What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

I've done a couple of SCROG grows and you want to train the branches under the net during all of veg. This is something you should start now (I usually start training mine at 2 weeks, and keep the screen about 8" above the soil) and do throughout veg.

When growing in a SCROG, you flip once it is about 50% to 75% full depending on how much you expect your plant to stretch. With an indica cross like GDP, you'll want to wait until it's closer to 75% full. You will then continue tucking until the flowering stretch is over.

Of course, all this is up to you...keeping her in veg longer allows the plant to grow larger which increases yields.

Let us know how it's working out for you!

Defoliation is a personal preference. I try and use that particular technique when there is absolutely no other option. Try leaf tucking and bending, or stretching branches apart first. This will help keep leaves from laying on each other and ensure better light penetration to the lower growth.
I hope you find this helpful, even though the response was somewhat belated.
 
I’m disabled and my hip has become so bad I can’t stand and take care of my plants like they should be, and I had a flooded house last summer that I still can’t get together being alone. How do I find someone to help me off and on moving plants trimming and training them. During the pack out of my belongings the guys offered to help me get them back together but I didn’t get any names or numbers to contact them (I was in shock from having heart surgery coming home and my house flooded the next morning)I’m in the North Las Vegas area, Greg
 
Sorry to here your disability is causing you so much grief. I googled for nevada or las vegas cannabis clubs but there were no results. Perhaps some one on this board or other similar boards may be of some help..
 
Do you use Facebook? There are some cannabis growing groups, and another for FECO that is focused on helping ill people. You might find a member who lives nearby. Tag me if you want the names of the Pages/groups.
 
New grower: finally got the amount of water for each pot dialed in enough to get runoff. I tested the runoff and the PH was 6. The distilled water I was using had a PH of 7, up until yesterday when i had to water with regular tap water that had a ph of 9. So would that mean that my soil has a low enough ph where I can just use tap water and not adjust it with PH down?
 
Distilled water can not be PH tested as there is nothing in it to read, you will have to add something like epsom salt to it so your meter can read it. Also distilled water will become acidic setting, that can be boiled off.
 
Rwise is quite correct. It is not possible to measure distilled water pH (without specialised lab equipment). I use rainwater and I cannot measure the pH accurately in that without adding a small amount of salts or something.
Aim for pH runoff of around 6.5 with a decent pH meter, an Apera PH60 is the one to use..anything cheaper is junk.
 
Does anyone know the weight percent of wet, fresh harvested bud to dry bud? I'm guessing 25 - 35%, anyone have something better than a guess?
 
The topic I usually wonder the most about is pheno or geno hunting cultivars. 1st off genetics are everything BUT…Is the hunt really all about the amount of seeds you go through or is the environment and grower the largest factor. If it is a quantity of seeds thing how are some of our elite cuts from a bag seed where quantity was limited. If environment has little to do with it why did landrace strains only grow in particular areas. What makes a 1000 seed pheno hunt ran in a 3 part or slightly boosted 3 part fertilizer better than a full blown organic 30 seed hunt where symbiotic relationships between the plant and soil biology play a large part in expressions shown. I’m not a breeder no do I aspire to be. I just question everything.
 
How many plants can I feasibly fit in a 2x2x4 tent? I have 3 autoflower seeds left and I'm hoping to grow them all at the same time.
 
>Depends on you skill level in training them low.

Yes I'm on the final stretch of my first grow. I have 1 superskunk photoperiod and one Northern lights autoflower. I did some minor training like bending and topping. but next time I plan to scrog.
 
I'm about to go out of town for 6 days. My 2 plants (5 gallon pots) are in the early stages of flowering. How many gallons on water should I set up with watering spikes
 
When do I bend it? I attempted to bend it and it leaned at the base not really a bend so I didn’t bend it. It’s an OG mush auto wk 4 day 32.in Happy Frog in a 10 gallon fabric pot.

You can do it now. Make sure to anchor down the base stalk in the soil before you gently begin bending the center stalk in about a 80-90 degree and then tie that down. Let it get use to that for a few days you'll see her top reach upwards, then if want to do further training It's OK.
 
Tent growers: How long do you usually keep your exhaust system on? I usually turn mine on when I wake up and turn it off when I go to bed.

Light cycle: I'm planning my next grow and I'm wondering what the most cost effective setting is for my light ( Groplanner LED Grow Light GP1500). I'm doing all autos next this time so I figure I have some wiggle room with lighting.
