for the fire alien, specifically, you could remove all the mid to lower large fan leaves attached to the main stem. I usually pinch off any small flower close to the main stem on the mid to lower branches as well. This will get better airflow and light penetration as those leaves are thick and they provide too much surface are to let light in. Outdoors it’s not so critical but your harvest will be better if that foilage is removed.
The flowers on your plants look okay from what I can see. ?

I would definitely test the conductivity and ph. The buds just stopped growing, so I doubt it’s a lighting issue.

that is the veg tent
the light i had in there - the remote.to control % strength broke and i didnt know what it was stuck at. and it was getting super hot

Ill do a bit of pruning on the med-lowers

ive been scared to stress them . lol

i guess im a little impatien thats all.

i think theyre is some nutrient uptake issue otg with them for sure …
should be gettin my ph pen warrantied this week

i wonder if a big flush would help of the soil…i guess im out of luck this time

hope for the best for 2023 #2 run

@ShiskaberrySavior
WAHOOO

this was onn the front step woman said!!

whats the best environment to run these???

lighting ? temps?

i dont really see how its much different than my homr made one .

alot more water movement

i though it was going to be like a sprinker system in there lol

i could have bought a submersible pump .and that big disc air pump

i had 3 curtain walls in there before.

tidy looking set up though.

does it have to be filled to the fill line?

My room is only 35% humidity and around 77 degrees I’ve never noticed a full line on mine as long as the pump is covered and it’s spraying good . You should be fine.

okay. thx.

there is a score line about 4/5 the way up.

alot of tubing.

don’t really understand how to use the muffler.

i think i must be doing a step wrong with my cuts.

too much leaf / cut it wrong , too much of an angle maybe? lol

we will have to wait and see i guess@

going to snip some of my healthier plants.

ive already got a bunch taken.

i just flipped a few plants a few days ago, im going to snag a few before they start flowering

well that one FAk is sure kinda mutant looking eh?
I haven’t seen one do what yours is doing and I wonder if it’s a throwback expression. Is that the one that went all frosty on the leaves a while back?
hope you don’t mind me droppin pics in your thread but for comparison purposes, here is the Fire Alien Kush mother. She had just been put outside and into that 18gallon tote after vegging in a packed room under a 1000halide.

she has just started light dep a few weeks later… very vigorous.

and here she is near harvest. Notice the heavy defoliation between the 2nd pic and 3rd. Pretty much every week leading into flower and during flower I was thinning out large fans ad inner growth. She handles it all.

and a shot of what the average flower the line should produce.

now that was outdoor in the greenhouse light dep but it gives you an idea on what to look for as you go thru the seeds. These are how I would expect most of the plants to be like based on my friends results but there will be outlyers/recesssives… potentially some super freaks? I dunno LOL

whats the best way to use these cubes???

just stick a cut into it? in a plastic tray with the humidity dome ontop??? heating mat?

i think im using too much light for my clones lol

i read smt about they root best from plants grown under t5s???

Yes are the cubes pre soaked if so shouldn’t have to do much other than stick the clones into the cubes.
Heat mat and dome is fine .

.the old jiffy ones my buddy had me soak them for 24 h in p.h d water . then squeeze them almost dry… i never had success lol

Gonna be a bean popping extravaganza good luck with getting things going .
Definitely a fun time sprouting new hopefuls I have a problem refraining from doing the same .
Summer heat and a abundance of ready to smoke weed has me on hold currently.

Hope to be finished up before the hot weather arrives checked the tin box last night 2 hrs after lights on and 81 degrees and it’s only the start of may .

Flipped on the mini split just to confirm it still blows cold air and we’re good . As long as it doesn’t exceed 85 f they’ll have to tough it out . Upped the c02 and increased there feed . Hope they like it hot and tropical .
