First Grow & Legally In Canada

You also need to measure your waste water to find the right ph. I have a very helpful photo.

Most people will by a product called pH Up and pH Down. This adjusts your pH as needed.
Other ways are lemon juice for down, and caustic potash for up. All kinds of ways depending on how you want to do it.

is the general hydroponics pH up and down good for soil?

 

[MrSauga]

yup, they are pretty much the same for the most part. For what the plant needs it's good.

well for a 2 day difference only the zkittlez slowed down the other two didn't waste any time. I fed them all today aswell I was not sure if it mattered that I just topped but I figured if we are stressed sometimes food can help lol must work for them. waiting for the WW to dry up good so I can feed it as it is getting a little yellow down below.

 

[MrSauga]

Feeding is fine after topping. You don't want to do any training or other defol until a few days after.

The Zkittlez is growing one of its branches slightly faster than the other will this make a big impact on topping?

 

[MrSauga]

No, you can pull it down gently once it's a little bigger to bring it even with the other side.

Ok thank you

I think your GZ will bounce back just fine. You training is a little more intense than mine lol, so it might take a bit to recover. They all look good though, can wait to see how they turn out

Thanks I am trying different things but what I read on mainlining was to remove all lower growth it was weird but the king tut was not even phased. The GZ is looking a lot better than the day I topped.

 

[CookieMonster420]

Yeah I've never done it but from what I've seen it looks like you are doing it the right way. I've been thinking about trying it myself so im interested to watch how yours turn out and see the difference in the amount of time you need

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

Is the way I am doing my Lemon Haze the way you typically do it? that one I only topped and then I am going to lst it to give a few nice fat colas I hope

 

[CookieMonster420]

Yeah I usually use 4 nodes but I have used 3 with good success also. Just let it grow out a bit, make sure light is getting to all the growth tips and then in probably a couple weeks start to tie down the top two branches to let the bottom ones catch up. Then eventually tie them down so they are all even. You will probably figure out your own little techniques but once you get going it's pretty easy. And fun.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

thank you I agree I will find how it works best for me i'm exited. I debated a lot as to whether to leave another node but I didn't, should have maybe lol

 

[CS21]

Looking good stoner... if I can offer 1 suggestion, allow for the nodes to grow out a fair bit before next topping. If I do this method again I will definately give a bit more spacing at the bottom of my manifold!!
I added a couple pics just so you see what I mean... mine are quite tight at the bottom.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

So you are saying to maybe use the forth node to top again rather than say the second to let the 2 sides grow further apart?

 

[CS21]

Well it all depends on how far apart the nodes come in... but yes I would wait till at least the 3rd or 4th node. I believe I did mine on the 3rd node on the second topping and I would have waited longer if I did it again.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

ok thank you so much I will keep that in mind

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

So I am hoping for some opinions, I have the option to put plants out in the greenhouse but it has been cloudy lately and I thought being super close to the fluorescents might be better am I wrong?
