What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Farmall]

Watering too frequently is really over watering and standing water is a no-no as well. I have friends with houseplants that kill them by watering every other day

[wolfalias]

People say the biggest mistake made by new growers, is over watering. I've also read where you should water your plants to, I think 20%, runoff. My question is this-what's the difference between over watering, and watering to runoff? Seems like a contradiction to me.

Hi mingzhu, that should help you. I got the lux meter she recommends, and I use it on each grow to see how much light is penetrating to lower areas.

[mingzhu]

My biggest question: the lowest lux data for the bottom bud position

Because of the difference in lighting; I want to know, plants in the 12/12 stage, the position of the bottom buds with LUX measuring instrument to measure the light level; at least what data (XX lux) need to be reached; in order to continue to grow effective flowers! This is very important! I am a beginner; I now know that the light energy during flowering determines the final yield; so I need a valid number (bottom bud position ~ lux can not be lower than how much data). If I know this data, I can train my plant accurately. ! But unfortunately; I have been looking for a website for a long time; there is no value for this! I am currently using LEC630+LEC315; I don't know if my description is detailed because of language restrictions; I hope my question can get the answer! Thank you

Retodd That really is to nice of a box for herbs lol did you make a different one ? I will say I really like the idea of fluxing and from what I can tell from my girls its going to be a massive plant .

[Retodd]

Here’s a picture of the box I made for fluxing. I’ve since given it to my mom for herbs

[Retodd]

It’s fun af to try different methods! They’ll come back. Hell, last grow I accidentally set my soil on fire for 3 hrs and they lived. I’d have a habit of smoking in my room and putting my cig out in the corner of my flux box I built. Wasn’t thinking about how dry the soil was there and POOF....smoldering fire...lol. Lost half of my grow, but they lived. I now have a ashtray hahhaa

@mmmhmmmmI3 Here what’s in my tent now. The two in the back are white widow autos. I only have the photos in there to start them. They’ll get transplanted outdoors in a couple weeks. If you have more questions for professional growers come to me and my friends thread The Great Auto Showdown. He do back to back growing competitions and always happy to help out new growers. Hope this helps. If you zoom in on my pics you’ll see where each have been clipped.🙏🏼✌🏻

Looks nice. I am trying to do my photo lavender like your big plant split into 4 stems. It's definitely split into 2 stems and they each go at a 45 degree angle. Then topped each of them again and it seems to be starting to explode. I see a tiny little leaf, come back from work, it's now a few times larger and see another leaf coming in. I will check out the Great Auto Showdown, thanks. Not sure what's up with the picture. I'll fix it sometime tomorrow.

[Retodd]

I do the same thing. I use coated speaker wire. If you see in the third pic I also use cotton twine. I can tie it to weights and really spread it out while using yo-yos to hold them up. How’s your flux going? It’s just going to make due until I get the room of moving the photos outside. It’s only a couple more weeks. I loaded my shovel out too and waiting to get it back😂

[oldjarhead100]

Retodd this is just something I figured out in cloth pots I will poke a hole in the side with my trimmers then I take some of that green wire wrapped in rubber this gives me the ability to tie down those plants that grow over the pot edges like the one in the 4th pic on the right side

Wouldn’t let me open the gallery. The whole part of autos is the speed of growth. There’s a unlimited number of ways to trim and train. I have autos and photos in my tent right now. On my autos I’m fluxing them. My photos I didn’t top. Best way for growing your autos is to top after the second set of nodes. You’ll have a north, south, east, and west set of stems then. I’ll tag you in the next post and show you my widows. They’re a month old today. On my photos you’ll see how I’ve defoled them too. I take off all sun leaves on my plants as they grow and the bottom 1/2 to 2/3rds fan leaves. Only defol 3-4 days apart to give them a chance to get out of shock and always right before feeding.

Looks nice, good luck

I have a question about topping and fim. I have been reading a lot on this when trying to decide what method to go with on the autos.

What is the difference between just cutting off the fan leaves so all the lower growth gets light and now you have more colas? Can you get the same result with this and if so, is there any benefit to just cutting the early fan leaves? I imagine less stress and maybe thats the whole point. This would be somewhere in the middle between fim and topping in regards to stress level on the plant.

After I fim'd the plant, it seemed about the same as just cutting the fan leaves off blocking the light. It seems like with fim we are just trimming the fan leaves to let light hit further down.

The plant below was from a lavender photo seed that made two plants (split them right away). The other is normal to large for 3 weeks old and this one is tiny. Fan leaves were blocking this new growth from getting light. Since this is an extra plant I figured f it, let's try this and I cut the fan leaves off in hopes that all 4 sections with new leaves will keep growing.
