tight, there is no room for light to bounce around to reach the lower canopy. In this situation, side lighting is essential to maintain base level physiologic photosynthesis.

You're the kind of guy that would grow mushrooms on your windowsill and wonder why they're all fucked up.

Mold and airflow kills mold. Buy a fucking book. You don't need to spray the shit out of everything. I've never once used pesticides.

Edit "mold" -- light and airflow.

why are you not trimming, fimming or doing anything to boost harvest? I could be wrong but it doesn't look like you're doing anything to boost your cola count.
The lower sugar leaves on the bottom don't really accomplish anything even with HPS or other powerful/hot lighting setups so you should just trim them.

I can't seriously believe a guy who grows and would probably insist on a reflective mylar covering (or white) on the walls doesn't understand the benefits of supplemental lighting.

Goodnight user. Before I go to bed i’ll pray god blesses you with two brain cells you can rub together. Maybe then you can write a coherent post that has anything to do with the post your linking. Have fun making up things on the internet and spreading terrible misinformation about how to grow weed.

Can't you tell he's inexperienced anyway? He's just going to have one big cola instead of many medium sized ones, not trimming at all, not maximizing his lighting, etc

>88
>666
oshit

Supplemental lighting is always a waste of money. Take that money and spend it on another overhead grow light instead. Much much much much better use of your money and you get a much much much better return on your money.

Actually reflective wall coverings are only truly effective when your canopy is very close to the wall, ideally pushing up against it. Light that bounces off of walls diminishes in intensity incredibly quickly and if you have a couple feet between your plants and wall the reflective material makes almost no appreciable difference in the total light hitting your plants. Done the experiment many times with a PAR meter.

In the beginning, those fan leaves are important engines for growth. You don't trim them until later, when they start blocking young buds. At that point, I've always called them Sucker Leaves and they can be removed.

Trimming and fimming and topping is usually best left to someone who's had a few grows and knows what NOT to cut away. Personally, I like one big center cola more than two or more from a scrog situation. But when space is an issue, topping or just tying them down can do interesting things. This is a form of scrogging (without the screen) called LST or low stress training, which is basically tying the plant down to make several tops form.

Attached: LST.jpg (830x510, 135K)

No. In a confined space, light equals heat. They also cost more than a few CFL bulbs, which you can arrange more easily. Hanging a light requires different hardware than just tying a loose knot in an extension cord. You don't need the big light until you're many weeks into it. So, the second lamp is only used for flowering, primarily.

Mine were white so I just left them that way. Same result. But you only need a quick stroll through the web to see many set-ups that are covered in tinfoil. Even professional grow tents have mylar interiors.

Doesn’t change or disprove anything I said. PAR meters don’t lie.

They're important for the first two days and even that is debatable. They are actually holding the plant back because it is expending energy supporting an appendage that isn't putting that energy back in. They are simply too far away from the light source and other leaves are blocking some or most of the light anyway.

also FIM literally stands for "fuck i missed" so oops on you there, it's actually one of the most rookie friendly techniques to learn early on lol

jesus no wonder there's so much bullshit weed flooding the market
op has no fucking clue how to grow, doesn't even know what FIM means

I'm not OP, you dullard. And if you want to cut the emerging buds off your plants, go the fuck ahead. Maybe thats why you can't get over 4 z's out of a plant that was designed for big indoor grows. While you're at it, go ahead and cut all the fan leaves off your month old plant, see how it looks in two months. Probably a scraggly piece of green wood, like your dick.

By the way, samefagging is pretty fucking lame, bro. I have some advice for anyone who is interested in reading this thread, try both methods. One costs virtually nothing, yeilds great. The other guy is telling you to cut random chunks off your plants, doesn't understand supplemental light, is shitposting like a motherfucker, probably LARPing, and hasn't posted one photo of his stash, jars, or grow room. (except for a photo of some ten year old schwag). Go with your gut. Pot is a hardy plant and requires minimal effort to make good dense buds. One LED and a drill. Thats all you need. I'm not sure why angry guy is growing pot in the first place, it obviously does him no good, except to make money from fast-batch grows. Thats always a good source of tips, from someone who profits when you fail.

If you look at the pix, I took them from 420 Magazine. I don't LST, but its a better option than cutting away at plants when you don't understand why you're cutting them. All you do is bend the branch. Not too complicated, Einstein.

a drill? What do you do with that?

240w actual watts of LM301B LEDs will easily grow at least 300+ grams, but 400 does sound too high to 99% of growers. I've seen a vertical 40x40cm tent with less than 200 watts of LED that yielded 400+ grams.
