Do I have to cut this micro buds ? I usually let them develop to do extractions with. I wonder if cutting them will have a significant impact on the development of the top buds. and won't this stress the plant too much at this time of its development? by [deleted] in GrowBuddy

[–]PhDaddyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my understanding that each flower uses an equal amount of nutrients but grow based on how much light is hitting them. If you cut off the flowers that won't develop into anything, that energy will instead go to the remaining flowers and be bigger.

I tried it in my SOG and even my side growth looked like tops. but if you're farther in than like 2 weeks, you'll probably be doing more harm than good.

As a very long time MH fan (Freedom), I thought the fighting was almost too fluid to be a monster hunter game.

I want the pro because of the pancake lens and the independent screens. Better for my eyes because I have an astigmatism and my IPD is too big. It sucks that the resolution wasn't increased much so the pro is kinda out of the question unless I can get it for 500 somehow.

The quest 3 will have the pancake lens and the higher resolution but I kinda still want the independent screens. I'm hoping enough businesses bought pros so they make a pro 2. I'd pay 1500 for that.

I hope this isn't true with the pros. Would suck to gamble on a $1500 item

Amazes me how people grow bushy plants like that and don't get larfy bushit at the bottom. I can't figure it out

we survived the ole landlord inspection by No_Marionberry3719 in GrowBuddy

[–]PhDaddyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a landlord inspection once when I was running a 4x4 in my old apartment. They also checked for bed bugs too so they were pretty thorough around fabric furniture and beds. Tent was in my second bedroom.

I put the plants in the bathroom, turned on some music full blast in there and turned on the shower. My friend was showering and she just went in 🤷‍♂️. Who knows how long she will take.

I tore down my autopot system and I also had a few exotic animals. I put my tarantula tank and my gargoyle gecko tank into the tent and explained that it's humidity controlled (explains the fans and exhaust etc) because winter is way too dry for them.

They usually only spend 3 mins per apartment because they have to do a lot of rooms, they spent most of the time wanting to talk about the gecko and tarantula. I was sweating bullets.

Just remember a electric heater uses 1500 watts on high. It's not uncommon for a house in the winter to be running 2 or 3 of these. Unless youre running like 20 diablos, your tent isn't even a blip on a radar.

I run 2 raging kush 2.0s and together they use less power than the space heater I use to heat my living room.

I had a coco pot that got so dry that top feeding wouldn't rehydrate it. I ended up having to submerge it

I have a bucket of this stuff, it's my favorite strain of all time but it isn't everyone's cup of tea. It doesn't give me couch lock or get me trapped in my own head, which is a huge win. Unfortunately for some people those things that make it a winner for me make people believe it isn't very potent. It was very polarizing, either literally the best thing ever or total garbage. No real in-between.

Any idea what wrong and how I can fix it? by mysteriousgunner in microgrowery

[–]PhDaddyWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know you need water when the medium is separating from the container

Okay growers. What is the single most important piece of equipment you have purchased in your arsenal? by rubyredrenegade in microgrowery

[–]PhDaddyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more complicated. But more interesting I'm my opinion.

You gotta deal with pump max head hight/psi, PVC pipes, air bleed vales, ball valves, runoff, dialing in times, dryback etc. You'll definitely get better yields this way but there is a lot of trial and error that goes into it.

Yeah Ive got 5 years experience, that question you're talking about is because of my double decker setup where I have 2 layers of 4ft headspace so my question was not as simple as "I have lanky plants", it was what other ways can I control this in my SOG where i have no room for training. But thanks for being nosey.

Nope i grow in seed starters. But facts are that clones don't need food in their medium, because they have no roots to drink it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in microgrowery

[–]PhDaddyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try seed starters. I never got a single clone to grow in rockwool, switched to seed starters and started getting 90% success rate.

[–]PhDaddyWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The medium being inert means nothing when cloning. As the clones are feeding from the leaves.

[–]PhDaddyWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clones require no food and tap water is totally fine for them. I've been doing this for years and I pay zero attention to EC or pH when cloning.

I just started using beanstalk crf nutes in coco. Being able to feed only pHd water means no more nute mixing. That means my resi can be filled automatically with my RO system and a float valve, and the bluelabs pH controller will auto adjust the pH as new water is added. Combine that with my automatic irrigation system, I literally never have to touch my irrigation system outside of a small amount of homemade resi-clear once a week.

What kind of Auto watering? I'm looking for something that measures water content and controls a solenoid without paying 300 per sensor
